The L
has done great things for us;
we are glad indeed.
— Psalm 126:3
TRUE BLINDNESS
Bartimaeus caused a stir. Normally he sat by the side of the road being a “good blind beggar.” But one day Jesus
passed nearby. Bartimaeus jumped up and called out to Jesus. We can imagine him turning toward the direction of the
commotion and noise. Bartimaeus probably had his arms outstretched as he shouted out to the son of David.
The people who knew him were embarrassed by his outburst. They tried to hush him up and get him to sit back
down by the roadside. Their actions spoke volumes: “Bartimaeus, you’re not fit for Jesus.” But it was okay for them
and other “sighted” people to follow Jesus. In today’s readings, we learn that true blindness is not a condition of our
eyes but of our hearts.

“I WOULD”
(If I Knew How Much God Loves Me)
I would fear less and Love more.
I would worry about the future less knowing God’s Love is there.
I would rely less on myself and His Love more.
I would love others more knowing how He Loves them.
I would laugh more and cry less…
I would frown less and smile more.
I would try to control people less and trust God more.
I would accept the circumstances of my life knowing God is working with me.
I would criticize the faults of others less knowing God is working with them.
I would be less lonely and feel His loving presence more.
I would make sacrifices less reluctantly because of His sacrifice.
I would hurry less knowing that God is everywhere.
I would be less impatient knowing God’s Love sets things right.
I would plan less and let His Love guide me.
I would concentrate on my weaknesses less and His Love more.
TO DEATH
I have not gathered gold,
the fame I won perished.
In love I found tomorrow
that enhanced my life.
Of wealth or of glory
I shall not leave behind me.
I think it, O God enough,
My name in the heart of a child.
God Bless, Fr. Mike

Giggles:
Witches
What do witches put on their hair? Scare spray.
What do you call a nervous witch? A twitch.
What happens to a witch if she loses her temper while riding her broom? She flies off the handle.

Banks
Employees at a British bank complained to their manager that they had not been
given prior notice of a takeover by Banco Santander. The manager said, “No one
expected the Spanish acquisition”.
The problem with investment bank balance sheets is that on the left side nothing
is right, and on the right side nothing is left.
Did you hear what happened to the witch’s house during the credit crunch? It was re-possessed.

Trigésimo Domingo
del Tiempo Ordinario
25 de octubre de 2015
Estábamos alegres,
pues ha hecho grandes cosas
por su pueblo el Señor.
— Salmo 126 (125):3
VERDADERA CEGUERA
Bartimeo causó tremenda conmoción. Por lo regular él estaba sentado al borde del camino siendo un
“buen mendigo ciego”. Pero un buen día pasó Jesús cerca de ahí. Bartimeo se puso de pie en un salto y le
gritó a Jesús. Nos podemos imaginar como se daba vuelta en dirección al ruido y la conmoción.
Probablemente tenía los brazos extendidos al gritarle al hijo de David.
Los que lo conocían se sentían azorados de sus gritos. Trataron de hacerle callar y que se volviera a
sentar al borde del camino. Sus acciones decían mucho: “Bartimeo, tú no eres digno de Jesús”. Pero sí
estaba bien que ellos y otras personas “con vista” siguieran a Jesús. En las lecturas de hoy, aprendemos
que la verdadera ceguera no es una condición de los ojos sino del corazón.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En varias ocasiones, Jesús le declara al recién sanado: “tu fe te ha salvado” (Marcos 10:52).
Todos los cristianos deseamos ser salvados. Y, ¿qué es la salvación? La palabra “salvación”
viene del latín salus que también significa “salud”. La salvación es el bienestar en todas sus
formas. Es el estar bien con Dios, con las demás personas, con la creación y consigo mismo. Los
hebreos le llaman shalom y los árabes llaman salam que quiere decir: “paz y bien”. Por siglos y
hasta el presente, el saludo de los pueblos semitas es: “La paz sea contigo”. Se responde “Y
también contigo”.
Según Jesús este shalom, salam, salus, salvación, paz y bien se consigue por medio de la fe.
Hay que tener un deseo profundo de tenerlo, para así pedirlo: “Jesús, Hijo de David, ten piedad
de mí” (Marcos 10:47). La salvación no llega a quienes la esperan sentados en una iglesia, más
bien, llega a los que se mueven y obran por ella.

Dear Fellow Parishioners:
We recite the words of our Creed every Sunday, "I believe
in the Resurrection of the body and life everlasting". These
words can become routine until someone belongs to us dies. A
Christian funeral helps us to express our emotions. It is a time of
faith and a time of prayer.
During the month of November (The month of The Holy Souls), we remember our beloved
dead in a less emotional manner but still with deep love and faith. I had an Aunt Nora who always
requested masses for those who had no one to pray for them. Christ's ministry was to all God's
people, everyone matters to God. This message of hope is part of our belief in purgatory . . . . on
the cross Christ reached out to the condemned thief and to the soldiers.
It is one of the sacred duties of a Christian to pray for the dead (2 Maccabees 12:38-46).
Please take the time to write the names of your deceased relatives and friends on the enclosed
envelope, an offering is not necessary. You may place your family envelope in the collection
basket at Mass, or drop them off to the parish office. Masses will be offered for The Holy Souls in
November and throughout the year.
On the weekend of October 31st & November 1st, we will have a special offertory
procession, where a white carnation is brought to the altar for a loved one who died during this
past year. Let the parish office know if you lost an immediate family member this year; a parent,
grandparent, child, grandchild, spouse, brother or sister. Also, let us know what Mass you will be
attending to place that flower before the altar. The parish office number is 530-889-2254.
