THIRTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

ENTREGA TOTAL
GIVING ALL
Trusting widows
play a significant role in
this weekend’s readings. At
the point of poverty, when
giving even the smallest
amount of what they had
could imperil their health
and well-being, they trusted
God and gave anyway.
What is important about
their giving is not what or how much they gave, but
how they gave it. Without selfishness, they gave to
help others. Their giving was from the heart, with little
hope or intention of receiving any sort of reward or
recognition for their generosity. The monetary values
of the widows’ gifts were small, but their value
measured in the Kingdom was priceless.
There is a significant similarity between their gift
and the gift Jesus gave each of us. The widows offered
their lives for God. Jesus offered his life for us.
Las viudas confiadas juegan un
importante papel en las lecturas de
esta semana. Aunque eran pobres y
el dar aún algo bien pequeño podría
poner en peligro su salud y
bienestar, confiaban en Dios y
daban lo que podían. Lo que es
importante sobre sus donativos no
es la cantidad que daban, sino que
daban algo. Sin egoísmo, daban para
ayudar a otros. Su dar salía del
corazón, con poca esperanza o intención de recibir
algún premio o reconocimiento por su generosidad. El
valor monetario de los dones de las viudas eran
pequeños, pero su valor en la medida del Reino era
inestimable.
Hay una gran semejanza entre su regalo y el regalo
que Jesús ha dado a cada uno de nosotros. Las viudas
ofrecieron sus vidas a Dios. Jesús ofreció su vida por
nosotros.
PARISH LIFE
DISCIPLESHIP OPPORTUNITY
Are you looking for some ways in which you can
be involved in our parish? Here is an exciting
opportunity that would help us further promote the
Gospel:
Sight and Sound Ministry Assistant
This ministry involves creating content for what is
displayed using our projection system. Stop up to
the choir loft and speak with one of our Sight &
Sound Ministers about the fun you can have with
the system while proclaiming the Gospel and
making our Parish even more welcoming.
High School students welcome!
3 GUYS NAMED “FRANK”
Don’t miss our message series
at each Mass this weekend and
next weekend. We will present
three guys named “Frank.”
Each saint used the gifts God
gave him to evangelize the
culture around them. We will
meet Francis de Sales, Francis
of Assisi and Francis Xavier.
In their own ways, they received the Good News of
Jesus and spread it into a world that often didn’t
want to hear it. Sound familiar??
