do-it-yourself process that takes a few minutes each

day. It begins today, Sunday, November 5, and culminates

33 days later in the Consecration to Jesus through Mary on December 8, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception.

✿✦ ✫✣✬✥✧✪✜ Old Testament reading, the Lord ❀ through

the prophet Malachi ❀ addresses some of the evils of the day, offering a warning to the priests to listen to Him and give glory to His name.

The Book of Malachi is the final book of the Old Testa-ment. The author probably wished to conceal his identity and so made a proper name out of the Hebrew expression for My

Messenger.

In the New Testament reading, we find Saint Paul

sending a kind, encouraging message to the Church in Thessalonica. Although Paul was a brilliant apostle, he did not try to influence people by throwing his weight around. He guided the Christian communities with gentleness and

fatherly love.

The Gospel contains a powerful condemnation of the

Pharisees for failing to live up to their own teachings. ❁❂✚✧❃✥❄✫★✤✛★✜❅ ✩★✤★ ❃★✥✫✚★✤ ✮✣❆★✜ ❄✣✦✫✥✛✦✛✦❇ ❈✥✤❄✚❉★✦✫

in Jesus, we will put great effort and care into following His example and living His message. Humility is our goal. True humility begins when I see myself as one among many wounded, searching souls who are striving to work out a place

in life and discover who God is and how God acts.

We are here today because we need to taste and feel the God who reveals Himself fully in the Eucharist ❀ the God who

is our strength, hope, and salvation. We are not here because we are better or wiser than anyone else, for we are simply humble sinners in need of mercy.

Stewardship involves spending time with God. Recognizing that every day is a gift from God, we strive to spend some of each day with God, through prayer, Mass, Eucharistic Adora-tion, scripture reading, meditation, and other spiritual activities. During this time we ask God how He wants us to use the gifts He has given to us, the gifts of time, talent, and treasure.
