To him who loves us and has freed us by his blood

be glory and power forever.

— Revelation 1:5-6

TRUE STEWARDSHIP

The gospel message proclaimed throughout the New Testament invites us to live in harmony with the world. This is a challenge to care for the world and be stewards of all that God has given us. Like generations before us, we are entrusted with the care of the earth so that generations to follow may enjoy the same gifts. Sometimes, however, we are absorbed into the ways of the world. When we are of the world, we rely heavily on the power of wealth, beauty, fame, and accumulation of material possessions. We want earthly possessions and carelessly turn our hearts from the responsibilities of stewardship and conservation.

The readings today challenge us to walk away from the world so that we might inherit our share of God’s kingdom. How we live our lives directly reflects our love for God.

Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good, his mercy endures forever. -Psalms 118:1

ROSARY/DIVINE MERCY

Born c.282 in Alexandria she was martyred aged 18. The Governor Maximinus failed to convince her to offer up sacrifices to the Pagan Gods so he suggested that she

marry him. Saint Catherine rejected his offer and was sentenced to death. She was mutilated on a cogged wheel and then beheaded c.305 AD. She is worshipped on Mount Sinai.

OH, BROTHER! Belly Laughs for Good-Humored Catholics by Brother Loughlan Sofield, ST published by ACTA Publications

Thank you to C.B. for helping us decorate the Parish Office with your lovely holiday décor! It’s very festive and inviting! Thanksgiving time is in the air! Feel free to stop by the Parish Office to say hello!

A Special Thank You

A woman invited some friends to dinner. At the table, she turned to their six-year-old daughter and said, “Little

Janie, would you like to say the blessing?”

“I don't know what to say,” Little Janie protested. “Just say what you hear Mommy say,” her mother

answered, encouragingly.

Obediently, Little Janie bowed her head and prayed, “Lord, why on earth did I invite all these people to

dinner?”

For good reason, Americans have been ambivalent about “kings” for many years, even long before George III’s troops were sent packing in 1776. To say Christ is our King is to make a statement not about our politics, but about the dignity of our own identity. At our baptism, the crown of our head was once slathered (or at last dabbed) with oil while the Church prayed “as Christ was anointed priest, prophet and king, so may you live always as his body.” To celebrate Christ’s kingship, then, is to claim our own identity. Your head was anointed just as Samuel poured oil over David’s head. David had his gifts, but he was no prize, and perhaps that might comfort you as you think about your call, out of the messiness of your own life, to stretch into a lifestyle that is marked by worship, by prophetic speech and deeds, and the kingly ability to fashion a world (or at least a patch of it) where relationships are marked by justice, mercy, and cultivation of the good. It is precisely because of this kingly role that our faith community has something to say about the environment, about the dignity of human life, just wages, access to health care and education, the building of peace, and avoidance of war. In a few weeks’ time we will hymn the coming of the “newborn king,” but today we sketch out the meaning of his reign, and our own incorporation into his work for the life of the world. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
