4 PRAYER AND REFLECTION Prayers for the 33 rd Sunday in Ordinary Time November 13, 2016 Holy Family Religious Education Grade 1-8 Immaculate Conception November 20th, 2016 School Cafeteria 10:00 AM-12:00 Noon Today s readings touch again on the future, focusing on the end of time. People have always been fascinated and frightened by dramatic signs and warnings of what is to come. And the signs always seem to be occurring right now. In fact, the warnings are communicated in highly symbolic language. They don t really tell us when Christ will appear for us. But they keep us on our toes, so that we may live in readiness for whenever and however he comes. For the baptized and all who believe in a loving God: that we live our convictions each day we pray, For those who spread fear instead of hope and courage, and for all who live in fear we pray, For those who stay focused on the care of others: for first responders, those in helping professions, loving families and friends we pray, Student s and their families may participate in making Christmas Wreath s November 20th Cost is: $12.00 Time: 11:00 12:00 Noon Immacualte Conception School For all whose work involves planning for a future that serves the human race we pray, For calm in our national election and for elected leaders who will work for care of the most needy we pray, For a renewed confidence in the power of institutions to benefit the needs of all citizens we pray, For those among us who are suffering in any way, and for our efforts to serve them we pray, For those who have died, for their families and friends, and for those who minister to the grieving we pray, Meeting to be held next Sunday November 20th immediatley following the 10:00 AM Mass. PRAYER: God who loves and protects all that is, we pray for hope and perseverance in uncertain times. Let our trust in you keep us calm, unafraid, and focused on being the face of Jesus in the world. We pray in the name of him whose presence we watch for each and every day. Amen.

5 33* DOMINGO DO TEMPO COMUM Malaquias 3,19-20a Sl 98 Tessalonicenses 3,7-12 Evangelho Lucas 21,5-19 Façamos a hora, não esperemos acontecer! O fim do mundo! Não podemos descobrir no nosso tempo todos estes sinais do fim do mundo tal como Jesus os dá? Há de erguer-se reino contra reino. Haverá grandes terremotos e, em diversos lugares, fomes e epidemias. Dizemos hoje, epidemias como a Aids, a gripe das aves Muita coisa pode servir para manipular o medo e a angústia de muitas pessoas. Mesmo no cristianismo vemos surgir regularmente abusos de várias espécies. O regresso do religioso toma muitas vezes a forma de uma procura de sinais milagrosos, de predições sobre tudo e sobre nada. Há mais magos, adivinhos, cartomantes, astrólogos e gurus de toda a espécie, do que padres. Quem nunca leu um horóscopo? Enfim, o esoterismo está na moda. E, para tranquilizar a consciência, até nos apoiamos nas palavras de Jesus. Mas Jesus adverte-nos: Tende cuidado; não vos deixeis enganar, pois muitos virão em meu nome e dirão: sou eu'; e ainda: O tempo está próximo. Não os sigais. Em São Mateus, precisa mesmo: surgirão falsos Cristos e falsos profetas, que produzirão grandes sinais e prodígios, a ponto de abusar, mesmo os eleitos. São Paulo diz mesmo que Satanás se disfarça em anjo de luz. Então, nós também, hoje, somos convidados a resistir a estas tentações de esoterismo. O nosso futuro não está inscrito nem nos astros, nem nas cartas, nem na borra do café, nem nas linhas da mão. O nosso futuro está em Jesus. Queremos sinais? Só temos um: a morte e a ressurreição de Jesus, que nos são dadas em cada Eucaristia e que são a prova última e definitiva do amor de Deus por nós. É verdade que este sinal só se pode reconhecer na fé e o próprio Jesus se questionou: O Filho do Homem, quando vier, encontrará a fé sobre a terra? Desde então, a nossa primeira preocupação deve ser vivificar a nossa fé, reencontrar uma intimidade com Jesus: Jesus, eu creio, mas aumenta a minha fé! Então, não teremos mais medo. Preparemos nosso coração para a Festa de Cristo Rei do Universo, próximo Domingo. Participemos da Santa Missa e percebamos a imensa Misericórdia que o Senhor tem por nós.

6 A Thanksgiving Prayer #1 O, God, when I have food, help me to remember the hungry; When I have work, help me to remember the jobless; When I have a warm home, help me to remember the homeless; When I am without pain, help me to remember those who suffer; And remembering, help me to destroy my complacency and bestir my compassion. Make me concerned enough to help, by word and deed, those who cry out for what we take for granted.
