A Note from Fr. Nonito
As we are about to end the church liturgical calendar, we are reminded of the coming again of Jesus, the Son of Man, at the end of time. However, we simply do not know whether this great day is close at hand or still in the distant future. As Jesus says in our gospel this Sunday, "As for that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Mk. 13:32) And so instead of wasting away our precious time speculating when will this be, Jesus exhorts us to hold on to our faith and to live as Christians in the present. What matters is now. Then, when the time comes, we will be ready to meet him.
A priest was once playing lawn tennis with a friend. During the break, their talk shifted to a more serious thing with his friend asking, "Father, suppose the end of time suddenly came and we were out there playing, what would you do? Get down on your knees and pray? The priest was silent for a moment and said, "I'd go right on playing." What he is trying to say is that we should not worry about the end of time. But worry about whether or not we are holding on to our faith and living as a Christian should.
Definitely, Jesus will come again to judge the living and the dead. Our judgement will depend on our good works as the parable of the Last Judgment tells us. The judge will say, "Come.....inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink." (Mt. 25:34-36) Everything we do now has eternal consequences. Judgment will be nothing else but God's confirmation of the choices, decisions or actions we have made in life. What we sow now, we reap later.
The Mass – A slice at a time
The Biblical Readings
In the readings, the table of God’s Word is spread before the faithful, and the treasures of the Bible are opened to them. Hence, it is preferable that the arrangement of the Biblical readings be maintained, for by them the unity of both Testaments and of salvation history is brought out. Nor is it lawful to replace the readings and Responsorial Psalm, which contain the Word of God, with other, non-biblical texts. In the celebration of the Mass with the people, the readings are always read from the ambo.
Faith Formation Just a reminder NO class next Wednesday November 21st. Next class will meet November 28th. Have a Blessed and Happy Thanksgiving!. A look ahead to December – we will be celebrating Reconciliation December 5th beginning at 5:30pm. There will be no Mass or Potluck that night. After Reconciliation the children will be making Advent Prayer chains to count down to Christmas.

WHAT IS THE WORLD DAY OF THE POOR?
In his apostolic letter to close the Year of Mercy, Pope Francis suggested the Catholic Church set aside one day each year when communities can “reflect on how poverty is at the very heart of the Gospel.” He designated this day as the “World Day of the Poor.” It will be celebrated on the thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary time (two Sundays before the season of Advent each year.) The second World Day of the Poor is Sunday, November 18, 2018.
“It would be a day to help communities and each of the baptized to reflect on how poverty is at the very heart of the Gospel and that, as long as Lazarus lies at the door of our homes (cf. Lk 16:19-21), there can be no justice or social peace. This Day will also represent a genuine form of new evangelization (cf. Mt 11:5) which can renew the face of the Church as She perseveres in her perennial activity of pastoral conversion and witness to mercy.”
