16 de noviembre de 2014 Esperando al Señor

Proverbios 31: 10-13, 19-20, 30-31 La sabiduría de la madre Judaica del postexilio, que es figura del sabio y soporte de la familia consiste en el tra-bajo que hace en bien de toda la familia. Ella procura la provision y trabaja continuamente con manos firmes desde el amanecer. El testimonio del esposo y los hijos así lo afirma. Es digna de recibir la retribución de sus actos y es fuente de vida y comunion para el pueblo. Es la figura central de la Casa de la Madre, donde el amor es chispa de vida. 1 Tesalonicenses 5: 1-6 La esperanza común es sostén en la vigilia y la espera de la venida del Señor. La capacidad de espera y vigilancia permite la tarea de la edificación personal. Se asegura la identidad cristiana como un estar en el Señor. La figura del día del Señor es bien conocida en el Antiguo Testa-mento. Mateo 25: 14-30 La parábola hace un contraste entre los servidores bue-nos y el perezoso. Los dos primeros duplican el capital. El tercero, por miedo a perderlo todo, entierra el dinero en un pozo. Cuando llega el momento de dar cuentas, los dos primeros reciben su recompense. Jesús denuncia la inconsecuencia de los que reciben el mensaje del Reino y luego pretenden refugiarse en lo seguro. El regreso del dueño representa la parusía: el ajuste de cuentas es imagen del juicio final. El que no hace fructificar los dones recibidos, aunque sea con la excusa de guardarlos seguros, al final termina por perderlo todo. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ MANIFICAT WOMEN’S BREAKFAST - COME ALONE OR BRING A FRIEND!

When the human heart is burdened and heavy with guilt, God’s desire is to give us a new heart through the grace of conversion. With the help of the Spirit, we are given the strength to seek and trust God’s merciful forgiveness so that we might have a fresh and new start in our relationship with Him.

2014 November Stewardship Through the liturgy “the work of our redemption takes place,” especially in the

divine sacrifice of the Eucharist, is supremely effective in enabling the faithful to express in their lives and portray to others the mystery of Christ and the real Nature of the true Church. ((SC. §2) ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

A Service of Remembrance The Holidays, perhaps especially Thanksgiving and Christmas, can be very difficult when we are in mourning, or when we are missing someone whom we have loved deeply who is no longer physically with us. To remember them and celebrate their lives, as well as to provide comfort at this time of the year, there will be An Evening Service of Remembrance held on November 18th at 7:00 p.m. at St. Clare Church. There will be music, a candle lighting ritual, readings, and some time for possible sharing. If you wish and are able, please bring some small memento or picture of those you wish to remember. If you have any questions, please e-mail Peggy Patrick: peggyandguy@gmail.com. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
