XXXIII DOMINGO ORDINARIO 18 NOVIEMBRE 2018 LAS LECTURAS DE HOY Los cielos proclaman la gloria de Dios y la creación canta de alegría Las primeras líneas de esta sesión hablan de los alegres y exuberantes signos de la gloria de Dios que se muestran en la naturaleza. Proporcionan un fuerte contraste con las líneas primeras del pasaje del evangelio. A veces llamadas el Apocalipsis Menor, estas palabras de Jesús pintan una imagen muy distinta de los días por venir. Incluyen imágenes aterrorizantes y misteriosas sobre estrellas cayendo del cielo, y el sol y la luna que ya no dan a la tierra ni luz ni calor. La literatura apocalíptica está llena de imágenes. Normalmente escrita para una gente que está pasando o ha pasado por momentos de persecución, el mensaje tiene la intención de dar esperanza animando a los creyentes a confiar en el poder y fuerza de Dios. Así es en el Evangelio de Marcos. El escritor trata de calmar los temores de los seguidores de Jesús que experimentan persecución por sus creencias y prácticas. A los lectores contemporáneos, estas palabras les pueden resultar muy lejanas al consuelo. En unos tiempos de acceso instantáneo a eventos globales, tales imágenes pueden parecer también algo mundanas. Después de todo, podemos normalmente elegir las noticias de guerra, terremotos, accidentes de auto, y fuegos. La Televisión usa programas calamidades desastres naturales y crímenes urbanos para entretenernos. Vivimos en una época en la que no solo podríamos fácilmente mal interpretar los signos de la Segunda Venida, sino que posiblemente estemos aturdidos por su magnitud y nos sentimos como hipnotizados frente al televisor. Interpuesto en el medio del Evangelio de Marcos hay una referencia suave y hogareña a una higuera que está pasando por su ciclo anual de crecimiento. La atención a los signos alrededor de nosotros que son inmediatos y ordinarios nos pueden dar las mayores luces sobre lo que se nos presenta ante nosotros. La voz del profeta constantemente nos advierte que miremos más allá de lo que está justo enfrente a nosotros. En nuestra era saturada de medios de comunicación, podría ser un desafío mayor que nunca el ver los signos de que Cristo viene de nuevo y con novedad, para traer paz y para sacudir cielo y tierra. Como cristianos, nuestras vidas están enraizadas en la esperanza de días mejores por venir. La atención se mezcla con anticipación del día, desconocido para todos menos para el Padre, cuando el reino de Dios se realice plenamente en medio de nosotros. No podemos ni empezar a imaginárnoslo. Podemos, sin embargo, tratar de estar alerta y consientes, basados en la fe que, no importa las tribulaciones que nos vengan, siempre hay días mejores en el futuro. Entonces nos uniremos a toda la creación cantando de alegría. MEMORIAL DE LIBRO PARA LOS AMADOS SALIDOS Para recordar a sus seres queridos que han fallecido el año pasado y los años anteriores, cada una de las parroquias de la comunidad de Corpus Christi tiene un Libro conmemorativo establecido en la iglesia para que ingrese los nombres de sus seres queridos que han partido. El memorial se mantendrá durante todo el mes de noviembre.

CORPUS CHRISTI CATHOLIC COMMUNITY A MESSAGE FROM FATHER LARRY Dear sisters and brothers in Christ, A blast of arctic air has provided us with an undeniable reminder that the seasons are changing. (Personally, I much prefer this to a significant accumulation of snow before mid- November.) The grass is still green. The roads are easily passable and the trees, though deprived of their late and briefly colored leaves are all still there. The essentials remain the same but the circumstances are somewhat altered a gentle transition, nature s nudge as we fumble for scarves and gloves. Leisurely conversations with friends which might otherwise have taken place in the parking lot or along the sidewalks are rushed at the doors of the church and completed later by phone or, now, by e-mail or text message. Long walks on city streets and country lanes require different attire and may prompt a different pace. The lighter fare of summer salads yields to hearty soups and root vegetables. The tomatoes and zucchini which were present in perhaps too great an abundance just a few weeks ago are locked in Ball jars and await a special occasion to add luster to the winter meal with friends in the long evenings that are the hallmark of the season. Governor Wilbur Cross 1936 Thanksgiving proclamation reminds us : Time out of mind at this turn of the seasons when the hardy oak leaves rustle in the wind and the frost gives a tang to the air and the dusk falls early and the friendly evenings lengthen under the heel of Orion, it has seemed good to our people to join together in praising the Creator and Preserver, who has brought us by a way that we did not know to the end of another year. While malicious persons, with foul words and deeds, tear at the fragile fabric of peace between people and among nations, the poet reminds us that there remains the dearest freshness deep down things, and so, strengthened by our faith and holding a firm resolution to be messengers of peace and solidarity, we will gather with loved ones to remember and to rejoice, to light candles against the encroaching darkness, confident that He who is the Light of the world will have the last word. He will bring Wisdom, whose ways, according to scripture, are ways of pleasantness, and all her paths are peace. The seasons change. Perhaps this old world can too. Let us be one with our brothers and sisters, friends and neighbors, regardless of their faith, all men, women and children of good will, this Sunday at 1:30 PM in the Saint Joseph Church Hall for the Annual Community Thanksgiving Service and, if we are able, for the W.A.I.M. Walk For Warmth that will follow at 2 PM and for the fellowship that will follow. Remembering the story of the Good Samaritan, when Jesus asks us who is neighbor to the one who fell among thieves, let each of us answer confidently and without hesitation, I am! So many of you answer Here I am to the call for volunteers for the many ministries of these three parishes which form the Corpus Christi Catholic Community that my heart and, I know, the hearts of countless others, who benefit from your generous spirit, are brimming over with gratitude. Thankfully yours in Christ, Fr. Larry UN MENSAJE DEL PADRE LARRY Queridas hermanas y hermanos en Cristo, Una explosión de aire ártico nos ha proporcionado un innegable recordatorio de que las estaciones están cambiando. (Personalmente, prefiero esto a una acumulación significativa de nieve antes de mediados de noviembre). La hierba todavía está verde. Los caminos son fácilmente transitables y los árboles, aunque privados de sus hojas tardías y de color breve, todavía están allí. Lo esencial sigue siendo el mismo, pero las circunstancias están algo alteradas... una transición suave, un empujón de la naturaleza mientras buscamos bufandas y guantes. Las conversaciones relajadas con amigos que de otro modo podrían haber tenido lugar en el estacionamiento o en las aceras se apresuran a las puertas de la iglesia y se completan más tarde por teléfono o, ahora, por correo electrónico o mensaje de texto. Los largos paseos por las calles de la ciudad y los caminos rurales requieren un atuendo diferente y pueden generar un ritmo diferente. La comida más ligera de las ensaladas de verano se traduce en sopas abundantes y verduras de raíz. Los tomates y el calabacín que estuvieron presentes en una abundancia tal vez demasiado grande hace unas pocas semanas están encerrados en frascos Ball y esperan una ocasión especial para agregar brillo a la comida de invierno con amigos en las largas noches que son el sello distintivo de la temporada. La proclamación del Día de Acción de Gracias de 1936 del gobernador Wilbur Cross nos recuerda: En este giro de las estaciones, el tiempo no viene a la mente cuando las robustas hojas de roble crujen con el viento y la escarcha da un toque al aire y el atardecer cae temprano y las tardes amistosas se alargan debajo Al talón de Orión, a nuestro pueblo le ha parecido bueno unirse para alabar al Creador y Conservador, que nos ha traído de una manera que no conocíamos hasta el final de otro año ". Mientras que las personas maliciosas, con malas palabras y hechos, desgarran el frágil tejido de la paz entre las personas y entre las naciones, el poeta nos recuerda que sigue siendo "la frescura más querida en lo profundo", y así, fortalecida por nuestra fe y firmes. Para ser mensajeros de paz y solidaridad, nos reuniremos con nuestros seres queridos para recordar y regocijarnos, para encender velas contra la oscuridad que nos invade, confiados en que El que es la Luz del mundo tendrá la última palabra. Traerá Sabiduría, cuyos caminos, de acuerdo con las Escrituras, "son formas de placer, y todos sus caminos son paz". Las estaciones cambian. Quizás este viejo mundo también pueda. Seamos uno con nuestros hermanos y hermanas, amigos y vecinos, sin importar su fe, todos los hombres, mujeres y niños de buena voluntad, este domingo a la 1:30 PM en el Salón de la Iglesia de San José para el Servicio Anual de Acción de Gracias de la Comunidad y, Si somos capaces, por la WAIM. Camina por el calor que seguirá a las 2 PM y por la beca que seguirá. Recordando la historia del Buen Samaritano, cuando Jesús nos pregunta quién es el prójimo del que cayó entre los ladrones, permítanos responder con confianza y sin dudar: Yo soy!. Muchos de ustedes responden Aquí estoy al pida voluntarios para los muchos ministerios de estas tres parroquias que forman la comunidad católica de Corpus Christi que mi corazón y, lo sé, los corazones de muchos otros, que se benefician de su espíritu generoso, están llenos de gratitud. Agradecidamente suyo en Cristo, P. Larry 10
