The month of November is that special time in which we focus on the souls of our departed loved ones with prayerful intention. Please return your All Souls envelopes to the office or by placing them in the offertory basket including the names of your deceased family members and friends you wish to be prayed for during the month of November. They will be placed in the "Vessel of Remembrance" to be located in the sanctuary to the right of the celebrant's chair; there to be embraced in prayer and memory at each Mass. All Souls envelopes can be found in the pews & church foyer.

Thirty-second Sunday in Ordinary Time November 6, 2011
Stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour. — Matthew 25:13 EXPECTING THE UNEXPECTED If it ever crossed your mind that Jesus was somewhat lacking in a sense of humor, today’s Gospel should belie any such notion. Jesus’ story of the five wise and five foolish bridesmaids is downright hilarious. The circumstances of the story were surely familiar to Jesus’ listeners, just as they are—if we think about it—to us. Weddings never, never start on time. There’s always a delay. Buttons pop off at the last minute. Flowers wilt. Cars full of wedding guests get caught in traffic. Soloists contract laryngitis. Brides or grooms or priests show up late! So the only reasonable way to approach a wedding is with a sense of humor, to realize that something probably will go awry, and, when that happens, to smile about it. Jesus tells this funny story to encourage us to be watchful, yes; to be ready, yes. But he doesn’t tell it to make us dour and somber. The heavy-hearted tremble, waver, lose sight of their place and purpose, and fall asleep. The lighthearted know that the unexpected will happen—is bound to happen—so they are awake in their place and ready in their purpose when it comes.© Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

FESTIVAL DE MANUALIDADES Y ARTE DE INCARNATION
domingo, noviembre 13 8:00AM - 3:30PM
Panorámica de la liturgia de este mes
N
oviembre marca el final del año litúrgico . En estas semanas se hace una especie de curso acelerado sobre el mensaje evangélico y todas las enseñanzas de Jesús. También se va mirando a los tiempos finales, la esperanza de la nueva venida y cómo tendremos que estar atentos a ella. Las parábolas de las lecturas de estos domingos animan a una atención cuidadosa a lo que Dios quiere de nosotros. Estar preparados, estar atentos a las necesidades de los demás y vivir, no en el terror del final de los tiempo, sino en alegre esperanza de la venida de Cristo con su salvación. Esto se nos da a conocer con especial fuerza en la festividad de Cristo Rey, en que se nos abre una visión de lo que es el Reino de Dios; justicia, misericordia y paz. Este mismo tema está presente en todas las fiestas de este mes, comenzado por Todos lo Santos y Todos los Difuntos. Es decir, se celebra a todos los miembros de la Iglesia, la de la tierra, llamada a la santidad, y la del cielo que ya goza directamente de Dios para su reino. Es una celebración de la voluntad de Dios para su reino. En este mes se celebra también el Día de Acción de Gracias, que invita a reflexionar sobre la identidad y cultura que compartimos. El centro de la celebración es el reconocimiento de que todo lo que se tiene es regalo de Dios. Es también una invitación a reconocer al inmigrante como hermano y amigo, como los nativos que acogieron con generosidad a los peregrinos. En este mes se celebran las fiestas de Nuestra Señora de la Providencia, Patrona de Puerto Rico, Nuestra Señora del Quinché, Patrona de Ecuador, Nuestra Señora de la Medalla Milagrosa y Nuestra Señora de los Treinta y Tres, Patrona de Uruguay. ©Nuestra Parroquia 2011
Para información y reservar un espacio, por favor llame a Connie Hennessey al 813-884-8326 lo antes posible.

Pg 9

NUESTRA CULTURA Hoy día seguimos teniendo un cortejo de amigas que ayudan a la novia en todos los detalles de la ceremonia. Son como las jóvenes de la parábola, que tienen que estar atentas a las necesidades de la novia. Un pensamiento: "En realidad, todas las cosas, todos los acontecimientos, para quien sabe leerlos con profundidad, encierran un mensaje que, en definitiva, remite a Dios." Juan Pablo II
ESTAR PREPARADOS No debemos ser sanguíneos sobre nada; la mejor regla es no esperar nada, no temer nada, no tener ninguna expectativa, para estar preparado para todo. —Cardenal John Henry Newman
Pg 10
ESPERAR LO INESPERADO Si alguna vez se te pasó por la mente que a Jesús le faltaba un poco del sentido del humor, el Evangelio de hoy destierra esa noción. La parábola de Jesús sobre las cinco jóvenes precavidas y las cinco jóvenes descuidadas es sumamente chistosa. Las circunstancias de la parábola sin duda resultaban familiares a los que escuchaban a Jesús, como lo son para nosotros. Las bodas nunca, nunca comienzan a la hora. Siempre hay un retraso. Botones que se caen al último minuto. Flores que se marchitan. Vehículos llenos de invitados atascados en el tráfico. Solistas que contraen laringitis. ¡Novias, novios o sacerdotes que llegan tarde! Así que la única manera razonable de encarar una boda es con buen sentido del humor, conscientes de que algo va a salir mal, y, cuando eso suceda, sonreír. Jesús cuenta esta historia chistosa para alentarnos a que seamos vigilantes, sí; a estar preparados, sí. Pero no nos la cuenta para que nos amarguemos y nos ensombrezcamos. Los apesadumbrados tiemblan, titubean, pierden de vista su lugar y propósito, y se quedan dormidos. Los festivos saben que sucederá lo inesperado –más que seguro —así que están despiertos en su puesto y listos para cumplir su propósito en el acto. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
Sabías que... El Sacramento de la Unción de los enfermos no es sólo para aquellos que están a punto de morir. Se considera también como tiempo oportuno para recibirlo cuando el fiel empieza a estar en peligro de muerte por enfermedad o vejez. Además, si un enfermo que recibió la unción recupera la salud, puede, en caso de enfermedad grave, recibir de nuevo el Sacramento.
