A COMPASSIONATE GOD

Today’s reading from the book of Wisdom presents an image of a patient God who “rebuke[s] offenders little by little” (Wisdom 12:2), an image endorsed by the psalmist, singing of how the L is “slow to anger and of great kindness, and compassionate toward all his works” (Psalm 145:8, 9). The crowd with Jesus, however, grumbles when they see Jesus’s kindness and compassion extended to Zacchaeus, who was not just a tax collector, but the “chief tax collector”—a title that surely emphasizes his standing as a sinner to be scorned. In the second reading, Saint Paul urges the Thessalonians to be “worthy” of God’s calling, so that “the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you” (2 Thessalonians 1:12); such people, unlike the crowd in the Gospel, would rejoice at Zacchaeus’s determination to change his life after encountering Jesus.

PRAYER OF THE WEEK

Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time Almighty and merciful God, by whose gift your faithful offer you right and praiseworthy service, grant, we pray, that we may hasten without stumbling to receive the things you have promised. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, for ever and ever.

SPIRITUAL MOTHERHOOD FOR PRIESTS

SVdP CHRISTMAS ANGEL TREE

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, The Incarnation St. Vincent de Paul Society will be sponsoring their annual Christmas Angel Tree Drive to assist those who will need a helping hand this year. We will start with our parishioners-in-need first to give their children a memorable Christmas. And then we can expand to a local children’s facility, depending on the response. Because this parish’s response has been so generous throug h these challenging times, we may also be able to include helping the elderly who are struggling on fixed incomes. Therefore, we will provide an angel-laced Christmas tree filled with these various requests starting the weekend of November 19th. In order to make this a success, we must first be informed of those parishioners in need . Please call the parish office at 813885-7861 and leave a message with your name and phone number. We will call you back to get specific information on children’s gender, age, needs, etc. to place on the angels. Please leave a message starting immediately through November 18th Please bring your unwrapped gift with the angel taped to it by December 10th ,drop them in the box provided in the church foyer. Thank you for your kindness and generosity we look forward to helping our parish put smiles on children’s faces Christmas morning!

UN DIOS COMPASIVO

La lectura de hoy del libro de la Sabiduría presenta la imagen de un Dios paciente que “reprende a los delincuentes poco a poco” (Sabiduría 12:2), una imagen apoyada por el salmista, cantando cómo el Señor es “lento para enojarse y generoso para perdonar, a todas sus obras se extiende su ternura” (Salmo 145: 8, 9). Sin embargo, la multitud que acompaña se queja cuando ven la bondad y compasión de Jesús dirigida a Zaqueo, quien no sólo era un recaudador de impuestos, sino el “jefe de los recaudadores”, un trabajo que seguramente enfatiza su condición de pecador que hay que despreciar. En la segunda lectura, san Pablo exhorta a los tesalonicenses a ser “dignos” de la llamada de Dios, para que “el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesús sea glorificado en ustedes” (2 Tesalonicenses 1:12); esas personas, a diferencia de la multitud del Evangelio, se alegrarían de que Zaqueo tomó la decisión de cambiar su vida después del encuentro con Jesús.

LECTURAS DE HOY

Primera lectura — Señor, tú amas todo cuanto existe (Sabiduría 11:22 — 12:2). Salmo — Bendeciré tu nombre por siempre, Dios mío, mi rey (Salmo 145 [144]).

Segunda lectura — Oramos siempre por ustedes para que el nombre de nuestro Señor Jesucristo se glorifique en ustedes y ustedes en él (2 Tesalonicenses 1:11 — 2:2).

Evangelio — Zaqueo, cobrador de impuestos, considerado socialmente como pecador, se convierte al Señor (Lucas 19:1-10).
