WINE: Women in the New Evangelization and the West Texas

WINE Team invite you to the WINE: Catholic Women's Conference on Saturday, November 6th, at The

Way Retreat Center in Midland, Texas.

This fantastic conference features two unique opportunities! First, a "Gathering in

the Vineyard Concert" (open to families and friends) on Friday, November 5th (7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.) with music by Marie Miller. Second, ladies have the opportunity to stay with friends Friday night in a lovely casita and enjoy a fun "Taste of WINE" (and cheese… and

chocolate) with Marie Miller, the WINE speakers, and national WINE core teams!

On Saturday, the conference theme, "Called by Name," speaks to the fact that

our Lord has called each of us by name into a deep and intimate relationship with

Him. The conference, with emcee Jazzmin Espinoza, includes inspirational

talks by Catholic author and WINE foundress Kelly Wahlquist; Catholic

teacher, author, and radio host on Radio Maria, Alyssa Bormes; Catholic speaker,

author, and WINE Steward Allison Gingras; and recording artist and singer-

songwriter Marie Miller.

The day begins with Mass at 8 a.m. followed by praise & worship music;

inspirational talks; motivational entertainment; opportunities for

confession, adoration, shopping, and prayer teams; tons of laughter; a

fabulous lunch; CHOCOLATE; door prizes, and a fun raffle at the 3:00

p.m. conclusion!

Invite a friend or three and register today! For more information on various ticket options and prices and to register, visit

THIRTIETH SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME OCTOBER 24, 2021 • MARK 10: 46-52

SCOTT W. HAHN, PHD.

Today’s Gospel turns on an irony—it is a blind man, Bartimaeus, who becomes the first person outside of the Apostles to recognize Jesus as the Messiah. And his healing is the last miracle Jesus performs before entering the holy city of Jerusalem for His last week on earth. The scene on the road to Jerusalem evokes the joyful procession prophesied by Jeremiah in today’s First Reading. In Jesus this prophecy is fulfilled. God, through the Messiah, is delivering His people from exile, bringing them back from the ends of the earth, with the blind and lame in their midst. Jesus, as Bartimaeus proclaims, is the long-awaited Son promised to David (see 2 Samuel 7:12–16; Isaiah 11:9; Jeremiah 23:5). Upon His triumphal arrival in Jerusalem, all will see that the everlasting kingdom of David has come (see Mark 11:9–10). As we hear in today’s Epistle, the Son of David was expected to be the Son of God (see Psalm 2:7). He was to be a priest-king like Melchizedek (see Psalm 110:4), who offered bread and wine to God Most High at the dawn of salvation history (see Genesis 14:18–20). Bartimaeus is a symbol of his people, the captive Zion of whom we sing in today’s Psalm. His God has done great things for him. All his life has been sown in tears and weeping. Now, he reaps a new life. Bartimaeus, too, should be a sign for us. How often Christ passes us by—in the person of the poor, in the distressing guise of a troublesome family member or burdensome associate (see Matthew 25:31–46)—and yet we don’t see Him. Christ still calls to us through His Church, as Jesus sent His Apostles to call Bartimaeus. Yet how often are we found to be listening instead to the voices of the crowd, not hearing the words of His Church. Today He asks us what He asks Bartimaeus: “What do you want me to do for you?” Rejoicing, let us ask the same thing of Him—what can we do for all that He has done for us? Puede haber momentos complicados en que Cristo pasa cerca de nosotros sin que le podamos ver con claridad. Así sucede en la vida de todo hombre que siente de alguna u otra forma esta presencia; no hay claridad, pero siempre hay una inquietud, una sensación. Es aquí donde Dios nos da la oportunidad para buscarle por encima de nuestra ceguera, por encima de nuestra debilidad. Podremos encontrar a los ciegos que, por nunca haber visto con la luz de la fe, tienen la oportunidad de pedir a gritos que se les dé el don de la vista. O también habrán personas mudas que lo único que podrán hacer es caminar y alcanzar a Cristo; poniéndose de rodillas pedirán con señas la gracia de poder hablar. Hay tantas debilidades personales que cargamos, y que posiblemente cargaremos por toda nuestra vida. En algunos será la ceguera del egoísmo, otros serán inválidos por su ira, su pereza o su soberbia. Ésta es la cruz personal que se nos ha sido dada para que en ella demostremos, con nuestra abnegación, que queremos encontrar la salud. Todos podemos sentir la presencia de Dios, todos tenemos alguna necesidad en particular. Pero lo más importante es saber que tenemos la capacidad de dirigirnos a Dios, ya sea con palabras, gestos, o caminando detrás de Él. Tenemos la capacidad de pedirle que intervenga en nuestra vida y esperar la salud de su mano al escuchar con gran gozo: Tu fe te ha salvado.

Weekly Insight . . .

DO YOU HAVE FAITH IN GOD?

How do you know if you have faith in God?

Hebrews 11:1- “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.” To have faith in in God's promises is not based on what you see, but on the fact/evidence that you believe God although you do not see the answer hoped for with your natural eyes yet.

Can I have faith in God everything will be, OK?

“Trust God, everything will be fine. But in times when we don't have the best plans to manage the situation, the perfect thing we can do is trust God. Even in times when we think we have it all together, we should trust God. Even when things seem to fall apart Trust God.

5 Things to remember regarding Faith:

1. Lean on God when you are tired through prayer. 2. God has anointed and chosen us for a purpose. 3. Do not give up on God no matter the situation. 4. Faith in God is necessary for healing and blessing. 5. Remember to be patient and wait on God’s time.

Remember, it is not too late to begin again. SO, WAKE UP!!!

Evaluación de la semana…

TIENES FE N DIOS?

Como sabes si tienes fe en Dios?

Hebreos 11:1- “Ahora la fe es la sustancia de las cosas que se esperan, la evidencia de las cosas que no se ven” Tener fe en las promesas de Dios, no es basarse en lo que vez, sino en el hecho/evidencia que crees en Dios, aúnque todabia no vez la respuesta esperada con tu ojo natural.

Puedo tener fe en Dios de que todo estará bien?

“Confia en Dios, todo estará bien. En ocasiones cuando no tenemos los mejores planes para manejar la situación, lo mejor que podemos hacer es confiar en Dios. Hasta en ocasiones en que pensamos que todo está en orden, debemos confiar en Dios y más aún cuando las cosas se nos salen de control, confia en Dios.

5 Cosas que debemos recordar de acuerdo a la Fe:

1. Apóyate en Dios cuando estés cansado atravéz de la oración.

2. Dios nos ha ungido y elegido con un propósito. 3. No te rindas ante Dios, no importa la situación. 4. La Fe en Dios es necesaria para sanar y bendecir. 5. Recuerda ser paciente y espera los tiempos de Dios.

Recuerda, no es muy tarde para volver a empezar optra vez.

Así que DESPIERTA!!!
