offered here at St. Columbkille. They occur in the rectory from 12:30 to 1:30PM each week until Holy Week.

On the third Wednesday of each month thereafter, the Young Adult Commission will sponsor Eucharistic Adoration at which confession will also be available. Each month’s Adoration will include prayers and intentions that correspond to a particular theme, many of which will be related to Catholic Social Teaching. November’s theme is vocations. No RSVP is required. YAC Book Discussion, Tuesdays Until Thanksgiving Join fellow young adults in their 20s and 30s as we read The Screwtape Letters, reflect on the moral life, commit ourselves to doing better and have a rollicking good time. C.S. Lewis's The Screwtape Letters is a much-beloved satiric masterpiece. The book is a very funny yet very serious meditation on the temptation to sin and on how to overcome it. Meetings will take place in the Lower Church on Tuesdays at 7:30 p.m. running weekly until Thanksgiving. We will begin each session by reading aloud the week's 'letter.' You do not need your own copy of the book, but it could only help to read the chapters ahead of time. Contact Paul Masur ([email protected]) for information on obtaining a new copy of the book for about $8.50. For general questions, contact Paul or Daniel Orazio ([email protected]). There is no need to RSVP. We hope to see you soon!

La fe Las Viudas 32o Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario (ciclo B) Debemos vivir por la obediencia de la fe, una fe que se manifiesta en las obras de caridad y entrega (ver Gálatas 5: 6). Esa es la lección de las dos viudas en la liturgia de hoy. La viuda en la primera lectura no es ni siquiera un Judio, pero ella confía en la palabra de Elías y la promesa de su Señor. Frente a asegurarse de hambre, ella da todo lo que tiene, su último bit del hombre de Dios dando de alimen-tos antes de ella y su familia. La viuda del Evangelio también da todo lo que tiene, que ofrece su último poco de dinero para apoyar la labor de los sacerdotes de Dios en el templo. En su auto-sacrificio, estas viudas encarnan el amor que Jesús la semana pasada reveló que el corazón de la Ley y el Evangelio. Ellos reflejan el amor del Padre al dar a su Hijo único, y el amor de Cristo en sacrificarse a sí mismo en la cruz. De nuevo en la epístola de hoy, escuchamos a Cristo de-scribe como un nuevo sumo sacerdote y el siervo su-friente predicho por Isaías. En la cruz, Él hizo el sacrifi-cio una vez por todas para quitar nuestros pecados y nos lleve a la salvación (ver Isaías 53:12). Y de nuevo estamos llamados a imitar a su sacrificio de amor en nuestras propias vidas. Seremos juzgados, no por lo mucho que nos damos, los escribas y los ricos con-tribuimos mucho más que la viuda. Más bien, se nos juzgará por si nuestros regalos reflejan nuestros medios de vida, nuestros seres integrales, todo nuestro corazón y alma, mente y fuerza. ¿Estamos dando todo lo que podamos para el Señor, y no por un sentido del deber forzado, pero en un espíritu de generosidad y amor (ver 2 Corintios 9: 6-7)? No tenga miedo, el hombre de Dios nos dice hoy. Como cantamos en el salmo de hoy, el Señor proveerá para no-sotros, como lo sostiene la viuda. Hoy, vamos a seguir el ejemplo de las viudas, haciendo lo que Dios le pide, seguros de que nuestros frascos de hari-na no crecerán vacío, ni nuestras jarras de ejecución aceite seco.
