NOVEMBER 19, 2017 FAITH ENRICHMENT 33RD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Sunday, Nov 19, 2017-THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Dust off the tradition Three servants are entrusted with their master’s “talents”; the one who fearfully buries his is reprimanded while those who grow theirs earn the “master’s happiness” and trust. Today we take the hint. We try to share the gifts God gives us. But earliest versions of the parable repeat the phrase “to hand over,” meaning the transmission of religious tradition. And so perhaps it’s time to review our portfolio. Is our Catholic heritage a buried treasure, or do we pull it from our pocket regularly? Has our participation in the Eucharist collected dust, like a keepsake of First Communion, or has it grown into a larger way of life?

TODAY'S READINGS: Proverbs 31:10-13, 19-20, 30-31; 1

Thessalonians 5:1-6; Matthew 25:14-30. “Master, you have

handed over to me five talents; see, I have made five more.”

Monday, Nov 20, 2017 Envision your faith One of the greatest blessings any of us ever receives is insight into another person’s soul—seeing the truth of another’s sadness, sensing their loneliness, feeling their pain, understanding what would bring them joy, and then with an open heart offering ourselves in service to that hurting human being. Most of us can call to mind at least one act of compassion on our parts where we knew we had done something genuinely good for another person. At that moment we were true disciples of Christ. Try to regain your Christian vision and see into the souls of others today and every day.

TODAY'S READINGS: 1 Maccabees 1:10-15, 41-43, 54-57, 62-63;

Luke 18:35-43. “Immediately the man regained his sight and

followed Jesus, glorifying God.”

Tuesday, Nov 21, 2017-MEMORIAL OF THE PRESENTATION OF THE BLESSED VIRGIN MARY Be present to the Spirit How did the Virgin Mary come to be a woman “full of grace”? It was her close association with the holy Temple, as today’s feast reminds us. Although not recorded in the Bible, an early document attributed to the apostle James tells us Mary was born to Joachim and Anne in a Jerusalem neighborhood near the Temple. According to legend, she was presented in the Temple at age 12 and lived in seclusion there to learn the Law. The meaning of this story is that Mary lived in God’s presence until God chose to reside in her. Live mindfully in the presence of God.

TODAY'S READINGS: 2 Maccabees 6:18-31; Luke 19:1-10. “The

Son of Man has come to seek and to save what was lost.”

Wednesday, Nov 22, 2017-MEMORIAL OF CECILIA, VIRGIN, MARTYR Let your faith sing A legend says that during her wedding to a young pagan (who later became a Christian), Cecilia (d. 117) “sang in her heart to Christ.” Thus she is the patron saint of music. She was also a martyr, killed in connection with the ministry of giving burial to Christians who had already died for their faith in Roman persecutions. Does your

faith feel like something to sing about? Or is it more like uninspiring background music? How can you make your faith more a source of joy?

TODAY'S READINGS: 2 Maccabees 7:1, 20-31; Luke 19:11-28. “I

call upon you, for you will answer me, O God; incline your ear to

me; hear my word.”

Thursday, Nov 23, 2017-THANKSGIVING DAY Thanks are in order “Imagine a country whose . . . people realize that all human beings belong together as one family and must act accordingly, a country guided by common sense. To the extent to which we show ourselves not hateful but grateful, this becomes reality.” Benedictine monk Brother David Steindl-Rast wrote these words shortly after 9/11 transpired. The Pilgrims and Native Americans laid the foundation for such a country in 1621 when they shared in the feast they had gathered and prepared through cooperation and trust. Be cooperative and trusting as you gather for a Thanksgiving meal today. Most of all, practice the art of gratitude. Simple thank-

yous are a start. TODAY'S READINGS: Mass for Thanksgiving Day: 1 Maccabees

2:15-29; Luke 19:41-44. “Stand up and go; your faith has saved

you.”

Friday, Nov 24, 2017-MEMORIAL OF ANDREW DŨNG-

LẠC, PRIEST, AND COMPANIONS, MARTYRS Give it your all How much are you willing to give? Some make the ultimate sacrifice and give their very lives. Andrew Dũng-Lạc was a priest and one of 117 saints martyred in Vietnam during persecutions there in the 19th century. Three U.S. archbishops returning from Vietnam in 1989 said, “The church in Vietnam is alive and vigorous, blessed with strong and faithful bishops, dedicated religious, and courageous and committed laypeople . . . The church in Vietnam is living out the gospel in a difficult and complex situation with remarkable persistence and strength.”

TODAY'S READINGS: 1 Maccabees 4:36-37, 52-59; Luke 19:45-

48. “Jesus entered the temple area and proceeded to drive out

those who were selling things.”

Saturday, Nov 25, 2017-MEMORIAL OF CATHERINE OF ALEXANDRIA, VIRGIN, MARTYR Be a legend in your own time Catherine of Alexandria was said to be a very learned young woman, a philosopher, and eloquent speaker who persuaded many of the Roman persecutors of Christianity of the errors of their ways. For this, Emperor Maximinus II ordered her tortured to death on a spiked “breaking wheel,” but legend says it burst into flames when she touched it. Today, there is a firework named the Catherine Wheel that spins in a circle showering sparks. But underneath all the colorful legendry, there is the witness of someone who “spoke truth to power,” even when the personal cost was high.

TODAY'S READINGS: 1 Maccabees 6:1-13; Luke 20:27-40. “My

friend, I am not cheating you.”

THANKSGIVING DAY BLESSING

O God of all things in heaven and on earth,

you give all your people in the world the gift

gift of rest.

On this, our national day of Thanksgiving,

we turn all our thoughts to you, from whom

all blessings flow.

families both near and far.

We humbly ask for the ability to continue our

work for your kingdom

and the ability to gather freely to worship

you without fear.

blessing and protection.

We ask all this through Christ the Lord, your

Son and our brother.

TOPIC: THE SPIRIT REMEMBERS�“For the one whom God sent speaks the words of God. He

does not ration his gift of the Spirit” - John 3:34

It’s important for us to remember the great things that God has done for us. Often we become consumed with our daily strug-gles and forget all that that Lord has done. We may also only focus on God not doing what we want of him. One of the blessings of the Holy Spirit is that the Spirit reminds us what Jesus said and what he has done for us. There is no limit to what God has done or what he desires to do in our lives. “We must pray every day: ‘Holy Spirit, make my heart

open to the word of God, make my heart open to goodness,

make my heart open to the beauty of God every day.’”

Purgatory The Forgotten Church

Is Purgatory real? Could the Afterlife require suffering?

Can the living help alleviate the anguish of the dead? This

groundbreaking documentary investigates these compelling

life-after-death questions through spiritual, scientific, and

cultural perspectives. Drawing on this centuries-old article

of faith professed by Catholics, this comprehensive exposé

reveals the formidable spiritual alliance Catholics once

shared and hope to reinvigorate with the departed souls.

Now for the first time top scholars, scientists, historians,

and church leaders revisit age-old questions and embark on

a spiritual quest to unlock the controversy and consolation

of Purgatory: The Forgotten Church.

“Make frequent visits to Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament

and the devil will be powerless against you.” ~St. John Bosco

St. Jude, help me to see the blessings that surround

me and give me life.

I offer you my prayer of thanksgiving. Give me the grace

to be forever thankful for God’s love and mercy, and the

gift of life each day. May this gratitude inspire me to give

generously of myself to others – in my actions,

in my prayers, and in my fortune, however small that may

be. Be with me now, St. Jude. Linger with me in gratitude,

and let thanks fill my heart, washing away my pains and

troubles. May I desire nothing except to be in

God’s presence, and to learn from you to be an example of

hope, love, and Thanksgiving to everyone I meet. Amen.

Remember to pray for us as we pray for you.

+ In Jesus, Mary and Joseph,

Since 2016 St. Michael’s Parish has been providing

volunteers at the Community Kitchen of Myrtle Beach to

assist feeding our brothers and sisters in need. The

of good people like yourselves who are committed to

living the Gospel values. Recently our number of

volunteers has fallen, and we are in need of additional

parishioners who are willing to help once every quarter.

We serve two hot nutritious meals a day, breakfast and

lunch, five days a week, 52 weeks a year. We need 20

volunteers to cover the week. Shifts are from 7 am-10 am

(breakfast) and 10 am-1:30 pm (lunch). If you are

CATHOLIC CHARITIES CHRISTMAS 2017

WHAT IS THE WORLD DAY OF THE POOR? �In his apostolic letter to close the Year of Mercy, Pope Francis suggested the Catholic Church set aside one day each year when communities can “reflect on how poverty is at the very heart of the Gospel.” He designated this day as the “World Day of the Poor.” It will be celebrated on the thirty-third

Sunday in Ordinary time (two Sundays before the season of Advent each year.) The inaugural World Day of the Poor is Sunday, November 19, 2017.

�Dear�God,�Our�Father,��

As�we�remember�the�World�Day�of�the�Poor,�We�pray�for�our�family�and�for�all�families�who�experience�poverty�around�the�world.��

When�we�eat,�we�thank�you�for�our�meal,��And�we�remember�families�who�do�not�have�enough�food.��

We�do�not�waste�what�we�have,�and�we�share�our�food�with�others.�When�we�play,�we�thank�you�for�the�gift�of�free�time�and�safety,��

And�we�pray�especially�for�all�the�children�around�the�world�who�are�not�able�to�play�freely.��

When�we�pray,�we�thank�you�for�our�family,��And�we�pray�for�all�families�around�the�world�who�live�in�poverty.��May�you�be�with�them,�and�help�our�family�to�always�remember�to�

reach�out�to�them.��Amen��

“It would be a day to help communities and each of the baptized to

reflect on how poverty is at the very heart of the Gospel and that, as

long as Lazarus lies at the door of our homes (cf. Lk 16:19-21),

there can be no justice or social peace. This Day will also represent

a genuine form of new evangelization (cf. Mt 11:5) which can renew

the face of the Church as She perseveres in her perennial activity of

pastoral conversion and witness to mercy.” Pope Francis

The Ralph Johnson VA Medical Center in Charleston is looking

for volunteers to drive a D.A.V. van from the Myrtle Beach VA Clinic to Charleston. This is a very important service for

veterans living in the Conway, Loris, Georgetown, and Myrtle

Beach areas.

Can you give a couple of days a month, or even one day, to help

a veteran get to a doctor appointment? If you cannot drive, we

need people to work the phone that takes the veterans’ requests

for a ride. If you are interested in helping, call Vicki Johnson at

843-789-7230 for further information. Thank you.

NOVEMBER 19, 2017 NOTICIAS PARROQUIALES PARA LOS HISPANOS 33RD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME

Meditación: Mateo 25, 14-30

XXXII Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario

La parabola que leemos hoy (Mateo 24, 45 a 25,

46) describe dos tipos de personas: los que

aceptan las palabras de Cristo y las cumplen, y los que deliberadamente las rechazan.

La parabola de los talentos explica muy claramente esta

comparacion. Al servidor bueno y fiel le dijo su maestro: “Te

felicito, siervo bueno y fiel … Entra a tomar parte en la alegria de tu senor” (Mateo 25, 23). En este caso, “fiel” significa digno

de confianza, creyente y dispuesto a asumir riesgos. Las

palabras del amo al servidor necio y perezoso fueron severas

(Mateo 25, 26-29), porque ordeno que lo arrojaran a la mas

densa oscuridad. Estas palabras nos parecen casi despiadadas, pero debemos recordar que Dios es santisimo, lleno de bondad,

amor y justicia, y digno de absoluta obediencia y fidelidad.

En Cristo tenemos todo lo que necesitamos para producir un futuro abundante, como lo dice San Pablo: “Ustedes

no viven en tinieblas, sino que son hijos de la luz y del dia, no

de la noche y las tinieblas” (I Tesalonicences 5, 5). Como hijos

de la luz, recibimos la iluminacion de Cristo y podemos seguir

recibiendola cada dia para vivir con amor y servir a Dios y a nuestros hermanos en la fe. Por eso, es importantisimo escuchar

aDios en la liturgia y en la oracion privada diaria; de otro modo

la vida espiritual se seca, muere y no da fruto.

El Evangelio nos apremia a mantenernos vigilantes (Mateo 25, 13), actuar con fe y estar dispuestos a arriesgar la

vida por Dios; es preciso que cada uno ejercite su propio deseo

de asemejarse a Dios. No podemos ser pasivos o indiferentes y

al mismo tiempo esperar frutos espirituales. En esta parabola, se nos insiste en algo que no nos gusta escuchar: hay que luchar

bien en el combate, correr hasta la meta, y perseverar en la fe (2

Timoteo 4, 7). Asi daremos toda clase de buen fruto en la vida

para la mayor gloria de Dios.

tuyo, usar bien los talentos que me has dado y trabajar por la

propagacion de tu Reino.” Proverbios 31, 10-13, 19-20, 30-31

Información sobre Planned Parenthood que el público

debería saber.

El informe anual del 2015 de Planned Parenthood muestra un aumento en la cantidad de abortos y en la participación de los fondos del gobierno, además muestra rebajas en la contracepción, los exámenes de bustos y la cantidad total de pacientes. Planned Parenthood continua manteniendo su posición de privilegio como el proveedor de abortos más grande de los Estados Unidos ( y otra vez ha incrementado su participación de esa industria Asesina ) El grupo abortador ha efectuado 328.348 abortos de bebes no nacidos, o sea 4.349 más que los años anteriores, según el informe mencionado. Al mismo tiempo, ha visto 2.4 millones de pacientes, aproximadamente 100.000 menos que el año anterior y 500.000 menos que hace cinco años. Los servicios de contracepción que la organización publica como su servicio primario, también ha rebajado de 2.94 millones a 2.8 millones durante los dos últimos años. Mientras tanto la organización recibió mayores fondos del gobierno. El informe reporta haber recibido $554.6 millones en el 2015 mientras que en el año anterior recibió $553.7 millones. Esta forma o patrón es consistente con los informes de años anteriores. Los abortos y los fondos de ayuda del gobierno siguen aumentando, mientras que el número de pacientes y otros servicios continúan decreciendo. Estadísticas recientes demuestran que los Americanos apoyan los esfuerzos por rebajar la ayuda del gobierno. Las estadísticas muestran que 56% de los ciudadanos americanos desean que se anula la ayuda a esta tarea asesina.

Focus on Religious Freedom

From Catholics For Freedom of

Religion

www.cffor.org

Widespread Ignorance of Religious Rights:

A new survey from the University of Pennsylvania reveals

that few Americans know even the most basic elements of

our government and the Constitution that formed it.

� More than 1/3 (37%) could not name a single right

protected by the First Amendment.

� Only 15% could name Freedom of Religion as a right.

� Only 26% can name all 3 branches of government.

"Freedom depends, in part, on our vigilance in protecting

fundamental human rights... We are not likely to defend

rights we barely know exists," said Bill Donohue,

president of Catholic League.
