love offered by the saints may fortify Christians in their

Charm is deceptive and beauty fleeting…
The end of the liturgical year is drawing to a close. The days in the northern hemisphere continue to grow shorter as a deeper darkness envelops our lives as winter approaches. The word from Sacred Scripture in today’s second reading from 1 Thessalonians etches into our imagination a disturbing “breaking-in” of tranquility: “…the day of Lord will come like a thief at night.” [1 Thes 5:2] The thief [death], will come suddenly like a pregnant woman’s labor pains that she cannot escape; then, and only then, will disaster come.
Most of us have been blessed with a few talents in our life; some have more, some less, like the three servants in today’s gospel. How have you used them? Have you put them to good use, or, have you squandered them like the wicked lazy servant? Have you squandered your talents because you have spent your life worrying about the thief who just may come in the night and rob you of them?
Trust, like most gifts, comes from God and we must ask and pray for it, that we may always do the will of the Father [the Master in the gospel parable]. Doing the will of the Father is cause for discernment: Just what is it that God wants me to be and do; to continue to be and do in life? The answer lies in the reading from today’s book of Proverbs which portrays the ideal wife: She brings him good, and not evil, all the days of her life. In all things in life: do good!
My brothers and sisters in Christ: quit worrying! Quit worrying about yesterday, about the future. Live in the present by living in His Presence! Next week is the Solemnity of Christ the King. As the liturgical year draws to a close, “be not like horse or mule, unintelligent, needing bridle and bit…many sorrows has the wicked but he who trusts in the Lord, loving mercy surrounds him.” [Ps 32:9] Spend some time in Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament this new year. Ask of the Lord to guide your footsteps this Advent season and give of your talents like never before. Be not afraid! The thief was captured and destroyed a long time ago by a small babe, born of a Virgin in a manger, whose many talents manifested itself years later on a Cross for the redemption of us sinners. “May the Lord bless you from Zion, all the days of your life.” [Ps 128:5]
Book of Remembrance
Please write the names of your deceased loved ones in the book placed at the back of each church. They will be remembered at all the Masses during the month of November.
