Por Favor Recuerde Orar Por Nuestros Seminaristas. http://www.dioknox.org/vocations/seminarians COME TO THE FEAST “On this mountain, the Lord of hosts / will provide for all peoples / a feast of rich food and choice wines” (Isaiah 25:6). That’s what Isaiah tells us today. God is putting together a huge party for “all peoples,” to “wipe away / the tears from every face” (Isaiah 25:8). And what does Jesus tell us? The reign of God, he says, “may be likened to a king who gave a wedding feast for his son” (Matthew 22:2). When the guests didn’t come, the king had his servants go out “into the main roads and invite to the feast whomever you find” (Matthew 22:9). We are called to deliver that invitation. One of the themes woven into today’s liturgy is that of divine generosity. Asleep to reality, people often think they have “earned” what they have. In our better moments, though, we know that all our gifts—even the spiritual gifts—come through God’s generosity. Our vocation is to invite people, to remind them the tickets aren’t for sale. We can only show up and say thank you. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Gal 4:22-24, 26-27, 31 — 5:1; Ps 113:1b-5a, 6-7; Lk 11:29-32 Tuesday: Gal 5:1-6; Ps 119:41, 43-45, 47-48; Lk 11:37-41 Wednesday: Gal 5:18-25; Ps 1:1-4, 6; Lk 11:42-46 Thursday: Eph 1:1-10; Ps 98:1-6; Lk 11:47-54 Friday: Eph 1:11-14; Ps 33:1-2, 4-5, 12-13; Lk 12:1-7 Saturday: 2 Tm 4:10-17b; Ps 145:10-13, 17-18; Lk 10:1-9 Sunday: Is 45:1, 4-6; Ps 96:1, 3-5, 7-10; 1 Thes 1:1-5b; Mt 22:15– 21 VENGAN A LA FIESTA “El Señor de los Ejércitos preparará para todos los pueblos en este cerro, una comida con jugosos asados y buenos vinos” (Isaías 25:6). Esto es lo que Isaías nos dice hoy. Dios está organizando una inmensa fiesta para “todos los pueblos”, para “enjugar las lágrimas de todos los rostros”. ¿Y qué es lo que Jesús nos dice? “El reino de Dios”, él dice, es como “lo que le sucedió a un rey que celebró las bodas de su hijo” (Mateo 22:2). Cuando los invitados no acudieron, el rey mandó a sus sirvientes a que fueran “a las esquinas de las calles y conviden a la boda a todos los que encuentren” (Mateo 22:9). Nosotros somos llamados a distribuir esta invitación. Uno de los temas entrelazado con la liturgia de hoy es el referente a la generosidad divina. Ausente de la realidad, la gente a menudo asume que ha “ganado” lo que tiene. En nuestros mejores momentos, sin embargo, somos conscientes de que todos nuestros dones, incluyendo los espirituales, provienen de la generosidad de Dios. Nuestra misión es invitar a la gente, recordarles que las entradas no están a la venta. Lo único que podemos hacer es acudir y dar las gracias. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Each October we celebrate “Respect Life Month,” a time when we reflect more deeply upon the sanctity of life, from conception to natural death. We pray for the weak and vulnerable, the unborn and the elderly, for the innocent in the womb, as well as for the most guilty. We pray for a spirit of mercy and not vengeance, for an overturning of the death penalty as we pray also for the victims’ families of violent crime, for Christ’s peace through His mercy and love to comfort them. We pray for Christians and minorities throughout the world who suffer from war and persecution. We pray that Amendment One and other legislative measures that affirm a “yes to life” will be sustained with your vote for life. In the darkening clouds of violence, war, and persecution, pray for Christ’s peace to reign in mercy and love.—Bishop S ka Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, One of the great privileges of living in a democracy is the right of its citizens to vote. Although the Catholic Church will never identify itself with any political community or system, we can and must speak up in support of moral issues. One such issue that we as Catholics will have an opportunity to vote on November 4th is Amendment One. This amendment is neither a Republican nor Democrat issue, but a moral and life issue of greatest magnitude. A yes vote on Amendment One, a prolife amendment, would neutralize the extreme interpretation taken by the Tennessee State Supreme Court in 2000 in which they declared that our State Constitution guarantees the right to an abortion. Passage of this Amendment would restore back to the voter the “life” decisions that were taken from them by the state court decision. For this reason, I and my brother Bishops in Nashville and Memphis wholeheartedly ask for your support for “life” by voting for “Yes on One” this November 4th .—Bishop S ka October is Right to Life Month Vote Yes on 1 to open the door for informed consent for women and girls considering abortion, inspection or regulation of abortion facilities, and hospitalization requirement for later term abortions.
