THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
	November 18, 2018

ENCOURAGEMENT

ALIENTO

This Sunday’s Gospel is our final selection from Mark for this liturgical year. It is taken from the end of Jesus’ teaching in Jerusalem immediately preceding the account of his arrest and passion. In it Jesus gives his disciples hope to sustain them through his passion and death and any persecution or suffering that they would encounter after his resurrection.

The words from the book of Daniel also provided hope and encouragement to the people of Daniel’s time. The encouragement in these scriptures is meant for us as well, for none of us will escape tribulation in our lives. Followers of Jesus will be able to endure suffering with joyful hope, knowing that Christ’s love will lead us along the way of discipleship and give us eternal life with God.

El Evangelio de este domingo es nuestra selección final de Marcos para este año litúrgico. Pertenece a las últimas enseñanzas de Jesús en Jerusalén y se encuentra inmediatamente antes del relato de su arresto y pasión. En este, Jesús da a sus discípulos esperanza para sostenerlos en su pasión y muerte y en cualquier persecución o sufrimiento que enfrenten después de su resurrección.

Las palabras del libro de Daniel también les brindan esperanza y aliento a los contemporáneos de Daniel. El aliento de estas lecturas también nos sirve a nosotros, ya que ninguno de nosotros puede evitar transitar tiempos difíciles en su vida. Los seguidores de Jesús podrán soportar el sufrimiento con esperanza porque saben que el amor de Cristo nos guiará para poder ser buenos discípulos y nos dará la vida eterna junto a Dios.

PASTORS' MESSAGE

Dear Parishioners and Friends,

St. Michael Catholic Church is participating in the nationwide online “GIVING TUESDAY 2018” at #iGiveCatholic . On the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, November 27, 2018, we will show the strength of our community! This Day of Giving is all about giving back to your community.

Why should you give to #iGiveCatholic? As the first-ever online giving daycreated to celebrate our unique Catholic heritage, the #iGiveCatholic Giving Day inspires faithful stewards to “Give Catholic” on #Giving Tuesday, a global day of giving.

The goal of the #iGiveCatholic Giving Day is to rally our Catholic communities across the country in support of the organizations that shape our souls: our parishes, schools, and non-profit ministries. Our contribution this year will benefit St. Michael Church and Academy.

We know that, for Catholics, generosity and giving have a profound meaning. As children of God, giving is the ultimate expression of mercy as we feed the hungry, clothe the naked, give shelter to the homeless, and preserve our Catholic heritage for future gener- ations. Compelled to action by our shared faith, Catholics are energized to give back know-
ing that little is much when God is in it.
