2 LITURGY OF THE WORD In the Scriptures, God speaks to us, his people, in inspired words, opening to us the mystery of redemption and salvation and offering us spiritual nourishment. Christ himself is present in the midst of the faithful through his Word. As we are fed by the Word of God, we sit in attentive silence or offer our voices in song in full participation. We stand for the Gospel, showing great reverence for Jesus Christ present there, and finally we affirm the faith we have in the Creed before offering up our hearts to the Lord in our Universal Prayers. FIRST READING: ISAIAH 45:1,4-6 Thus says the LORD to his anointed, Cyrus, whose right hand I grasp, subduing nations before him, and making kings run in his service, opening doors before him and leaving the gates unbarred: For the sake of Jacob, my servant, of Israel, my chosen one, I have called you by your name, giving you a title, though you knew me not. I am the LORD and there is no other, there is no God besides me. It is I who arm you, though you know me not, so that toward the rising and the setting of the sun people may know that there is none besides me. I am the LORD, there is no other. The Word of the Lord.. Thanks be to God RESPONSORIAL PSALM: PSALM 96:1,3,4-5,7-8,9-10 Give the Lord glory and honor. Sing to the LORD a new song; sing to the LORD, all you lands. Tell his glory among the nations; among all peoples, his wondrous deeds. For great is the LORD and highly to be praised; awesome is he, beyond all gods. For all the gods of the nations are things of nought, but the LORD made the heavens. Give to the LORD, you families of nations, give to the LORD glory and praise; give to the LORD the glory due his name! Bring gifts, and enter his courts. Worship the LORD, in holy attire; tremble before him, all the earth; say among the nations: The LORD is king, he governs the peoples with equity. SECOND READING: THESSALONIANS 1:1-5B Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy to the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ: grace to you and peace. We give thanks to God always for all of you, remembering you in our prayers, unceasingly calling to mind your work of faith and labor of love and endurance in hope of our Lord Jesus Christ, before our God and Father, knowing, brothers and sisters loved by God, how you were chosen. For our gospel did not come to you in word alone, but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with much conviction. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

3 A LLELUIA: PHILIPPIANS 2:15D,16A Shine like lights in the world as you hold on to the word of life. opinion: Is it lawful to pay the census tax to Caesar or not?" Knowing their malice, Jesus said, "Why are you testing me, you hypocrites? Show me the coin that pays the census tax." Then they handed him the Roman coin. He said to them, "Whose image is this and whose inscription?" They replied, "Caesar's." At that he said to them, "Then repay to Caesar what belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God." GOSPEL: MATTHEW 22:15-21 The Pharisees went off and plotted how they might entrap Jesus in speech. They sent their disciples to him, with the Herodians, saying, "Teacher, we know that you are a truthful man and that you teach the way of God in accordance with the truth. And you are not concerned with anyone's opinion, for you do not regard a The Gospel of the Lord. person's status. Tell us, then, what is your. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

We will view the fourth week's video entitled "How We Got the Bible" on Wednesday, November 1st. All are welcome to join us! ANNUAL MEMORAL MASS OF REMEMBRANCE: During the month of November, when Catholics traditionally remember and pray for all the dead, we gather for our Annual Memorial Mass of Remembrance. At this Mass we pray for those who have died, especially for all those whose funerals or burials were celebrated here in the past year. All are welcome to join us on Tuesday, November 7th at 6:00pm and pray for their beloved dead. Mass is followed by a reception with light refreshments. DIA DE LOS MUERTOS/DAY OF THE DEAD ALTAR: Christ the Redeemer will host a Dia de los Muertos (Spanish for Day of the Dead) altar. Traditionally celebrated in Mexico during the All Saints' Day and All Souls' Day, Day of the Dead altars honor the lives of those who have passed. All parishioners are invited to participate by simply bringing a framed/labeled photograph to sit on the altar which will be located in the church lobby beginning on October 26th. The altar will be dismantled on November 19th so please be sure to remove your photos before then.
