2 November 6, nd Sunday in Ordinary Time May our Lord Jesus Christ himself and God our Father, who has loved us and given us everlasting encouragement and good hope through his grace, encourage your hearts and strengthen them in every good deed and word Thessalonians 2:16-17 There are two important lessons here. First, we are called to be generous with our encouragement and hope. As God shows us mercy, we must be merciful to others. Second, joy is contagious! The joy we receive from doing good works not only strengthens us, it encourages others as well. A SMILE: IT NEEDS SO LITTLE SYMPATHY TO CHEER A WEARY WAY. SOMETIMES A LITTLE KINDNESS LIGHTS UP A DREARY DAY; A VERY SIMPLE, FRIENDLY WORD MAY HOPE AND STRENGTH IMPART, OR JUST AN UNDERSTANDING SMILE REVIVE SOME FAINTING HEART; AND LIKE A SUDDEN SUNLIT RAY. LIGHTNING A DARKENED ROOM. A SUNNY SPIRIT MAY BEGUILE THE DEEPEST DEPTHS OF GLOOM. (Have you ever thought how a smile could bring a touch of hope and enlightenment to a fainting heart? - God can use our smiles miraculously). READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Ti 1:1-9; Ps 24:1b-4ab, 5-6; Lk 17:1-6 Tuesday: Ti 2:1-8, 11-14; Ps 37:3-4, 18, 23, 27, 29; Lk 17:7-10 Wednesday: Ez 47:1-2, 8-9, 12; Ps 46:2-3, 5-6, 8-9; 1 Cor 3:9c-11, 16-17; Jn 2:13-22 Thursday: Phlm 7-20; Ps 146:7-10; Lk 17:20-25 Friday: 2 Jn 4-9; Ps 119:1-2, 10-11, 17-18; Lk 17:26-37 Saturday: 3 Jn 5-8; Ps 112:1-6; Lk 18:1-8 Sunday: Mal 3:19-20a; Ps 98:5-9; 2 Thes 3:7-6 de Noviembre de º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario "Que el propio Cristo Jesús, nuestro Señor, y Dios nuestro Padre, que nos ha amado y nos ha dado consuelo eterno y buena esperanza por su gracia, anime y fortalezca sus corazones en toda buena palabra y obra."- 2 Tesalonicenses 2: Hay dos lecciones importantes aquí. En primer lugar, estamos llamados a ser generosos con nuestro aliento y esperanza. Como Dios nos muestra misericordia, debemos ser misericordiosos con los demás. En segundo lugar, la alegría es contagiosa! La alegría que recibimos de hacer buenas obras no sólo nos fortalece, sino también anima a otros. UNA SONRISA: SÓLO NECESITA UN POCO DE SIMPATÍA PARA ANIMAR A ALGUIEN DE UNA MANERA RÁPI- DA. ALGUNAS VECES, UN POCO DE AMABILIDAD PARA ILUMINAR UN DIA TRISTE; UNA PALABRA MUY SIMPLE Y AMISTOSA PODRÍA TRAER ESPERANZA Y FORTALEZA, O SO- LO UNA SONRISA DE ENTENDIMIENTO REVIVE AL- GUNOS CORAZONES DESVALIDOS; Y COMO UN CÁLIDO RAYO DE SOL, ILUMINA EN LA OBSCURIDAD. UN ESPIRITU RESPLANDESCIENTE PUEDE SEDUCIR LAS PROFUNDIDADES MÁS PROFUNDAS DE LA OB- SCURIDAD. ( Has alguna vez pensado como una sonrisa podria traer un toque de esperanza y amor a un corazon desvalido? Dios puede usar nuestras sonrisas milagrosamente ). Collection for Destruction by Hurricane Matthew As we continue to recover and assist people in our own Diocese from the destruction caused by Hurricane Matthew, we are mindful of the people of Haiti and areas of our country which were devastated by this hurricane. To assist in these efforts, the USCCB has asked that each diocese take up a collection. In the Diocese of Savannah, we will take up the collection on the weekend of November Since we will not have special envelopes for this collection, the baskets will be passed VOTE NOVEMBER 8, 2016 We would like to welcome any new Parishioner and encourage you to register with the Parish. Registration Forms are located in the church on the stand in front of the Confessional, or you may stop by the Parish Office and register Monday- 8:30 am - 4:00 pm.
