I couldn t believe the good virgins wouldn t share their oil. Now I understand the oil is symbolic. It is a symbol of readiness. When we put oil on our hands it doesn t evaporate it sinks in. The same thing happens when an athlete practices. The training goes deep inside their muscles and their body memory. When we live the life of virtue as a Christian, these actions go deep inside of our character. When we live a holy life we re ready for the Master s return. There is a cost in being ready. The time and effort that it takes to get ready is the cost. When the ten virgins say to go to the merchants and buy the oil this is a the reference to the cost of being ready. We are approaching the end of a liturgical year and it s a reminder for us to be ready for the Master s return. Sincerely in Christ, 2 Stewardship of Prayer Our ill parish members & relatives: Susan Moore Christine Russell Ben Spence Our deceased parish members & relatives: Sean Maguire Carl Francis Hegarty Jonathan Zeiger Veterans and deceased members of our Armed Forces who serve selflessly to protect our way of life.

There are three classes of relics: A first-class relic is a part of the saint s body (this is the part inserted in the altar). A second-class relic is a piece of the saint s clothing or something used by the saint. A third-class relic is an object which has been touched to a first-class relic. So if your rosary, medal, or holy card has touched a first-class relic, you now have custody of a third-class relic! from Mila Glodava s Blog October 15, 2015 Saint Frances Xavier Cabrini Feast Day - November 13th We must pray without tiring, for the salvation of mankind does not depend on material success; nor on sciences that cloud the intellect. Neither does it depend on arms and human industries, but on Jesus alone. One of thirteen children raised on a farm. She tried to join an order at age 18, but poor health prevented her taking the veil. A priest asked her to teach at a girl s school, the House of Providence Orphanage in Cadagono, Italy, which she did for six years. She took religious vows in The bishop asked her to found the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart to care for poor children in schools and hospitals. Pope Leo XIII then sent her to the United States to carry on this mission. She and six Sisters arrived in New York in They worked among immigrants, especially Italians. Mother Cabrini founded 67 institutions, including schools, hospitals, and orphanages in the United States, Europe and South America. Like many of the people she worked with, Mother became a United States citizen. After her death, she was the first US citizen to be canonized. 3

They are pleased to share their family story and trade to all those who will be present after all masses. As Joseph taught Christ the trade of carpentry in Nazareth, the Bannoura family passed the trade of olive wood artisanship from generation to generation until the present. They take great pride in this distinct and traditional craft, which is one of the principal sources of income for the small but resilient Christian community. Each item for sale is handcrafted from olive wood with care and precision. Any number of items ranging from Nativity sets to Christmas ornaments will make ideal Christmas gifts for family, friends and coworkers. Other items such as statuettes and rosary beads will make for excellent Baptismal, First Communion and Confirmation gifts throughout the year.

7 Catholic Events and Resources (continued) November 12, 2017 Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time Have you imagined your death? It s hard to do. We can imagine, perhaps, our funerals, and even the illness that will finally do us in. But truly imagining that last breath in our waking state seems as rare as dying actually hitting the ground after falling from a tall building in our dream state. The sub-conscious resists it mightily. The truth is that, somehow, we think we ll be around to read our own obituaries. We haven t worked out exactly how that will happen, but humans live in a cognitive dissonance about our own deaths. St. Paul was a baby Christian when he wrote his first letter to the Philippians. This was very early in his own life as a believer, and he was writing to relieve the anxieties of other new Christians. Apparently a rumor had started that Jesus had already returned, and that those who died before his return (or didn t happen to live in Jerusalem) had missed the Second Coming and wouldn t experience heaven. What a terrible rumor. Paul s detailed assurance about how the end times would occur and he surely believed this would happen before he himself died was meant to assure this community that the God of the Universe would find them, even if they died before Christ came to earth again. In less than twenty years, St. Paul and St. Peter were both martyred in Rome. It wasn t until the leaders of the Christian faith were actually gone that the realization sunk in that the Second Coming may not be any time soon. That s when St. Mark began to write down what would become the earliest gospel. The Second Coming was delayed, yes, but the Good News had just begun.
