When he was twelve, he was dedicated to God s service. St. Lawrence became Dublin s second archbishop and a papal legate. He was canonized in Nov St. Margaret of Scotland (1093). Queen Margaret of Scotland was dedicated to caring for the poor. She washed beggars feet and gave them alms. She fed orphans and destitute adults before eating her own meals. How will it happen that Jesus will come again and lead us through the gates? Do you think that this will happen any time soon? We have it from the best of authorities that the date of the world s end is hidden. Jesus said: But of that day and hour no one knows, neither the angels of heaven, nor the Son, but the Father alone (Matthew 24:36). In spite of Christ s admonition that the day of his Second Coming is known but to God, there have been countless false prophets who have confidently but incorrectly predicted a date for the end of the world. Most of these foolish forecasters based their claims on their misinterpretation of the Book of Revelation. Throughout history, many have attempted to use the Book of Revelation as a timetable. They misinterpreted symbols and numbers as a forecast of what would happen in their own century. Over and over again, such people have used Revelation to predict the end of the world. The world might end tomorrow, in five billion years, or somewhere in between. Jesus tells us we can t know for sure. We are sure, however, that this world will pass away. And for each one of us the world will end at the moment of death. What matters is that we should always be ready to meet Christ, our Judge. And we shall be ready if we follow Christ, our Shepherd. Jesus leads us safely through this life by his teaching, his example, and his grace. Adapted from Dear Padre: Questions Catholics Ask, 2003 Liguori Publications C M Y K

6 6 God loves us as we are Most of us care about how we come across to other people. Choices about how we live, work, or dress can be influenced by a desire for others approval. While it is only human to want to be liked, it s important to remember that God s opinion matters most. The best part? God always loves us. His love never changes. Human standards change over time. Someone considered in today, can be out in no time. God s love is unchanging and unending. Friends come and go. Sooner or later, friendships change or friends may move on. But Jesus said,... behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age (Matthew 28:20). God never leaves. CATHOLIC CHARITIES At Catholic Charities, we believe it is possible to end poverty. It s going to take all of us doing our part to make a change and we have unique opportunities for anyone inspired by our mission. Our volunteers are our hands and feet. They move our mission forward and make it possible to meet the needs of our community. Their work is what brings us closer to putting an end to poverty. We have several volunteer positions to fit your talents, schedule and preferences. Volunteer positions are open to anyone looking to give back. He loves us for who we really are. There s nothing God doesn t know about us, and he adores us anyway. Go figure. If God likes you, others may, too. To please God, we have to fill ourselves with love for him and other people, and that makes us even nicer to be around. November 12, 2017 Thirty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time (A) Wis 6:12-16; 1 Thes 4:13-18 or 4:13-14; Mt 25:1-13 As we near the end of the liturgical year and prepare for Advent, the readings get us ready for the Second Coming of Jesus by addressing our own final encounter with him. The Church summarizes the last realities each person must reflect on: death, judgment, heaven, and hell. In short, when we die we will face personal judgment. If our response has been to return Jesus love, the reward will be heaven. But if we reject Jesus, the result will be hell. This should not be a source of anxiety or fear, but rather faith, serenity, and hopeful confidence. If we are not quite ready, now is the age of mercy, and God s grace abounds for those who seek it. It is a healthy thing to be prepared and wise. All of us know our final encounter with Jesus at the end of life is coming. It would be foolish to ignore it or not maturely reflect on its implications. Oil is the natural resource mentioned in the Gospel because without the light and warmth that an oil lamp provided, the guests could get lost in the dark or need to abandon the wait because of the cold. As we journey through this life, awaiting the marriage feast of Jesus, our hearts can get dimmed and icy if we are not lit by the oil of love and the warmth of the Spirit. We don t know the day or the hour when Jesus will come take us into the eternal banquet, but we know for sure that day is coming. The wise guest is the person fueled by the oil of love and ready for any eventuality. As the Boy Scout motto goes Be Prepared. Fr. Mark Haydu, LC Law Office of Joe B.
