The Sacrament of Reconciliation: Confessions are heard each week on Saturday at the (SR #46) from 3:45pm to 4:45pm or by calling the parish office to make an appointment with a priest. Learn more about this beautiful sacrament by visiting our website: The Sacrament of Baptism: Call the parish office to learn the necessary requirements and make an appointment with Fr. Kenneth Metz to have your child baptized. Ask us about the requirements for Godparents. Anointing of the Sick: Please call the parish office. The Rite of Anointing tells us there is no need to wait until a person is at the point of death to receive the Sacrament. Did you know that the Sacrament may be repeated if the person becomes sick again? A person should be anointed before surgery when a dangerous illness is the reason for the intervention. Eucharistic Ministry to the Sick and Homebound: If you are unable to attend Mass, please call the parish office so we may assist you in having a visit from one of our ministers or from one of our priests.

All Souls Catholic 2 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time "Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night?" The widow in today's parable didn't give up.

2 All Souls Catholic 2 29th Sunday in Ordinary Time "Will not God then secure the rights of his chosen ones who call out to him day and night?" The widow in today's parable didn't give up. She kept "bothering" the judge by coming to him and asking for a decision in her favor. Ultimately, her persistence caught his attention and influenced his behavior. Jesus seems to be teaching us today that this quality of faithful persistence is a good one to have. Thus, he advises us to call out to God not once, not twice, but "day and night." This is a fitting image for the idea of continual prayer; it goes on all the time without ceasing. As this Gospel reading says in the opening line, Jesus wanted to teach his disciples how to "pray always without becoming weary." It's interesting that the method he used for this instruction was to emphasize the reward of such persistent prayer. The parable's conclusion assures us that for those who pray without giving up, God "will see to it that justice is done for them speedily." Perhaps this attractive promise is supposed to keep us from losing hope, from throwing in the towel, from becoming "weary" when our requests don't seem to be getting heard. Following the example of this determined widow, we need not fear to repeatedly make our requests known to God. In fact, we should make a point of it! If we only offer our prayers of petition halfheartedly, without real conviction, persistence, or sincerity, they are not as powerful as they could be. But when we truly commit to taking these requests before the Lord, day after day (and night after night!) then we are displaying a kind of profound faith in God's ability to act on our behalf. So, full of hope and trust, let's keep "bothering" this truly just Judge! LPI, Inc. 29º Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario La palabra de Dios nos va educando cada domingo en la Eucaristía, ayudándonos por medio de ella a que nuestros caminos sean los que Dios nos va indicando. De esta forma es que la conocemos y crece la fe. Muchos de nosotros tenemos esta experiencia. Después de escucharla es que nos nacen las ganas de estudiar y anunciarla. La responsabilidad misionera no la podemos evitar. Sabemos que las lecturas bíblicas son consoladoras y animadoras en la mayoría de ellas. Pero, a veces también nos retan, juzgan y hasta condenan nuestros actos. Es así, como Pablo le pide a Timoteo que "anuncies la palabra; insiste a tiempo y a destiempo; convence, reprende y exhorta con toda paciencia y sabiduría" (2 Tim 4, 2). Si escuchamos la palabra de Dios con atención en la Misa los domingos y recibimos el cuerpo y la sangre del Señor estaremos de seguro bien equipados para toda obra buena. La palabra nos educa en la verdadera sabiduría y misericordia de Dios. Cómo educarnos en la palabra de Dios? Cómo saber llevarla a los demás? Hay varios caminos, pero hoy el Señor nos presenta uno de ellos. Nos invita a saber orar, a saber dirigirnos a Dios con humildad y confianza. Moisés con su grupo y la mujer de la parábola nos muestran la insistencia. Tenemos que hacer rutina de oración personalmente y con la familia. Papá y mamá pueden buscar en sus celulares pasajes de la Biblia y orar con los miembros de la familia. Hoy el Señor Jesús nos invita a la apertura hacia su Padre por medio de la oración. LPI, Inc.

Through Christ our Lord. Amen. A Big Thank You from Fr. Medina! Last Saturday, Fr.
