2 The Sunday Readings First Reading 1 Kings 17:10-16 Through Elijah, a widow and her son are blest with enough flour and oil to supply them for a year. Responsorial Psalm Psalm 146:7, A prayer of praise to God who raises up the lowly Second Reading Hebrews 9:24-28 Christ died once to take away sin; he will return again to bring salvation. Gospel Reading Mark 12:38-44 (shorter form, Mark 12:41-44) Jesus notices a poor widow s offering and commends her great sacrifice. Background on the Gospel Reading The context for today s Gospel continues to be mounting tension between Jesus and the Jewish authorities. Mark reports some of Jesus teaching in the Temple area in today s reading and in the preceding verses not included in our Lectionary sequence. In the first part of today s Gospel, we hear Jesus warn the crowds not to follow the example of the scribes in seeking honor and attention from others. It is important to recall that Mark indicates that Jesus taught these things while in the vicinity of the Temple in Jerusalem. Mark is setting the stage for Jesus passion. Jesus then observes how Jewish pilgrims are making their contributions to the temple treasury. The Temple in Jerusalem was the center of Jewish worship in the time of Jesus. It was expected that observant Jews would make pilgrimages to the Temple to offer prayer and sacrifices. Pilgrims were also expected to make a financial contribution to the temple treasury. As we would expect to be the case, Jesus observes that those who were rich contributed large sums to the treasury. Those with less means made smaller contributions. A similar situation exists in most of our parishes as well. Jesus calls attention, however, to a poor widow who makes the smallest of contributions two coins of little value. Jesus upholds the poor widow s offering for his disciples consideration, commending her because her small offering was an act of profound generosity, giving from her livelihood rather than her surplus. To give from our livelihood is not only an act of generosity, it is also an act of trust in God. We can only give from our need if we trust that God will provide for us. Jesus himself demonstrates the ultimate act of generosity and trust in God as he gives his life for us on the cross.

5 St. Coleman Parishioners Thank You Veterans Veterans Day, formerly known as Armistice Day, was originally set as a U.S. legal holiday to honor the end of World War I, which officially took place on November 11, In legislation that was passed in 1938, November 11 was "dedicated to the cause of world peace and to be hereafter celebrated and known as 'Armistice Day.'" As such, this new legal holiday honored World War I veterans. In 1954, after having been through both World War II and the Korean War, the 83rd U.S. Congress -- at the urging of the veterans service organizations -- amended the Act of 1938 by striking out the word "Armistice" and inserting the word "Veterans." With the approval of this legislation on June 1, 1954, Nov. 11 became a day to honor American veterans of all wars. In 1968, the Uniforms Holiday Bill ensured three-day weekends for federal employees by celebrating four national holidays on Mondays: Washington's Birthday, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, and Columbus Day. Under this bill, Veterans Day was moved to the fourth Monday of October. Many states did not agree with this decision and continued to celebrate the holiday on its original date. The first Veterans Day under the new law was observed with much confusion on Oct. 25, Finally on September 20, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed a law which returned the annual observance of Veterans Day to its original date of Nov. 11, beginning in Since then, the Veterans Day holiday has been observed on Nov. 11. President Donald Trump issued a proclamation Wednesday designating November 2018 as National Veterans and Military Families Month. I encourage all communities, all sectors of society, and all Americans to acknowledge and honor the service, scarifies, and contributions of veterans and military families for what the have done and for what they do every day to support our great Nation, the president said in a press statement posted to the White House s website. He signed into law the VA Mission Act of 2018 which revolutionizes the way service men and women receive health care. Your generous donations amounted to $ dollars for Catholic Charities! If you want to make donations to help in the recovery, you can visit their website at and look at the list of items that they need. Also they are looking for volunteers to help in the distribution of items if you want to have a hands on experience helping those in desperate need. It s time for Holy Pies! Mark your calendars!
