Psalm You are my inheritance, O Lord! (Psalm 16). Second Reading Where there is forgiveness, there is no longer offering for sin (Hebrews 10:11-14, 18). Gospel Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will not pass away (Mark 13:24-32). ENCOURAGEMENT This Sunday s Gospel is our final selection from Mark for this liturgical year. It is taken from the end of Jesus teaching in Jerusalem immediately preceding the account of his arrest and passion. In it Jesus gives his disciples hope to sustain them through his passion and death and any persecution or suffering that they would encounter after his resurrection. The words from the book of Daniel also provided hope and encouragement to the people of Daniel s time. The encouragement in these scriptures is meant for us as well, for none of us will escape tribulation in our lives. Followers of Jesus will be able to endure suffering with joyful hope, knowing that Christ s love will lead us along the way of discipleship and give us eternal life with God. Announcements: Please checkout The Catholic Faith at: FORMED.ORG Password: BJKGVD Join us on Facebook at St. John Vianney Catholic Church Starting Sunday, November 25th, there will be a Mass at 7am.

Mężczyźni Świętego Józefa Kim są Mężczyźni Świętego Józefa? W dzisiejszych czasach istnieje wiele przeszkód na drodze wiary, ale Mężczyzna Świętego Józefa to człowiek, który szuka Pana w swoim życiu: (Jer 29,13) Będziecie Mnie szukać i znajdziecie Mnie, kiedy będziecie Mnie szukać z całego serca. Nasz Pan Jezus Chrystus przyszedł, aby pokazać nam Miłość i my odkrywamy naszą rolę jako mężczyźni, którzy dostrzegają potrzeby inne niż poszukiwanie mocy i przywilejów (Łk 22,25). Mężczyźni Świętego Józefa to mężczyźni którzy "wspierają się nawzajem i wzajemnie się budują" (1Tes 5,11) i trwają w Bogu(Jan 15). W rezultacie Mężczyzna Świętego Józefa jest spełniony przez odnajdywanie radości życia bożego w celach, jakie odkrywa dla swojego życia (Kol. 1,9-12). Mężczyźni Świętego Józefa to katolicka sieć mężczyzn. Spotkanie w naszej parafii odbędzie się w pierwsze czwartek mieszanca, o 7:00 pm. Serdecznie zapraszamy. ```````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````````` Catholic Campaign for Human Development For more than 45 years the Catholic Campaign for Human Development, or CCHD created by the U.S Catholic bishops has addressed the problem of poverty by a acking its root causes and funding community projects that promote independence as a means of finding a permanent end to poverty. 43 million Americans, including one in five children, live below the poverty line.
