Along with the Rose procession, and the banners displaying the names of our loved ones, Sr. Pierre collected funeral programs and holy card for parishioner since 1986. Through the kindness of Erin Bernart, these treasures are now in an album. The album will also be in the vestibule of the Church through the month of November. Please continue to pray for all who have been granted eternal rest. Readings for todays Mass begin on Page 568 in your Missal. 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time. Introduction: To be here we have left the places of our ordinary living and come together to worship, celebrate and ponder the ways of the Lord. Yet here we will rediscover our ordinary lives and see them in new ways. Learning from the Lord, we can return to our places in the world, and live them more hopefully, more lovingly. First Reading: Proverbs 31:10-13. 19-20. 30-31 When the writer of Proverbs looks for an image to finish his book, and sum up what practical wisdom looks like, he offers a picture of the perfect wife. Second Reading: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6 As Paul writes to some of the earliest Christians, he is concerned that they learn to live their lives in joyful expectation, rather than in anxiety about the future. Gospel: Matthew: 25:14-30 Today s Gospel tells us the familiar parable of the talents. However small the work set before us, we are each called to respond with care and creativity.
