THIRTY-FIRST SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME OCTOBER 30, 2016 Operation Pilgrim When the Colonists first settled our land, they were so grateful for the first harvest, they wanted to thank God by sharing and celebrating with their new neighbors. Keep the spirit alive! Join with others in our Parish to sponsor a Thanksgiving Dinner by supplying the fixin s so others may have a good Holiday Dinner. Beginning the weekend of October 29 and 30 we would appreciate donations of non-perishable foods for the Thanksgiving baskets that we put together for the less fortunate in our communities. This food drive will continue right up until Thanksgiving.

Each week bring to Mass at least one of the items listed below. Late in November all the groceries collected will be presented to our local food pantries. Last year over one hundred families were helped; so please help continue to respond to these needs. stove top stuffing, stuffing mix, instant mashed potatoes, rice can of gravy, jar of gravy cans of: cranberries, yams, green beans, or other vegetables juices muffin mixes, cake mixes, frosting, graham cracker crust or pie crust mix pumpkin or apple pie filling.or frozen pies hams or frozen turkeys CASH: We also accept monetary donations; just specify that it is for either Operation Pilgrim, Hudson, Operation Pilgrim, Germantown, or the Germantown Food Pantry.

Reflections on today s Scriptures Thirty-first Sunday in Ordinary Time Behold, half of my possessions, Lord, I shall give to the poor, and if I have extorted anything from anyone I shall repay it four times over. Zacchaeus was serious about following Jesus. Maybe at the start he was just curious when he ran ahead to scale that sycamore tree. But that curiosity developed into a life-changing experience when Jesus called him by name. At that moment, when the Lord chose Zacchaeus to be his host for the evening, the rich tax collector came down quickly and received him with joy. And shortly thereafter came his promise of conversion and penance. Not only would he change his ways; he would make up for his former ones. And thus Jesus declared, Today salvation has come to this house. Penance isn t a popular concept in our modern era. We like to think about God's great mercy and forgiveness, but it's not so fun to think about the lingering effects of our sin. When Zacchaeus stole money, people suffered, especially the poor. His conversion to the ways of God wouldn't make up for the suffering he had inflicted on people. But his choice to go back and set things aright could make a difference. Sometimes, we are called to do something similar. Of course it is not always possible to go back and directly restore the relationships or situations that we have damaged through our sins. However, it IS always possible to offer a kind of sacrifice often called making reparation for our sin. We can do something virtuous and offer it to God as a kind of deposit in the universal bank of goodness to make up for the unjust withdrawals we have previously made. In this way, we too can show that we are serious about following the Lord. Gina Loehr Don t add up your troubles. Count your blessings.
