WORLD MISSION SUNDAY

October 21, 2018

Eucharist, and by giving generously to the collection for the

Society for the Propagation of the Faith. Thank you in ad-

vance for your continued support.

October 14, 2018

Twenty-eighth Sunday in

Ordinary Time

Wisdom 7:7-11

Psalm 90

Hebrews 4:12-13

Mark 10:17-30 or 10:17-27

Introduction to the Liturgy of the Day:

“All things are possible for God.” Jesus follows a se-

ries of challenging pronouncements with this line—

some of the most consoling words that he utters in the

Gospels. As we celebrate Mass today, recall the times

that you have had to rely on God because you didn’t

know if you could manage on your own. For us human

beings on our own, it may well be impossible, but for

God, all things are possible.

Introduction to the Liturgy of the Word:

Solomon makes a wise decision in today’s first reading,

choosing wisdom over power or riches. He realizes

that those things are temporary, whereas wisdom is last-

ing. In the Gospel, Jesus teaches the rich man the same

lesson, noting the incompatibility of wealth and the

kingdom of God. This is our challenge today. How are

our temporary possessions obstacles to our mission and

ultimate goal? Can the “two-edged sword” that the

writer of Hebrews invokes separate what lasts from

what doesn’t.

©2018, World Library Publications

Question of the Week:

How does my attachment to my possessions keep me

from entering the kingdom of God? How might God

assist me in making it possible?

Liturgy for October 21, 2018:

Twenty-ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time

Isaiah 53:10-11

Vigésimo Octavo Domingo del

Tiempo Ordinario

Sabiduría 7, 7-11

Salmo 89

Hebreos 4, 12-13

Marcos 10, 17-30 o 10, 17-27

Introducción a la Liturgia del Día:

“Para Dios todo es posible”. Jesús termina una serie de

pronunciamientos desafiantes con esta frase, que son

unas de las palabras más consoladoras pronunciadas en

los Evangelios. En nuestra celebración de esta Misa

recordemos las veces que hemos tenido que confiar to-

talmente en Dios, porque no sabíamos si podíamos re-

solver las cosas por nuestra propia cuenta. Lo que para

nosotros los seres humanos sería imposible, no para

Dios, pues para Dios todo es posible.

Introducción a la Liturgia de la Palabra:

Salomón hace una decision sabia en la primera lectura

de hoy, pues escoge la sabiduría por encima de poderes

y riquezas. Reconoce que estas dos últimas cosas son

temporales, mientras que la sabiduría perdura. En el

Evangelio Jesús le enseña al hombre rico la misma lec-

ción al señalarle la incompatibilidad de las riquezas con

el Reino de Dios. Éste es nuestro desafío de hoy. De

qué manera son nuestros bienes temporales un ob-

stáculo para nuestra misión y para nuestra meta defini-

tiva? Puede esa espada de los filos, a la cual se refiere

el autor de la carta a la hebreos, separar no que perdura

de lo que se desgasta?

©2018, World Library Publications & Palabras Pastorales

Pregunta de la Semana:

Cómo el apego a mis bienes me impide entrar en el Re-

ino de Dios? De qué manera podría ayudarme Dios?

Bishop DiMarzio has asked that all parishes establish a

Vocations Committee. The purpose of a Vocations

Committee is to meet periodically to discuss prayer

campaigns, distribute materials and other ways that we

can support the members of our Parish who have been

called by our Lord to the religious life, to marry or to

serve in another way. If you would like to participate

in such a committee here at Ascension Parish, please

daytime office hours and leave your name, telephone

number/and e-mail address.

MUSIC MINISTRY

to recruit new members for the parish adult

evenings in the Church at 7:30 p.m. and the choir sings

on Sunday mornings at 10:30 a.m. Attendance at both

times is required for membership. Anyone interested in

becoming a part of this music ministry is asked to con-

tact Mr. Peter Roland at the Rectory Office 718-335-
