Dear Parishioners, Today's parable gives us an opportunity to reflect on the second coming of Christ and also the time when we will meet the Lord at the end of our own lives. We are also reminded that our life as a Christian began when we were baptized. Through the waters of baptism we were given new life and received the light of Christ from the paschal candle. In the Rite of Baptism for a child, the candle is lit and handed over to the parents or godparents and the priest says, "This light is entrusted to you to be kept burning brightly. He is to walk as a child of the light. May he keep the flame of faith alive in his heart. When the Lord comes, may he go out to meet him with all the saints in the heavenly kingdom." As we grow, this responsibility to keep the flame of faith alive is transferred more and more to each of us. We are to always remember that we are children of the light and we need to nourish the flame received at baptism so it will be burning brightly until the last breath we take. We nourish this flame with prayer, the sacraments, and sharing our faith with others. May we continue to strive to keep that flame alive and burning brightly so that we are prepared to meet the Lord. In Christ, Fr. Jeff Baker
________________________________________________________________________________________ Estimados feligreses, La parábola de hoy nos da la oportunidad de reflexionar sobre la segunda venida de Cristo y también el momento en que nos encontraremos con el Señor al final de nuestras propias vidas. También se nos recuerda que nuestra vida como cristianos comenzó cuando nos bautizamos. A través de las aguas del bautismo se nos dio nueva vida y recibimos la luz de Cristo del cirio pascual. En el Rito del Bautismo de un niño, la vela se enciende y se entrega a los padres o padrinos y el sacerdote dice: "Esta luz se te ha confiado para que la mantengas encendida. Él debe caminar como un niño de la luz. Que mantenga viva la llama de la fe en su corazón. Cuando el Señor venga, salga a su encuentro con todos los santos en el reino celestial.” A medida que crecemos, esta responsabilidad de mantener viva la llama de la fe se transfiere cada vez más a cada uno de nosotros. Siempre debemos recordar que somos hijos de la luz y necesitamos alimentar la llama recibida en el bautismo para que arda intensamente hasta el último aliento que tomemos. Alimentamos esta llama con la oración, los sacramentos y compartiendo nuestra fe con los demás. Que podamos seguir esforzándonos por mantener viva y ardiendo esa llama para que estemos preparados para encontrarnos con el Señor. En Cristo, Padre Jeff Baker

Reading 1 Wis 6:12–16 Resplendent and unfading is wisdom, and she is readily perceived by those who love her, and found by those who seek her. She hastens to make herself known in anticipation of their desire; whoever watches for her at dawn shall not be disappointed, for he shall find her sitting by his gate. For taking thought of wisdom is the perfection of prudence, and whoever for her sake keeps vigil shall quickly be free from care; because she makes her own rounds, seeking those worthy of her, and graciously appears to them in the ways, and meets them with all solicitude. Responsorial Psalm Ps 63:2, 3–4, 5–6, 7–8 R. (2b) My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. O God, you are my God whom I seek; for you my flesh pines and my soul thirsts like the earth, parched, lifeless and without water. R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. Thus have I gazed toward you in the sanctuary to see your power and your glory, For your kindness is a greater good than life; my lips shall glorify you. R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. Thus will I bless you while I live; lifting up my hands, I will call upon your name. As with the riches of a banquet shall my soul be satisfied, and with exultant lips my mouth shall praise you. R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. I will remember you upon my couch, and through the night-watches I will meditate on you: You are my help, and in the shadow of your wings I shout for joy. R. My soul is thirsting for you, O Lord my God. Reading 2 1 Thes 4:13–18 or 4:13–14 In the shorter form of the reading, the passage in brackets is omitted. We do not want you to be unaware, brothers and
sisters, about those who have fallen asleep, so that you may not grieve like the rest, who have no hope. For if we believe that Jesus died and rose, so too will God, through Jesus, bring with him those who have fallen asleep. [ Indeed, we tell you this, on the word of the Lord, that we who are alive, who are left until the coming of the Lord, will surely not precede those who have fallen asleep. For the Lord himself, with a word of command, with the voice of an archangel and with the trumpet of God, will come down from heaven, and the dead in Christ will rise first. Then we who are alive, who are left, will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. Thus we shall always be with the Lord. Therefore, console one another with these words. ] Gospel Mt 25:1–13 Jesus told his disciples this parable: “The kingdom of heaven will be like ten virgins who took their lamps and went out to meet the bridegroom. Five of them were foolish and five were wise. The foolish ones, when taking their lamps, brought no oil with them, but the wise brought flasks of oil with their lamps. Since the bridegroom was long delayed, they all became drowsy and fell asleep. At midnight, there was a cry, ‘Behold, the bridegroom! Come out to meet him!’ Then all those virgins got up and trimmed their lamps. The foolish ones said to the wise, ‘Give us some of your oil, for our lamps are going out.’ But the wise ones replied, ‘No, for there may not be enough for us and you. Go instead to the merchants and buy some for yourselves.’ While they went off to buy it, the bridegroom came and those who were ready went into the wedding feast with him. Then the door was locked. Afterwards the other virgins came and said, ‘Lord, Lord, open the door for us!’ But he said in reply, ‘Amen, I say to you, I do not know you.’ Therefore, stay awake, for you know neither the day nor the hour.”

Primera lectura Sab 6, 12–16 Radiante e incorruptible es la sabiduría; con facilidad la contemplan quienes la aman y ella se deja encontrar por quienes la buscan y se anticipa a darse a conocer a los que la desean. El que madruga por ella no se fatigará, porque la hallará sentada a su puerta. Darle la primacía en los pensamientos es prudencia consumada; quien por ella se desvela pronto se verá libre de preocupaciones. A los que son dignos de ella, ella misma sale a buscarlos por los caminos; se les aparece benévola y colabora con ellos en todos sus proyectos Salmo Responsorial Sal 63 (62), 2. 3–4. 5–6. 7–8 R. (2b) Mi alma está sedienta de ti, Señor, Dios mio. Oh Dios, tú eres mi Dios, por ti madrugo, mi almo está sedienta de ti; mi carne tiene ansia de ti, como tierra reseca, agostada, sin agua. R. Mi alma está sedienta de ti, Señor, Dios mio. ¡Cómo te contemplaba en el santuario viendo tu fuerza y tu gloria! Tu gracia vale más que la vida, te alabarán mis labios. R. Mi alma está sedienta de ti, Señor, Dios mio. Toda mi vida te bendeciré y alzaré las manos invocándote. Me saciarécomo de enjundia y de Manteca, y mis labios te alabarán jubilosos. R. Mi alma está sedienta de ti, Señor, Dios mio. En el lecho me acuerdo de ti y velando medito en ti, porque fuiste mi auxilio, y a la sombra de tus alas canto con júbilo. R. Mi alma está sedienta de ti, Señor, Dios mio
Segunda lectura 1 Tes 4, 13–18 o bien: 1 Tes 4, 13–14 En la forma más corta de la lectura, se omiten los pasajes entre corchetes. Hermanos: No queremos que ignoren lo que pasa con los difuntos, para que no vivan tristes, como los que
no tienen esperanza. Pues, si creemos que Jesús murió y resucitó, de igual manera debemos creer que, a los que murieron en Jesús, Dios los llevará con él. [ Lo que les decimos, como palabra del Señor, es esto: que nosotros, los que quedemos vivos para cuando venga el Señor, no tendremos ninguna ventaja sobre los que ya murieron. Cuando Dios mande que suenen las trompetas, se oirá la voz de un arcángel y el Señor mismo bajará del cielo. Entonces, los que murieron en Cristo resucitarán primero; después nosotros, los que quedemos vivos, seremos arrebatados, juntamente con ellos entre nubes, por el aire, para ir al encuentro del Señor, y así estaremos siempre con él. Consuélense, pues, unos a otros con estas palabras. ]
Evangelio Mt 25, 1–13 En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos esta parábola: “El Reino de los cielos es semejante a diez jóvenes, que tomando sus lámparas, salieron al encuentro del esposo. Cinco de ellas eran descuidadas y cinco, previsoras. Las descuidadas llevaron sus lámparas, pero no llevaron aceite para llenarlas de nuevo; las previsoras, en cambio, llevaron cada una un frasco de aceite junto con su lámpara. Como el esposo tardaba, les entró sueño a todas y se durmieron. A medianoche se oyó un grito: ‘¡Ya viene el esposo! ¡Salgan a su encuentro!’ Se levantaron entonces todas aquellas jóvenes y se pusieron a preparar sus lámparas, y las descuidadas dijeron a las previsoras: ‘Dennos un poco de su aceite, porque nuestras lámparas se están apagando’. Las previsoras les contestaron: ‘No, porque no va a alcanzar para ustedes y para nosotras. Vayan mejor a donde lo venden y cómprenlo’. Mientras aquéllas iban a comprarlo, llegó el esposo, y las que estaban listas entraron con él al banquete de bodas y se cerró la puerta. Más tarde llegaron las otras jóvenes y dijeron: ‘Señor, señor, ábrenos’. Pero él les respondió: ‘Yo les aseguro que no las conozco’. Estén pues, preparados, porque no saben ni el día ni la hora”.

School-Non-Discrimination Policy for 2020-2021 The school, mindful of its mission to be a witness to the love of Christ for all, admits students regardless of race, color, national origin, and/or ethnic origin to all rights, privileges, pro-
grams, and activities generally accorded or made available to students at the school.
The school does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, disability, medical condition, sex, or national and/or ethnic origin in the administration of educational policies and practices, scholarship programs, and athletic and other school-administered programs,
although certain athletic leagues and other programs may limit participation and some archdiocesan schools operate as single-sex schools.
While the school does not discriminate against students with special needs, a full range of services may not always be available to them. Decisions concerning the admission an continued enrollment of a student in the school are based upon the student's
emotional, academic, and physical abilities and the resources available to the school in meeting the student's needs.
