Find the Missal (Ordinary of the Mass) at 150 in Oramos Cantando/We Pray in Song
First Reading Wis 7:7-11 I prayed, and prudence was given me; I pleaded, and the spirit of wisdom came to me. I preferred her to scepter and throne, and deemed riches nothing in comparison with her, nor did I liken any priceless gem to her; because all gold, in view of her, is a little sand, and before her, silver is to be accounted mire. Beyond health and comeliness I loved her, and I chose to have her rather than the light, because the splendor of her never yields to sleep. Yet all good things together came to me in her company, and countless riches at her hands. Responsorial Psalm Ps 90 R. Fill us with your love, O Lord, and we will sing for joy! Second Reading Heb 4:12-13 Brothers and sisters: Indeed the word of God is living and effective, sharper than any two-edged sword, penetrating even between soul and spirit, joints and marrow, and able to discern reflections and thoughts of the heart. No creature is concealed from him, but everything is naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must render an account. Gospel Mk 10:17-30 As Jesus was setting out on a journey, a man ran up, knelt down before him, and asked him, "Good teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?" Jesus answered him, "Why do you call me good? No one is good but God alone. You know the commandments: You shall not kill; you shall not commit adultery; you shall not steal; you shall not bear false witness; you shall not defraud; honor your father and your mother." He replied and said to him, "Teacher, all of these I have observed from my youth." Jesus, looking at him, loved him and said to him, "You are lacking in one thing. Go, sell what you have, and give to the poor and you will have treasure in heaven; then come, follow me." At that statement his face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions. Jesus looked around and said to his disciples, "How hard it is for those who have wealth to enter the kingdom of God!" The disciples were amazed at his words. So Jesus again said to them in reply, "Children, how hard it is to enter the kingdom of God! It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for one who is rich to enter the kingdom of God." They were exceedingly astonished and said among themselves, "Then who can be saved?" Jesus looked at them and said, "For human beings it is impossible, but not for God. All things are possible for God." Peter began to say to him, "We have given up everything and followed you." Jesus said, "Amen, I say to you, there is no one who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or lands for my sake and for the sake of the gospel who will not receive a hundred times more now in this present age: houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions, and eternal life in the age to come."
El Misal (Ordinario de la Misa) esta en Oramos Cantando/We
Pray in Song a Partir de 150
Primera lectura Sab 7, 7-11 Supliqué y se me concedió la prudencia; invoqué y vino sobre mí el espíritu de sabiduría. La preferí a los cetros y a los tronos, y en comparación con ella tuve en nada la riqueza. No se puede comparar con la piedra más preciosa, porque todo el oro, junto a ella, es un poco de arena y la plata es como lodo en su presencia. La tuve en más que la salud y la belleza; la preferí a la luz, porque su resplandor nunca se apaga. Todos los bienes me vinieron con ella; sus manos me trajeron riquezas incontables. Salmo Responsorial Salmo 89 R. Sácianos de tu misericordia., Señor, y toda nuestra vida será alegría. Segunda lectura Heb 4, 12-13 Hermanos: La palabra de Dios es viva, eficaz y más penetrante que una espada de dos filos. Llega hasta lo más íntimo del alma, hasta la médula de los huesos y descubre los pensamientos e intenciones del corazón. Toda creatura es transparente para ella. Todo queda al desnudo y al descubierto ante los ojos de aquel a quien debemos rendir cuentas. Evangelio Mc 10, 17-30 En aquel tiempo, cuando salía Jesús al camino, se le acercó corriendo un hombre, se arrodilló ante él y le preguntó: “Maestro bueno, ¿qué debo hacer para alcanzar la vida eterna?” Jesús le contestó: “¿Por qué me llamas bueno? Nadie es bueno sino sólo Dios. Ya sabes los mandamientos: No matarás, no cometerás adulterio, no robarás, no levantarás falso testimonio, no cometerás fraudes, honrarás a tu padre y a tu madre”. Entonces él le contestó: “Maestro, todo eso lo he cumplido desde muy joven”. Jesús lo miró con amor y le dijo: “Sólo una cosa te falta: Ve y vende lo que tienes, da el dinero a los pobres y así tendrás un tesoro en los cielos. Después, ven y sígueme”. Pero al oír estas palabras, el hombre se entristeció y se fue apesadumbrado, porque tenía muchos bienes. Jesús, mirando a su alrededor, dijo entonces a sus discípulos: “¡Qué difícil les va a ser a los ricos entrar en el Reino de Dios!” Los discípulos quedaron sorprendidos ante estas palabras; pero Jesús insistió: “Hijitos, ¡qué difícil es para los que confían en las riquezas, entrar en el Reino de Dios! Más fácil le es a un camello pasar por el ojo de una aguja, que a un rico entrar en el Reino de Dios”. Ellos se asombraron todavía más y comentaban entre sí: “Entonces, ¿quién puede salvarse?” Jesús, mirándolos fijamente, les dijo: “Es imposible para los hombres, mas no para Dios. Para Dios todo es posible”. Entonces Pedro le dijo a Jesús: “Señor, ya ves que nosotros lo hemos dejado todo para seguirte”. Jesús le respondió: “Yo les aseguro: Nadie que haya dejado casa, o hermanos o hermanas, o padre o madre, o hijos o tierras, por mí y por el Evangelio, dejará de recibir, en esta vida, el ciento por uno en casas, hermanos, hermanas, madres, hijos y tierras, junto con persecuciones, y en el otro mundo, la vida eterna”.

28th Sunday in Ordinary Time
Dear friends,
We continue our focus on Christian Stewardship in this month of October. Last Sunday, we were called to make Christ’s
love known to those who are at a distance, in the missions of the Somascan Fathers and we responded in a wonderful way
with our contributions and with our prayers.
This week we look closer to home. We are called to respond in the same way to the needs of our neighbors. The Social
Ministry of St. Pius V is a source of comfort and help for those who are desperate for a sign of God’s love for them
through the generosity of their brothers and sisters in Christ. Each month, with your support, our social ministers feed
hundreds of people through our pantry and provide referrals and assistance to those who would otherwise have no place
else to turn. Our second collection this Sunday is for the support of that Ministry.
The Gospel today calls us, as Jesus called the young man, to generosity and care for the poor as the first step in following
him and Jesus assures us that God will not be outdone in generosity. Whatever we do for His sake and the good of our
brothers and sisters will find its reward in His love.
May we value the Wisdom of God above all things and may the word of God be for us like a two-edged sword, separating
us from all that would prevent us in following Jesus.
Fr. Joe
Queridos amigos,
En este mes de octubre, continuamos nuestro enfoque en la Corresponsabilidad Cristiana. El domingo pasado, estuvimos
llamados para hacer presente el amor de Cristo a los que están lejos, en las misiones de los Padres Somascos y
respondimos de una manera maravillosa con nuestras contribuciones y oraciones.
Esta semana dirigimos nuestra mirada a los que están cerca de nosotros. Estamos llamados a responder de la misma
manera a las necesidades de nuestros vecinos. El Ministerio Social de San Pío V es una fuente del consuelo y de la ayuda
para aquellos que anhelan un signo del amor de Dios por ellos a través de la generosidad de sus hermanos y hermanas en
Cristo. Cada mes, con su apoyo, nuestros ministros alimentan cientos de personas a través de nuestra despensa y
proporcionan las referencias y la asistencia a las personas que de otra manera no tienen ninguna esperanza. Nuestra
segunda colecta de este domingo es para el apoyo de este Ministerio.
El evangelio de hoy nos llama, como Jesús llamó al hombre rico, a la generosidad y al cuidado de los pobres, como el
primer paso en seguirlo y Jesús nos asegura que Dios no se quedará atrás con respecto a la generosidad. Lo que hacemos
por amor a Dios y por el bienestar de nuestros hermanos y hermanas va a encontrar su recompensa en Dios.
Que valoremos la Sabiduría de Dios sobre todas las cosas y que la Palabra de Dios sea para nosotros como una espada de
dos filos para separarnos de todo lo cual nos impediría en el seguimiento de Jesús.
Padre Joe

me, he can work through
