All Good Gifts

November beckons to us in many deep ways. The overwhelming Invitation

is to enter more deeply into a state of gratefulness that originates in a

listening heart. The month begins with remembering and being grateful for

the saints, those who have died and those who have served-the veterans.

Thankfulness is often the first step. It can grow deeper and become an

interior disposition of gratefulness.

According to Benedictine Brother David Steindl-Rast, Grateful Living is

awareness of all that is present and abundant in one’s life– from the tiniest

things of beauty to the grandest of our blessings – and in so doing, to take

nothing for granted. We can learn to focus our attention on, and

acknowledge, that all of life is a gift. Even in the most challenging times,

living gratefully makes us aware of, and available to, the opportunities that

are always available; opportunities to learn and grow, and to extend

ourselves with care and compassion to others .

Brother David states that “you think this is just another day in your life. It’s

not just another day. It is the one day that is given to you. Today. It’s a gift,

it’s the only gift that you have right now and the only appropriate response

is gratefulness. If you learn to respond as if today were the first day of your

life and the very last day, then you will have spent this day very well. Begin

by opening your eyes and be surprised as you see the incredible array of

colors that is constantly offered to us for our pure enjoyment. Look at the

sky. It’s so very rarely we look at the sky. Do we know how different it is

from moment to moment, clouds come and go? Open your eyes, look at

the faces of people you meet. each one has an

incredible story behind the face, a story that you

could never fully fathom. Not only their own story

but the story of their ancestors.”

Five hundred years ago, St. Ignatius Loyola invited

people to thank God for who they are and for all that

has been given in a prayer called the Examen.

Ignatius stated that if you could only say one prayer,

then begin with the Examen, to find the movement

of God in one’s life and that will affect all the moments that follow.

The Examen is a peaceful daily reflective prayer usually happening at the

end of the day. The Prayer of Examen takes about fifteen minutes at the

end of the day and involves three parts. Find a place you can relax and be

comfortable.

1. Ask God to bring to your awareness the moment today for which you are

most grateful.

* If you could relive one moment, which one would it be?

* When were you most able to give and receive love today?

* Ask yourself what was said and done in that moment that made it so

good.

2. Ask God to bring to your awareness the moment today for which you are

least grateful.

* When were you least able to give and receive love?

* Ask yourself what was said and done in that moment that made it so

difficult.

* Relive the feelings without trying to change or fix it in any way.

3. Give thanks for whatever you have experienced. It is helpful to record

your thoughts in a journal. Rereading these notes will help you see God’s

grace at work in your life even when things seemed impossible.

Currently, we are on the threshold between seasons in the Church year. It

is hard to miss the physical transitions of the

seasons, a visible reminder that even among the

most predictable rhythms and routines of our lives,

change is always happening. The events of our

moments, days, weeks, years form us and transform

us.

Now we are at the end of the Church Year. The

following is a reflective review of that year. Before

you begin, identify some major markers of your year,

such as the beginning of the OPV grouping, new

faces (clergy, staff, people in the pews), changes in the Mass schedule,

whatever happened to “we always did it this way”, OPV Festival, births,

deaths, weddings, to name a few that will orient yourself to the time period.

As I review the past 12 months, from a year ago through to the

present moment - What am I especially grateful for this year?

* An event that took place

* Courage that I mustered

* Love and support I received

I ask for the light to know God and to know myself as God sees

me.

* Where have I felt true joy this year?

* What troubled me this year?

* What has challenged me?

* Where and when did I find an opportunity for renewal and pause.

Have I noticed God's presence in any of this?

In light of my review, what is my response to the God of my life?

* As I look ahead, to the coming months, what comes to mind?

* With what spirit do I want to enter the next few months, the next

year?

I ask for God's presence and grace, for this spirit, as I enter the

next year.

Amen

SCRIPTURE READINGS FOR OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST, KING OF THE UNIVERSE

CON DIOS NO TODO ESTÁ A UN CLICK DE DISTANCIA. 3 TIPS PARA

MEJORAR TU RELACIÓN CON ÉL (segunda parte)

2. Mi tiempo no es el mismo tiempo de Dios:

Un ejemplo claro es pretender tener el poder de resolver y controlar estas

dimensiones con facilidad y rapidez, como hacemos tantas veces a través de

una nueva aplicación que nos permite comunicar, contactar, pagar, transar,

etc, todo con un simple “click”, entonces estamos por el camino equivocado.

No es infrecuente que personas bien intencionadas busquen métodos,

ejercicios o estrategias para su vida espiritual (o para su apostolado)

adoleciendo propio de este vicio. Entran al Santísimo con una pila de libros

como quien busca resolver los problemas en pocos minutos y con sus propias

fuerzas. Pero con Dios las reglas son otras, incluso tantas veces inversamente

proporcionales a las reglas del mercado: aquí las dificultades, los errores, los

sufrimientos y los tiempos largos, son más bien la condición, no para resolver,

sino para ser «resueltos» por la gracia de Dios.

Estos límites, si son bien aceptados, nos dan acceso al gran misterio de la

Cruz de Cristo, es decir, a la profundidad incolmable de su amor. Entonces

crecemos de verdad a nivel espiritual y aprendemos en la humildad lo que

significa que Dios es el dueño de nuestras vidas (del tiempo y del espacio).

3. Dejemos que sea Él quien lave nuestras heridas:

Si somos totalmente conscientes de que Dios es el capitán de nuestro barco,

pueden surgir también auténticas relaciones con los demás, pues nadie da lo

que no tiene. Solo podemos amar al prójimo como nos amamos a nosotros

mismos, y solo podemos amarnos a nosotros mismos con profundidad si es

que, descubriéndonos necesitados, incapaces, frágiles, pecadores y limitados,

nos abrimos repetidamente con paciencia, lentitud y fatiga, a la misericordia de

Dios.

Esa misericordia que nos salva, perdonándonos, y nos perdona amándonos;

esa misericordia que una y otra vez nos lava y sana las heridas en una fragua

eterna, permitiéndonos vivir lo que enseñaba el Maestro: “ha amado mucho,

porque mucho le ha sido perdonado” (Cfr. Lc7,47). Es en estas dimensiones,

espacios o estructuras del Espíritu donde se juega por sobre todo nuestra

felicidad y la verdadera transformación, revolución o progreso del mundo,

porque otras son las medidas donde nace, germina y crece el pequeño Reino -

de noche, de manera casi imperceptible, como una brisa ligera- lo demás se

nos dará por añadidura (Cfr. Lc12,31).

La riqueza de una relación viva con el Espíritu de Dios es un regalo inmenso

que no podemos dejar pasar, si quieres profundizar en el tema puedes hacer

click en la conferencia. Pídele a Dios en este momento que llene tu corazón de

paciencia para esperar desde el amor y no desde la inmediatez.

READING I 2 SM 5:1-3

In those days, all the tribes of Israel came to David in Hebron and said:

"Here we are, your bone and your flesh. In days past, when Saul was

our king, it was you who led the Israelites out and brought them back.

And the LORD said to you, 'You shall shepherd my people Israel and

shall be commander of Israel.'" When all the elders of Israel came to

David in Hebron, King David made an agreement with them there before

the LORD, and they anointed him king of Israel.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM PS 122:1-2, 3-4, 4-5

R. Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.

I rejoiced because they said to me,

"We will go up to the house of the LORD."

And now we have set foot

within your gates, O Jerusalem.

R. Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.

Jerusalem, built as a city

with compact unity.

To it the tribes go up,

the tribes of the LORD.

R. Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.

According to the decree for Israel,

to give thanks to the name of the LORD.

In it are set up judgment seats,

seats for the house of David.

R. Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord.

READING 2 COL 1:12-20

Brothers and sisters: Let us give thanks to the Father,

who has made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light.

He delivered us from the power of darkness and transferred us to the

kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the

forgiveness of sins.

He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation.

For in him were created all things in heaven and on earth,

the visible and the invisible, whether thrones or dominions or

principalities or powers; all things were created through him and for him.

He is before all things, and in him all things hold together.

He is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn

from the dead, that in all things he himself might be preeminent.

For in him all the fullness was pleased to dwell, and through him to

reconcile all things for him, making peace by the blood of his cross

through him, whether those on earth or those in heaven.

R. Alleluia, alleluia. MK 11:9, 10

Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!

Blessed is the kingdom of our father David that is to come!

R. Alleluia, alleluia.

GOSPEL LK 23:35-43

The rulers sneered at Jesus and said, "He saved others, let him save

himself if he is the chosen one, the Christ of God."

Even the soldiers jeered at him. As they approached to offer him wine

they called out, "If you are King of the Jews, save yourself."

Above him there was an inscription that read, "This is the King of the

Jews."

Now one of the criminals hanging there reviled Jesus, saying,

"Are you not the Christ? Save yourself and us."

The other, however, rebuking him, said in reply,

"Have you no fear of God, for you are subject to the same

condemnation?

And indeed, we have been condemned justly, for the sentence we

received corresponds to our crimes, but this man has done nothing

criminal." Then he said, "Jesus, remember me when you come into

your kingdom." He replied to him, "Amen, I say to you, today you will be

with me in Paradise."

OPV CATHOLIC FINANCIAL REPORT

Senior's -- Let's Celebrate

Join us for our annual luncheon at Pugliano's on Golden Mile

Highway in Plum on December 3 at 12:30 p.m. Price per

person is $20 and includes, lunch, beverage, and dessert

(and of course you just may win a prize!) Call early to reserve

space as we have a private room booked and reservations

will end once room capacity is met.

Contact Irene at 724-733-8146 or

Email sos@opvcatholic.org.

The event is sponsored by the social

activities area of SOS (Serving Our Seniors) Ministry.

BAPTISM MINISTRY IN NEED OF VOLUNTEERS

The OPV Catholic Baptism Ministry is looking for new volunteers

to assist in a variety of areas. We are seeking volunteers at each parish to

serve as Baptism Hosts. A Baptism Host attends a baptism and assists in

greeting the family attending, as well as assists the priest or deacon in

gathering materials. Baptisms typically always follow the latest Sunday

morning Mass at each parish and only last about thirty minutes. With

enough volunteers, you would only have to serve every other month and

only if there is a scheduled baptism.

As we become one parish, it is essential to integrate the many and varied

traditions of the five individual parishes in a cohesive, meaningful

expression of our union that can be practiced in all of the Church buildings.

This applies to various practices, in particular, the White Garment Ministry.

The expression of the Baptismal white garment has been varied among our

parishes. In order to be receptive to the input of others, a meeting will be

schedule in the near future.

If you have any questions or if you would be interested in

volunteering as a Baptism Host , please contact Steph Williams by calling

the Religious Education Office or email reled@opvcatholic.org.

33 Days to Morning Glory is a Catholic do-it-yourself retreat that has

become popular in the last few years. It is a Consecration to Jesus

through Mary. Several individuals and prayer groups have taken the

opportunity to go through this retreat over 33 days. The book to guide

your retreat has been given to us by the author Father Michael Gaitley

and the Marian Missionaries of Divine Mercy. Copies are available in

English at each of our five churches and in Spanish at St. John the

Baptist and Our Lady of Joy, on the entrance tables. For those who have

purchased the book previously, note that the copy on the tables is the

same content, but printed in magazine format which reduces the cost of

printing.

Parishioners wanting to join a study group can complete the form below,

and return in the collection or to a parish office and we will try to match

up others interested in the same area. Individuals and groups can begin

anytime they would like; though Advent is a great time to end, preferably

on one of the Marian feast days.

The simple chart listed to the right

shows when one would begin so as

to end 33 days later on the Marian

feast. It would be great if we could

share that our five parishes have

consecrated themselves to Jesus

through Mary over the next year as

we work to become one parish

united in faith in Jesus Christ!

CHRISTMAS DAY HELP NEEDED - SOS

For the past four (4) years the SOS (Serving Our Seniors) Ministry at Our

Lady of Joy has conducted a Christmas Brunch on Christmas Day from 11:00

AM to 1:00 PM. The main purpose of the Christmas Brunch is to provide a

meal for those struggling financially, the elderly, the homeless, anyone living

alone and basically anyone who may want to come and not eat alone on

Christmas Day. The Brunch is open to both Parishioners and non-

parishioners. Each year we serve about 200 meals along with an additional

200 meals that we send home with attendees plus dozens of Christmas

cookies donated by parishioners.

This will be the first year that this will be an OPV Christmas Brunch. We are in

need of volunteers to assist us on Christmas Day. We will need help preparing

take-out meals, serving, welcoming and greeting, hall setup, cleanup, parking,

home deliveries, etc. Each year we have received an overwhelming response

from parishioners to volunteer for the Brunch. Due to this response we have

scheduled one (1) hour shifts in order to provide everyone with the opportunity

to volunteer at the Brunch.

Please use this link to volunteer if your schedule permits OPV Xmas Brunch at

OLOJ Dec 24/25, 2019 . Hope to hear from you and Merry Christmas,

Sal Altomare 412-780-6929 . Bill Molyneaux 412-215-0560.
