CCE/ 1ST COMMUNION
Gospel: Mark 13:24-32
Adults: If I were meeting Jesús tomorrow, what would I do differently?
Children: What can I do to become a better disciple of Jesus?
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION November is a month of remembrance for the dead, and cemeteries have long been a focus for prayer. Our tradition holds great respect for bodily remains, since the body was created and redeemed by God, was once the “dwelling place of the Holy Spirit,” and has a destiny of life with God in glory. The funeral practices of the early church contrasted greatly with those of the pagans, who had a great dread of the dead body. The ancient Christian funeral liturgy ended with the relatives and friends giving a final kiss to the body. It expressed affection and showed their faith that the grave would not be the last word. This kiss horrified pagans, who thought that any contact with the dead was degrading. Every year on their loved one’s “birthday to life,” the Christians would return to the place of their burial to mark their profound communion with those whose lives were hid-den in Christ. Typically, they buried the dead with their faces turned toward the east, symbolizing the rising of the Sun of Justice, Christ, at the end of days. They were attracted to the catacombs or burial grounds just as we are today. They would often celebrate the Eucharist at the tomb. Before long, as soon as Christians were allowed to build places for worship, they relocated cemeteries from beyond the city walls to surround the church. This was not so much because the church made the ground holy, but because the bodies of the saints hallowed the ground on which the church was built, a subtle but beautiful difference. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El 19 de noviembre del 1969 (Día del Descubrimiento de Puerto Rico), el Papa Pablo VI declaró a Nuestra Seño-ra Madre de la Divina Providencia, como patrona de la Isla del Encanto. Este acto fue el culmen de un largo pro-ceso devocional hacia la Madre de la Divina Providencia empezado por el obispo Catalán Gil Esteve y Tomás quien trajo la primera imagen de la Virgen a la isla Boricua. La imagen actual es de María sentada con su Hijo (la Divina Providencia) dormido sobre su regazo. Ella sostie-ne la manita izquierda del niño en sus manos mientras lo mira cariñosamente. La imagen inspira ternura y muestra la confianza de María en la Divina Providencia de su Hijo, que aunque este dormido, no se descuida de ella ni de los fieles. Esta imagen recuerda el pasaje bíblico en el cual Je-sús dormía en la barca de Pedro, despertando a tiempo para calmar los mares y los vientos que la amenazaban. He aquí que la devoción a la Madre de la Divina Providen-cia es confiar que Dios siempre llega a nuestro amparo cuando lo invocamos. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time: That we continue to de-velop and nurture our gifts and give back with increase. “And then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.” (Mark 13:26) We will all have that day when we are standing before God and our life is played out like a movie. When this happens and God asks each of us, “What have you done with the gifts that I have given you?” How will you respond? 33º domingo del tiempo ordinario: Que continuemos desarrollando y nutriendo nuestros dones y devolviéndolos con aumento. "Y entonces verán al Hijo del hombre venir en las nubes con gran poder y gloria" (Marcos 13:26) Todos tendremos ese día en que nos encontramos ante Dios y nuestra vida se desarrolla como una película. Cuando esto sucede y Dios nos pregunta a cada uno de nosotros: "¿Qué has hecho con los dones que te he dado?" ¿Cómo respond-erás?
