Please call the office. Meetings are staring in November. Reflection of the Week Most of us are accustomed to being called Christians — that is, followers of Christ. However, the Lord’s first followers were not called by that name at all. It was not until many years after His Crucifixion and Resurrection that the term Christian became popularly used. There is a subtle, yet profound reference and statement in today’s Gospel from St. Mark, a reading which presents to us the healing of a blind man. After Jesus has responded to the blind man’s calls for mercy and healing, and the Lord has told him that it was his faith which had saved him, the Gospel tells us of the former blind man, “Immediately he received his sight and followed him (Jesus) on the way.” What is noteworthy about this is at that time and for the first years after Jesus’ Resurrection, His disciples were called “followers of the way.” They recognized Jesus as the way to live and the way to salvation. (Jesus stated more than once, “I am the way.”) Thus, the man became not just healed but a follower of the Lord. Jesus healed the man on His way from Jericho to Jerusalem, where He would be crucified. The man most likely was with Him all the way. Would we be willing to follow the Lord on such a journey? That is exactly what He is asking us to do. 278th Sunday in Ordinary Time Collection/ Colecta Semanal Regular $2280.00 Building Fund $717.00 Thank You ! ¡Gracias!

Simon and Jude Saturday: Blessed Virgin Mary TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION In the tangled but fascinating history of penance in the Church, the Irish “tariff” system helped us survive the collapse of the old system of public canonical penance and prepared the way for a new system that emerged in the twelfth century. The old form was unrepeatable, public, dealt with serious community matters, and regulated by the bishops as chief reconcilers. The new form had a more intimate setting of penitent and confessor, was extremely repeatable, and applied to everyone. The old canonical form was closed to children, who were hardly capable of the very grown‑up sins listed, or their demanding remedies. The old form was likewise closed to clerics, who were protected in a sense by the very nature of the discipline. In the new Irish form the penitent directly named sins, or answered direct questions by the priest. Sometimes, the penitent would recite a long formula accusing him- or herself in a general way of all sorts of sins, even from the distant past. Next, priest and penitent together would lie prostrate before the altar and recite several of the psalms with penitential themes. Finally, the priest would pronounce a judgment, deciding what form and duration the penance should take, normally insisting that the person return for reconciliation once the penances —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. were completed. Primera lectura — ¡Vitoreen con alegría! Yavé ha salvado a su pueblo, al resto de Israel. He llegado a ser un padre para Israel (Jeremías 31:7-9). Salmo — Grandes cosas has hecho por nosotros, Señor (Salmo 126 [125]). Segunda lectura — Cristo no se atribuyó la dignidad de sumo sacerdote, sino que se la otorgó aquel que dice: “Tú eres mi Hijo, te he dado vida hoy mismo” (Hebreos 5:1-6). Evangelio — Jesús le concede la vista a Bartimeo cuando con gran fe le suplica: “Maestro, que vea” (Marcos 10:46-52).

Todos los cristianos deseamos ser salvados. Y, ¿qué es la salvación? La palabra “salvación” viene del latín salus que también significa “salud”. La salvación es el bienestar en todas sus formas. Es el estar bien con Dios, con las demás personas, con la creación y consigo mismo. Los hebreos le llaman shalom y los árabes llaman salam que quiere decir: “paz y bien”. Por siglos y hasta el presente, el saludo de los pueblos semitas es: “La paz sea contigo”. Se responde “Y también contigo”. Según Jesús este shalom, salam, salus, salvación, paz y bien se consigue por medio de la fe. Hay que tener un deseo profundo de tenerlo, para así pedirlo: “Jesús, Hijo de David, ten piedad de mí” (Marcos 10:47). La salvación no llega a quienes la esperan sentados en una iglesia, más bien, llega a los que se mueven y obran por ella. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
