All are invited to join us for weekly Mass in the chapel, sponsored by Loyola House for the intention of Fjola Salerno. This will be a Tridentine (Latin) Mass, said by a priest from the Mater Dei Latin Mass Community of Harrisburg. The Latin Mass was the liturgy celebrated by Catholics

commonplace, version of the liturgy, and all are welcome to join us.

Gospel for Sunday, November 11, 2018--32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time
In the course of his teaching Jesus said to the crowds, "Beware of the scribes, who like to go around in long robes and accept greetings in the marketplaces, seats of honor in synagogues, and places of honor at banquets. They devour the houses of widows and, as a pretext recite lengthy prayers. They will receive a very severe condemnation." He sat down opposite the treasury and observed how the crowd put money into the treasury. Many rich people put in large sums. A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents. Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them, "Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth, but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood."
--Mark 12:38-44

Reflection
Following Jesus requires us to empty ourselves of our will and allowing the will of God to prevail. This emptying is known as
kenosis. Jesus practiced this by accepting our humanity and dying on the cross to restore our relationship with our Heavenly Father. We are called to practice this through sacrificial love for God and neighbor. As we journey closer to Thanksgiving, let us seek opportunities to share from our surplus and give out of true charity.

Saint of the Week--Saint Martin of Tours, November 11
Saint Martin of Tours is often depicted as a soldier mounted on a horse sharing his cloak with a poor man. He became a monk and then a bishop, but he never lost his love for the poor. He spent a good deal of energy fighting for the Church and for mercy toward heretics.

Prayer for the Week - Veterans Day Prayer
Lord God, Almighty Father, creator of mankind and author of peace, as we are ever mindful of the cost paid for the liberty we possess, we ask You to bless the members of our armed forces. Give them courage, hope, and strength. May they ever experience Your firm support, gentle love, and compassionate healing. Be their power and protector, leading them from darkness to light.
To You be all glory, honor, and praise, now and forever.
