Our Lady of Good Counsel Catholic Church 620 Fifth St. Aurora, Illinois 60505 www.ourladyofgoodcounsel.net O November 16, 2014 MISSION STATEMENT ur Lady of Good Counsel Church in Aurora, Illinois, is a diverse and unified community of ChristвЂ™s disciples living our CatholicChristian faith through worship, fellowship and service bringing GodвЂ™s transforming love to our parish and our world. вЂњThe Year of GraceвЂќ Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish вЂў 2 When I hear the Gospel reading for this Sunday, I wonder what that third servant was doing all that time, after he buried the talent he was given. Probably nothing. What strikes me is that the word for money in this reading is вЂњtalent,вЂќ which in our language is an ability or skill. So maybe this parable can remind us to use our abilities and not let them go to waste. It is sad to see someone who is not very good at his job just because he never developed his inborn talents. But if you know what gifts or abilities God gave you, you can develop them to be much more than you expected. A person might be strong and fast, but if she exercises and practices, she could be a great athlete. The same with a spiritual gift. Just having one doesnвЂ™t make you a saint. So how do you know what gifts you have? First, ask God in your prayers to show you what gifts you have been given. Find a spiritual director, or even your parish priest, and talk about your life, your strengths and weaknesses. Read about saints and how they used their gifts to serve the Lord. Read the scriptures, especially the Acts of the Apostles or the Letters of Paul (e.g., 1 Corinthians 12:1вЂ“11). Listen humbly to friends or loved ones who can tell you what strengths they see in you. Second, look for ways to use your gifts. Check the parish bulletin ministry or your diocesan newspaper for activities and organizations that you could take part in. Hospitals, schools, shelters, and nursing homes frequently offer opportunities for volunteers. If one kind of service seems attractive to you, that could be GodвЂ™s way of telling you to try it. On the other hand, a job that seems very challenging could be what you need to stretch your spiritual muscles. Or you may see a need for some service that you can get started in the parish or community. Just remember that you are called to service by your baptism and confirmation. DonвЂ™t bury that calling by procrastinating or being afraid to try. Remember the вЂњuseless servantвЂќ with the one talent who was fearful and lazy (Matthew 25:25вЂ“26). At least he can remind us to use it or lose it. Al escuchar la lectura del Evangelio de este domingo, me pregunto lo que el tercer siervo estaba haciendo todo ese tiempo, despuГ©s de que Г©l enterrГі el talento que se le dio. Probablemente nada. Lo que me llama la atenciГіn es que la palabra-dinero en esta lectura es "talento", que en nuestro lenguaje es una capacidad o habilidad. AsГ que tal vez esta parГЎbola nos puede recordar a utilizar nuestras habilidades y no dejarlos perder. Es triste ver a alguien que no es muy bueno en su trabajo sГіlo porque Г©l nunca desarrollГі sus talentos innatos. Pero si ustedes saben que dones o habilidades Dios les dio, ustedes puedes desarrollarlos mucho mГЎs de lo esperado. Una persona puede ser fuerte y rГЎpida, pero si ella hace ejercicio y prГЎctica, esta persona podrГa ser un gran atleta. Lo mismo pasa con un don espiritual. SГіlo tener uno no te convierte en un santo. Entonces, ВїcГіmo usted puede saber quГ© regalos tiene? En primer lugar, es pedir a Dios en sus oraciones que le muestre que regalos le a dado. Encontrar un director espiritual, o incluso su pГЎrroco, y hablar acerca de su vida, sus fortalezas y debilidades. Lea acerca de los santos y de la forma en que usan sus dones para servir al SeГ±or. Leer las Escrituras, especialmente los Hechos de los ApГіstoles o de las cartas de Pablo (por ejemplo, 1 Corintios 12: 1-11). Escuchar con humildad a sus amigos o seres queridos que le puede decir quГ© fortalezas ven en usted. En segundo lugar, buscar formas de usar sus dones. Revise en el boletГn de la parroquia de los ministerios que usted puede ayudar o el periГіdico diocesano para actividades y organizaciones que usted podrГa participar. Los hospitales, escuelas, casas de ancianos, que con frecuencia ofrecen oportunidades para voluntarios. Si un tipo de servicio le parece atractivo, podrГa ser la manera que Dios le estГЎ diciendo que lo intente. Por otro lado, un trabajo que parece muy difГcil podrГa ser lo que usted necesita para estirar sus mГєsculos espirituales. O puede ver una necesidad de algГєn servicio que usted puede conseguir comenzado en la parroquia o su comunidad. Solo recuerde que usted es llamado al servicio mediante el bautismo y la confirmaciГіn. No entierre a este llamado por tener miedo a probar. Recuerde al "siervo inГєtil", que con un talento estaba temeroso y perezoso (Mateo 25: 25-26). Por lo menos, nos recuerdan que, o se utiliza o se pierde. Living GodвЂ™s Word Vivamos la Palabra de Dios En la primera carta a la comunidad tesalonicense San Pablo le dice que вЂњ el dГa del SeГ±or vendrГЎ como un ladrГіn en plena nocheвЂќ ( 1 Tesalonicenses 5:2). Dios vendrГЎ a robarse la vida tal como ahora la conocemos. Sin embargo, si en ese momento tomamos la vida tal como llega, tal vez algo nuevo pudiera nacer en nosotros. In his first letter to the Thessalonian community Saint Paul says that вЂњthe day of the Lord will come like a thief at nightвЂќ- God will come stealing life as we know it (1 Thessalonians 5:2). If however, we pick it up and run with it at that point, perhaps something new can be born in us. The Parish Office will be closed on Thursday, November, 27 and Friday, November 28 in observance of Thanksgiving Day. L La Oficina de la Parroquia estarГЎ cerrada el dГa Jueves 27 y Viernes 28 de Noviembre en ObservaciГіn del DГa de AcciГіn de Gracias.

Stewardship Reflection вЂњWell done, good and faithful servant; you have been faithful over a little, I will set you over muchвЂ¦вЂќ- Matthew 25:21 ReflexiГіn de Corresponsabilidad вЂњBien, siervo bueno y fiel; en lo poco fuiste fiel, sobre mucho te pondrГ©вЂ¦вЂќ- Mateo 25:21 God expects us to nurture and develop the gifts He has given us and then generously give back with increase. He doesnвЂ™t want us to waste or hoard the gifts He has given us; He expects us to grow our gifts, use them wisely and be generous with them. Dios espera que alimentemos y desarrollemos los dones que Г‰l nos ha dado y luego generosamente devolver con aumento. Г‰l no quiere que acumulemos los dones que nos ha dado; Г‰l espera que cultivemos esos dones y los usemos sabiamente y que seamos generosos con ellos.

BULLETIN DEADLINES Our Lady of Good Counsel School Enrichment Days are much anticipated at Our Lady of Good Counsel School, and the students were excited to participate in their one a few weeks ago. Enrichment Days are special days at OLGC, with interactive and unique project-focused curriculum. The students spent the entire day learning more about different parts of the world by going from classroom to classroom and being вЂњimmersedвЂќ in that particular world area. Several countries and parts of the world were represented; Africa, Philippines, France, and studies on different land-forms (such as volcanos). The second grade was able to construct a replica of the Eiffel Tower with spaghetti noodles and marshmallows and the entire school used sidewalk chalk to draw different county flags on the school grounds. Again, thanks to the Meemic Foundation, for providing the grant money to assist in these special activities! Planning for the Holidays. The bulletin deadlines are changing for the holiday.

Vocations Corner by Rev. Keith Romke Go To The Source! A little while back I encountered an inspiring priest who was really good at magic tricks. He pulled out a rope and began to amaze a group of us with his tricks. He then got a big smile on his face, and simply asked the group: вЂњIf you want to find out the trick, if you wanted to find out how to do it, how it works, who would you ask? Would you ask your friend next to you? You might, but this wouldnвЂ™t get you anywhere because they donвЂ™t know the trick. If you want to know how things work, you need to go to the source.вЂќ He then continued to explain that even though his tricks might at first glance be so tricky that we canвЂ™t figure them out, that most of the time, life can be even trickier. And where is it that we tend to turn when life is difficult or tricky? IвЂ™ll admit that I go to all kinds of places to get answers as to how to fix my problems. While the whole time the one who truly knows the answers (GOD!) is simply waiting for me to ask. And unlike Magicians who donвЂ™t tell their secrets, God will reveal whatever is best for us because He loves us and He never tries to trick us. So, if you want to know the answers to the questions surrounding your life, go to the source!
