The one who had received five talents came forward bringing the additional five. He said, 'Master, you gave me five talents. See, I have made five more.’ His master said to him, 'Well done, my good and faithful servant. Since you were faithful in small matters, I will give you great responsibilities. Come, share your master's joy.’” Matthew 25: 19-21 Everything we have and everything we become are gifts from God. Like the stewards in the parable, we have been given gifts. Do we develop those gifts and do we share them, or do we “bury” them and really do nothing with them? Those who do the former, return them with increase to the Lord, are not only complimented, but embraced and invited: “Come share your master’s joy.” - See more at: http:// www.thecatholicsteward.com/#sthash.eMoDgO62.dpuf STEWARDSHIP OF TREASURE - NOV 9 Envelopes/Sobres: Plate/Canasta: Maintenance-Upkeep: Funds on deposit with the Diocese: Page 2 $ 9,967.00 $ 946.15 $ 690.00 $166,155.05 PARISH CALENDAR Sunday, November 16 - Domingo, 16 de Noviembre Kids Liturgy St. Joseph Table Holiday Craft Sale 9:00am Parish School of Religion 10:00am RICA 11:00am Ensayo del Coro Hispano 11:00am Escuela de ReligiГіn 1:30pm Ensayo de la Obra de Guadalupe 7:00pm Guadalupe Matachines Dancers Practice 7:00pm High School & Confirmation Monday, November 17 - Lunes, 17 de Noviembre 6:30pm Cub Scouts 6:30pm Marian Prayer Group 7:00pm Boy Scouts Tuesday, November 18 - Martes, 18 de Noviembre 2:15pm Chronic Disease Management Class 7:00pm Boy Scout Committee Meeting 7:00pm Ensayo de la Obra de Guadalupe 7:00pm Living Stones Wednesday, November 19 - MiГ©rcoles, 19 de Noviembre 9:00am Legion of Mary 10:00am Mass at Foxwood Springs 7:00pm Choir Practice 7:00pm ESL (Ingles como Segunda Lengua) 7:00pm Junior High Youth Group 7:00pm Knights of Columbus 1st Degree 7:00pm Talleres de Oracion y Vida Thursday, November 20 - Jueves, 20 de Noviembre 9:30am Quilters 6:00pm Young Adults Group 7:00pm Guadalupe Matachines Dancers Practice 7:00pm Ensayo de la Obra de Guadalupe 7:00pm Parish Pastoral Council 7:00pm RCIA Friday, November 21 - Viernes, 21 de Noviembre 7:00pm Guadalupe Matachines Dancers Practice Saturday, November 22 - SГЎbado, 22 de Noviembre Knights of Columbus Project Grad Lord of Love Bake Sale 3:00pm Confessions Sunday, November 23 - Domingo, 23 de Noviembre Christ the King Leukemia Fundraiser Tomorrow’s Priests: Vocations Fund Lord of Love Bake Sale 9:00am Parish School of Religion 10:00am RICA 11:00am Ensayo del Coro Hispano 11:00am Escuela de ReligiГіn 1:30pm Ensayo de la Obra de Guadalupe 7:00pm Guadalupe Matachines Dancers Practice PASTORAL CARE FROM DEATH TO NEW LIFE DE LA MUERTE A LA NUEVA VIDA PRAYER REQUESTS PETICIONES DE ORACIГ“N †Rose Quijas, wife of Jesse Quijas †Marion Schilling, Rehabilitation of Raymore †Anna Dreiling, mother of Linda Regnier †Wilbur Mitsdarffer, father of Drew Mitsdarffer MAY THEY REST IN PEACE.

This principle of the worth and dignity of all human life is at the core of Catholic social teaching. The JustFaith Ministries Sanctity of ALL Life module engages this teaching and offers extensive action ideas and activities for all of the life issues, including abortion, in vitro fertilization, euthanasia and the death penalty. We are looking to begin this program in January. This program requires a six week commitment. If you are interested in participating, please get in touch with Bridget Hernandez by November 30. 816-979-3159 bridget@stsabinaparish.org.

It’s a good time to remember not only the gift of Jesus, our Savior, from God, but the countless other gifts with which God has blessed us. Without God we would not have our families, our jobs, food on our table, a shelter to stay warm, and life! With the Advent Season quickly approaching, it is a time for us to remember that everything we have is a gift from God, and the best way to thank God for those gifts is by sharing them. For years now, many of our parishioners have shared their blessings by helping others during Advent through donations to our Jesse Tree. We have consistently been able to help the homeless, families in need, and the retired religious. Each week of Advent we have a special Jesse Tree collection, beginning with toys which are donated to Heart-N-Hand to be given out to children whose parents may not be able to afford toys this year. The second week we collect hats, gloves, socks, etc. which Kirstie Roberts takes on the Project Uplift rounds to give to our brothers and sisters who don’t have a warm place to live. The third week we collect canned goods and non-perishable food that we donate to Heart-N-Hand, who then gives it to families in need. The fourth week we do a special monetary collection that goes to help the retired religious. You can help by bringing a donation and placing it under the Jesse Tree, or by helping us to move the donations out of the church. If you can help with moving donations please contact Bridget Hernandez at 816-979-3159 or bridget@stsabinaparish.org. May God bless you and your family this Christmas Season.

ADULT FAITH FORMATION REFLECTION ON THE THIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME, YEAR A One more Sunday and our liturgical year comes to a close. The focus for these last few Sundays of the Liturgical year is the end times, the final encounter between God and humanity in which a final assessment of one’s life and actions will take place. Traditionally we have made this part of God’s job description. Today’s readings remind us rather clearly that we take a very active part in the final encounter with God. The fear of the Lord seems to dominate the readings. Psalm 128 focuses our thoughts with its refrain, “Blessed are those who fear the Lord.” The fear of God is not one of dread or trembling but rather one of awe, reverence, respect and majesty. Such fear is affirmed as the “beginning of wisdom.” The first reading from the book of Proverbs praises and blesses a woman for her role as a worthy wife, but most especially for her ability to “fear the Lord.” Why such praise? Because anyone who “fears the Lord” acknowledges the mystery, grandeur and majesty of God. Such people seek to know, understand and gain wisdom into the meaning and purpose of life, the purpose for which we were created. For all human beings, such wisdom leads to recognition of God’s many blessings to us, most especially in terms of work and family. Paul, in his First Letter to the Thessalonians, reminds us that often we are worried about many things that we can do nothing about. This leads to stress, confusion and misunderstanding of what is really important in life. In Christ, we have become “children of the light and children of the day.” By focusing on Christ and living in his light, we gain the wisdom we need to focus on what is important in our relationship to God and others. We will remain “alert and sober”, always attuned to God’s desires and intentions and to what needs to be done so that even more light can be cultivated. Matthew’s parable of the talents can be interpreted in many ways. The original intent of the parable as taught by Jesus during his public ministry addressed the injustice and oppression of the poor by the rich. It was understood that the rich got richer by oppressing and stealing from the poor. The first two servants act as retainers, assisting the rich in oppressing others by gaining more wealth for the master, thus cooperating in the rampant economic injustice. The third servant refuses to oppress others by not cooperating in this unjust system. By boldly questioning his master’s greed, oppression and injustice, the third servant returns to his master what was his to begin with and nothing more. For this he is severely reprimanded and punished. Such is the fate of any person who dares to question injustice and oppression, especially in the realm of economics and the bottom line. Read this way, the parable severely challenges our current economic system and all those who cooperate in getting rich by oppressing the poor. Matthew, sixty years after Jesus, refashions this parable into an allegory about the end times. In light of the end times, it takes on a different meaning than it had during the ministry of Jesus. The parable fashions the master as God who entrusts us with gifts to be used for building up God’s people. The praised disciples are those who use their gifts wisely, boldly and faithfully, willing to take risks and be creative in the use of their gifts for building up God’s people. Such disciples are willing to reach out to others, even when inconvenient, challenging or costly, in order that God’s care and love can be manifested. Such disciples are prophetic, willing to challenge the status quo so that justice and right relationship prevail. Such disciples do not bury their gifts or hold on blindly to custom or tradition for fear of not getting it right. Rather they trust enough in God’s wisdom and light to be willing to take risks for God and others. Both interpretations of the parable uphold Jesus’ Jewish values which always favor justice, concern for all, most especially the poor, marginalized and the powerless. Reflect on how you live out these values as you prepare for the end times.

Peppers may even improve your muscle-to-fat ratio by inhibiting the production of fat cells. Garnish with dill weed or chives.

LITURGIA DE NIГ‘OS CORRESPONSABILIDAD CORRESPONSABILIDAD ARBOL DE JESE ENFOCADA AL Navidad es una Г©poca para celebrar la generosidad. Es un buen momento para recordar no sГіlo el regalo de JesГєs, nuestro Salvador, de parte de Dios pero tambien los otros innumerables regalos con los que Dios nos ha bendecido. Sin Dios no tendrГamos nuestras familias, nuestros trabajos, la comida en nuestra mesa, un hogar donde no hace frio, y la vida! Con el tiempo de Adviento acercГЎndose rГЎpidamente, es un momento para recordar que todo lo que tenemos es un regalo de Dios, y la mejor manera de agradecer a Dios por esos regalos es compartiГ©ndolos. Desde hace aГ±os, muchos de nuestros feligreses han compartido sus bendiciones ayudando a otros durante el Adviento a travГ©s de las donaciones a nuestro ГЎrbol de JesГ©. Hemos podido ayudar cada aГ±o a las personas sin hogar, familias necesitadas, y los religiosos jubilados. Cada semana del Adviento tenemos una colecciГіn especial del ГЎrbol de JesГ©, comenzando con los juguetes que son donados a Heart-N-Hand dados a los niГ±os cuyos padres no pueden pagar los juguetes para Navidad este aГ±o. La segunda semana son gorros, guantes, calcetines, etc., que Kirstie Roberts lleva al Proyecto Uplift para dar a nuestros hermanos y hermanas que no tienen un lugar cГЎlido para vivir. La tercera semana hacemos una colecta monetaria especial que va a ayudar a los religiosos jubilados. La ultima semana son alimentos enlatados que donamos a Heart-N-Hand, que luego se lo da a las familias necesitadas. Puede ayudar al traer una donaciГіn y colocarlo bajo el ГЎrbol de JesГ©, o ayudarnos a mover las donaciones de la iglesia. Si usted puede ayudar con el movimiento de donaciones por favor pГіngase en contacto con Bridget HernГЎndez al 816-979-3159 o bridget@stsabinaparish.org. Que Dios les bendiga a usted y a su familia esta temporada de Navidad. LECTURAS Los niГ±os de la Escuela de ReligiГіn compartirГЎn sus dones dentro de la liturgia una vez al mes.
