Christmas Shoebox – The main reason to pack a shoebox is to ensure that children from the poorest families of the world know that someone cares, which is demonstrated by receiving a shoebox that is filled with toys, school supplies and personal care items. Shoeboxes can be picked up at the back of the church, more have been ordered, also an ordinary shoebox can be used. All shoeboxes must be at the church before or on November 16.

Scripture Insights – Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time Taken from Source Book for Sundays, Seasons and Weekdays 2025: The Almanac for Pastoral Liturgy, LTP Liturgy Training Publications Copyright 2024, 3949 South Racine Avenue, Chicago, IL 60609, pg. 378. Luke’s eschatological discourse is the final teaching of Jesus before he enters into the Last Supper, passion, and resurrection. It seems fitting that Jesus would talk about end times so close to his death. It is also fitting that Jesus allows his followers a last chance to back out of their discipleship by revealing what might await them. The picture he paints is sobering. The community for which Luke wrote faced arrest and persecution at the hands of the Romans, so this discourse must have spoken to them eloquently. In it Jesus warns his followers and bolsters their courage in the face of opposition. He lays out a logical progression that connects the destruction of the temple with that of the world (and so it was connected in the minds of the Jewish people). Sounding like an Old Testament prophet, Jesus speaks of chaotic events that must take place before this end, but he makes it clear that wars and rumors of wars can happen in any age and are no help in determining the exact time. Jeus is sure, however, that discipleship almost guarantees arrest, persecution, and trial, just as he suffered them. His exhortation warns disciples against following false teachers and exhorts them to trust in God’s wisdom and strength. · One theme in today’s readings is justice – especially social justice, which according to the conference of catholic Bishops, “implies that persons have an obligation to be active and productive participants in the life of society and that society has a duty to enable them to participate in this way” (Economic Justice for All, 71). How do we respond as a Church to our collective duty to empower universal participation in community life?
