These last moments of Ordinary Time are filled with expectation for the Messiah's return. Daniel speaks of the coming of Michael the archangel, a harbinger of the end times, and of the rising ‘of those who sleep in the dust of the earth.’ Mark's Jesus speaks of a time of great tribulation, when ‘the powers in the heavens will be shaken,’ while at the same time reassuring the ancient Church that God will gather the ‘elect from the four winds.’ The imagery of the First and Gospel Readings may sound foreign to the assembly; on the other hand, with so much ‘tribulation’ in the past few years, from terrorism to war to economic challenges, some may wonder if the end times are not upon us. As always, despite troubling signs and a troubled world, we Christians must proclaim our hope in ‘the author of all that is good’. The celebration announces that hope in word, song, and prayer, always aware of the world around us but always directed toward the coming of Christ.” © 2003, 2015 OCP. All rights reserved.

Dear Parish Family, For some reason I just feel like I am in a thankful mode. You may or may not be aware of it, but this little parish family continues to accomplish a whole lot of stuff. I see a lot of good work and you are consistently good. The Viability Study Team accomplished its task of completing the Viability on time. This was truly a difficult assignment, but we did an excellent job. We had at least 12 or more people each time we met. Those sessions went for 2 hours or longer and we prevailed. It was nice to see that our parish made the grade with respect to the criteria set by the Archdiocese of St. Louis. The study also brought to light some parish weaknesses, but we have already begun to work on those things, like for instance, doing more for our youth. I like the fact that parishioners are talking, sharing their ideas and are executing the vision. Keep up the good work and especially the good attitude. As in any field we need those who work so hard behind the scenes and those big time playmakers. Both are equally important and I just want to say thank you, thank you. God loves you. Father Vince THIRTY-SECOND SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME “I say to you, this poor widow put in more than all the other contributors to the treasury. For they all contributed out of their abundance; but she out of her poverty has put in everything she had, her whole living.” Mark 12:43-44 Jesus gets right to the point - we are all called to give money to support the mission of the Church, regardless of our circumstance. No gift is too small or insignificant! Giving money to support the mission of our local parish is a matter of our faith, just like praying and participating in parish ministries. When you make a financial offering, is it from your “first-fruits” or from what is “left over”? LIVING LIFE WITH PURPOSE ZIP RZEPPA Come hear Zip Rzeppa this afternoon, 2:00 p.m., share highlights from his autobiography, For a Greater Purpose, an amazing life journey.

This is your personal invitation to come hear Zip today, November 8, 2:00 p.m., here in church (Our Lady of the Holy Cross) and be inspired. After the talk, Zip will visit with guests and sign books.
