Currently, we were in need of adorers to cover a few particular hours. Our hours of greatest need are: Fridays from 6 - 7 PM., 7 - 8 PM., 8-9 p.m., 9 - 10 PM and 10 11 PM and 11p.m.-midnight If you are interested in either becoming a committed weekly adorer for any of the above times Please call for more information : Robert & Belinda Galvan: 210-849-1430. We have many different ministries here at Holy Trinity. We would like to feature a different Ministry each month. We will pray for the efforts and support of these ministries in the chapel during adoration hours. For the month of November We pray for those involved with Stephen Ministry & Divorced and Separated Group Update on Msgr. Mike 33rd Sunday in Ordinary Time "But of that day or hour, no one knows, neither the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." It may strike us as odd that there are things that the angels don't know. But it's even more surprising that Jesus--the Son of God--would have been unaware of the divine schedule for the end of the world. Given all of this, should it come as any surprise that there are things that God chooses not to reveal to us right now? In his wisdom, God knows when the timing is right to reveal his plans to us. The fact that we don't know everything helps us remember that we are not God. We are his creatures, dependent upon him for our existence, our sustenance, and for the hour of our death too. In this era of instant Internet information, advanced diagnostic medical tests, and statistical surveys predicting future trends, it's hard to accept the fact that there are some things we just can't know. But this reality should keep us humble, reminding us that we don't have to know everything because we are in the powerful hands of a loving God. Thus, any attempt to "see the future" through psychic mediums like palm reading, tarot cards, or astrology suggests a kind of distrust in God. As the catechism states, such practices "contradict the honor, respect, and loving fear that we owe to God alone" (§2116). As much as we might want to know when the world will end, when our dreams will come true, or when our problems will cease, we are called to walk in faith, accepting what God chooses to reveal and trusting that even our moments of uncertainty are part of his benevolent plan for us. As today's psalm declares, "you will show me the path to life." What else do we really need to know? Msgr. Mike has been released from Warm Springs on Friday, although he will not be active in the parish just yet, he will be recuperating from home. Please continue to Pray for Msgr. Mike PRAYER FOR VOCATIONS God of Love, You show your favor for us and grace us through baptism. Bless us with the courage to carry out the mission of Jesus. Grant us open and generous hearts to see the needs of others and to respond with compassion. May the Church be blest with women and men who are dedicated to You through marriage, the single life, the diaconate, priesthood, and the consecrated life. It is in Christ and through Christ that we offer ourselves to You now and forever. Amen. ORACION POR LAS VOCACIONES Dios de Amor, muestras tu favor hacia nosotros y nos das tu gracia en el Bautismo. Bendicenos con valor para llevar a cabo la mision de Jesus. Concedenos corazones abiertos y generosos para que viendo las necesidades de los demas respondamos con compassion. Que la Iglesia sea bendecida con mujeres y hombres que se dedican a Ti en el matrimonio, la vida celibe, el diaconado, el sacerdocio y la vida consagrada. Es en Cristo y por Cristo que nos ofrecemos a Ti ahora y siempre. Amen WORD PLAY 1. She was only a whiskey maker, but he loved her still. 2.

I feel I am all aflame. I shall fight all evil with the weapon of mercy. I am being burned up by the desire to save souls. I traverse the world‟s length and breadth and venture as far as its ultimate limits and its wildest lands to save souls. I do this through prayer and sacrifice. I want every soul to glorify the mercy of God, for each one experiences the effects of that mercy on himself. The Saints in heaven worship the mercy of the Lord. I want to worship it even now, here on earth, and to spread devotion to it in the way that God demands of me. Mensaje semanal De La DIVINA MISERICORDIA Durante la Santa Misa me envolvio un ardor interior de amor a Dios y el deseo por la salvacion de las almas tan grande que no sé expresarlo. Siento que soy toda un fuego; lucharé contra todo el mal con el arma de la misericordia. Ardo del deseo de salvar a las almas; recorro el mundo entero a lo largo y a lo ancho y penetro hasta sus confines, hasta los lugares mas salvajes para salvar a las almas. Lo hago a traves de la oracion y el sacrificio. Deseo que cada alma glorifique la misericordia de Dios, porque cada uno experimenta en si mismo los efectos de esta misericordia. Los santos en el cielo adoran la misericordia del Señor, yo deseo adorarla ya aquí en la tierra y propagar su culto tal como Dios lo quiere de mi.

Discouraged? Lonely? Sad? Don't Suffer Alone. Help is Available. NURSING HOME & HOME BOUND MINISTRY Sometimes we fall into a trap where we think it’s a sign of weakness to ask for help. So when we’re stressed, discouraged, lonely, or sad, we try to keep our struggles hidden and are reluctant to ask for help. However, that’s not God’s plan. Galatians 6:2 says, “Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.” God wants us to care for others—and allow others to care for us in our time of need. If you’re sad or struggling inside, don’t suffer alone. Ask for help. We’ve got a team of Stephen Ministers who are ready to provide confidential one-to-one care, encouragement, and support to help you through a tough time. Eucharistic Ministers needed to assist a few hours per week in this vital ministry, taking Holy Communion to those who cannot come to Mass. Training and written instructions will be provided by someone currently in this Ministry. If you are a homebound Parishioner, or have moved to a Nursing Home, and would like Holy Communion bought to you on Tuesday mornings, we can add you to the schedule. Find out more about Stephen Ministry by talking with one of our Stephen Leaders: Jerry Krimbill, 392-0602 or Pam Hughes, 394-5723 or email Pam at [email protected]. Our Stephen Ministers are ready to bring God's love and care into your life! Holy Trinity Our Lady's Rosary Ministry Holy Trinity has a Rosary devoted to Our Lady, and all are welcome to join: We speak and pray a universal language of love for Our Blessed Mother!

Reflection ~ Detour or Dead End God has a unique plan for each and everyone of us. He created us with a purpose, a purpose far greater and more noble than we usually can fathom. In fact, we tend to set our sights much lower, and settle for far less, than what God has planned for us. When divorce hits we can lose sight of God's plan. The divorce becomes our plan. We then spend our time, energy, and focus working the "divorce" plan. Being divorced becomes our life. It becomes who we are. We look at divorce as our life's final destination, instead of a detour from something far greater. This is when divorce becomes our dead-end. Thankfully, God never stops calling us back to His plan. Often times we ignore this. As a result, life becomes much more difficult than it has to be. If you find that you lack a sense of peace, that life has become a never-ending struggle, that you seem to be going in circles and getting nowhere, take a step back. More than likely, you are working your plan, instead of God's. The struggle and heartache are indicators that you are working against God, not with Him. Daily prayer, routine confession, and quiet time in front of the Eucharist, are great ways to tune into the Holy Spirit and allow Him to get you back on track. We all need a "realignment" from time-to-time as life, our fears, and our freewill, have a way of pulling us off track. Remember, God has a great plan for you--a plan filled with promise, peace, and joy. Living that plan may not always be easy, but not living it is sure to lead you to a dead-end. For I know the plans I have for you, says the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. - Jeremiah 29:11 Copyright 2014, (c) Vince Frese For more resources visit DivorcedCatholic.org and vincefrese.com.

In 2 tours of Vietnam he flew over 2500 combat missions and rescued 5000 wounded. He developed foul weather and tactical techniques for air ambulance rescues never before executed in combat. He has been identified in the Encyclopedia of the Vietnam War and other books as the top helicopter pilot of that war. General Brady is the only living Army veteran of Vietnam to hold both the Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Cross, our nation’s second highest award. He also was presented many other awards for his service. General Brady and his wife, Nancy had six children.
