Shallotte, North Carolina
The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica
November 9, 2014
The Dedication of the Latern Basicila
The residence of the Popes which was named the
Lateran Palace was built by Lateranus Palutius, whom
Nero put to death to seize his goods. It was given in
the year 313 by Constantine to the Great Saint
Militades, Pope, and was inhabited by his successors
until1308, when they moved to Avignon. The Lateran
Basilica built by Constantine near the palace of the
same name, is the first Basilica of the West.
Twelve councils, four of which were ecumenical, have
assembled there, the first in 649, the last in 1512. If for
several centuries the popes have no longer dwelt in the
Palace, the primacy of the Basilica is not thereby
altered; it remains the head of all churches. Saint Peter
Damian wrote that “just as the Savior is the Head of the
elect, the church which bears His name is the head of
all the churches.
Those of Saints Peter and Paul, to its left and its right,
are two arms by which this sovereign and universal
Church embraces the entire earth, saving all who
desire salvation, warming them, protecting them in its
maternal womb. “The Divine Office narrates the
dedication of the Church by the Pope of Peace, Saint
Sylvester: “It was the Blessed Pope Sylvester who
established the rites observed by the Roman Church
for the consecration of church and altars. From the
time of the Apostles there had been certain places
dedicated to God, which some called oratories, and
others churches.
There, on the first day of the week, the assembly was
held, and there the Christian people were accustomed
to pray, to hear the Word of God, and to receive the
Eucharist. But never has these places been
consecrated so solemnly; nor had a fixed altar been
placed there which, anointed with sacred chrism was
the symbol of Our Lord Jesus Christ, who for us is
altar, victim and Pontiff.
Bishop Burbidge will celebrate the annual Mass for
the Deceased Bishops, Priests and Deacons of the
Diocese of Raleigh on Tuesday, November 18, at Our
Lady of Guadalupe Catholic Church in Newton Grove
at 11:00am at the altar in the parish cemetery. The
faithful are most welcome to attend the Mass, as we
pray for those Bishop, Priests, and Deacons who so
faithfully served the mission of Christ and His Church
throughout North Carolina. The Mass will then
conclude with the blessing of the graves of the
deceased clergy buried in throughout the parish
cemetery. In the event of inclement weather, the Mass
will be celebrated in the parish church.
Christmas Giving this Season: This year
we are wanting to get started early on our
projects for this Christmas. We will again be
doing the gift cards for Building Hope
Ministries. This is the same as last year
where we get a $25.00 gift card at Wal-Mart,
Belk or a store of your choice. These cards
are for the teenagers that have a parent in
prison. These teens are sometimes forgotten at
Christmas and your generosity helps them be able to
pick out there own gift. A letter from their parent in
prison is included with the card they get from Building
Hope Ministries. Gift cards can be brought to the
Office, given to Rusty and then Building Hope
Ministries will pick them up. Call Rusty at 754-8544 to
get on the list to donate a gift card. We will be taking
on 50 Teens this year. We will be getting the gift tags
from the Senior Center in Shallotte and NEW THIS
YEAR we will feature a tree for the children in Faith
Formation here at St. Brendan. We will have a
Christmas Tree in the Gathering Space with tags for
them. We hope to be finished with our projects before
Thanksgiving like last year since we have obligations
with family in other places at this time. The gift cards
can be started now and more information on the
Senior and Children’s Tree will be in upcoming
bulletins. Thank You for your generosity to make
Christmas special for these special children and
seniors!

Domingo XXXII Tiempo Ordinario
Las vírgenes necias y las prudentes
El Evangelio nos cuenta la parábola de las 10
vírgenes. Y el momento tenso de la narración se
formula como la espera, la espera de ese momento
final, atractivo, gozoso, de diez jóvenes muchachas
ante el novio que va a aparecer de un momento a otro.
Y la pregunta de cada una de las vírgenes, seria le
siguiente: ¿Seré yo digna del amor del novio? El final
puede ser caótico o maravilloso, según que el novio
las acepte o no.
Cuando salga el novio, ¿te encontrará digno o digna?
Porque el abrazo de amor será tan inmenso que
colmará toda expectativa. Ahora bien, esa dignidad, no
depende del novio, sino de quien se prepara para la
boda. Se trata de la mayor sabiduría a que puede
aspirar un ser humano: el amor como fruto de una
existencia, porque, queridos amigos, a esto estamos
llamados los cristianos.
La prueba que nos separa del Novio es la
Sabiduría .La Sabiduría sale al encuentro de quienes
la buscan, y a quienes la aman, ella misma se
muestra. La sabiduría es la manera en que Dios se
manifiesta a quienes realmente le buscan. La única
condición para que este encuentro se llegue a dar, es
estar abierto a ella, y buscarla, como se busca a Dios.
Es importante caer en la cuenta de que la Sabiduría
viene presentada en este libro del Antiguo Testamento
como una persona, no en abstracto.
Y ya, viniendo a la parábola de Jesús, las vírgenes
prudentes son las que tenían aceite suficiente para sus
lámparas, pusieron los medios en la larga espera de la
vida y no dejaron que en ningún momento se les
apagara la lámpara de la fe, porque cualquier
momento puede ser el último. Las necias, en cambio,
olvidaron este detalle; tenían vitalidad, pero era una
vitalidad efímera, no duraba mucho, y cuando se
dieron cuenta estaban vacías; vacías de ese poso que
da la espera del amado.
La vida es un camino, iluminado con ese saber del
amor, que llena de alegría y hace gozosa la espera.
Quienes nos vean así, contentos y confiados en que el
Novio vendrá, podrán decir: ese tiene la lámpara llena,
ese o esa saben, están iluminados con la luz de la
verdadera sabiduría. Y los que viven a nuestro
alrededor quedaran también iluminados.
Que no nos falte ese aceite en nuestras lámparas para
que estemos preparados cuando venga el Señor.
BAUTISMOS
Los bautismos son el día 1 de
Noviembre y el día 6 de Diciembre a
las 3:30 de la tarde. La plática para
Diciembre es el día 30 de
Noviembre. Después de la misa de
las 9:30 de la mañana.
PREPARACION PARA GUADALUPE
Este ano celebraremos la Virgen de
Guadalupe el día 11 de Diciembre. El grupo
de líderes de la iglesia hispana está
considerando la procesión de la virgen con
cantos y rosario a las 6:30 de la tarde. Misa a
las 7:30 u 8:00 de la tarde y a continuación se planea
servir tamales con chocolate abuelita y pan mexicano
dulce. También se piensa en tener un mariachi para
festejar el día de la Virgen. Para todo esto se
necesitan voluntarios y voluntarias para traer tamales,
el pan dulce mexicano y el chocolate abuelita. Se
aceptan padrinos para pagar el mariachi.
ATENCION A LOS PADRES
Tenemos que insistir en la obligación que tienen los
padres de educar a sus hijos en la Fe Católica. Es de
suma importancia que los niños vengan a las clases
preparadas para ellos los primeros domingos de mes y
los terceros son para los niños de la Primera
Comunión. No se aceptaran a los sacramentos al
menos que el niño o niña esté presente en las clases.
