S W Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Blessed are you who fear the L. — Psalm 128:1a

CHANGE OUR LIVES. The letters of Paul to the Thessalonians are among his earliest writings, and are driven by his belief and the belief of the entire early Christian community that the return of Christ was imminent, and that devoting time or attention to anything else was foolish. SAINT ROSE PHILIPPINE DUCHESNE As time progressed, this fervor subsided a bit. Today we (1769-1852) may wonder, when we hear these readings about the November 18 coming end-times, if we should take them to heart, if we really believe that Christ still may come upon us as a Pope Benedict once declared himself struck by how “thief at night” (1 Thessalonians 5:2). Does this mean remarkably diverse our American saints are—some that we are to stop our long-range goal-setting, get rid of native born: Mother Seton, Katherine Drexel, Kateri our yearly calendars and planners, or stop putting money Tekakwitha; most, like many Catholics today, in the college education fund? Of course not. What it immigrants: Padre Serra, Bishop Neumann, Mother does mean is that we need to change our lives, living like Cabrini, Rose Philippine Duchesne. When the French children of the light and illuminating the world around us Revolution that dispersed her convent ended, Rose with the light of the gospel.

Dichoso el que teme al Señor.

— Salmo 128 (127):1a

CAMBIA NUESTRAS VIDAS. Las cartas de Pablo a los tesalonicenses están entre sus primeros escritos movidos por su creencia, y la creencia de la comunidad de la Iglesia joven, de que el retorno de Cristo era inminente, y que dedicar tiempo y atención a otras cosas SAN ALBERTO MAGNO (1206-1280) era tontería. 15 de noviembre

St. Odilia Catholic Church was established in 1926 as the “Negro National Church of Los Angeles” and today is recognized as the “Mother Church” for all Los Angeles African American Catholics. This led to African American Catholics from Texas, Mississippi, Oklahoma, and many other states settling in South Los Angeles as parishioners of St. Odilia Catholic Church. Since 2009, the African American Catholic Center for Evangelization (AACCFE) has sponsored an Ancestral Mass each November (Black Catholic History month) at St. Odilia to commemorate the contribution of African Americans to the Ecclesiastical Province of Los Angeles and its environs.
