MARY IMMACULATE CHURCH DALLAS, TEXAS Life Long Faith Focus on the Gospel November 2, 2014 Of all the sayings of Jesus, I love this one the best. If you ever see an email from me (Beth), you’ll see this attached to my informal signature. John 6:37-40 “I came down from heaven not to do my own will, but the will of the one who sent me. And this is the will of the one who sent me, that I should not lose anything of what He gave me, but that I should raise it on the last day”. If you ever wondered what God’s will was before, well, after reading this passage, now you know! This is the testimony of a son who has received a great treasure from his father. Something more valuable than the things you or I would have handed down to us, like perhaps a gold pocketwatch, a war medal, or a precious ring or vase. Jesus received a precious heirloom called “the Human Race” from His Father. And His Father told him in so many words, “don’t lose any of what I gave you!” Can you imagine God telling Jesus not to lose anything of this precious gift? Well, Jesus took that very seriously! So seriously, in fact, that in order to not lose even one single person, he gave his life on the cross for us. Willingly. We once were lost, but now are found! All Souls Novena begins today, Sunday, November 2. If you wish to have your deceased loved ones included in the Novena of Masses, please write their name on the Novena Offering envelope and insert your offering in the envelope and place it in the collection basket. In early 2014, while going through a family and financial crisis, Susie Allen reached out to Catholic Charities of Dallas for help. Her family was struggling to make ends meet after a job lay-off, a car accident and the sudden loss of her daughter. She called many agencies for help, but only Catholic Charities of Dallas answered the call. “They stepped up, and went a little bit further to help my husband and me with food. It was a blessing from God. If it wasn't for Catholic Charities of Dallas, I don’t know where my husband and I would be. They mean so very much to me.” On November 1 and 2, a weekend annually designated by Bishop Kevin J. Farrell as Catholic Charities Sunday, think of Susie and the countless families in need.

NEW MISSALS AND MUSIC BOOKS COMING FOR ADVENT! It’s that time of year again—time to replace our old Missalettes and music books! Our Altar Society ladies will be going through and replacing some of the old, torn, blue covers for our books. The covers aren’t as sturdy as we would like them to be, but with your tenderness and care, can last a long time. Please help us to preserve the covers. One way to help is to assist small children who are readers with holding the big books. Children who are not yet reading can use the Magnifikid magazines from the Narthex, or bring their own children’s picture Bibles from home. Thanks so much for your care of our book binders! At all of the Masses next weekend, November 8th and 9th, there will be a special blessing for all those serving as a Liturgical Minister.

YOU ARE LOVED!" were the words the priest said emphatically. This was the central theme of the three-day mission lead by this priest in my parish. He was so convinced of this truth, and was trying to convince everyone else who attended, that he actually had buttons made and passed them out like candy. I wondered how many were convinced. It is hard to feel all warm and fuzzy when you are in the middle of a crisis, like divorce. Harder still is to comprehend that you are loved by someone you can't even see. "If I am so loved, why am I going through this mess?" is a question that tends to feed our doubt. The reality is you are a victim of someone else's free will, not God's will. God created you out of His immense love, and He loves you forever. The Scriptures are essentially His love letters to you, reaching down through the ages trying to convince you of His faithful and unending love. Read them often. They are a constant reminder that even though you may not feel loved here on earth, you have God in Heaven who is endlessly pursuing you and doing everything possible to convince you that you are loved. "Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God. Even the hairs on your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid. You are worth more than many sparrows." - Luke 12:6-7 Copyright 2014, (c) Vince Frese For more resources visit DivorcedCatholic.org and vincefrese.com. “That Man is You – Becoming a Man after God’s own Heart”, meets on Friday mornings from 6:00 a.m. to 7:30 a.m. in the Parish Hall.

THE COMMEMORATION OF ALL THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED La Fe de Toda la Vida Centrada en el Evangelio: Juan 6, 37-40 De todas la frases de Jesús, ésta es mi favorita Si alguna vez ha visto un correo electrónico mío (Beth), ha visto este pasaje adjunto a mi firma: Juan 6, 37-40 “He bajado del cielo, no para hacer mi voluntad, sino la voluntad del que me envió. Y la voluntad del que me envió es que yo no pierda nada de lo que él me ha dado, sino que lo resucite en el último día. La voluntad de mi Padre consiste en que todo el que vea al Hijo y crea en él, tenga vida eterna y yo lo resucite en el último día”. Si alguna vez se había preguntado cuál es la voluntad de Dios, después de leer este pasaje, ¡ya lo sabe! Este es el testimonio de un hijo que ha recibido un gran tesoro de su padre. Algo más valioso que cualquier cosa que nosotros pudiéramos heredar, como tal vez un reloj de oro, una medalla de guerra, o un anillo muy preciado. Jesús recibió una herencia llamada “la Raza Humana” de parte de su Padre. Y su Padre le dijo, en pocas palabras, “¡No pierdas nada de lo que te he dado!” ¿Puede imaginar a Dios diciéndole a Jesús que no pierda nada de este precioso regalo? Pues bien, Jesús tomó esas palabras muy en serio. Tan en serio que entregó su vida en la cruz con el fin de que ni una sola persona se pierda. Por nuestra voluntad, ¡Estuvimos perdidos, pero ahora hemos sido encontrados!

Su familia estaba teniendo dificultades por la pérdida de trabajo, un accidente automovilístico y la muerte de su hija. Ella buscó ayuda con diferentes agencias pero solamente Caridades Católicas la ayudó. “Ellos respondieron, e hicieron aún un poco más al ayudarnos a mi esposo y a mí con comida. Fue una bendición de Dios. Si no fuera por Caridades Católicas, no se que sería de nosotros. Significan mucho para mí.” El 1 y 2 de Noviembre tendremos la colecta anual en beneficio de esta organización, siendo el día que nuestro Obispo, Kevin Farrell, ha designado como Domingo de Caridades Católicas. Piense en Susie y las innumerables familias con necesidades semejantes. También puede donar en línea en www.ccdallas.org/ccsunday, o llamando al 214-520-6590. ¡Se solicitan donaciones de 100 Pavos!
