“But she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had, her whole livelihood.” (Mark 12:44)
Like the widow from Zarephath, who baked a cake for Elijah with the small amount of flour and oil she had left
for herself and her son, the widow in the temple gave all that she had - her whole livelihood, to God. Such gen-
erosity springs from great faith in God’s love for us and sincere gratitude. It is important that we regularly re-
flect on who we are and whose we are. At our Baptism we are called “a child
of God, for so indeed we are.” Do we acknowledge and accept God as Father
and Creator? Are we grateful to God for all that He has given us? Is our
gratitude to God reflected in our generosity like the widow of Zarepath and
the widow in the temple? Jesus was not favorably impressed by large sums
that the wealthy contributed out of their surplus wealth. How much of what
we have is because of what we want, not what we need? How much of what
we claim to be mine is actually surplus that we could share with others in
need? How much to we give back to God out of all he has given to us?
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wick-
edness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him,
we humbly pray,
and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by
the power of God, thrust into hell Satan,
and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

"Pero ella, desde su pobreza, ha contribuido todo lo que tenia, todo su sustento"
Como la viuda de Zarephath, quien hizo un pastel para Elijah con la poca harina y aceite que tenia para ella y
su hijo; la viuda en el Templo dio todo lo que tenia, todo su sustento a Dios. Tal generosidad nace de gran fe
por el amor de Dios hacia nosotros y sincera gratitud. Es importante que refleccionemos en quienes somos y de
quien somos. En nuestro bautizo somos llamados "un hijo de Dios; ciertamente los somos." Reconocemos y
aceptamos a Dios como Padre y Creador? Somos agradecidos a Dios por todo lo que nos ha dado? Esta nuestra
gratitud hacia Dios reflejada en nuestra generosidad como la viuda de Zarepath y la
viuda en el Templo? Jesus no estaba impresionado favorablemente por las grandes
sumas que los ricos contribuian de sus riquezas sobrantes. Lo que tenemos es
porque lo queremos, o porque lo que necesitamos? Cuanto de lo que tenemos es en
realidad sobrante que podriamos compartir con otros en necesidad? Cuanto le de-
volvemos a Dios por todo lo que nos ha dado?

Oh Glorioso príncipe de la Hueste Celestial, San
Miguel Arcángel, defiéndenos en la batalla y en el
terrible combate que estamos librando contra los
principados y Potestades del aire, contra los Domi-
nadores de este mundo tenebroso, en contra de todos
los Espíritus del Mal. Ven en ayuda del hombre, a
quien Dios Todopoderoso creó inmortal, hecho en
ayuda del hombre, a quien Dios Todopoderoso creó
inmortal, hecho a su imagen y semejanza, y redi-
mido por un gran precio, de la tiranía de Satanás.
Pelea en este día la batalla del Señor, junto con los
santos ángeles, igual que combatiste al líder de los
orgullosos ángeles, Lucifer, y a su hueste apóstata,
quienes no tuvieron poder para resistirte y tampoco
hubo ya lugar para ellos en el cielo. Esa cruel serpi-
ente antigua, llamada el diablo o Satanás, que seduce
al mundo entero, fue arrojada al abismo junto con
sus ángeles. Mira, este enemigo primitivo y asesino
del hombre ha tomado fuerza. Transformado en un
ángel de luz, anda alrededor del mundo con una
multitud de espíritus perversos, invadiendo la tierra
para borrar el nombre de Dios y de Jesucristo,
apoderarse, asesinar y arrojar a la eterna perdición de
las almas destinadas a la corona de la gloria eterna.
Este malvado dragón vierte, como la inundación
más impura, el veneno de su malicia en los hombres
de mente depravada y corrupto corazón; el espíritu
de mentira de impiedad, de blasfemia, y de aire pesti-
lente de impureza, y de todo vicio e iniquidad.
Estos astutos enemigos han llenado y embriagado
con hiel y amargura esta Iglesia, la esposa del In-
maculado Cordero, y han puesto sus manos impías
en sus más sagradas posesiones. En el Santo Lugar,
en donde la sede de San Pedro y el asiento de la ver-
dad han sido colocados como la luz del mundo, ellos
han levantado el trono de su abominable impiedad,
con el designio inicuo de que cuando el Pastor sea
herido, también las ovejas pueden ser heridas.
Entonces levántate, oh Príncipe invencible, dale
ayuda al pueblo de Dios en contra de los ataques de
los espíritus perdidos. Dale la victoria al pueblo de
Dios: Ellos te veneran como su protector y patrón;
en ti la gloriosa Iglesia se regocija con tu defensa
contra el maligno poder del infierno; a ti te ha con-
fiado Dios las almas de los hombres para ser esta-
blecida en bienaventuranzas celestiales. Ora al Dios
de la paz, para que ponga a Satanás bajo nuestros
píes, derrotado para que no pueda más mantener al
hombre en cautiverio y lastimar a la Iglesia. Ofrece
nuestras oraciones a la vista del Altísimo, para que
pronto pueda encontrar misericordia a los ojos del
señor; y venciendo al dragón la antigua serpiente que
es el diablo y Satanás, tú nuevamente lo pongas
cautivo en al abismo, para que no pueda ya más
seducir a las naciones.
Amén.

St. Alphonsus Liguori wrote:
“Of all devotions, that of adoring Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the
greatest after the Sacraments, the one dearest to God and the one most
helpful to us”. The Eucharist is a priceless treasure: By not only
celebrating the Eucharist, but also by praying before It outside of Mass,
we are enabled to make contact with the very wellsprings of Grace ..."
You are invited to participate in Eucharistic Adoration each Friday
Adoration begins after 8:15 Mass; ends with Benediction at 11:50 am.
You can spend a few minutes, an hour or as much time as you desire.
