RANDOM THOUGHTS DIFERENTES PENSAMIENTOS from Father Bill Promesso
Saved By Faith Bartimaeus, who is physically blind, “sees” Jesus and recognizes his power. He cries out in his need and Jesus grants his request. “Master, I want to see.” But Bartimaeus already “sees” what others cannot: That Jesus is the “Son of David” and heir to the royal throne of power. Bartimaeus recognizes the true identity of Jesus while others have yet to “see.” That is why his faith saves him and others remain in the dark.
Adult Confirmation Some people were Baptized as infants, celebrated 1st Reconciliation and 1st Eucharist and stopped their formal faith formation sometime afterward, never completing the Sacraments of Initiation (Baptism,
Eucharist, Confirmation). Each year we offer a brief prep program for such persons in anticipation of our winter celebration of the Sacrament of Confirmation: Two prep sessions, then liturgy practice with the teens who have their own prep process, then the Confirmation liturgy with Auxiliary Bishop Gerard Battersby. If you or someone you know is an adult who needs to complete their initiation in the church, then pass on this info and contact me to reserve a seat. Adult Confirmation Prep 2019 Thursday, February 7 at 7:00pm Thursday, February 14 at 7:00pm Sunday, February 24 at 12:30pm (Practice) Saturday, March 2 at 5:00pm (Confirmation Mass)

from our
Pastoral Minister In our Gospel passage from Mark this weekend, we are presented with a dramatic and powerful encounter between Bartimaeus and Jesus. Bartimaeus is the only person in the Gospel of Mark who calls Jesus by name. As Jesus enters Jerusalem, Bartimaeus senses clearly in his spirit that Jesus is passing by. The crowd of people rebuke Bartimaeus and demand that he keeps quiet, as he is a disabled and socially isolated member of society. But even after being told to remain silent and unseen, Bartimaeus calls out with even greater intensity to Jesus, “Son of David, have pity on me!” (Mk 10:47) This is significant as it is the first time the title ‘Son of David’ has been applied to Jesus. This title points to Jesus as the fulfillment of God’s promises to His people, as the Messiah-King who would rule over Israel. It is the first time that Jesus allows a public proclamation of his Messianic identity. Up until this point it has been kept a secret, but as Jesus enters more deeply into the fulfillment of his suffering messianic mission, the time has come for it to be revealed.
Bartimaeus is not intimidated amid the crowd, as he faces a tough obstacle. He cries out with abandon to Jesus, whose presence he recognizes even more clearly than the apostles and crowd do. He knows that the surpassing healing and miraculous power that Jesus possesses with divine authority can truly change his life and circumstances. Bartimaeus has absolute faith that God can deliver and heal him through Jesus. He immediately springs up and responds with decisive faith to the call of Jesus. Jesus directly responds to his faith when he replies to Bartimaeus “Go your way, your faith has saved you.” (Mk 10:52) Bartimaeus responds with exuberance to the command of Jesus by throwing off his cloak, which symbolizes him leaving his old way of life, and begins to follow Jesus. His response reflects the heart of one who has been healed and restored by the miraculous power of God.
When you are faced with overwhelming conditions or challenges in your life do you cry out with full abandon to Jesus, believing with faith that He can answer your prayer? Imagine you are the blind man at the side of the road and Jesus is passing you by. What would you ask Him to do for you? What are you really longing for deep within your heart? I encourage you to take time in prayer and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to you the desires of your heart and the courage to cry out to Jesus. Whether it is for healing, mercy, a renewal of your faith, knowledge of the plans God has for your life or for your eyes to be opened anew to recognize
Let Perpetual Light Shine

Book Club NewsThe book for the month of November is “Carnegie’s Maid” by Marie Benedict. We will be discussing this book on November 28 at 7pm in the Parish Office. Books are available at the Riverview Library’s front desk under the St. Cyprian Book Club.
In the industrial 1860s at the dawn of the Carnegie empire, Irish immigrant Clara Kelly finds herself in desperate circumstances. Looking for a way out, she seeks employment as a lady's maid in the home of the prominent businessman Andrew Carnegie. Soon, the bond between Clara and her employer deepens into love. But when Clara goes missing, Carnegie's search for her unearths secrets and revelations that lay the foundation for his lasting legacy. With captivating insight and stunning heart, Carnegie's Maid tells the story of one lost woman who may have spurred Andrew Carnegie's transformation from ruthless industrialist into the world's first true philanthropist…(Google Books)

Mercy in Action UpdateThank you to all who supported the Mercy in Action Event! Christian Service and Religious Education teamed up to make 110 children’s comfort kits to comfort children who are ill or removed from their home. Thank you to Stacey and the Religious Formation teachers for sharing in this project! This year the project was divided into three phases. Our Crafter’s made the shells for 110 stuffed animals. We could not have done this without you. Our Religious Formation students stuffed the animals and made cards for the children. Our parishioners donated books and volunteers came to compile the comfort kits. A BIG thank you to all!!! Our parish is truly a community wanting to serve. I am so blessed to work with you. It was beautiful to see everyone come together to perform this act of service and mercy for our local community!

Stewardship Thoughts Today, Jesus professes in St. Mark’s Gospel, whoever wishes to be great among you will be your servant. The Book of the Prophet Isaiah and the Letter to the Hebrews also indicate examples of Christ’s humility for us to model. In other words, glory in God’s Kingdom is not achieved through high status or rank, like the secular world proclaims, but through being a humble servant to all. This includes service to the poor among us. In a spirit of evangelization, expressed through stewardship, we strive to offer our time, talent, and treasure in thanksgiving to God to our parish and other worthy causes. Every parish community is always in need of readers, Extraordinary Ministers of the Eucharist, Parish Pastoral Council members, Finance Council members, Evangelization and Stewardship Committee members, and school volunteers, to name a few ways to in which we can serve God through the Church. God graces everyone with at least one unique gift to use to build up the Kingdom that no one else can do. To discover your gifts, attend a Called and Gifted seminar in your area.

Discipleship has been appreciated as a theme for some of our past sessions. Also, we are aware that spiritual writers tell us that “discipleship calls for action” to participate in bringing more justice to our world.
In the coming Thursday sessions we will reflect together on what does discipleship mean and what might be the message in our daily lives.
