Last Part

The true essence of the "New Age" movement can be summarized quite sim-ply: EVERYONE CAN CREATE THEIR OWN REALITY, BECAUSE EVERYONE IS THEIR OWN GOD.

Jay Rosen, media critic and Professor of Journalism at New York University, summed up the essential essence of the "New Age" when he said that "The New Age is just another name by which the hollowness of modernity has been known. People want instant and total change, and New Age scams from psychics to astrolo-gers flourish by letting people believe they can change themselves without effort or discipline. They tell people what they want to hear and give them vague advice they're already predisposed to follow."

In summary, if everyone is God, moral standards of any kind have been totally eliminated, and nothing at all can be called 'wrong.' Therefore, the person who immerses him/herself in the New Age movement is making an attempt at eradi-cating a deep-seated guilt.

The "New Age" movement is definitely a business, and a very lucrative one at that for those who have the right words, atti-tude and appearance. Curiously, many of the same people who ridicule those who contribute to televangelists will turn right around and spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars on various pieces of useless "New Age" junk.

People in this country spend $100 million annually on chunks of plain quartz whose geometry they believe has healing and prophetic power. Americans also annually spend $300 million on "New Age" videos and tapes. Shirley MacLaine cleared $1,500,000 on her 1986 15-city tour an average $8,000 per 'working' hour.

READINGS

Thirty-third Sunday Ordinary Time-YearA

Reading I: Proverbs 31:10-13, 19-20,30-31 Responsorial Psalm: 128:1-2, 3, 4-5 Reading II: 1 Thessalonians 5:1-6 Gospel: Matthew 25:14-30

not to do with it what we want but to care for it even as we live off of its abundant riches.

God created the land to support living things: What will happen when God returns to find so much land strip-mined, strip-cleared, eroded, and burdened with toxic waste?

God created the waters to support living things: What will happen when God returns to find the oceans and rivers polluted with our garbage and chemical by-products?

God created the air to support living things: What will happen when God returns to find smog and holes in the ozone?

God created plants and animals to live on this wonderful earth and revel in its beauty: What will happen when God returns to find so many of them driven to extinction by our destructive practices?

“Father of all that is good, keep us faithful in serving you.” May we learn to care better for the Master’s goods so that when the Master returns, we will hear those blessed words: “Well done! Come and share your master’s joy.”

Men and women bear a unique res- ponsibility under God to safeguard the created world and by their crea– tive labor even to enhance it.

Safeguarding creation requires us to live responsibly within it, rather than manage creation as though we are outside it.

The human family is charged with preserving the beauty, diversity and integrity of nature as well as fostering its productivity.

WHAT IS ENTRUSTED US

The Gospel parable is about a man entrusting his servants with his property, and the point it makes concerns the need for fidelity in caring for what belongs to the master.

God our master has left us with the earth,

The Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Nov 21st

According to tradition, the Blessed Virgin

Mary was consecrated to God as a young child and was given by her holy parents, St. Anne

and St. Joachim, to live in the Jewish temple in Jeru-salem. This special feast day honoring this event ap-

peared in the East much earlier than it did in the West. Then, in the late Middle Ages it was promoted

as a feast day for the universal Church.
