GOSPEL
November 11, 2018
In the course of his teaching Jesus said to the crowds,
"Beware of the scribes, who like to go around in long robes
and accept greetings in the marketplaces,
seats of honor in synagogues,
and places of honor at banquets.
They devour the houses of widows and, as a pretext
recite lengthy prayers.
They will receive a very severe condemnation."
He sat down opposite the treasury
and observed how the crowd put money into the treasury.
Many rich people put in large sums.
A poor widow also came and put in two small coins worth a few cents.
Calling his disciples to himself, he said to them,
"Amen, I say to you, this poor widow put in more
than all the other contributors to the treasury.
For they have all contributed from their surplus wealth,
but she, from her poverty, has contributed all she had,
her whole livelihood."
Prayer to St. Michael
St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all other evil spirits who prowl the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen
Now, as never before, the Church needs the intercession of St. Michael.
Please say this prayer every day.

Liturgical update: What is in a color?
Have you ever heard an Altar Server ask “what color do I wear today?”
They are referring to their belts or cinctures. In the Catholic Church, each season has a color and each color has a meaning. The sense of sight, including color, plays an important role in Catholic worship. The colors of a priest’s vestment, altar cloth or banners, help the faithful know that certain celebrations are at hand.
A Guide to the colors of the Liturgical Year and what they mean.
• Green: The color of vestments used during ordinary time.
Ordinary time is the portion of the year that’s not the Christmas or
Easter season — it’s still important; it just has an unexciting
name.
• Purple or violet: Used during Advent and Lent, and along
with white and black, these colors may also be used at Funeral
Masses.
• White and gold: Most appropriate for Christmas and
Easter.
• Red: For on feasts of the Passion of Jesus and for the Holy
Spirit, representing red tongues of fire, in addition to being
worn for the feasts of martyred saints, who shed their red blood
for Christ.
• Rose: which we use only twice a year - on the Third Sunday
of Advent and the Fourth Sunday of Lent. The color rose may
be worn as a sign of anticipated joy.
