HIRTY-THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
World Day of the Poor
HOURS: Proper. Te Deum. Psalter Week 1. MASS: Proper. Gloria. Creed. Preface: Sundays I–VIII.
Scriptures: Prov 31:10–13, 19–20, 30–31. Ps 127:1–5, R/. v. 1. 1 Thess 5:1–6. Mt 25:14–30 (shorter form 25:14–15, 19–20). Lect. 1:725.
The readings today emphasise fidelity and dedication to duty and work. It is more blessed to give talents and gifts are given for the service of the community. Christians are to be fully dedicated to working in service of others while watching and waiting for the life to come. There is always so much good to be done for others and so little time in which to do it!
St. Albert the Great, bishop and doctor of the Church, is not celebrated this year.
Today is the World Day of the Poor. Pope Francis, in his apostolic letter Misericordia et Misera marking the end of the Jubilee Year of Mercy, established this Day, saying that it would serve as "the worthiest way to prepare for the celebration of the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe next Sunday 22 November, who identified with the little ones and the poor and who will judge us on our works of mercy."

11:00 a.m. – 1:00 p.m.
All welcome — come and bring a friend!
This Saturday, 14th November, is the Feast Day of St. Laurence O’Toole, Patron Saint of Dublin Archdiocese.
Born in 1128, Lorcán Ua Tuathail was the first native Irish Archbishop of Dublin. He was an outstanding monk, a dedicated shepherd who rebuilt Christ Church Cathedral, a protector of homeless children, and a tireless mediator during the Anglo-Norman invasion. He passed away in Eu, Normandy, in 1180 while on a diplomatic peace mission.
As world leaders gather at COP31 in Turkey, the world rises against Fossil Fuel Power. From every corner of the globe, people will gather to demand an end to the fossil-fuel era. COP31 in Turkey must be a turning point in global climate action, and Ireland must demonstrate leadership as it negotiates on behalf of the EU during its presidency at COP31 in Turkey, and in its role as co-host of the Conference to Transition Away from Fossil Fuels process, it has
never been more crucial to take action on climate change. We pray that all leaders at the conference will hear the call and listen to the cry of the earth. Lord, hear our prayer.
