READINGS & PETITIONS - NOV. 7/8 Dear Friends, The readings for this weekend's liturgies of the 32nd Sunday in ordinary time feature widows who are generous to an extreme degree. Of course we are called to radical giving too. Of course we all fall short. But our gracious God can take what we do give and work wonders with it, just as he did with the little boy's lunch of five loaves and two fish. And our compassionate God knows that sometimes the little we can muster is truly all we can do, and he blesses us for it. Thank you all for what you give in our liturgical celebrations! At our 9:00 a.m. liturgy two baptized Christians will be received into full Communion with the Catholic Church, and we rejoice with them. A separate Petitions is listed for the 9:00 a.m. liturgy.

Reading I - 1 Kings 17:10-16
A reading from the first Book of Kings
In those days, Elijah the prophet went to Zarephath.
As he arrived at the entrance of the city,
She left to get it, and he called out after her,
She answered, "As the LORD, your God, lives,
Just now I was collecting a couple of sticks,
Elijah said to her, "Do not be afraid.
For the LORD, the God of Israel, says,
She left and did as Elijah had said.
She was able to eat for a year, and he and her son as well;
The word of the Lord.
A reading from the Letter to the Hebrews
Christ did not enter into a sanctuary made by hands,
Not that he might offer himself repeatedly,
if that were so, he would have had to suffer repeatedly
But now once for all he has appeared at the end of the ages
Just as it is appointed that human beings die once,
The word of the Lord.
