PROJECT DRESSER IS READY TO GO! The enthusiasm from the parish over our new pro-life ministry is amazing! Thank you to all who have reached

out asking how they can help. We are excited to announce that our "adopted" mother is ex-pecting a baby girl on December 21. Please see the display in the front of the church, where you can sign up for an item to purchase for this mother and baby. All items are considered "needs" for the first year of life for both mother and child. We ask that all items donated be NEW, IN ORIGINAL PACKAGING, and that you please do stick to the list of requested items. The dresser itself will be given to the mother if she is in need of one, otherwise we will save it for our next baby. Unfortunately, we cannot accept carseats, furniture or baby carri-ers out of concern for the potential for recall is-sues. At this time, with such high enthusiasm among the parish, we ask that you limit your sign-up to ONE item that is on the list. This way, as many as possible can participate. Let's also remember to pray for our mother and baby.

LA PERSISTENCIA Las lecturas de hoy son acerca de la persistencia, persistencia apasionada. El Éxodo narra una batalla ganada a pesar del cansancio porque Moisés, con la ayuda de Aarón y Jur, mantuvieron sus brazos levantados. Timoteo pide esa misma persistencia de su comunidad y de nosotros. Lucas cuenta un caso de justicia que gana una viuda, a pesar del juez injusto, porque ella no dejaba de acudir a él. El Salmo nos recuerda que Dios está en todos lados, cuidándonos día y noche de cualquier daño, yendo y viniendo, ahora y por toda la eternidad. Las lecturas son acerca de la persistencia, la búsqueda constante e inquebrantable de lo no se debe perder. Las lecturas son acerca de la persistencia apasionada de Dios en buscarnos, buscarnos para ganar nuestros corazones.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Mientras las manos de Moisés estaban en alto, Israel se imponían en la batalla (Éxodo 17:8-13). Salmo — El auxilio me viene del Señor (Salmo 121 [120]). Segunda lectura — Proclamen la palabra; sean persistente cuando sea conveniente o no (2 Timoteo 3:14 — 4:2). Evangelio — Dios asegura los derechos de los elegidos que claman día y noche (Lucas 18:1-8).
