The Thirty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time November 15, 2020
Today is World Day of the Poor.
This year’s theme is “Stretch forth your hand to the poor.” We especially pray for all those who have been impacted by the Coronavirus and encourage a spirit of fraternity amongst our community.
Saint of the Week
Saint Elizabeth of Hungary Feast Day—November 17 Elizabeth’s short life was nonetheless full; she had a happy marriage and children, was a secular Franciscan, and was so devoted to the poor and sick that she gave away royal robes and founded hospitals.
The daughter of a Hungarian king, Elizabeth married a nobleman of Thuringia, Louis, at age 14. He complained about the expense of her many charities until he witnessed a miracle involving Elizabeth, bread, and roses.
After he died during a Crusade, she became a Third Order Franciscan at Marburg, Germany, where she founded a hospital to care for the sick.
Elizabeth, who was declared a saint in 1235, is the patron of bakers, young brides, widows, those falsely accused, countesses and secular Franciscans.
