When we share this gift we bring others to a closer relationship with God. St. Paul was commissioned by our Lord to bring the gospel to the Gentiles. His understanding of the kingdom of God became the basis for the faith that eventually spread throughout the world. In the gospel today Jesus explains through a parable the importance of wisdom. We don’t become wise by accident, but must pursue knowledge and understanding so that we are always ready to follow the path god sets before us. Faith enables our love of God to grow and wisdom allows us to share that love with our neighbor. May Wisdom find us ready to seek God and serve our neighbor. Word of Life “To trust in God’s timing for our passing into eternity requires courage, humility, and sometimes great spiritual strength. This final stage of life, when we focus our attention on the things that really count, can be a time of deep reflection, of forgiveness and reconciliation within the family, and of finding peace in one’s relationship with God.” Respect Life Parish News Moline: Altar Society Meeting is Saturday, Nov. 12 after Mass in the parish hall Knights of Columbus Meeting on Nov. 16 at 7 pm.
