Christian Community, focus our time, talent, and treasure on sharing the Gospel
of our Lord in Word and Deed.
The Sacramental Life

or adoption.
Anointing of the Sick:
Please call the Parish Office during serious illness or before surgery.
Shut-Ins:
If you know anyone who cannot come to Church, please let the office know, so

And then they will see the Son of Man coming in the
clouds with great power and glory. (MARK 13:26)
We will all have that day when we are standing before God
and our life is played out like a movie. When
this
happens and God asks each of us, What have you done with the gifts that I have
given you? How
will
you respond? The good news its never too late to start living a grateful and
generous lifestyle.

Do Something Beautiful for God The
Essential Teachings of Mother Teresa
November 15 One day we will each meet the Lord
of the Universe. What will we tell Him about the life we lived
about how we treated
His other children?
November 16 Poverty makes us free. We need to
experience the joy of poverty. We choose poverty, we choose not to have things,
unlike the poorest of the poor who are forced to be poor. If we do not have something,
it is because we choose not to have it. In this, we are free because nothing
belongs to us. Our poverty means that we do not have the kind of shoes we may
want or the house we may want. We cannot keep things or give anything away or
lend anything of value. We have nothing. We own nothing. This is the experience
of poverty.
November 17 There is nothing wrong with money.
It is what we do with it that makes it a positive or negative influence in our
lives. But I have seen it destroy people time and time again. So, be watchful.
Nothing will destroy our joy and our connection with God like money.
November 18 Let your light shine! Jesus asks
this of us all. But to keep a lamp burning, we have to keep putting oil in it.
Pray. Pray. Pray.
November 19 All our words will be useless unless
they come from within. Words that do not give the light of Christ increase the
darkness. Today, more than ever, we need to pray for the light to know the will
of God, for the love to accept the will of God, for the courage to do the will
of God.
November 20 Be kind to each other. It is better
to commit faults with gentleness than to work miracles with unkindness.
November 21 Do we know our poor people? Do we
know the poor in our house, in our family? Perhaps they are not hungry for a
piece of bread. Perhaps our children, husband, wife, are not hungry for food,
or naked, or dispossessed. But are you sure there is no one there who feels
unwanted, deprived of affection?
