Assumption-Florian Parish Bulletin, November 17, 2024

 

“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 – it’s 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?
