early during pregnancy 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

priest six months prior to the desired date of marriage. If a Catholic is

...giving thanks to the Father, who has
made you fit to share in the inheritance of the holy ones in light. COLOSSIANS
1:12 God wants us to be happy! Instead of looking at the Ten Commandments as
being restrictive and telling us what we cant do, look at them as guides for
living a joy-filled and peaceful life. Most of our problems arise when we put
our own needs first or we spend most of our time trying to acquire more stuff.
Instead, try putting God first in all things. We were made for God. Open your
heart and let Him in!

Do Something
Beautiful for God The Essential Teachings of Mother Teresa
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?
November 22 A life not lived for other is a life not lived.
November 23 -I remember that at the beginning of my work I had a very high
fever and in that delirious fever I went before Saint Peter. Go back! There
are no slums in Heaven! he said to me. So, I got very angry with him, and I
said, Very well! I will fill Heaven with people from the slums and then you
will have slums!
November 24 If you are joyful, it will shine in your eyes, in your
conversation, and in your countenance. You will not be able to hide it because
joy overflows.
November 25 Go out into the world today and love the people you meet.
November 26 We can improve our prayer and, flowing from that, our charity
toward others. It can be difficult to pray when we don't know how, but we can
help ourselves using silence. Souls of prayer are souls of great silence. This
silence takes a lot of sacrifice, but if we really want to pray, now is the
time to take that step. Without the first step toward silence, we will not be able
to reach our goal, which is union with God.
November 27 The future belongs to God. It is in the hands. I find it much
easier to accept today, because yesterday is gone and tomorrow has not come. I
have only today.
