Humbled or Exalted?
A few weeks ago (22nd Sunday in Ordinary Time)
we had a Gospel about humility in social life today
we hear the Lord reiterating the message, but this
time in reference to our prayer lives. The two
Gospels are linked by the last words today, which
also appear in the other story:
Everyone who exalts himself will be humbled, but
the one who humbles himself will be exalted.
This phrase is obviously a key part of our Lord’s
teaching! The sin of self-exaltation consists in
putting others in a lower place as the Pharisee
does to the tax collector. Perhaps the most telling
phrase in today’s Gospel is where Jesus refers to
the Pharisee saying this prayer to himself, rather
than offering it to God! And since the Pharisee
wasn’t talking to God, how could he expect to be
heard?

Elgin Street Mission: Silent/Live Auction & Fund Raising
Stitching a Solidarity
Quilt across Canada
The Canadian Catholic Organization for Development and Peace (D&P) will be celebrating
its 50th Anniversary in 2017. To commemorate 50 years of
solidarity work with countries of the Global South, DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE has launched the stitching of a ‘Solidarity
Quilt’ that is travelling the country from West to East (British
Columbia to Ontario) and from East to West (Newfoundland
to Quebec).
The nation-wide pilgrimage was launched on Ash Wednesday,
February 10, 2016 with the first squares of the quilt stitched in
St. John’s, Newfoundland and in Victoria, British Columbia.
Since then each Canadian diocese has been invited to add a
square to the quilt as it passes through. All are invited to
attend a special Pilgrimage Mass which will be celebrated by
Bishop Marcel Damphousse, on Sunday November 6 at 11:00
AM at Ste. Anne de Pins Church in Sudbury, when the two
quilt pieces from the Anglophone and Francophone D&P
Diocesan Councils of the Diocese of Sault Ste. Marie will be
added to the growing quilt. When the patches complete their
pilgrimage just before Easter of 2017, they will be sewn
together to create a huge quilt; a work of human hands that
will represent the solidarity that has been lived by Canadians
and people of the Global South throughout the 50 year history
of DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE.

Advent Retreat at Villa Loyola
A STITCH IN TIME – The fabrics that quilt your life
Friday December 2 (7 pm) to Sunday December 4 (1 pm), 2016
Director: Fr. Philip Chircop, S.J.
This retreat finds its inspiration in the human heart’s longing for
belonging. We all yearn to belong and be “at home” in our own skin,
at home in the community, at home in the world and at home in the
universe that hosts us.
Quite often, numbed by lack of presence, focus and attention, we live
a deeply fragmented and dismembered life. This way of life divides
us within ourselves, thinking one thing, feeling another, and doing a
third.
We will thus explore a few basic “stitches” that can sew our lives
together again into one “seamless garment”.
Cost: $230.00, all inclusive
(a non-refundable $30 deposit is required with registration)
For more information and registration

PARISH INFORMATION - Phone 705-566-8330
Justification is knowing who God is and what our relationship to God is. It is addressing
God as God and letting God be God. It is acknowledging humbly who we are before God:
sinners in need of mercy. The exaltation at the end of time is determined by whether we
are justified, that is, humble and in right relationship to God. Good works alone don’t
justify us—it is right relationship with God. This is our exaltation—humbly seeking and
standing before our God.
