amount more. The spiritual talents entrusted to us during
our pilgrimage on earth also have the potential for yielding
extraordinary results. These spiritual gifts must be invested.
In other words, they must be used. When used, they help
build up the kingdom of God. They bring peace and comfort to the despairing. They bring the good news to the disenfranchised. They bring food and shelter to the hungry and
homeless. As the liturgical year winds down, this parable
asks us to assess the extent to which we have invested our
spiritual talents. Their potential is extraordinary. How extraordinary are the results of our investment of them in the
last year?

Toys for Chard Wray Food Pantry Fun Room
Do you have toys at home that your children no longer play
with and are in good condition. What about children’s books?
If you have any of these good, used items or would like to donate new items, please bring them to the Chard Wray Food
Pantry or drop them off in Flannery O’Connor Hall marked
“Fun Room”. A volunteer at the Food Pantry would like to
have a room for the client’s children to play in while the parents are completing paperwork and obtaining food. The only
thing they ask not to donate are crayons or markers as they
don’t want original artwork on the walls.
Thank you for your continued support of the Chard Wray
Food Pantry.

CALLING ALL ANGELS.
The ANGEL TREE will be in the church hall beginning November 29th and remain up through December 14th. This is
an annual project sponsored by Sacred Heart Helping Hands Society. During this time we are asking parishioners to
please stop by and pick out an angel ornament. Each angel ornament represents a boy or girl whose Christmas could be
made brighter by your Christmas gift donation. (These names have been provided to us by the Baldwin County Department of Family and Children Service and are children in need.) Gift suggestions will be listed on the ornament, as well
as the age of the child. Once a gift is purchased, all you have to do is return it to the church hall, unwrapped, along with
the angel ornament. We will then take all of the gifts to DFCS in time for them to get to the children by Christmas. We
appreciate your support and God bless you for your generosity.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
All Christians in both East and West embraced the care of the sick as essential to church life. In the West, the importance of the visit of the priest is stressed, while in the East, the sick person is brought to the church for a full Liturgy of
the Word. Some, such as the Armenians, even call it the “Ritual of the Lamp,” since the oil is poured out of the lamp by
which the Word is read. This may be why Eastern Christians sometimes anoint the sick with this oil, since the trip to
church might kill them.
Our tradition in the West also unfolded in monasteries, where it was possible for infirm monks to be attended with a
full and beautifully consoling liturgy. In 950 the monks of St. Alban’s Abbey in Mainz produced a ceremonial book that
was instantly a pastoral hit everywhere. There were two lengthy rituals for the sick, one an extended vigil, and the other
a liturgy of anointing that included Communion under both species. While this ritual was a house formula for monks, it
is easy to see how monks who had the care of parishes desired to serve their parishioners in a similar way. The first form
included the chanting of penitential psalms, and the second form required a confession beforehand. Both forms included
a laying on of hands, which everyone understood as being an essential part of penance.
Raising Thankful Children
Gratitude is a feeling of appreciation or thanks. God is good
and all gifts come from him. “All good giving and every perfect gift is from above…” (James 1:17) Therefore, satisfaction, happiness, and spiritual growth are direct results of recognizing the many blessings God has bestowed upon us.
Gratitude is like a muscle. It takes practice to make this quality strong in our children.
GET READY
The Letters of Paul to the Thessalonians are among
his earliest writings, and are driven by his belief and the
belief of the entire early Christian community that the
return of Christ was imminent. Therefore, to devote time
or attention to anything else was foolish.
As time progressed, this fervor receded a bit. Today
we may wonder, when we hear these readings about the
coming end-times, if we should take them to heart. What
should we do when we hear that the day of the Lord will
come upon us “like a thief at night”? (1 Thessalonians
5:2) Does this mean we are to stop our long-range goalsetting, get rid of our yearly calendars and planners, or
stop putting money in the college education fund? Of
course not. What it does mean is that we need to change
our lives, living like children of the light and illuminating
the world around us with the light of the gospel. Then, on
that day, when the details of our daily living become unimportant, we will be ready to find our peace and security
in Christ Jesus.
Thank God. The best way we can teach gratitude is to be
grateful ourselves. Make recognizing blessings a constant
conversation with God throughout the day that includes your
children. Together, thank God in the morning for another day,
before opening a gift, prior to eating a meal, for a warm bath.
Best of all, thank God for the gift of family.
Thank the family. Studies show that we are more likely to
thank strangers than o9ur families. Thank your child for
chores well done, for completing homework, for being pleasant. Thank your spouse for making dinner, for yard work, for
thoughtful gestures.
Thank the community. Children learn by doing. In return
for blessings your family has received, come up with a plan to
bless others. Perhaps your child could do extra chores to earn
money to put in the poor box, volunteer at a charity, do yard
work for a neighbor, or donate a toy.
"The important thing is not to think
much but to love much; and so do that
which best stirs you to love."
— St. Teresa of Avila
