Padre’s point of view . . .
Pope Francis has invited us to begin praying and meditating with the idea of Mercy for the next year. So, I will have the
Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy as the subject of Padre’s Point of View. So we will look at each one of these in
depth. I hope you enjoy these weekly reflections.
The Corporal works of mercy are:
The spiritual works of mercy are:
To feed the hungry;
To give drink to the thirsty;
To clothe the naked;
To harbor the harborless;
To visit the sick;
To ransom the captive;
To bury the dead.
To instruct the ignorant;
To counsel the doubtful;
To admonish sinners;
To bear wrongs patiently;
To forgive offences willingly;
To comfort the afflicted;
To pray for the living and the dead.

Second Sunday of Advent - The Extraordinary Jubilee of Mercy
opens on Tuesday, 8 December, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception and the Feast day for the dioceses of the United States of America. We are given twelve months to be merciful like the Father, to make this a daily habit. Mary’s life
gives us a pattern for our own. How can I magnify, sing the praise of God today? How can I be more like her – full of grace?

Pro-Life Corner
One unique way to observe Advent is to use the time,
among other preparations, to ponder the maternity of the
Blessed Mother and the value of life from its earliest beginnings in the womb. Doing this, we will remember anew
that while there was only one Savior of the world in the
Divine Christ Child, who was both God and man, every
person is a gift. Every life has potential and God does not
make mistakes – every child is wanted and loved by Him,
even if rejected by his own mother and father.
(Excerpt from www.integratedcatholiclife.org, 12/10/11)

Haiti Mission Trip - by Carol Toney
I miss my 'mission boots'. They had a LOT of miles on
them over 20 years in Haiti, Honduras and Bolivia. Now
I'm headed back to Haiti in January with a group of 12 to
work in the mission fields of Ferrier. I wish I could take
everyone to meet my friends in Haiti. They are so wonderful, fun & appreciative. But as much as we give, we receive
so much more in return. Would you help us to serve these
people in the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere?
"Some give, some go." We are looking for monetary donations to purchase the medication & construction supplies we
will need. Any contribution (large or small) is tax deductible & can be sent to:
