CHRISTMAS TOY DRIVE
As Christmas approaches we ask our parishioners to keep the
less fortunate in mind and if possible, assist them by donating
a new unwrapped toy. It’s very heart warming to realize that
these donations will find their way to children that might not
have a present to open on Christmas morning. On behalf of
the brotherhood of the Holy Name Society, we thank you in
advance for your wonderful donations and know that you will
bring a smile to a child’s face. Please call Arthur Borik, HNS
secretary, at 718-720-6379 if you have any questions. Dona-
tions start this weekend and ends Wednesday, December
18
th
. Please place new, unwrapped toys in the Christmas box
in the lobby.

MARIAN CONSECRAT1ON
His Eminence, Cardinal Dolan is offering an opportunity to
bring to our archdiocesan family something of a spiritual con-
version, a light within the darkness of these troubled times.
All are invited to consider joining in consecrating themselves
to the Blessed Virgin Mary on the Feast of the Immaculate
Conception, December 8
th
. Through the goodness of the of-
fice of young adult outreach we have received 160 copies of
the consecration book, 33 Days to Morning Glory. They are
in the narthex and you may take one home. These consecra-
tion books map out everything you need to know. Please take
one home and use it with your family.
FIRST WEEK OF ADVENT
Please bring the candles from your
Advent Wreath for a blessing after
Mass next weekend.

the entrance of the Church, along

of the Church. A maximum of 75 trees will be dis-
played. The cost of each tree will be $200 and will be
sold on a first come first serve basis. Forms are availa-
ble in the lobby. Parishioners wishing to purchase a

payment to the rectory. Checks should be made paya-
ble to the Holy Name Society.

On Death
by Saint John Vianney
A day will come, perhaps it is not far off, when we
must bid adieu to life, adieu to the world, adieu to our relations,
adieu to our friends. When shall we return, my children? Nev-
er. We appear upon this earth, we disappear, and we return no
more; our poor body, that we take such care of, goes away into
dust, and our soul, all trembling, goes to appear before the
good God. When we quit this world, where we shall appear no
more, when our last breath of life escapes, and we say our last
adieu, we shall wish to have passed our life in solitude, in the
depths of a desert, far from the world and its pleasures. We
have these examples of repentance before our eyes every day,
my children, and we remain always the same. We pass our life
gaily, without ever troubling ourselves about eternity. By our
indifference to the service of the good God, one would think
we were never going to die.
See, my children, some people pass their whole life
without thinking of death. It comes, and behold! They have
nothing; faith, hope, and love, all are already dead within them.
When death shall come upon us, of what use will three-quarters
of our life have been to us? With what are we occupied the
greatest part of our time? Are we thinking of the good God, of
our salvation, of our soul? Oh my children! What folly is the
world! We come into it, we go out of it, without knowing why.
The good God places us in it to serve Him, to try if we will
love Him and be faithful to His law; and after this short mo-
ment of trial, He promises us a recompense. Is it not just that
He should reward the faithful servant and punish the wicked
one? Should the Trappist, who has passed his life in lamenting
and weeping over his sins, be treated the same as the bad
Christian, who has lived in abundance in the midst of all the
enjoyments of life? No; certainly not. We are on earth not to
enjoy its pleasures, but to labor for our salvation.
Let us prepare ourselves for death; we have not a mi-
nute to lose: it will come upon us at the moment when we least
expect it; it will take us by surprise. Look at the saints, my chil-
dren, who were pure; they were always trembling, they pined
away with fear; and we, who so often offend the good God--we
have no fears. Life is given us that we may learn to die well,
and we never think of it. We occupy ourselves with everything
else. The idea of it often occurs to us, and we always reject it;
we put it off to the last moment. Oh my
children! This last moment, how much it is
to be feared! Yet the good God does not
wish us to despair; He shows us the good
thief, touched with repentance, dying near
Him on the cross; but he is the only one;
and then see, he dies near the good God.
Can we hope to be near Him at our last mo-
ment--we who have been far from Him all
our life? What have we done to deserve that
favor? A great deal of evil, and no good.
