THE SANCTUARY LAMP
Burns this week for the Glory and Honor of God
and a Special Intention by Rich & Pam Emerling.
FAITH MOMENT REFLECTION
It's easy to forget that there is a difference between empathy and sympathy. The scripture
readings today help us understand the difference. Sympathy tends to foster pity for
others in need, whereas when we empathize with others, we seek to understand their
experiences and get involved to help. The widow in the first reading had empathy for
Elijah and gave him the last of her food and drink. In the scripture from the Book of
Mark, the poor widow had empathy for others and gave away what little money she had.
Next time you are in a situation where you sympathize with someone, see if you can
empathize instead. Try to identify with their needs and determine what you can do to
help, even it if means a little sacrifice on your part. We can look to Jesus as the ultimate
example of empathy, giving all He had so that we may have eternal happiness in heaven.
ST. PADRE PIO HEALING MASS
Wednesday, Nov. 14 at 6:00 pm.
Always after the Healing Mass there will be
exposition of the Most Holy Sacrament, the
Divine Mercy Chaplet and adoration for a 1/2
hour.

stjohnrcchurch.org The 2019 Mass Book still has plenty of Masses open for

schedule a Mass for your loved one. The Deceased are wait-
ing for our help in Masses.

We are not accepting womens clothes at this time.
If anyone is interested in volunteering, please contact Laurie
Derby (716-648-9607) or Kathy Bryne (716-648-6121) for
information, and to join the car pool on our scheduled dates.

Thank you for your continued support and generosity to our

person. The collection from last weekend:
St. John’s Offertory: $2,702 | St. Mary’s Offertory: $612

Please consider honoring your loved one(s) or a special event
with a memorial bookplate to be placed in our new Missals.
To sponsor the purchase of these new Missals, you may fill
out a form (at the back of church) and return it to the Office
with a $20 offering. Please note: the deadline for accepting
memorial bookplates is Sunday, Novem-

We need to order the bookplates soon.
