Thanking you in advance for your help with this. A CROSS OF OUR OWN MAKING Let us remember that it is not God who makes many of the crosses that we commonly call the “crosses of our lives.” Our heavenly Father makes “straight paths for our feet,” and if we would go in His way, if we would straighten our wills to His will, and lay them side by side, there would be no crosses. But when the path that God points out goes north and south, and our stubborn wills lead us east and west, the consequence is a cross, a cross of our own making, not that blessed Cross which the Master bids us “take up and carry after Him.” We choose and create these crosses, to the sorrow of our Saviour, not His fulfillment and it is only through continual prayer and devotion that we can recognize this weakness. Only then can we drop these personal burdens and pick up the true cross of Christ, of which is rightly said, “He always carries the heaviest end Himself.” TRUE THANKFULNESS No one can really give thanks unless within his heart he deeply feels that undeserved blessings have been bestowed upon him. Our great sin is our carefree assumption that we deserve what God gives and that we are free to do with it what we please.”

OUR TREASURE IN HEAVEN Jesus spoke often about the treasure prepared in heaven for the faithful. But what does it mean to us here on earth, this building up of treasure? To lay up treasure in heaven is to do acts which promote, which belong in the kingdom of God. Our Lord assures us that any act of our hands, any thought of our heart, any word of our lips which promotes the divine kingdom – acts of love, mercy, charity, even pity – all such activity is stored up in the divine treasure house. And when the heavenly city, the New Jerusalem, appears our efforts will be repaid in the glory and majesty of the new kingdom. Our action may be thankless here, our generosity spurned, our love rejected, but each act lays another coin in our kingdom “bank account” waiting for withdrawal as we enter Paradise.

MESSAGE OF POPE FRANCIS ON THE WORLD DAY OF PRAYER FOR THE CARE OF CREATION: On Sept 1 Pope Francis stated in his message in celebration of the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, “I am very pleased that the theme chosen for the celebration of the 2020 Season of Creation is Jubilee for the Earth … a sacred time to remember, return, rest, restore, and rejoice.” To read our Holy Father’s message and to learn about the 5 R’s of the Jubilee Year: Info http://www.vatican.va/content/francesco/en/messages/pont-messages/2020/documents/papa-francesco_20200901_messaggio-giornata-cura-creato.html.

Sunday Morning Smile Marvin has a binging problem which happens to him every year the day after Thanksgiving. "Why must you gorge yourself on leftovers?" his wife asked. "Don't you have any self-control?" "What are you talking about, woman?" Marvin replied. "I just can’t quit cold turkey!"

DEVELOPMENT AND PEACE The pandemic has highlighted how vulnerable and interconnected everyone is. If we do not take care of one another, starting with the least, with those who are most impacted, including creation, we cannot heal the world. - Pope Francis, August, 12, 2020. Archbishop Terry Prendergast is supporting a collection for Development and Peace on Sunday, November 15th, 2020. More information to follow, but please keep the needs of the most impacted in your prayers & thoughts.

ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen. St. Alphonsus de Liguori

BOUNTIFUL GOD You have blessed us in ways that we cannot even begin to number. We are aware that we take so much for granted. We assume the abundance before us will always be ours. Be with us, members of your family, faithful followers of your Word. Help us to become aware of your gifts and not to take even the smallest among them for granted. Help us to develop a thankful heart and grateful spirit. Bless the food that we share today. Bless our family, our friends, those who go without, the poor, the abandoned, the lonely and the forgotten. We pray in the name of Jesus our Lord.
