2nd Sunday of Advent, December 7, 2025

Isaiah 11:  Then the wolf shall be a guest of the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; the calf and the young lion shall browse together, with a little child to guide them.
Romans 15:  May the God of endurance and encouragement grant you to think in harmony with one another, in keeping with Christ Jesus, that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Matthew 3:  I am baptizing you with water, for repentance, but the one who is coming after me is mightier than I.  I am not worthy to carry his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Rosemary’s Blessing:

Prayer for Good Humor
by St. Thomas More

Grant me, O Lord, good digestion, and also something to digest.
Grant me a healthy body, and the necessary good humor to maintain it.
Grant me a simple soul that knows to treasure all that is good
and that doesn’t frighten easily at the sight of evil,
but rather finds the means to put things back in their place.
Give me a soul that knows not boredom, grumblings, sighs and laments,
nor excess of stress, because of that obstructing thing called “I.”
Grant me, O Lord, a sense of good humor.
Allow me the grace to be able to take a joke to discover in life a bit of joy,
and to be able to share it with others.

 

John Stack Ministries meets on Sunday for Mass at
9:30 at the ArtCentre of Plano,
902 E. 16th St, Plano, Texas.

Recently he was successful in getting disability and some significant compensation.  Last Sunday at Mass he gave the ministry a check for $15,000. I and everyone was quite moved, never expecting or asking for return payment.  The board has suggested that we place this amount into a money market. We will use the interest and save the principle for emergencies. Thanks first to our member and secondly to you all for your non-stop generosity!

    Happy Birthday: Beth Robinson, Hope & Holden Bentley, Maria Gorman, Stacey McKinley, Jon Waldron.
