Tree Project update: thanks to Diane McClug in Plano I am looking into some possibilities.

November 4: we are planning a Sunday Mass of Remembrance, i.e., remembering family members & friends no longer with us, tying it in with the All Saints feast. More on the ritual later.  We are talking about putting pictures & candles on a table on the stage or just on the stage.  Other ideas are welcome.

Any adults or families interested in a spiritual growth program after Masses during the winter?  Jane Williams has offered to coordinate it.  I may even get to sit in occasionally.  J.S.

I am looking for someone who lives in the area of Parker & Ohio who would be willing to bring Marie Green to Sunday Mass.  She is now living at Sunrise Retirement.  J.S.

See you Sunday.

Amos 6:  Woe to the complacent in Zion!  Lying upon beds of ivory, stretched comfortably on their couches, they eat lambs taken from the flock,  and calves from the stall!
1 Timothy 6:  But you, man of God, pursue righteousness, devotion, faith, love, patience, and gentleness.
 Luke 16:  “There was a rich man who dressed in purple garments and fine linen and dined sumptuously each day.  And lying at his door was a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, who would gladly have eaten his fill of the scraps that fell from the rich man’s table.

 

Nothing we manage to amass here can change the value of what we really are underneath it all. “Why, snatch at wealth, and hoard and stock it?” Betty Paoli writes. “Your shroud, you know, will have no pocket.”

Genesis 18:  "Please, let not my Lord grow angry if I speak up this last time.  What if there are at least ten there?"  He replied, "For the sake of those ten, I will not destroy  it."

Colossians 2:  You were buried with him in baptism, in which you were also raised with him through faith in the power of God, who raised him from the dead.

Luke 11:  "And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

                              

                                                                   

It is doubt, not certitude, that enables us to believe, because it requires us to think deeply about an entire subject.
