Thought for the day…

Week of Dec. 5/ Dec. 11, 2021

Second Sunday of Advent

 Sun, Dec. 5      While the body needs bread, the heart needs love. It is Christ who has

                          revealed to us that we are all children of a Father who love us and

                          who wishes to satisfy our hunger for love.

                                                                                Servant of God, Bishop William Giaquinta

Feast of St.  Nicholas

 Mon, Dec. 6     In God and with God, I love even the person whom I do not like or

                           even know. This can only take place on the basis of an intimate encounter

                           with God, an encounter which has become a communion of will, even

                           affecting my feeling.

                                                                                                                Pope Benedict XVI

 Suggestion: Show your love for all

                                                          Feast of Ambrose

            Tue, Dec. 7         The Lord in reply said to her: “Martha, Martha, you are anxious and upset about many things: one thing only is required. Mary has chosen the better portion and she shall not be deprived of it.”

         Wed, Dec. 8         O Mary, we your children come to you. Pray for us, Mother of God. Pray for us who are torn by hatred, divided by self-interest, locked within ourselves

by ambition…

                                          Servant of God, Bishop William Giaquinta
