SEEKING WISDOM ✤ LIVING VIRTUE ✤ ENCOUNTERING CHRIST

Happy Feast of St. Catherine Laboure' Let us pray to her her intercession. Saint Catherine Labouré, you were the chosen confidant of the Blessed Virgin Mary. She revealed to you her desire that her children wear the Miraculous Medal as a mark of their love for her and in honor of her Immaculate Conception. Intercede for us, that we may follow our heavenly mother's desires. Ask that we may receive those special graces which flow from her motherly hands like rays of light. Amen

We are quickly approaching Thanksgiving. Which is a wonderful time to gather at the table with family and friends. It wonderfully parallels coming to the Eucharistic table during Mass. The word Thanksgiving means Eucharist. So as you are sitting around your Thanksgiving table remember to give thanks for the gift of the Eucharist.

Tomorrow we begin our theme for the month of November, Peace. Peace can mean many things, quiet, calmness, grace. When we think about christian peace, we think of the peace of our Lord. In Philippeans, we are told to not be anxious about anything but instead by prayers and petitions with thanksgiving to present our requests to God. We know that God knows us better than we know ourselves and he will bring goodness out of any situation. So let us be a peaceful people, bringing our needs to God.

Happy Tuesday!  There is a lot going on over the next few weeks! Please read the newsletter carefully so you don't miss anything.
