I found this image on the internet. It is not mine, but I will gladly give credit if the photographer comes forward.


Thursday, December 1
ADVENT WEEKDAY
First Thursday of the Month—Our Guardian Angel
Is 26: 1-6

Mt 7: 21, 24-27

MONTHLY INTENTION
That, well aware of our insufficiency and unworthiness, we may realize the need to draw near the font of life in all humility and trust and be nourished with Your Word, Father and with the Body of Christ, invoking life, love and mercy for all men and women.

Father Tom: The last petition in our 9-Point Offertory Prayer is the most important. Without this “drawing near” we can at best impress people, not convert them. Much room for illusion on this point.


Please Pray for Our Deceased: Sr. Christine Rimmele FSP (1991)—Sr. M. Raffaella Bernardini FSP (1992)—Fr. Emilio Mammana SSP (1996)—Fr. Ivo March IJP (2001)—Ray Hopponen (no year)—Frank Mahoney (no date).
