We have to love those we see on the street, in the train, in the stores, in the doctor’s waiting –room and…everywhere (VMC 1321).

Father Tom: We have also to ask ourselves what we believe about our vocation as contrasted with what we know. If we are convinced of the significant spiritual advantages of membership…can we ever stop at least looking for someone to share it with?

Please Pray for Our Deceased: Fr. Davide Cordero SSP (1958)—Fr. Antonio Sabarino SSP (1963)—Sr. M. Domenica Bassi FSP (1984)—Ch. Jairo Enriquie Galtan Aguilar SSP (1987)—Fr.

Our promotion work must try to reach everyone and especially, perhaps, the unlikely types. We must be Good Shepherds, secure in our own vocation and yearning to bring it to others (VMC 1324).

Father Tom: Let’s begin the new year with great plans for that special ONE we intend to enroll (forgetting the ones who ‘got away!”).

Please Pray for Our Deceased: Sr. Rosaria Nazzazri SGBP (1950)—Fr. Jozef Labedz SSP (1967)—Sr. Aloisia M. Acciarri FSP (1977)—Fr. Sperandio Ravendoldi IJP (1985)—Sr. M.
