REFLECTION
In today’s Gospel, Jesus prophesies of the terrible things that will come upon the world. In frightening detail he speaks of war and rumours of wars, earthquakes, natural disasters, family betrayal, false prophets and persecution for loving God. In our day we see the human suffering from war and natural disasters. Jesus assures us that these are signs from heaven. He strengthens us with his words: “I will give you words and wisdom. Not a hair of your head will perish. By your endurance you will gain your souls.” How do we endure? In his wisdom, the Lord draws us closer in times of trouble. The omnipotent God loves us and invites us to trust in him. During the fall of communism in Poland, Pope St. John Paul spoke these words to the people– “Be not afraid” - illustrating the power of this trust in God.
SHARELIFE CAMPAIGN
You can be a hero for those in need! Your year-end gift will double in value!
From now until the end of 2022, your contribution to our parish’s ShareLife campaign will be matched by an anonymous donor up to a total of $1 million. When you give to ShareLife, you support agencies like Mary Centre. Here’s how your contribution makes a difference for the work of this agency:
“Thank you to all who donate to ShareLife. With each donation we receive, we are able to attain our goals of assisting people in their efforts in building a good life, and also providing a safe place for people with a developmental disability to stay so that their families/caregivers and themselves can get some needed respite.”
Our goal this year is $106,000. To date we have achieved $84,600. Please give using a ShareLife envelope, online through our parish website, or at sharelife.org/donate.
