Pastor’s Column
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

So much of our prayer comes down to SURRENDER … surrendering to THY will over MY will. Isn’t that the ultimate
struggle for all of us?

During this Advent Season, I want to once again strongly encourage you all to pray “The Surrender Novena” given by
Jesus to Fr. Dolindo Ruotolo. Day 1 of the Novena is so beautifully powerful in its simplicity. It states quite simply and
quite sublimely:

“Why do you confuse yourselves by worrying? Leave the care of your affairs to ME and everything will be peaceful.
I say to you in truth that every act of true, blind, complete surrender to ME produces the effect that you desire and
resolves all difficult situations."

Freeing ourselves from worry over things we cannot control is one of the most difficult things in the world. I know it is for
me. So let’s all unite ourselves in this posture of prayerful surrender during the Advent season.

May God bless you all!

Yours in Christ,

Fr. Dan Shaughnessy

Preparing for Christmas by Giving to our Neighbors in
Need.
One of the very best ways of preparing for Christmas is to
start giving gifts early -- not so much the kind of gifts we
usually give to relatives and friends on Christmas, but the
life-saving donations to those most in need, especially those
who are living on the edge of survival. For the poor in our
neighborhoods and surrounding areas, such gifts are                                   Prime Timers
priceless.                                                      Our next meeting will be held on Wednesday, December 18
Please consider donating to help a Neighbor in Need. It will    at 12:30 in the Corpus Christi Center. This is our annual
be a real gift.                                                 Christmas party, so remember to bring your $5 gift!
Please join us at one of our next meetings –                    All parishioners 55 and over are welcome to join us. For
Prayer Meeting – Weds, Jan 8th and Business Meeting –           information call Lorraine 636-333-2855 or just come to the

    Dynamic Catholic, Alive! —Gaudete Sunday
    Gaudete Sunday—Rejoice! But true joy comes by
    way of true repentance, so John the Baptist reminds
    us. The desire for holiness, the pursuit of genuine
    freedom from sin and death—these are the things that
    inspire us first to renounce evil and then to prepare a
    way for Christ to enter our hearts, minds, and souls to
    bring not only mercy, forgiveness, healing,
    consolation, and peace—but also the authentic
    Christian joy arising from redeeming grace. (CCC
