“We proclaim Jesus as Lord and ourselves as servants for His sake.”

November 18, 2012 Thirty-third Sunday in Ordinary Time

Parish Contribution

Over the past two weeks, the Finance Council of

the National Shrine of the Little Flower and I have

attempted to contact all registered parishioners

through a personal letter asking for your increased

support for the parish. As we plan for the future,

such an increase is necessary if we are to continue

the services and programs that we offer. The

support of the National Shrine parish members is

very generous and truly appreciated. However,

every couple of years increased costs and inflation

catch up with us. The last time we formally asked all

parish members to adjust their support level was 14

years ago.

Please reflect carefully on your level of support

and whether it is possible to offer a bit more to your

parish at this time. Please pray for the success of this

endeavor, especially that those of our parish who

do not regularly contribute will begin to accept their

share of the responsibility for enabling the National

Shrine to continue in its mission of worship,

education and service.

I know that there are many of our parishioners

who care deeply about our parish and who will

support it to the best of their ability. We thank you

for this and look forward to your response to our

Appeal at this time. A generous response will help

us to plan for the next couple of years with security

and confidence.

Please review the material you receive and use

the commitment envelope mailed to you. You may

also wish to consider using Faith Direct, the direct

deposit program for regular Sunday offering and

special collections. I use this method personally and

find it very convenient.

Advent Giving Projects

It’s time to get ready for the Advent Season when we prepare our

hearts and homes to welcome Jesus in the many ways He presents

Himself to us. One of those ways is to serve those in great need.

The first part of our Giving tree collection is to ask you to purchase a NEW BOOK

for a child, ages 2 through 18. These will become part of a gift package prepared

by the Ladies of Charity, Catholic women who serve those in great need. Some of

the 900 families are served through the Jail Ministry, Catholic Social Services and the

Pontiac area parishes. We will collect NEW, unwrapped story books in a box in

Heritage Hall until Sunday, December 2. We will also have a collection box near the

Giving Tree in church and in Heritage Hall. The books will be collected after the

Masses and secured.

1000 pairs of new tube Socks for the Jail Ministry are needed by December 9.

Collection bins are in the vestibules, or socks may be dropped off at the office

during the week. Thanks very much!

Our Giving Tree invites you to make a generous cash or check donation to help

many of our core city Catholic ministries for children, the homeless, and the elderly

in need. Families who eat at the Soup Kitchens receive help, too.

New Gift Cards are also appreciated by many of those projects that request our

help. Checks may be written to Shrine Giving Tree and dropped in the collection or

at the parish office. Truly it is more blessed to give than to receive. Every sacrifice

you make will be given with prayer and love to those in need of the hope and

peace of Christmas.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Day Mass is at 9:00 am on Thursday, November 22. Attending Mass is

certainly a great way to begin the day with the perfect act of thanksgiving to God, the

Holy Eucharist.

Sacraments of Initiation

The sacraments are divided into: the Sacraments of Christian Initiation (Baptism,

Confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist); The sacraments of healing (Penance and

Anointing of the Sick); and the sacraments at the service of communion and mission

(Holy Orders and Matrimony). The sacraments touch all the important moments of

Christian life. All of the sacraments are ordered to the Holy Eucharist as their end.

Over the last two weeks we have dealt with the teaching of the Church in the

Catechism of the Catholic Church regarding the sacraments of Baptism and

Confirmation. Because the Eucharist is central and the end of all the sacraments we will

spend a few weeks reviewing the teaching of the Church regarding the Holy Eucharist.

The numbers refer to the paragraphs in the Compendium of the Catechism of the

Catholic Church. The numbers in parenthesis refer to the paragraphs in the Catechism

itself.

271. What is the Eucharist?

The Eucharist is the very sacrifice of the Body and Blood of the Lord Jesus which he

instituted to perpetuate the sacrifice of the cross throughout the ages until his return in

glory. Thus he entrusted to his Church this memorial of his death and Resurrection. It is a

sign of unity, a bond of charity, a paschal banquet, in which Christ is consumed, the mind

is filled with grace, and a pledge of future glory is given. (1322-1323, 1409)

272. When did Jesus Christ institute the Eucharist?

Jesus instituted the Eucharist on Holy Thursday “the night when he was betrayed” (1

Corinthians 11:23), as he celebrated the Last Supper with his apostles. (1323, 1337-1340)

274. What does the Eucharist represent in the life of the Church?

It is the source and summit of all Christian life. In the Eucharist, the sanctifying action of

God in our regard and our worship of him reach their high point. It contains the whole

spiritual good of the Church, Christ himself, our Pasch. Communion with divine life and

the unity of the People of God are both expressed and effected by the Eucharist.

Through the Eucharistic celebration we are united already with the liturgy of heaven and

we have a foretaste of eternal life.

Rosie, Carlito & Lord Stanley

This past week Rosie went to the pet beauty parlor. Wow, she looks like a new dog.

Lord Stanley got a bath with shampoo and conditioner. He looks pretty good too. Both

of them are enjoying the cooler weather. Lord Stanley (Stachu) is looking forward to his

first experience with SNOW!

Mass Intentions

Evangelization: The Laity Are Called to

Evangelize in Everyday Life

The task of evangelization is not to be left up to the

bishops, priests, and religious, but is a call to every Catholic. It

is especially a call to the laity, who are the leaven in society.

"Each individual Catholic is to look at his or her everyday life

from the viewpoint of evangelization. Take note of the many

opportunities to support another's faith, to share faith, and to

help build up Jesus' kingdom in our homes and workplaces,

among our neighbors and friends. Catholics should

participate in renewal programs and receive training in

evangelization." (Go and Make Disciples, 136)

Stewardship Thoughts

The Scripture passages from Daniel and St. Mark’s Gospel

speak of the end of time second coming of Christ. At that

time, we know we will have to give an accounting of our

stewardship of God’s blessings to us. For those who have em-

braced Christian stewardship as a way of life and as a witness

of discipleship in Christ to build God’s Kingdom on earth, it will

be a time of great joy and celebration of life eternal with

God. If the end occurred today, would our stewardship allow

us to be counted among God’s elect?

Life Matters

Thanksgiving is a time to thank God for our many blessings – our

family, friends, our faith and our freedoms. This Thanksgiving, the

campaign team for 40 Days for Life Southfield is thanking God for all the

volunteers who participated in this fall’s campaign. Without your

continued support, numerous lives would be untouched by your witness

of love and hope and countless women would not know there are

alternatives to abortion. Shrine covered 3 days of prayer, our Knights of

Columbus filled two hours every night for 40 days, Fr. Lang and Sr.

Noreen came and lead us in prayer and numerous Shrine parishioners

signed up for individual prayer hours beyond the three Shrine Days. You

participated in the largest and longest pro-life mobilization in history.

There were 40 Days of prayer and fasting in 316 locations in 49 U.S. states,

but Washington D.C., 7 Canadian provinces, Australia, England, Spain

and Uganda. Campaigns were held in 13 Michigan cities. Nationwide,

there were at least 604 turnarounds, where women seeking abortion

changed their minds. Several people quit their jobs in the abortion

industry, and clinics advertised immediate openings on their staffs. A

number of abortion centers were closed on days when abortions are

usually performed. Tens of thousands of people took part in 40 Days for

Life events, many engaging in pro-life activities for the first time in their

lives. You may never know the fruit of your efforts, but you should know

your witness and sacrifice do not go unnoticed – THANK YOU. May God

bless you for all your effort for the unborn.

While this Fall’s 40 Days for Life campaign has ended, the work is not

over. Please consider how you may continue to help bring a culture of

life to our nation. Here are some thoughts on how you can help:

• Continue to pray and fast for the end of abortion. Even if 40 Days is

not in front of the clinic, women continue to have abortions at

WomanCare. Consider going and praying in front of the clinic on

your own. Saturdays are especially a busy day. There will be an

online calendar at www.vigilcalendar.com/southfield to sign up for

times to pray from 7 am to 5 pm Monday – Saturday. Come and

pray for Life

• Volunteer to be a side-walk counselor.

• Volunteer at a local crisis pregnancy center (Mother and Unborn

Baby Care - 248.559.7576.

• Contact your local Right To Life Office on how you can help (Right To

Lifespan - 248.816.1546.

• Encourage your children to become involved in or start a pro-life

group at their school.

• Talk to your family, friends and neighbors about life issues. Silence

breeds apathy and ignorance. We need to help educate people

on the reality of abortion and how it really impacts society, not just

the women making the “choice”.

What was St. Padre

Pio's inner spiritual

journey like? You can learn more about

him in the newly received book, Secrets

of a Soul: Padre Pio's Letters to His Spiritual

Directors. "This rare glimpse into the heart

and soul of Padre Pio reveals the

profound spirituality and humanity of the

beloved Capuchin . . . Beyond the

extraordinary events that accompanied

Padre Pio's life, these intimate letters attest

to his personal struggles, worries,

temptations and fears. He suffered much,

but hoped even more in the One he

loved more, Christ Crucified. The letters . .

. prove once again that 'difficulties and

sorrows, if accepted out of love, are

transformed into a privileged way of

holiness' (quote by Pope John Paul II on

back cover). Section 9, Saints)

Lending Library hours are Sundays from 10

am to 2 pm, and Fridays from 9:15 am to Noon,

Since we will not be meeting on the first Sunday of

finding out how we can get the “junk” out of our lives in

order to be closer to Christ.

Grade School Happenings

Art Room

It’s an Art Fair Year! Mark your calendars and save the date for Thursday, March 13, 2013!

First grade artists are finishing up painting pumpkin perspective. They drew with oil pastels and glue and

then they painted over to create a resin.

Our second grade artists have started working on the infamous fish paintings. They reviewed the story The

Rainbow Fish. Then they decided how they could make their fish different. Look for these masterpieces at the

next Dads’ Club Pancake Breakfast.

Revisiting the works of Pablo Picasso is the focus of third grade art. They recently took home their

Halloween composition in his style.

Fourth graders are studying Bridget Riley, an Op artist as they create optical illusion compositions with

complimentary colors.

Fifth graders are finishing up their “Faces in a Crowd” projects and next will be starting their study of the

contemporary artist Wayne Thiebaud.

Finally, our sixth grade artists are starting a cross curricular unit with social studies where they will be studying

and creating Egyptian art in both classes.

We have a lot of talented artists at Shrine!

NATIONAL SHRINE of the Little Flower Holy Father’s Prayer Intentions

November 2012

General Intention: Ministers

of the Gospel. That bishops,

priests, and all ministers of

the Gospel may bear the

courageous witness of

fidelity to the crucified and

risen Lord.

Missionary Intention: Pilgrim Church. That

the pilgrim Church on earth may shine as

a light to the nations.

Year of Faith

Council Quotes

“As often as the

sacrifice of the cross

by which “Christ our

Pasch is sacrificed” is

celebrated on the

altar, the work of our

redemption is carried

out. Likewise, in the sacrament of the

Eucharistic bread, the unity of believers,

who form one body in Christ, is both

expressed and brought about. All men

are called to this union with Christ, who is

the light of the world, from whom we go

forth, through whom we live, and towards

whom our whole life is directed.” (Lumen

Gentium 3)

How is the sacrament of the Eucharistic

bread lived out in my life during the

week?

Prayer

O God, who left us the Eucharist as the

memorial of your Passion, grant that we

may always experience in our lives the

fruits of your redemption. We ask this

through our Lord Jesus Christ, who lives

and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy

Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.
