STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT: "...Rather, we wanted to present ourselves as a model for you, so that you might imitate us." (2 Thessalonians 3:9) Most people who live a grateful and generous lifestyle don’t go around bragging about it. But through their actions and words, others do take notice. They notice because of the joy and peace that results and other people desire this in their own life. Know that the way you live your life may be the only in-teraction others have with our Catholic faith.

On the first weekend of each month, a Mass is celebrated for the repose of the souls of The Friends of Our La-dy of Sorrows Parish. Friends who are remembered are not nec-essarily parishioners of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish and member-ship to The Friends of Our Lady of Sorrows Parish is annual.

SMILES: At the pearly gates, a taxi driver and minister are waiting in line. St. Peter consults his list and says to the taxi driver, "Take this silken robe and golden staff and en-ter the Kingdom of Heaven." St. Peter next greets the min-ister saying, "Take this cotton robe and wooden staff and enter the Kingdom of Heaven." "Just a minute," says the minister. "That man was a taxi driver, and he gets a silken robe and golden staff while I get a cotton robe and wooden staff. How can this be?" "Up here, we work by results," says St. Peter. "While you preached, people slept; while he drove, people prayed."
At the pearly gates, St. Peter greeted a minister and con-gressman and gave them their room assignments. "Pastor, here are the keys to one of our nicest efficiency units. And for you, Mr. Congressman, the keys to our finest penthouse suite." "This is unfair!" cried the minister. "Listen," St. Pe-ter said, "ministers are a dime a dozen up here, but this is the first congressman we've ever seen."

A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE BY BUD OZAR: So many conflicting voices and influences make parenting difficult. In today’s gospel, Jesus encourages parents to bravely "give testimony" and trust He will give us the "wisdom" to be good parents. You are not alone in par-enting; a loving Father is standing with you.
VOCATIONS: "I myself shall give you wisdom in speaking." Is God calling you to speak the wisdom of the Gospel as a priest, deacon, sister or brother? If this is your calling, contact Father Christopher Luoni at 330-744-8451 or by email: [email protected].
BUY A BRACELET FOR CATHOLIC CHARITIES Catholic Charities’ bracelets and necklaces will once again be sold this holiday season! The nccklaces (on a black cord with a stone cross) and the bracelets—in vari-ous designs, sizes and colors - make great gifts for teachers, sitters, neighbors, and friends. The cost for products is $5.00 per item, three for $12.00 or five for $18.00. All proceeds will support Catholic Charities pro-grams and services. For more information or to order over the phone, contact Nikole Baringer at 330-744-8451, ext. 323.
WOMEN’S SPIRITUALITY SERIES: Discerning Your Spiritual Path: Join Sister Eileen Kernan on Thursday, December 5 from 6:30-8:00 PM for the final installment of this year’s women’s spirituality series. Sister Eileen will help you define spirituality, name your own way of being spiritual, and discover ways to enrich your spiritual path. Bring a journal or notebook and pen and meet at the Ursuline Sister of Youngstown Mother-house, 4250 Shields Road, Canfield, OH 44406. Park in the rectangular parking lot and enter through the main door at the circle. Call 330-799-4941 to register. Contact Sister Eileen for information:[email protected].

ADVENT PRAYER SERVICE: Saint Charles Borro-meo Church, 7545 Westview Drive, Boardman, OH 44512. Sunday, December 1st at 6:00 PM. Father Gerald DeLucia will preside and offer a time to reflect on Christ as the light to a troubled world as well as Exposition and Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament.
