Meijer Simply Give Program Starts Up Again
This campaign is a wonderful way to help our food pantry stock up on necessary items to help those in need. All you have to do is take a card from the back of Church, and take the card to the Meijer on 13 Mile Road (between John R and Dequindre) hand the card and $10.00 to the cashier. Easier yet, place your $10.00 donation in an envelope marked “Simply Give” and put it in the c o l l e c t i o n b a s ke t a nd S t . Vincent de Paul will take care of it for you. Thank you again for your continued support so that we may continue to help others that are less fortunate.

Right to Life-LIFESPAN
The Vulnerable
“How can we genuinely teach the
importance of concern for other
vulnerable beings, however
troublesome or inconvenient they
may be, if we fail to protect a
human embryo, even when its
presence is uncomfortable and
creates difficulties?

3rd Sunday of Advent
"I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his sandals." So said John the
Baptist in reference to Jesus. Tax collectors, soldiers, and countless other
people gathered to hear John preach. There was an excitement in the air
as they were all "filled with expectation." For generations upon
generations they had been waiting for the coming of the promised
Messiah--the Christ. And now, John the Baptist had appeared with such a
striking message and such a powerful presence that "all were asking in
their hearts whether John might be the Christ."
But he wasn't. John's mission was to prepare the way for Jesus Christ. In
the process, however, people began to think that John was the main
attraction. He set the record straight though, when he emphasized that
"one mightier than I is coming." And then he made the remark about not
being worthy to do even the most humble act of service--loosening sandal
straps--for the Lord.
Imagine what the people must have been thinking. They all found John to
be such a remarkable man, and yet he declared that he wasn't worthy? If
this great prophet was so humble, how much more should they humble
themselves in preparation for the coming of the Messiah? And shouldn't
we do the same?
As we mediate upon the coming of Christ this Advent season, we would
do well to make our approach towards Christmas with humble hearts.
What have we done to deserve this incredible gift of a Savior? Are we
worthy of his incarnation and his saving death? The fact is that nothing
we could ever do would possibly earn our redemption. May we be
humble enough to acknowledge that our salvation is the greatest gift we
could ever receive.
