(…) Pope Francis gave this gesture a special meaning: Since the beginning of his pontificate, he has insisted on the peripheries, on reality seen from the geographic and human peripheries of the world (…) It is a prophetic call to recognize the face of Jesus where we would never go to look for it. And it’s also an invitation to serve Jesus there, wherever the most-pressing and es- sential needs of man arise, knowing full well that, along with bread and even more than bread, man needs Jesus, and that the first poverty is the absence of God, from which derive all other forms of poverty. [This Year of Mercy] I desire that the Church and all of us follow Jesus with increasing fidelity, so that we no longer remain prisoners of our fragility and misery, and in this way, we will be able to better serve our brothers and sisters, both inside and outside the Church: because the entire world needs Christ, needs to be relieved and renewed by his love. And because mercy is a grace that comes from on high and changes our lives: It takes us as we are but doesn’t leave us as we are. Thank God!

Mercy isn’t just free-market loving each other. When God bursts into the life of man, in the measure of his acceptance, it tends to change also the way he looks at things, his attitude, the criteria of his actions and thus, by grace, also his behavior (…) How can a father be merciful and correct his children? In reality, if a father doesn’t correct his children, but justifies or minimizes their mistakes, he wouldn’t love them and would drive them to disaster. In the end, a father who doesn’t help his children to recognize their mistakes doesn’t really esteem them and doesn’t have trust in their ability to change. Because mercy brings inscribed in itself, indelibly and inseparably, love and truth. It belongs to the Christian Tradition, from the Scriptures through the Magisterium of recent popes, that love and truth go together or together they fall: It isn’t love without truth, and it’s not authen-tic truth without love (…) To open the “holy door” means to open wide to man the path that leads to Jesus and to invite everyone to grow closer to him without fear (…) There is no salvation for man without Jesus: It is he who mysteriously moves the heart of every man to the good and to the true, because he is the truth and the good in person!

Thank you to all school and parish families who attended our Annual Ga-la! It was a lot of fun and a financial success! We will update you in a few weeks with final totals of the money raised. We are looking forward to the Thanksgiving holidays as a time of rest and family, and a time to contem-plate the many blessings God has given to us! We are grateful for the sup-port of all of our parishioners! Have a blessed Thanksgiving!
The Path to the New Evangelization “Our attitude toward the sanctity of life in these closing years of the "American century" will say volumes about our true character as a nation. It will also shape the discourse about the sanctity of human life in the next century, because what happens here, in our nation, will have global consequences. It is primarily U.S. technology, U.S. microchips, U.S. fiber-optics, U.S. satellites, U.S. habits of thought and entertainment, which are building the neural network of the new glob-al mentality. What America has indelibly imprinted on the emerging global culture is its spirit. And the ambiguity of that spirit is why the Pope appealed so passion-ately to the American people in 1995. "It is vital for the human family," he said, "that in continuing to seek advancement in many different fields -- science, busi-ness, education and art, and wherever else your creativity leads you -- America keeps compassion, generosity and concern for others at the very heart of its ef-forts." That will be no easy task. “

Every year, a number of our parish-ioner families adopt struggling north Aurora families at Christmas. If you would like to participate, we can match you with a family to adopt. We ask that your assistance include one or two gifts for each family member and at least one week’s gro-ceries. You may either arrange the gift directly with the family or we will serve as intermediaries.
To Adopt a Family at Christmas,
