Announcement

Some people go to mission by going while others go to mission by giving. In view of this, there will be a second collection on the 17th and 18th of December in support of the Vocationist missionary work. We appeal to our parishioners to assist in the training of Priests, as no amount is too small. Thank you for your generousity. God bless you abundantly.

Reflection

O my God and my all, O my father, Son and Holy Spirit, only the time spent in direct communication with you is worthy to be lived! Only the hours of full activity, the hours of excellent bargains, the hours of full life! All the others are in the shadows of the unconscious; all the others are a waste of energies, a lowering in the level of life! They are that emptiness which I feel!

O my God and my all, grant that I may be able to transform all my hours of prayer. Grant that every creature, every happening may become for me an object for direct conversation with you.

BLESSED JUSTIN RUSSOLILLO,

FOUNDER VOCATIONIST FATHERS.
