Dear friends,
Our long time parishioner and friend Bob Kocarnik is in Meridian Park Hospital
with pneumonia. Bob has been an active member of our parish and at 93 he has
still been visiting Markham House faithfully every fourth Wednesday.
Let's all pray for him and for his family.
This Wednesday, December 19th, will be the St. Clare Community Reconciliation
Service in the church at 7 p.m. (If you cannot make it to this service, Reconciliation
will still be available after morning mass on Thursday and Friday and at the usual
4:30 time on Saturday).
On a dark, rainy, but joyful (Gaudate) Sunday, this prayer from some sixteen
centuries ago still speaks to us. From St. Augustine of Hippo: Look on us, Jesus,
and let all the darkness of our souls disappear before the beams of your brightness.
Fill us with your holy love, and open to us the treasures of your wisdom.
You know all our desires, so bring to perfection what you have started and what the
Holy Spirit has awakened us to ask in prayer. Amen.
Blessings on your last week before Christmas.
Sheila
