SAINTLY FOOD FOR THOUGHT
St. Andrew the Apostle, Feast Day Nov. 30
“Love is acceptance. When you love someone…you take them into your heart, and that is surely why it hurts so much when we lose someone we love, because we lose a part of ourselves.” As we conclude this month in which we honor the deceased, I found this quote to be particularly meaningful. Of all the virtues, the Bible tells us that it is love which is the most powerful (1 Cor 13:1). You may not truly feel the power of love, until you lose someone who you loved dearly or someone who loved you dearly. Often times, we take for granted our loved ones being present to us. Sometimes the love shown to us isn’t the warm, fluffy kind, and we may not immediately recognize it as being love at all. However, nothing is guaranteed in this life. One day we may have a loved one at our side, and the next we may lose them to an accident or illness. Therefore, we must always try to act with love, for we are not guaranteed the next moment to do so.

There will be an Advent Morning of Reflection on Saturday, Dec. 2 from 9:00-11:00 a.m. in the OLL Community Room. Title: A Fresh Perspective on the Season of Advent. DESCRIPTION: The Sunday readings for the season of Advent invite us to reflect upon the upcoming birth of Jesus as well as prepare us for the future return of Christ. As the first season of the Church Year, it is a season of hope! How can we manifest this hope into a spirit of stewardship that is so central to how we live-out our Catholic identity? We will explore an answer to this question using the Sunday Advent Scripture readings.
Dr. Daniel Scholz will be our presenter, and he will base his talk on the Advent Scripture readings. Dan is a Scripture Scholar and has taught Scripture at Pius XII High School, St. Francis Seminary and Cardinal Stritch University. He is a frequent presenter at parishes throughout the Archdiocese of Milwaukee. Dr. Scholz is an engaging speaker with a good sense of humor. ALL FAITH DENOMINATIONS ARE WELCOME TO ATTEND. There is no charge, but a free will offering will be accepted to help provide more opportunities like this in the future. Registration is appreciated, but not required. Contact Deb Hamm with questions.

DSCS students and staff will return from Thanksgiving break on Monday. It is hard to believe that this week we will be saying goodbye to November and hello to December! December is always a busy month at DSCS; however, we will be sure to make time to slow down and reflect on the liturgical season of Advent. It is our goal each year to place the focus on the true meaning of Christmas and to remind our students that giving is more important than receiving. Yours in Faith, Lynn Sauer The DSCS Education Committee has decided to run a fundraiser to help fund the field trips for our school. This will run from now until DECEMBER 4 which will guarantee delivery before Christmas!

Ez. 34:11-12,15-17; 1 Cor. 15:20-26,28; Matt. 25:31-46
Today we hear about the Son of Man coming in his glory, when Christ will welcome all those who have been blessed by the Father. Those who have cared for the needs of others will be welcomed into the Kingdom and those who have ignored the needs of others will not. Some years ago, I attended a conference on the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius. Most people have heard of St. Ignatius, the founder of the Society of Jesus (the Jesuits), but I suspect most people aren’t that familiar with the Spiritual Exercises. I would like to suggest a very practical part of the Exercises that can be helpful as we begin to prepare in earnest for the coming of Christ at Christmas. It is called the daily examen. Take a few moments to quiet yourself and recognize that you are in the presence of God. Next, think about your day as you ponder these three questions: Where did I experience God today (in what people, events, things, etc.)? Where did I get in the way of God’s love, mercy and compassion (was I short with others, lazy, unwilling to compromise or forgive, etc.)? How can I change and be a better presence of Christ in the future? St. Ignatius suggests that this happen at night before we go to bed, but it can also be done in the morning, reflecting on the prior day and the day to come. It only takes a few minutes. I have been praying the examen for many years. There have been stretches in my life when things get crazy and I fall out of the habit. There is a definite difference in how I treat others when I fall away from this daily practice. When I actively reflect on my day, on where I saw Christ, on how I treated others and how I can do better next time, I am much more open to Christ in my life. When I don’t reflect on Christ’s presence, I tend to fall prey to my human failings and ultimately end up hurting others…sometimes those closest to me. Perhaps this can be a new Advent practice. If we can get into the habit of praying a daily examen during which we reflect on the ways we participate in Christ’s ministry, we too will be welcomed into heaven for the many ways we cared for God’s people.
