Everyday Evangelization for Busy PeopleTuesday, November 7 6:30pm refreshments 7:00pm presentationSerra Center

Because our faith in God and our love for our church is soimportant to us, we are always eager to share what we havediscovered with others. But our busy lives often get in the way:we have good intentions but little time. Come spend a precioushour with Fr. Jim Clarke for some new and insightful ideas abouthow evangelization (“sharing our faith”) can become part of oureveryday way of life at home, work, school, and everywhere we go.

Fr. Jim Clarke taught spiritual theology and formation at St. John’s Seminary for many years. Hecurrently serves as Chair of the Spirituality Commission of the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, and isnoted for his many CD/DVD series and writings on the topics of spirituality and evangelization.

Everyone welcome, RSVP: [email protected]

Quiet Hero

Our Gospel this week challenges us with a countercultural idea – “The greatest among you must be yourservant. Whoever exalts himself will be humbled; but whoever humbles himself with be exalted.” In ourworld today where there is so much emphasis placed on titles and accolades, how do we humble ourselvesand serve those around us?

We can always look to the saints. One favorite is St. Therese of Lisieux, “The Little Flower.” St. Theresewrote, “What matters in life is not great deeds, but great love.” She lived a life of attention to others. Shebelieved in living as one flower among all the other flowers in God’s garden.

From time to time we encounter people who, like our saints, inspire us. Over the past sevenyears, I’ve been blessed to work alongside someone who embodies this spirit of love,service, and humility in everything she does. While it is a daunting task to encapsulate whoshe is in a few short paragraphs, I am excited to celebrate quiet hero – Mrs. Liz Loll –retired St. Mary Magdalen School Vice Principal and Padre Serra parishioner and activevolunteer.

The first time I met Liz, I remember being struck by how genuinely warm and friendly she was. In ourconversation as we walked across the school campus, I could immediately tell that she was someone wholoved what she did and shared that love with all those around her.

Liz had an amazing ability to seemingly be everywhere at once and always be in exactly the right place atexactly the right time to lend a hand. Whether it was a student who needed a little TLC or a parent whoneeded some sage advice or even a principal who needed a listening ear, Liz was always there with acheerful attitude and a kind word. Never looking for recognition or praise. At school Liz was a visible andtangible sign of God’s love; the love that he has for each one of us.

One of her favorite roles was sharing her Catholic faith with our students. Whether teaching in theclassroom, helping eighth graders with service at Many Meals, or preparing students to lead the communityduring weekly Mass, Liz was and is a beacon of faith to everyone around her.

Even though she retired from her daily responsibilities at the school last June, she is still very muchinvolved at our school, parish and in our greater Camarillo community. Liz embodies the words of MotherTeresa who said, “Do small things with great love.” Liz serves those around herwith great love, in her own beautiful and humble way.

Please join me in thanking and celebrating our friend and hero, Liz Loll!

Siempre adelante,
