EVENTS/ACTIVITIES AT ST. JOHN’S
SPECIAL COLLECTION for November 20th is for the Catholic Campaign for Human Development (CCHD—Thanksgiving). The CCHD provides funding for groups that make lasting change and uplift the poor in the US.
We need someone to shovel and/or blow snow, and put down “salt” (calcium chlo-ride) whenever there is a snow or ice storm. We will pay for your time. The per-son needs to be reliable and come before Mass (5pm on Saturday, 8am on Sunday and 9am on weekdays) to clean all the
walkways leading to the church and rectory. Call the rec-tory if you can help at 679-7696.

GOD’S HEALING JUSTICE
An old expression holds that the sun-warmed stone heals. Perhaps. But Malachi explains that only dark, sunless days are in store for those who do not find a place for God in their lives. Conversely, he tells us that the warmth and light of God’s healing justice await those who fear the Lord. That’s a pretty comforting notion—especially now in the already short and growing even shorter days of November. It’s the sun-warmed stone, and then some. Paul speaks to us of justice as well, but points out that it is not a passive thing. To be treated justly, we need to do our fair share. If we are diligent and persevere we will be rewarded with and by the fruits of our labor. Lastly, Luke, too, tells us to persevere—in faith, this time—and our lives will be secure in God regardless of how we are treated by our enemies. ~Father George
