Sunday Morning Smile : )

MY EIGHT-YEAR-OLD GRANDSON, Eric, was talking to one ofhis classmates about her recent trip to Disney World. He mentioned that he would be going soon, and he said that it was unfortunate that his grandmother wouldn’t be able to come along, since she had passed away the previous July Trying to comfort him, Eric’s classmate said, “Don’t worry, she’ll be with you in spirit.”

After a short pause, he replied,“Will she have to pay to get in?”

GAUDETE ET EXSULTATE:“Rejoice and be glad” (Mt 5:12), Jesus tells those persecuted or humiliated for his sake. The Lord asks everything of us, and in return he offers us true life, the happiness for which we were created. He wants us to be saints and not to settle for a bland and mediocre existence. (§1) This third exhortation Gaudete et Exsultate by Pope Francis shows us - How to understand and embrace the call to holiness. How to spot the contemporary enemies of holiness. How to understand Christ’s call to holiness in the Beatitudes. How to be signs of holiness in our everyday lives. How to draw strength for the battle for holiness. For the OLV Faithful who wish to order a copy, please call the of�ce or write your name down on the paper at the back of the church and we will make the order. CHILDREN’S BOOKS:Sundance Smith a few months back offered books for Sale – from his brother. They were written for children. The books were $15.00 each. Unfortunately they were sold, not paid for. If you have forgotten to pay, please drop the donation of $15.00 in an envelope and place marked Children’s Books.

“I am the vine, you are the branches.”
