Blessed are those who live such lives that they can look forward to the encounter. Even if we haven t lived the best of lives as God wants, it is still not late to effect a turn around. All is well that ends well. And let the end be well. Pray: Recite the prayer for a graceful and peaceful death. From: Fr.

3 FAZtor s Notes by Fr. Arnold Zamora It is the weekend before Thanksgiving Day and my heart s already filled with gratefulness. First, I would like to thank all those who have turned in their Stewardship Commitment card, I did mine last week too. If you haven t filled out or submitted a Commitment Card, it s never too late, we would love to hear from you. Earlier this month, I, together with few parishioners, graduated from the NERT or Neighborhood Emergency Rescue Team Training. I am now a certified NERT volunteer. Thanks to the SFFD for the opportunity. Extending my gratitude too to our Holy Name Emergency Team, led by Dick and Madeline Morten and Ramsey Ramos, for their assistance especially in the use of the Flanagan Center. Thank God, after a long wait and extensive repairs, our rectory living room is back together now. For some time, we have had holes in the ceilings, holes in the walls and even in the floor. We have opened up the ceiling, opened up some walls and ripped out the carpet to solve a heating system leak. Of course, we had to remove all the furniture and appliances. Putting them back and figuring the new interior design was made easy with the help of the Quock Family Justin, Julie, Ryan and Natalie. Thanks to this family, everything was put back together after the 9:30 AM Sunday mass last weekend. From time to time, our house has wear and tear. Just as in our spiritual life, we undergo a kind of decline due to sin. Thanks to God s forgiveness through the Sacrament of Reconciliation or Confession we can put our spiritual life back together. That gift of forgiveness is what some of our HN students will receive this weekend as they have their First Reconciliation. Just to remind you that this Sacrament is made available not only before our weekend masses, but anytime you wish to receive it. Just call the office or approach any priest. Somebody once said: There's always something to be thankful for. If you can't pay your bills, you can be thankful you're not one of your creditors. And here s coming from an unknown author: I want to say thank you to all the people who walked into my life and made it outstanding, and all the people who walked out of my life and made it fantastic. A rich man looked through his window and saw a poor man picking something from his dustbin... He said, Thank GOD I'm not poor. The poor man looked around and saw a naked man misbehaving on the street... He said, Thank GOD I'm not mad. The mad man looked ahead and saw an ambulance carrying a patient... He said, Thank GOD am not sick. Then a sick person in hospital saw a trolley taking a dead body to the mortuary... He said, Thank GOD I'm not dead. Only a dead person cannot thank God. Why don't you thank GOD today for all your blessings and for the gift of life... for another beautiful day. Happy Thanksgiving Day! from the Priests & Staff of Holy Name of Jesus Parish page 3 STEWARDSHIP CORNER Make Everyday Thanksgiving. At first glance, our Thanksgiving gatherings may seem to be about being together and enjoying a meal with each other. We may view Thanksgiving as the start of the holiday season, and many will begin their Christmas shopping just a few hours after the Thanksgiving meal, on what has come to be known as black Friday. Look a little deeper, however, and Thanksgiving is about so much more. It is a time to pause and reflect upon all we have for which to be grateful. We see how abundantly blessed we are, even in challenging circumstances, and the meal becomes a true celebration of the gifts of life, relationships, and faith that fill our lives, minds, and hearts with grace and goodness. It is a feast of gratitude. On the surface, the Mass is a ritual comprised of a series of songs, prayers, and gestures. We stand, sing, make the sign of the cross, sit, listen, kneel, and pray. Reflect more deeply, however, and we grasp the greater meaning and impact of the Eucharist. Christ is truly present with and among us; we are fed by word and sacrament, and are drawn into union with Christ and one another. It is about joining together with grateful hearts and resolving to share Christ s life, love, and mercy with others. The very meaning of the word eucharist is thanksgiving. It is a feast of gratitude. Gather around the table, at home and at the celebration of the Eucharist. Give thanks. Grow in gratitude. Let your life be changed. Share with others, especially those who are in need. Make every day Thanksgiving. GROW AS STEWARDS! It was not you who chose me; it was I who chose you, So go forth and bear fruit. John 15:16 PRAY Dear God, thank you for the unique gift that is my life. Open my heart to the ways you are calling me to give, large and small and show me where you are offering to help me grow in and share your love, mercy and gifts. DISCERN What would giving all you have look like? If time and money were no issue, what would you do for God? ACT Do three acts of gratitude for Thanksgiving: Participate in a food drive Help with Thanksgiving dinner Write letters of appreciation Blessings on your Stewardship Journey!

4 FAITH FORMATION CATECHESIS PASTORAL OUTREACH Director: Sr. Cristina Ovejera, FdCC (415) REFLECTION: November The earth is settling into silence. Whether you are near the ocean, the desert, or the mountain, earth is giving us signals of sleep in the Northern Hemisphere. We can take these signs to heart and allow our own bodies to slow into quiet. It is the season of reflection on a good harvest, a time to put closure on the work of the fields and fold our hands in gratitude. The Church enters the last week of the Liturgical Year. We hear the warnings of the end time. November brings us a feast of Paradise (All Saints and all Souls), and ends with a flourish as we proclaim Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. -Jeanne Hunt, Celebrating Saints and Seasons Advent Giving Trees It is that time of the year again! On the week of Thanksgiving Day, our Church Environment Committee will put up the traditional Advent trees at the back of the church. We will fill them with gift tags, each with a wish from the clients of our city s Pomeroy Center. Once again, we ask parishioners to participate in this Advent practice of sharing your treasures with those in need. Thank you in advance for always supporting this outreach program of Holy Name of Jesus. Pastoral Ministries Exhibits The various ministries and programs in our parish are on display at the back of the church this weekend. Please take advantage to go through them.
