4 NEWMAN MEETINGS: We will continue to have our Friday 6:30 P.M. meetings of e Newman Club at St. Michael rough e Summer. Come and join us! The Be Things to Say to Someone in Grief 1. I am so sorry for your loss. NOON MASS: This is our special Mass for College udents. 2. I wish I had e right words; ju know I care. 3. I don't know how you feel, but I am here if I can help in anyway. 4. You and your loved one will be in my oughts and prayers. A MIDSUMMER NIGHT S MARE Each summer we always run low in our checking account. People are away on holidays, some donors have moved away, new visitors haven t yet committed. The grant from e Archdiocese for e Newman Miniry always comes in e Fall...so for several mons we have to pay e cos for at miniry out of parish funds. If any of you would be able to help us out...between e gas and electric bill as Moer Angelica used to say... Faer Mayo, e Staff and e Finance Council would be grateful. Thank you! SOMEONE IN GRIEF 5. My favorite memory of your loved one is I am always ju a phone call away. 7. Give a hug inead of saying someing. 8. We all need help at times like is. I am here for you 9. I am usually up early or late if you need anying. 10. Say noing; ju be wi e person Many of us have said "e be" and "e wor." We meant no harm. In fact, we were trying to comfort. A grieving person may say one of "e wor" about emselves, and it's okay. It may even make sense for a member of e clergy to say, "He is in a better place," when someone comes to em for guidance, whereas an acquaintance saying it may not help. By David Kessler The Wor Things to Say to Someone in Grief 1. At lea she lived a long life; many people die young. 2. He is in a better place. 3. She brought is on herself. 4. There is a reason for everying. 5. Aren't you over him yet? He has been dead for a while now. 6. You can have anoer child ill. 7. She was such a good person God wanted her to be wi him. 8. I know how you feel. 9. She did what she came here to d & it was her time to go. 10. Be rong. SOME HUMOR I was in e six item express lane at e ore quietly fuming. Completely ignoring e sign, e woman ahead of me had slipped into e check-out line pushing a cart piled high wi groceries. Imagine my delight when e cashier beckoned e woman to come forward looked into e cart and asked

5 sweetly, 'So which six items would you like to buy?' Wouldn't it be great if at happened more often? calls e man and says, "I spoke to her on e phone for ree hours. You want my advice?' The man said yes, and e Rabbi replied, 'Take e poison' Because ey had no reservations at a busy reaurant, my elderly neighbor and his wife were told ere would be a 45- minute wait for a table. 'Young man, we're bo 90 years old, ' e husband said..'we may not have 45 minutes.' They were seated immediately. EARN MONEY FOR CAMPUS MINISTRY wi escrip! All eyes were on e radiant bride as her faer escorted her down e aisle. They reached e altar and e waiting groom; e bride kissed her faer and placed someing in his hand. The gues in e front pews responded wi ripples of laughter. Even e prie smiled broadly. As her faer gave her away in marriage, e bride gave him back his credit card. Women and cats will do as ey please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to e idea. Three friends from e local congregation were asked, 'When you're in your casket, and friends and congregation members are mourning over you, what would you like em to say?' Artie said: ' I would like em to say I was a wonderful husband, a fine spiritual leader, and a great family man.' Eugene commented: 'I would like em to say I was a wonderful teacher and servant of God who made a huge difference in people's lives.' Al said: 'I'd like em to say, 'Look, he's moving!'

Sinai to get close enough to talk to God. Looking up, he asks e Lord, 'God, what does a million years mean to you?' The Lord replies, 'A minute.' Smi asks, 'And what does a million dollars mean to you?' The Lord replies, 'A penny.' Smi asks, 'Can I have a penny?' The Lord replies, 'In a minute.' John was on his deabed and gasped pitifully. 'Give me one la reque, dear,' he said. 'Of course, John,' his wife said softly. 'Six mons after I die,' he said, 'I want you to marry Bob.' 'But I ought you hated Bob,' she said. Wi his la brea John said, 'I do!' A man goes to see e Rabbi. 'Rabbi, someing terrible is happening and I have to talk to you about it.' The Rabbi asked, 'What's wrong?' The man replied, 'My wife is poisoning me.' The Rabbi, very surprised by is, asks, 'How can at be?' The man en pleads, 'I'm telling you, I'm certain she's poisoning me, what should I do?' The Rabbi en offers, 'Tell you what. Let me talk to her, I'll see what I can find out and I'll let you know.' A week later e Rabbi
