Behold, I am with you always, until the end of the age..(matt. 28:20) Under the guidance of Our Blessed Mother, Do whatever he tells you. (John 2:5) Think about praying for an unborn baby and their families. Every day 4000 babies are killed by abortion. They have so little protection only the hand of God can end this. Prayer is the best weapon to help them the most effective. Say this prayer for nine months to save a baby s life. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much, I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion..being PROLIFE is: believing that a baby's life is a gift that should be cherished. believing that a mother is a precious human life with value and dignity. believing that all human life belongs only to the Creator who gave us life. believing that all life is God's to give and take.

St. Vincent de Paul never wrote a book about his spiritual teachings. But we find the living voice of the saint in his letters and conferences in which he trained his followers for the mission of service to the poor. The two fundamental sources of his teaching are the GOSPEL and LIFE. He wanted his followers to put the whole of the Gospel into the whole of their lives, and he never wearied of deepening both with all the faith that God had put into his heart. That is why all that Vincent says to us has the simplicity of our everyday life and the penetrating strength of the Word of God. What is the Vincentian call about? It s about three basic questions: Do we see the face of Christ in everyone we serve? Were we the good news of Jesus Christ to each person served?.. Most importantly, did every person that we served see Jesus in each of us? This is what our Vincentian call is all about. It is what the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is all about. It is what Vincentian spirituality is all about. (Eugene Smith, National President) Our SVdP Help Line 401 364 9413 Giving thanks always and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ to God the Father. (Eph 5:20) How often do we say thank you to our Lord for all he does for us? Do we show gratitude for all we have? Do we realize all we have is God s gift to us? St. Paul will challenge us in the second reading; In all things give thanks to God for all he has done for us. Jesus also reminds us that God the Father was there to help the Israelites in the journey through the desert. He fed them and gave them water when they were hungry and thirsty. What angered God the most was when people would not thank him when he helped them in their need. Jesus too will wonder when nine lepers who had been cured did not come back to say to Jesus thank you and showed to God their gratitude. Today at this Mass and at every Mass we attend say thank you for all that has been done for us. We can in prayer each day show thanks and gratitude for the very gift of our life.
