As a community of believers we are responsible for our brothers and sisters, their salvation, their journey of faith, their physical well-being. Many of the documents of Vatican II and volumes of work since the mid-1960s give us advice, guidelines, and encouragement to take care of one another: the poor, the elderly, the unborn, the broken, the infirm. Because Vatican II is part of our recent history indeed many of us were already born this may strike us as a new and revolutionary idea. But today s readings show us the agelessness of the issue of social justice. Eight hundred years before Christ was born, Amos warned the wealthy not to cheat the poor. In Paul s first letter to Timothy, he encourages all prayers to be for all people; and finally, the Gospel urges the wise use of money. SICK OR IN HOSPITAL? When a parishioner enters the hospital or is ill, please call the Parish Office at 410-866-4020. Because of the privacy laws the hospitals do not call us with this information. Do you know a Homebound person who would like to receive Holy Communion? If you know of a parishioner who is unable to get to Mass and would like to have communion brought to them, please contact the Parish Office at 410-866- 4020. THE RESOURCE EXCHANGE PROGRAM AT ST. VINCENT DE PAUL CHURCH The Resource Exchange is a program of the Social Action Committee at St. Vincent de Paul Church. We place homeless persons in apartments in cooperation with Health Care for the Homeless. We are always looking for gently used small furniture pieces and household items. The complete list is on our website at stvchurch.org. For more information contact Pat Frascati at 410-663-5542 or 410-917-2214 or frascati00@comcast.net. TALK WITH YOUR LOVED ONES ON END-OF-LIFE ISSUES Illness and death whether our own or that of a loved one are issues many of us avoid thinking and talking about until they are immediately confronting us. Too often we are unprepared for the questions that arise, and find ourselves making difficult decisions in the midst of a crisis, without the benefit of time and reflection. Maryland s bishops have released a pastoral letter, Comfort and Consolation, on care for the sick and dying to encourage Catholics to take that time now, before facing a crisis, so that when illness and death inevitably come, we can face them with the comfort and peace of understanding our faith, and knowing our Lord is there to embrace us in our hour of need. Visit the Maryland Catholic Conference at www.mdcathcon.org/comfort for downloading copies or to order.
