Worldwide, over one million children are in refugee camps

today. With your help, we can make a difference.

Through the few simple steps of a new program created by

Catholic Relief Services, we will be able to bring the plight

of refugee children to the attention of people in position to

enact genuine change.

Join us for an orientation / training session on Tuesday,

December 3rd in St. Patrick Hall (the Auditorium) from 6:30

to 9:00 p.m.

results.

ALL THIS WEEKEND!

Throughout November, St. Mel Parish, School, Preschool

and Religious Formation classes have been collecting

bags of nonperishable food to be donated to the Guada-

lupe Center in Canoga Park. And this weekend we’ve

parked a rental truck in front of the church. Our Knights of

Columbus, Society of St. Vincent dePaul and other volun-

teers are helping us fill that truck to the top! On Monday,

the 25th, we will drive the truck to Guadalupe Center

where the food will be distributed to the many families in

need who are served by the Center daily.

During this season, when we all have so much to be

thankful for, we pray that you will join us in this effort to

share our gifts and help spread God’s love and generosity

among our neighbors. There’s still time to bring your dona-

tion.

Please be generous in this week’s

special collection for the Catholic

Campaign for Human Develop-

ment. In the United States, one in

six people live in poverty. Through

this collection you support pro-

grams that address the causes of

poverty and provide a sustainable

future for people across the country

who struggle. In addition 25% of the

funds we collect will remain in our

diocese to fund local antipoverty

projects. Please prayerfully consid-

er how you can support this collection and work on the margins. More infor-

mation about CCHD can be found at www.usccb.org/cchd/collection.

As you leave Mass today, please pick up a Little

tionship with Christ during the Advent and

Christmas Seasons.

CONTEMPLATIVE PRAYER

The Last Monday Evening of Each Month

Monday, November 25

7:00 p.m. - 8:00 p.m.

St. Mel Convent Chapel

For most of us, our lives have become increasingly busy and

oftentimes, overwhelming. Striking a balance feels illu-

sive. Contemplative prayer, the oldest expression of prayer,

is a path towards the order, balance and harmony God in-

tended. All we need to do is show up empty handed and

open hearted. If this is a practice you would like to attend, we

would love you to join us for two 20 minute periods of silent

prayer in the intimate St. Mel Convent Chapel. At the end of

the hour, we will close with "Our Father" and you will re-

ceive reflection questions for your own personal "at home"

meditation.

For further information, please call Michelle Waters at

(310) 489-0253.

"Come unto Me, all you who labor and I will give you rest"

At every Mass we pray to God together, “thy Kingdom come, thy will be done.” And we

long for the peace and the security of that Kingdom of God. But once again the violence

and tragedy of our world has played out before our eyes. This time coming so close to home: a shooting at

Saugus High School has brought death and injury to innocent children while attending their school, a place

where everyone needs to be safe and secure. Their innocence has been betrayed. Once again we grieve, we

worry, we cry out to God, “How could you let this happen? Aren’t you in control of everything?”

With this burden on our hearts, we come to the end of

the liturgical year today and look for our King, Jesus the

King of Kings to bring us peace. We look for the all-

powerful one who is in control of everything. But the

Gospel of the day presents us with a different and dis-

turbing vision – Jesus is on his cross – just as we see

him in any Catholic church – the crucified one who is

the King of the Universe experiencing pain, rejection,

and betrayal.

People were jeering him, some taking his name in vain,

as so many do to this day. Pilate had ordered an in-

scription to be put on the cross declaring Jesus’ crime:

This is the King of the Jews. Everyone was making

sport of him as he suffered; it is a terrible and shameful

scene. Yet it was God’s way of redeeming us all from

death. He made peace by the blood of his cross.

God’s ways are not our ways.

In a wonderful moment of compassion, Jesus, on the

cross, taking on the burden and sin of the whole world,

and suffering untold pain, has the presence of mind and

tenderness of heart needed to turn to the “good thief” in his prayer for mercy.

You and I can utter that simple prayer, “Jesus, remember me when you come into your kingdom.” And he will

promise us paradise too. We simply turn to him with our own sin and burdens and find that he is indeed King

of the Universe. “Today you will be with me in Paradise,” he says to the thief. “Today your sins are forgiven,”

he says to us.

Jesus of Nazareth came into the world and ultimately became a victim of its violence and cruelty himself. He

died. He is risen. He will come again. We too have already died

in baptism, entered into the Kingdom of God and become citizens

of Heaven. We are now his forgiving and healing heart present in

the world. “He has no hands now but ours, no feet but ours,” as

Teresa of Avila would say. Today, we can bring the Kingdom of

mercy and peace to one another.

Building your active listen-

ing skills with the children in

your life can help you com-

municate more effectively

with them, and it can also

clue you in to any suspi-

cious or potentially danger-

ous relationships in their lives. Active listening lets the

speaker know that you have heard, understood, and val-

ued what he or she said. Often, children don’t feel this

way, but with a few easy tactics, you can change that,

building a relationship of trust and respect. As an active

listener, be sure to make eye contact while the child is

speaking. Ask follow-up questions and check in to make

sure you both understand what’s being said. Avoid “yes or

no” questions and instead ask open-ended questions that

will keep the conversation going.
