God Bless you for your continued generosity!
Going away this winter? If you’re away for an extended
period of time, please let us know so the next shipment of
envelopes is suspended as we’re charged for each set
returned. If you have another address where you
would like them sent, during that time, let us know.
Y ou will even be handed over by parents, brothers,
relatives, and friends, and they will put some of
you to death. You will be hated by all because of
my name." This is not a pleasant prophecy. On
the contrary, Jesus' somber words may strike us with a bit of
fear and make us wonder if we will ever actually face such a
tragic scenario. We are fortunate to live in a country where religious freedom is tolerated, and
of course we hope that this continues to be the case. But the sad fact is that right now, there are
Christians in other parts of the world who are living out the reality of these prophetic words.
For these men, women, and children of faith, the name of Jesus truly is a cause of persecution
and martyrdom.
Let us imagine for a moment that the tables were turned. Suppose we were the ones
suffering from the violent advances of anti-Christian forces. Suppose we were the ones losing our
homes, fleeing for our lives, tending to our wounded loved ones, or worse. Where would we look
for help? To other Christians, most likely, to those who would sympathize with our commitments
but who still had the resources to assist us.
We ARE those other Christians. We are the ones who share a common faith with these
suffering brothers and sisters on the other side of the globe. We are the ones with the resources to
help them, even if it is just in a small way. Our prayers for their protection and peace cannot be
underestimated, but neither can we dismiss the significance of contributing in any way possible to
those organizations that are working on the front lines to assist the suffering Church throughout
the world. May we all do what we can to bring relief to those who need it most.

Relating to the Gospel: Today’s Gospel talks about the end of time. We’ve all wondered what it
will be like, and whether we’ll be around to experience it. This novel explores what it might be
like if it happened today:

Thanksgiving Prayer
This Thanksgiving let those of us who have much and those who have little gather at the welcoming table of
the Lord. At this blessed feast, may rich and poor alike remember that we are called to serve on another and to walk together in God's gracious world. With thankful hearts we praise our God who like a loving
parent denies us no good thing. Amen
