St. Vincent DePaul
The good news of today’s Gospel is the extravagance
of what is being given us. All we need do is be faithful
in “small matters.” The cost of fidelity has no
comparison to the reward given.

When you give the furniture, household items and
clothing you no longer use to the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul, you are sharing God’s extravagant
love.

Thankfulness; yes, it is that time of year again, when
we remember to be thankful. We are thankful for
our family and friends, our health, our successes, our
happiness.
Ignatian Discernment of Spirits Series
Tuesday, November 18, 6:30-8:00pm
Fr. John Linden & Dawn Hausmann from the Diocesan
Vocations Team offering a series on Ignatian
Discernment of Spirits this Fall. Students are welcome
to join us at Emmaus House, the white house across
the street from St. John Student Center (320 M.A.C.
Ave). Email [email protected] for
more information.
But why is it that we only remember to be thankful
for these things in November, when it is close to
Thanksgiving? Sure, we give thanks to God before
we eat a meal, or after a great day, or we thank Him
when we felt His closeness, but what about all of the
other times? Isn’t our entire life one huge gift from
God? Our family and friends, our talents, our time;
all belongs to God.
I once heard a married couple speak at a retreat and
they taught us, “It’s not yours, so give it back”.
These wise words have stuck with me, because it is
so true that nothing in this life belongs to us; our
entire life is a gift from God. Thank Him for it
because God is so good! All the time! We can all
strive to be more thankful for everything God blesses
us with, and not only during November.

Just War Theory & Nonviolence
Wednesday, November 19
6:45pm Pizza
7:00pm Presentation
What is Just War Theory?
How does it differ from nonviolence?
When should a nation intervene in an
external
conflict?
How do we respond to violence in our personal lives?
God delights in us when we are grateful towards
Him! If you are ready for an even greater challenge of
thanksgiving, give thanks to God for the crosses you
carry. Thank Him for the burdens you bear. It may
sound crazy, but even our struggles are gifts from
God. This can be as simple as thanking God for
beautiful snowy days, even though at first glance you
hate the snow! It can be as difficult as to thank God
for an extremely hard time in your life, because you
know that through it you drew closer to Him. “A
thankful mind-set does not entail a denial of reality with
its plethora of problems, but instead it rejoices in God, in
the midst of trials and tribulations” (Jesus Calling).
In addition to tackling some case studies in
nonviolence, Dan Faas from the Alliance for Catholic
Education will be presenting for a portion of the time
on post-grad volunteering opportunities at the
University of Notre Dame and beyond.
All undergrads & grads/young professionals welcome,
ages 18-25.
Thankfulness is not always easy; but it is a language of
love. “And whatever you do, in word or deed, do
everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to
God the Father through Him” (Colossians 3:17).

CONFIRMATION
Last year our Confirmation
program was inspired by Matthew
Kelly's "Four Signs of a Dynamic
Catholic"....happily, this year
Matthew Kelly developed a
Confirmation preparation program
"Decision Point". While we cannot
use this program in its entirety, we are taking
advantage of some of the inspiring DVDs and
challenging exercises to engage the students.
November's Confirmation sessions are being held
this week (Saturday, November 15 and Tuesday,
November 18).
CALLED.
AT WHAT COST? At Youth Group this past
week we talked about "Counting the Cost". Being
a Christian isn't always easy. We do have to give
up certain things; we have to be counter-cultural.
But, of course, what we get in return is so much
more valuable than what we lose. The challenge
for all of us (leaders and teens) this past week has
been to read one chapter of a Gospel each day.
Why don't you try it yourself?
CHANGE FOR CHILDREN - Teens! Remember
to bring any loose pocket change to Youth Group
to donate for the sponsorship of "our boys"!
Worldwide, 600 million children live in poverty.
Sometimes we feel that there is no way we can
make a difference. But, we can make a difference
for these two!
RETREAT - Plans are beginning to be made for
our Epiphany Retreat. It will be held at the St.
Francis Retreat Center in Dewitt, beginning on
Friday evening, January 2, and concluding mid-day
Sunday, January 4. We are encouraging families to
look ahead and adjust holiday schedules so that
their teens will be able to attend. It will be a
powerful experience.
Faculty/Community
Book Discussion Group
Our reading group will meet this
Thursday, November 20. to
conclude its discussion of The Power
of Parable: How Fiction by Jesus Became
Fiction About Jesus by John Dominic Crossan We meet
from 5:30-7:00pm in Room #12 (Library) at
St. John. All are welcome to join us.
Rite of Christian Initiation for
Adults Update
This past Sunday the catechumens,
candidates, and their sponsors gathered
to consider the topic, "The Trinity".
Although this belief that there are three Persons in
one God is difficult to comprehend, we do know a
number of things about the Trinity.
The Trinity is a community of Three Persons. Jesus is
referred to as the Son of God in the Gospels. Jesus
refers to God as his and our Father. Jesus promises
to send the Spirit to be present with us after his
resurrection and ascension.
Throughout scripture we see a God who wants to
have a relationship with us (Genesis 17: 1ff). We
learn that God is love (I John 4: 7-10). The Persons
of the Trinity are in an ongoing love relationship with
one another and with us.
Since we are created in the image and likeness of
God, it makes sense that none of us is complete in
himself or herself. Each of us has tremendous dignity
because of who we are, not because of what we do
or possess. We have a clear indication that we are to
love one another as God has loved us (I John 4: 11).
If you have any questions about the Rite of Christian
Initiation of Adults or would like to discuss the
possibility of joining the next group of inquirers, call
Pete Ries at 517-351-5460, ext. 1328 or e-mail him at
[email protected].

And so much more…..
Faith Sharing Questions For Next Sunday
We invite you to prepare for the liturgy next Sunday,
November 23, by reflecting on the Gospel, Matthew
25:31-46. The evangelist describes the final judgment as
a great assembly in which all people are divided between
those who humbly serve the needs of others and those
who don’t.
Every dollar that is donated reduces the cost of
participating for all!! Contact Music Director, Matt
Eldred at [email protected] or visit the office
at either of our parish locations to get more details or
make a donation.
Questions: “Do I humbly submit to authority and obey
those charged with caring for me? What prevents me
from seeing the face of God in others?
For further reflections on the Sunday readings,
see the link to “Bringing Home the Word” on the Adult Faith
Formation page of our parish website, www.elcatholics.org.
Adrian Dominicans Sisters Hosting
‘Come and See’
December 12-14
Living the Paschal Mystery
The Dominican Sisters of Adrian invite single Catholic
women to spend one weekend in Advent listening to
God’s voice to discern whether they have a call to
religious life as Dominican Sisters. The next Come
and See Weekend is set for December 12-14, at the
Motherhouse, 1257 E. Siena Heights Drive, Adrian,
Michigan.
The free event will give participants the opportunity
to speak to Adrian Dominican Sisters; to spend time
in prayer and meals with them; and to learn about
Dominican spirituality, ministries, and the discernment
process.
God's Life within us has enormous potential. We are to
grow into the rich persons God intends us to be. Yet, in
our everyday living of the Gospel we can be fearful or lazy.
Real growth in our potential and the Life God has given us
comes in taking risks. We risk dying to self and increasing
our Life when we see someone we don't know who is
poor and in need (see first reading) and still reach out to him
or her (without judgment). We risk dying to self and
increasing our Life when we share our own "talents" by
volunteering for a liturgical ministry or for one of the
parish committees, even if we feel others may be more
qualified.
For further information or to register, please contact
Sister Durstyne Farnan, OP, at
[email protected], or call 517-2663537. Registrations will also be taken online, http://
www.adriandominicans.org/BecomeaSister/
ComeandSeeRegistration.aspx.
The shock of this gospel is the extravagance of what is
being given to us. All we need to do is be faithful in
"small matters." Then we, indeed, will "share [in our]
Master's joy." We will be judged at the end of time
not by quantity, but by how well we have used our
potential and increased the goodness and dignity, the
Life and love within us and within others. Living Liturgy 2014
