FAITH AND TRUST Did you ever wonder what Mary and Joseph experienced on the first Christmas, the birth of Jesus? They were alone, away from their family and friends, in a manger with straw and livestock, bet that was aromatic! Did they have food? Mary was a young girl, her first birth and no midwife. Joseph, God love him, accepted the message from the angel, yet this was not exactly the way he had planned his life would be. How about those shepherds? Pitch dark, out in the middle of nowhere and an angel appears lighting up the sky, telling them to take a road trip, to an unknown destination! It sounds frightening! I wonder what their thoughts were. They weren’t sure where their life was headed and it wasn’t what they had planned. Does that sound familiar? Are we like them? Are things happening in our lives that are frightening? Are we alone? Are things happening where there isn’t much control? Do we ask where are we going, what or why is this happening? Maybe Joseph, Mary, and the shepherds had the same questions. As far as my question, “Are we like them?” I hope so! Our Blessed Mother, St. Joseph, and the Shepherds put all of their faith and trust in the hands of God. They gave Him their lives and followed. I thank them for their example. “Dear heavenly Father thank you for the confidence in knowing, during times of fear, doubt, uncertainty and frustration we too can rely on our faith and trust in You. You will carry us through. You will send angels into our lives and give us what we need. Amen.” Thank you to everyone who gave Dollar Tree Gift Cards and donations to purchase gift cards for the gentlemen of Saints Peter and Paul Shelter! Due to the generosity of members of the Ladies’ Sodality and parishioners, we surpassed our goal! We received enough donations to give one to each and every person! There were even enough left over to purchase items needed, such as toothpaste, deodorant and razors. At the Ladies’ Sodality Christmas party, women continued to come to me with their gift cards. I was overwhelmed by the thoughtful people who make up our parish family. I was also touched by four women who no longer live in our parish, but still call IHM home, and receive our newsletter and keep in touch; each one of them brought gift cards as well! Dolores Taylor, the president of our Ladies’ Sodality, who has been tremendously supportive of our effort to serve the homeless men of Sts. Peter and Paul shelter, handed me an envelope. Inside was a check from one of our sodalists, who has moved to be with her son near Kansas City! She too, receives the newsletter. Dorothy read about our collection and wanted to reach out to help! It brought tears to my eyes. There are so many people who are willing to give to others. Each week we receive clothing, gloves, coats and more that are donated. I also receive financial donations, which allows me to buy work boots and other items for the men. I am graced by the opportunity to see the look in their eyes when I handed them items they need. Several men have been able to find work in construction and in warehouses due to the steel toe boots I have been able to purchase, thanks to the generosity of our parishioners! I have been told, “Miss Debbie, the boots you gave me led me to a job. My life is turning around. Without the boots I wouldn’t have been hired.” I told him, I am the messenger; it is the good people of Immaculate Heart that make this possible! I feel blessed to be a part of the process. The gleam in their eyes, the smiles on their faces, and the hugs! All are gifts to me. Thank you for allowing me to serve. My heart is full of gratitude and pride. Immaculate Heart of Mary is a thoughtful, generous and giving parish! God bless you all! Debbie - 314-481-7543 4th Sunday of Advent Joy to the world, the Lord is come! We hear those words of the ancient hymn as we gather to celebrate the Birth of the Lord, the Son of God who existed before time, now born among us! We gather to hear again the ancient stories of how “God became human so that humans might become God,” according to St. Augustine. We come to share in Christ because Christ shares in us! I want to personally welcome each and every one of you, whether you are a first-time visitor to Immaculate Heart of Mary church or a long-time parishioner. Welcome and thank you for joining us! As we gather this Christmas, we remember the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem, we rejoice that we are born in Christ, and we remind ourselves that Christ must be born in each one of us. Let us take the time to celebrate and reflect within the Octave of Christmas – eight days of being overwhelmed by the awesome goodness of God who emptied himself to become one of us, and who remains among us that we might all be divinized! One reminder for us – the collections at each of the Christmas Masses goes for the support of our local seminary here in Archdiocese of St. Louis, KenrickGlennon Seminary. The young men studying there are the “in spem ecclesiae” = “the hope of the flock.” Let us assist them with our prayers and support! On behalf of the entire staff here at Immaculate Heart of Mary parish, I wish you and your families a very merry and blessed Christmas! Immaculate Heart of Mary pray for us!

GREAT Response!! Thank you!!!! Thought of the Week 4th Sunday of Advent December 21, 2014 Christmas Letter From the Archbishop Christmas 2014 Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Rejoice! The weeks of Advent waiting are over, and Christ is born! We rejoice in our Savior’s birth—remembering the great gift of faith He has given us through the mystery of His incarnation and the saving power of His death and resurrection. Each year, the people of our archdiocese have been asked to make a special gift on Christmas Day to support our seminarians at KenrickGlennon Seminary. The men of our seminary, who have responded to Christ's call to follow Him, are truly a gift to the Church and to the Archdiocese of St. Louis. It is these men who will bring the faith given to us by Christ 2000 years ago to future generations here in the Archdiocese of St. Louis. I ask you, once again, to pray for vocations and for all our priests and seminarians. I also ask you to be generous in your donation to the Christmas Day collection, which helps pay the day-to-day expenses and maintenance of our seminary. Please be assured of my prayers for you during the season of Christmas. May the Lord of life come into your hearts and homes in a special way during this holy time of year. Sincerely yours in Christ, Most Reverend Robert J. Carlson Archbishop of St. Louis Attention all Highschoolers! There will be NO Saint Louis LifeTeen this Wednesday, December 24th.
