Let us continue to keep Patti and Deborah in our prayers as they care of the health and homecare of Patti's dad.

In order to help them, please add your comments below to share with Patti and Deborah what you remember from our discussions and meeting last night. Also include what you learned or thought was especially important and any other questions/comments you may have.

Thanks.

I know that for me, even before we had sat down around the Thanksgiving Day feast, we had already been bombarded by sales announcements not just for Black Friday, but for Thanksgiving Day Sales on Thanksgiving itself.
It were as if Thanksgiving was under attack by Christmas...and it wasn't even the end of the Catholic Church Year or the beginning of Advent yet.
Thankfully, a friend of mind sent this short reflection around Facebook on Cyber Monday, and I was glad to see there was still one other Catholic soul who seemed to be in the same seasons as me. Tell me, what do you think?

Remember, we will not meet Thursday, November 22nd because of the Thanksgiving holiday. But, I do expect you to continue work on the Study Guide and the Adam & Eve, and Original Sin handout.
I also passed a Handout on the Meaning of the Mass for you to read and asked you to consider this question:
How is the Mass like the Thanksgiving Celebration?

The readings for Sunday, November 11th, the 32nd Sunday in Ordinary Time can be found here: http://usccb.org/bible/readings/111112.cfm

Please take some time before going to church this weekend to read and reflect upon Scripture. Take some time to see the connections between the First Reading and the Gospel.

As  a new exercise, please try at least one of the following:

Click on the PDF below to download the Study Guide for Adam, Eve, and Original Sin.
Please use the comment section in this blog post to ask any questions or share any reflections you may have while reading the handout and/or completing the study guide.

Please read the two Handouts. While you read (or after reading) please take the time to note any questions/comments you have about the Handouts, so we have a place to start our discussion on WED. NOV 7th.

What questions do you have after reading about FAITH?
What questions do you have about reading about the BIBLE?
(Please ask your questions in the comment section. Feel free to ask as many relevant questions as you wish).

See you Wednesday.
