Welcome to another beautiful month in paradise. Look with the eyes of your soul and see the beauty in others and you will see you are in paradise.

I think it is interesting that, at least in my lifetime and in this society, we celebrate a time for giving thanks before we move in to the season of giving gifts and sharing peace and joy and creating and witnessing miracles and magic. This seems so appropriate: to give thanks for the blessings and good in our life first. All of our prayers should be prayers of thanks for good always comes out of every situation and event. It may not be seen right away but good will come from it. Meister Eckhart said it long ago: “If the only prayer you ever said was ‘thank you’ that would be sufficient.”

Social Security- Questions and Answers By Erin Thompson, Public Affairs Specialist in Toledo, OH

Question:
Is it true that if you have low income you can get help paying your Medicare premiums?

Answer:
Yes. If your income and resources are limited, your state may be able to help with your Medicare Part B premium, deductibles, and coinsurance amounts. State rules vary on the income and resources that apply. Contact your state or local medical assistance, social services, or welfare office, or call the Medicare hotline, 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227), and ask about the Medicare Savings Programs. If you have limited income and resources, you also may be able to get help paying for prescription drug coverage under Medicare Part D. Call Social Security at 1-800-772-1213 (TTY users should call 1-800-325-0778) or visit any Social Security office.

We will have a Parish celebration of the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Rite of Penance) on Tuesday evening, December 18th at 7:00 p.m. in the Church, it will include Advent Vespers, and all are invited to attend. The cry of the prophet to “prepare the way of the Lord” (Isaiah 40:3) echoes throughout the season of Advent. Our Church has long used this mantra as a call to the faithful to celebrate the Sacrament of Penance as a preparation for Christmas. Our spiritual preparation is to remove any sin from our hearts so that we might be ready to accept Christ’s presence worthily, and His gift of peace. Continue reading »

Saint Joseph Parish, Sylvania

Walk through the Liturgy of the Mass with Bishop Barron and you’ll be transformed through insights on this most privileged and intimate encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ. See how the Mass brings us out of the fallen world and into the heavenly realm, how it resonates with a call from God and a response from His people, the Church, and, most importantly, how we are intimately joined with the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus through the Holy Eucharist. The Mass will help you understand how to fully, consciously, and actively participate in the source and summit of the Christian life. This 6-week series will be led by Father Hudgin and held on Tuesday afternoons (12:30 to 2:00 p.m.) and Thursday evenings (6:30 to 8:00 p.m.), beginning January 8th and 10th respectively, in the East Campus Meeting Rooms and Family Center. The sessions will conclude on February 12 and 14. Please register by January 2nd by calling the Parish Center at 419-885-5791, or email at jdenyer@stjoesylvania.org. We hope you will consider participating in this new program by Bishop Robert Barron, The Mass.

Words of Faith

A Thanksgiving Prayer “Come, let us sing for joy to the Lord: let us shout aloud to the Rock of our salvation.” Psalm 100

This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day in America. Canada already had one before the snow and ice hampers that fine but cold nation from giving thanks to God.

Thanksgiving is a wonderful time to gather with family and friends and reflect on the blessings of the last year. Many of us experience renewed hope and faith during the Thanksgiving holiday because we turn our eyes onto what is most important.

What if we spent time each day in giving thanks and prayer? How could God grow out faith and trust if we lived a life of thanks through all seasons and not just Thanksgiving time? When your heart is filled with gratitude, there is little room to worry or complain. Here is a classic Thanksgiving Prayer:
