A Thanksgiving Prayer
Oh, God when I have food,
help me to remember the hungry.
When I have work, help me
to remember the jobless;
When I have a warm home,
help me to remember the homeless;
When I am without pain,
help me to remember those who suffer;
And remembering, help me
to destroy my complacency
and bestir my compassion.
Make me concerned enough
to help, by word and deed,
those who cry out
for what we take for granted.

MORE BULLETIN ANNOUNCEMENT
Please return the parish survey ASAP.
We hope you will add your name to the
volunteer list.
SACRAMENT: Anointing of the Sick
after the 5:00p.m.Mass on Nov. 14th.
The Sacrament of the Anointing was once
called “The Last Rites” or “Extreme
Unction” which was administered to
someone who was dying. But, since the
Second Vatican Council , the sacrament is
for all Catholics whose health is impaired
by sickness, pain or age or to anyone who
feels they would benefit from receiving it. It
is focused on trust in God in whatever
happens – and on healing – in whatever
form that may take. A Catholic may receive
it more than once.
=========================
The Knights of Columbus Council at
Willisville will have a meeting on November
17th immediately after mass to discuss the
status of the council. Also, anyone interested
in the Knights of Columbus are welcome to
attend the meeting

PRAYER OF REMEMBRANCE
FOR NOVEMBER
Father in heaven, in whom there is no
shadow or change; we thank you for the
gift of life eternal, and for all those who
having served you well, now rest from
their labors.
We thank you for all the saints
remembered and forgotten, for those
dear souls most precious to us. Today,
we give thanks for those who during the
last twelve months have died and
entered into glory. We bless you for their
life and love, and rejoice for them.
Father, mindful of all those choice souls
who have gone on ahead of us, teach us:
: to follow their example to the best of
our ability,
: to feed the poor in body or spirit,
: to support and comfort the mourners
and the repentant,
: to encourage the meek and stand with
them in crises,
: to affirm those who hunger and thirst
for righteousness,
: to cherish and learn from the merciful,
: to be humbled by, and stand with the
peacemakers.
Let us clearly recognize what it means to
be called the children of God, and to
know we are to be your saints not by our
own inclination or by our own strength
but simply by the death and resurrection
of your Son Jesus Christ our Savior.
AMEN.
