The Fourth Sunday of Advent Today’s Gospel is the familiar story of the An-nunciation of the Angel Gabriel to Mary. Imagine this gospel scene and focus on the conversation between Mary and the Angel. “The Lord is with you.” “Do not be afraid.” “Nothing is impossible for God.” “Let it be done to me according to your word.” Mary trusted that God was with her and that she had nothing to fear. Wit all the uncertainties, questions and challeng-es of this past year, how have you, like Mary been able to trust that God was with you? Take a few minutes each day to pray the “Hail Mary” asking for Mary’s help to strengthen your trust in God.
Saint Vincent de Paul This year due to Covid-19 concerns, the Saint Vincent de Paul District office, will not be providing reduced cost dinners as they have in the past. Therefore, we at Sacred Heart Parish will not be able to distribute dinners at Thanksgiving and Christmas to our friends in the community. Also, this fall due to corona virus re-strictions, we will not be having one of our major sources of in-come “the Walk for the Poor.” As you all know the need to help the poor is continuous. “The Poor you will always have with you” (John 12:8) We, the members of St Vincent de Paul of Sacred Heart wish to be of help to the needy of our parish, especially during these unprece-dented times. As the uncertainty of COVID continues many fami-lies, in our diverse community, are facing situations where the bread winner is still out of work, will be struggling to pay for heat and food, all this with the threat of eviction possibly on the hori-zon. Now more than ever we really could use your help. If you, in your charity, can help us help the poor, we will be grateful. Please send your tax-deductible donations made payable to St. Vincent de Paul to: St Vincent de Paul Society Sacred Heart Parish 169 Cummins Highway Roslindale, MA 02131 “Beloved you are faithful in all you do for the brothers especially strangers” (3 John:5)

PROJECT COOKIE DOUGH UPDATE:
Although the past several months have been on hold, your patience throughout this unusual ordeal has been very much appreciated. While we are not yet in a posi-tion to revive Project Cookie Dough, we have not for-gotten your commitment to those less fortunate.

Flu season is upon us “Getting a flu vaccine is more important than ever during 2020-2021 season to protect yourself and the people around you from flu, and to help reduce the strain on healthcare systems responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.” The best way to prevent the spread of the flu is to stay home if you are not feeling well, frequent hand-washing and to get a flu shot. The flu vaccine is rec-ommended for people 6 months and older. It is par-ticularly important to receive the vaccine if you are 65 and older or have a pre-existing condition such as diabetes, asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary dis-ease (COPD), heart disease, stroke, cancer, HIV/AIDS, cancer, chronic kidney disease, or are preg-nant. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) recom-mends getting a vaccine by the end of October. There is a high dose vaccine for 65 years and older. Be sure to ask about this when getting your vaccine. We recommend trying to obtain the shot from your primary care office first. If they are unable to accom-modate you, here are some local places where you can receive a flu shot. Given the current pandemic, we recommend calling or making an appointment on their website, when possible, to make sure that they can accommodate you.

THE GIVING TREE The popular Giving Tree has been elimi-nated this year due to COVID 19. Receiving and returning tags to the tree is a danger to spreading the virus. It has been suggested that gift cards be sent directly to the Italian Home for Children, 1125 Centre St., Jamaica Plain 02130 or our St. Vincent de Paul Society here at Sacred Heart Par-ish.
Sacred Heart Health Ministry needs your assistance with making prayer shawls.
What is a prayer shawl? “The makers of these special, hand –knit or crochet shawls pray before the shawl is made, pray while work-ing on the shawl, and pray after it is finished. When completed, the shawl is given to someone experiencing a particularly difficult time and in need of prayer. Shawl may to to someone suffering from a serious illness or to one who has perhaps experienced a grievous loss. Prayers that accompany the shawls ask God to help renew the body as well as the spirit. They ask him to restore the recipient to hope, strength, and healing.” If you are interested, please come to our next meet-ing December 10 at 7:00 pm via Zoom. Please con-tact Caitlin Erwin at [email protected] for the meeting link.
¿Qué es un chal é una manta de oración?
“Las tejedoras hacen su obra a mano y rezando antes, durante y cuando terminan la manta ó shal. Cuando está complete, la manta o el chal se entrega a una perso-na pasando por un momento bien dificil y nesesita oración. Las mantas ó los chales pueden ir a alguien que tiene una enfermedad grave é alguien quien pasando el tiempo de pésame. Las oraciones que acompañan a las mantas ó los chales piden qeu Dios ayude a renovar el cuerpo y el espíritu. Le piden qeu restaure la esperanza, lafuerza ye al curación.” Si está interesado, venga a nuestra próxima re-union el 10 de diciembre 7:00 pm a través de Zoom.

Volunteers Needed In order to worship in a safe way, we need everyone’s help. You may have noticed that it takes many of us these days to gather as a community. We have ushers, lectors, Eucharistic ministers, parking lot attendants, screeners at the door etc. As our numbers increase, we will likely need to add on another mass. This means that we need more help from volunteers. If you are willing to assist, please go to the parish website at https://www.sh-roslindale.org/ and select the tab for Volunteers Needed for Mass. This will bring you to a google form where you can tell us your availability and preference on the ways you are comfortable participating. Please reach out to Caitlin Erwin at [email protected] with any questions.

Prayer of Spiritual Communion No particular prayer or formulary is required, though there are acts of spiritual communion in Catholic prayer books to help focus a proper intention. One of the most popular is that composed by St. Alphonsus Liguori: “My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the Blessed Sacrament. I love you above all things and I desire you with all my heart. Since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, I ask you to come spiritually into my heart. I embrace you as if you were already in my heart and unite me to you completely. Please do not let me ever be separated from you.”
