pleased.”

The first reading from the Book of Kings (1Kings 17:10-16 –

prophet Elijah and the widow of Zarephath) and the Gospel (Mark 12:38-44—the widow and her two coins) give us examples of generosity.

Whenever we give, we should remind ourselves that we are giving our gi? to the Lord himself. The widow in Mark

12:41-44 gave what she had, beyond her “wealth,” and surely experienced the sa�sfac�on of being a cheerful giver. Please con�nue to: ∗ Give your love offerings to St. Thomas More Church ∗ Support our St. Thomas More Parish School ∗ Par�cipate in Gi? Giving Sunday this year, providing

Centering Prayer is a method designed to facilitate the development of Contemplative Prayer. Centering

Prayer is not meant to replace other kinds of prayer; rather, it casts a new light and depth of meaning on them. It is at the same time a relationship with God and a discipline to foster that relationship. This method of prayer is a movement beyond conversation beyond conversation beyond conversation beyond conversation with Christ to communion with Him. *with Christ to communion with Him. *with Christ to communion with Him. *with Christ to communion with Him. *

*Excerpts from “The Method of Centering Prayer: The Prayer of Consent” by Thomas Keating

After 9 am Mass there will be Instruction on

Scriptural Ways of Praying.

Our Mother of Perpetual Help

Prayer Group

Meets every Wednesday from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm in the Adoration Chapel. Through the intercession of our Blessed Mother our prayers may be heard.

Mission Team Updates: We want to thank you, our family of families, for your continued sup-port and prayers for this ministry. We returned safe & sound from the mission trip held October 23 to 31, 2015 where we served over 2500 persons providing medical care, medicines, eyeglasses, shoes for the children, some clothing for children and dentistry. The impact of this mission on the poor of El Salvador is great as is the impact on each of us attending the mission. The Holy Spirit was with us and gave us the strength and endurance to work in the rain and heat to provide compassionate care and to spread the Good News of Christ to all those we met on our journey. Please contact Christine or Branson

Hunter at [email protected] or 832-338-3002 for information or to volunteer. Thank you! God Bless!
