Has MailedAs we have mentioned, allthough the electronic copy of the summer issue of SHARE has been posted below for some time, the “hard copy” was delayed because the company that prints SHARE was encountering supply chain issues.
It has been printed and mailed and you should receive it shortly.
Again, our apologies for this long delay.

Father ed's sunday reading
December 12, 2021
Third Sunday of Advent (C)
Zephaniah 3:14-18;
Philippians 4:4-7;
Luke 3:10-18
This Third Sunday in Advent is full of comfort and joy. In our Latin past it was called “Gaudete Sunday,” (gaudete meaning rejoice.)
The liturgy bids us be happy, not to worry, for the Lord is near. And if we want the peace of God in our hearts, that peace will be ours, if we ask God for it. St Paul says, “There is no need to worry; but if there is anything you need, pray for it, asking God for it with prayer and thanksgiving.” He tells us not to wait until after
God has granted our requests before saying thanks. Even as we ask, we should be giving thanks.
One of the things to thank God for at the end of this year is all the good done by so many good people in our time by St John the Baptist, as described by St Luke.

Fall Message
My dear Sisters in Christ,
Our goal in this life is to be united with God and His angels and saints after life on this earth. Our first task to accomplish this is to learn about the lives of many faithful women. The saints lived their lives listening to God and doing His will.
How time flies!
We are busy making plans for the 2022 National Convention.
Wasn’t it just last week we were working on the 2020 National Convention?
Enjoy every day!
My mother-in-law, Eleanor, lived by this statement; “Take every day and make it a masterpiece.”
She was a wise and wonderful mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and Catholic Daughter.
Do I always make each day the best it can be? Or do I hurry through emails, laundry, housekeeping and the many daily tasks of life? Did I take time to pray and listen to God? Did I take time to listen to my children or friend who needed to be heard always believing that there is a tomorrow?
