The 1946 Frank Capra classic stars Jimmy Stewart as George Bailey from Bedford Falls. As the movie begins we hear a conversation from heaven between two angels. One of the angels, named Clarence, receives his assignment to ‘earn his angels’ wings. The angel Clarence has to come down to earth to save George Bailey, who on Christmas Eve is about to throw himself off a bridge in desperation. Life around George is unraveling and he wishes he were never born. As the movie unfolds Clarence shows George how truly valuable his life has been. He has touched and helped and saved people during the course of his life in ways that he did not know or imagine. Clarence says to George: “Strange, isn’t it? Each man’s life touches so many other lives, and when he isn’t around he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?” How true that it is. There are so many good Christian themes in the movie. The value of faith, love, marriage, family, friendship, charity, and how each of us is blessed in so many ways are brought forth. This weekend is Gaudete Sunday and we are told to rejoice. Give thanks to God today for the gift of life and family and love. Thank God especially for the gift of Mercy in this Year of Mercy. Spend a few hours during the Christmas Season to watch this beautiful film, especially with your family. It truly is a wonderful life and I know your life has touched many others by your love and mercy. God is so good. Rejoice always! God Bless you and your family, Fr.

The list is endless. The words spoken at mass, “The Lord is with you,” are not a hope, they are a fact. STEWARDS SHARE IN THANKSGIVING “Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God.” (Philippians 4:6) St. Paul reminds us that our God is an abundant God, the ultimate giver of gifts. He promises to give his Stewards all that they need. When we trust that God will take care of us, it is easier for us to share what we have been given.

Alégrate, "Es una vida maravillosa" Una de mis películas favoritas durante la temporada de Navidad es “It’s a Wonderful Life” Qué bello es vivir. Las estrellas clásicas de 1946 Frank Capra, Jimmy Stewart como George Bailey de Bedford Falls. Al comenzar la película oímos una conversación desde el cielo entre dos ángeles. Uno de los ángeles, llamado Clarence, recibe su asignación a 'ganar sus alas de ángeles. El ángel Clarence tiene que descender a la tierra para salvar a George Bailey, que en la víspera de Navidad está a punto de arrojarse desde un puente por desesperación. La vida alrededor de George se está desmoronando y desea nunca haber nacido. A medida que la película se desarrolla Clarence muestra a George lo verdaderamente valioso ha sido su vida. Ha tocado y ayudado y salvado personas durante el transcurso de su vida en formas que no conocía o imaginar. Clarence dice a George: "Es extraño, ¿no? La vida de cada hombre toca tantas otras vidas, y cuando no está de alrededor de él deja un agujero horrible, ¿no es así? "¿Qué t cierto que es así. Hay tantos buenos temas cristianos en la película. El valor de la fe, el amor, el matrimonio, la familia, la amistad, el amor, y cómo cada uno de nosotros somos bendecido de muchas maneras que se presen sucesivamente. Este fin de semana es Domingo Gaudete y se nos dice que nos alegremos. Da gracias a Dios hoy por el don de la vida y la familia y el amor. Gracias a Dios especialmente por el don de la Misericordia en este Año de la Misericordia. Pasar unas horas durante la temporada de Navidad para ver esta hermosa película, sobre todo con tu familia. Realmente es una vida maravillosa y sé que su vida ha tocado muchos otros por su amor y misericordia. Dios es muy bueno. Estad siempre alegres!

La lista es sin fin. Las palabras habladas en misa, “El Señor esta con Tigo” no son una esperanza, son una realidad. COMPARTE EN AGRADECIMIENTO 3er domingo de adviento "No se inquieten por nada; más bien, en toda ocasión, con oración y ruego, presenten sus peticiones a Dios y denle gracias." (Filipenses 4:6-7) San Pablo nos recuerda que nuestro Dios es un Dios de abundancia, el proveedor supremo de todos nuestros regalos. El promete darnos todo lo que necesitamos. Cuando confiamos en que Dios nos cuidará, es más fácil para nosotros compartir lo que se nos ha dado. Colecta Total: Diciembre 6, 2015 $14,692.00 ¡Gracias por su generosidad!

The world was a playground for Mickey, a naive Irish American kid bored with his life. His father served in World War II, his brother was a Marine in Vietnam; now it was his turn. His 365 days in Vietnam builds in torment until an attack on a bunker complex in Cambodia. Wounded, his friend captured, he becomes a tormented survivor knowing he is always just a heartbeat from death. C40281 (JA) - Holy Cross, Bridgeton AVAILABLE NOW!
