Last weekend's homily revealed the salesman in me as I promoted everyone getting a yearly subscription to the "Give Us This Day" monthly periodical which contains prayers, scripture readings from daily and weekend Masses, and reflections on the readings from some holy and learned people of the past and some who are living today. It also gives a once-a-day biographical sketch of a virtuous, Christ-like person for our edification and imitation.
Unlike people who promote items in television commercials who may or may not use the product they are selling, I can tell you that I use "Give Us This Day" almost everyday, and find it beneficial to my life in Christ in a way that other periodicals I have used did not. Please consider joining in on our bulk subscription which is $20 for one year (beginning in July).
We put the booklets out about two weeks before the start of the new month on a table in the narthex for you to pick up and mark your name off the list indicating that you have picked up your copy. While 140 people subscribed this past year, I hope and pray that even more will use this daily tool to grow in our spritual lives and in our under standing of God's word.
You can sign-up and place your $20 in the basket in the narthex (putting paid by your name) or your can call the office, 922-2062, and leave your name with Linda Daniels at extension 10, and either mail in your $20, or drop it by the office during working hours: 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. and 1:00 to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. Believe me, it will be money and time well spent!
