Cancelled Postage Stamps: Christmas is on its way and it is one of the heaviest postal delivery times with an abundance of cancelled stamps to save for our CND sisters. Below is part of a letter from Lise Bédard, CND, regarding cancelled stamps.
“Dear missionaries through the used stamps appeal,
The used stamps campaign responds concretely to the Gospel of the day according to Matthew: “as you did to one of the least of my brethren, you did to me.” (Matthew 25:40)
The poor little stamp continues its missionary journey thanks to the missionary commitment of each person who finds a lost stamp and turns it into an evangelical tool. The journey is ultimately a matter of heart and creative research…
Thank you to all parishioners for continuing to collect cancelled stamps and to associates for doing their part. Thank you also to the CND sisters in the many regions where we minister.
The total collected this year is $500.
Lise Bédard, CND”
Additional information will be provided in the bulletin during the Advent season. The box for cancelled stamps is in the overflow area on the bookshelves. Thank you for taking the time to be “missionaries” for Central America and Cameroon, Africa!
MAY THE GOD OF BEAUTY be with you, filling your heart with the beauty of creation, sensitizing you to the beauty hidden beneath hurt and pain, poverty and suffering. May God open your eyes to the beauty within yourself and to the wonders of God’s ways for you. May the blessing of BEAUTY be upon you.
COMMERCIAL TIME: “MANY years ago an old preacher had a fundraiser and there were 25 or so soap companies vying to be sponsors. In those days there were products like DRIFT, DUZ, VEL, WOODBURY, LIFEBUOY . . . Remember? This old preacher decided to do a mix and match Church commercial with them. It went something like this . . .
DUZ you DRIFT with the TIDE? VEL, now is the time to CHEER up if you want to feel real JOY. It is as simple as ABC. The TREND should be to BREEZE to church on Sunday, because worship is your LIFEBUOY; yet, too many people WOODBURY their head in a pillow, or work to make their own SPARKLE, forgetting the Lord’s Day was made for LESTOIL, and forgetting the Lord is their SUN ‘O LIGHT.
Perhaps we would to DIAL ZERO with a message, but if the Lord is put first, a DOVE will never need to be sent with an SOS to remind you of the IVORY palaces yonder. So why not WHISK yourself out of bed next Sunday, dress up SPIC & SPAN and look FANTASTIC as you DASH like a COMET to church. Then be BOLD as you SHOUT PRAISE to the Lord and you’ll feel like MR. CLEAN all week. AMEN!”
