The Psalmist is encouraging us to pray that the Lord protect the vine he has planted, helping us, giving us new life so we turn to the Lord and are saved. The Holy Spirit through “the first letter to the Corinthians’ is teaching us to give thanks to God for the graces he gave us in Christ Jesus. Jesus is teaching us to be watchful and alert for his coming. Father I give you thanks and praise for the grace of salvation you gave us in Christ Jesus. Open the hearts of all your children to accept the saving power of Jesus so our hearts are turned to you in praise and that we are alert to the coming of Jesus in glory. I ask you this in Jesus. Amen. Most Holy Virgin Mary pray for us. St. Joseph pray for us.
SAINT JOHN GABRIEL PERBOYRE —The eldest son of Pierre and Marie, John Gabriel, was born on the 6th of January 1802. In 1816 John Gabriel accompanied a younger brother, Louis, to a high school in Montauban that had been started by their uncle, Fr. Jacques Perboyre, C.M., to prepare young men for the seminary. In the Spring of 1817, his teachers noting John Gabriel’s intelligence and piety suggested he remain with his brother and continue his studies. Though willing to return home if needed on the farm, John Ga- briel wrote to his father that he believed that the Lord was calling him to the priesthood. In December of 1835, Father Perboyre, along with several missionaries, set sail from Macao in a Junk. Since the Chinese law forbade the entry of Christian missionaries, the Christian captain and crew disguised themselves as merchants and smuggled John Gabriel on to the mainland of China. Following a five month overland journey to the Vincentian mission center in Ho-nan, Father Perboyre suffered a severe attack of fever that forced him to rest for three months. But he was able enough to continue his mastering of the Chinese language. In the company of two Chinese Vincentians he spent the years 1837 and 1838 reanimating the faith in Catholic villages by preaching, catechizing and administering the sacraments. For more than a century, China outlawed Christianity and had a death penalty on all Europeans attempting to spread the faith. Au- thorities often overlooked this law, but in 1839 the Viceroy of the province of Hu-pei began a persecution and used his local Manda- rins to obtain the names of priests and catechists in their areas. In September 1839, the Mandarin of Hu-pei, where there was a Vin- centian mission center, sent soldiers to arrest the missionaries. Warned of the danger by some Christians, the priests scattered in different directions. John Gabriel hid in a bamboo forest, but a beaten and tortured catechist led the soldiers to him. Frequently tor- tured in prison, Father Perboyre refused to betray his faith and his associates. In May 1840 his case went to the Emperor where he was found guilty of preaching Christianity and condemned to death. John Gabriel Perboyre was executed on September 11, 1840, in the Chinese custom of being tied to a stake and triple strangled. The heroic suffering and death of John Gabriel led to his beatifica- tion in 1889. And in recent times, Pope John Paul II canonized him as Saint John Gabriel Perboyre, C.M., on June 2nd 1996.
ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY— Our parish St Vincent de Paul conference Tree of Sharing is at the back of the church. The process and timeline are different this year - because of COVID concerns and because the White Elephant stores generously donated toys when they closed this summer! The tags on the tree are for gift cards, which we will give to the families so they may fill in the gaps between White Elephant toys, and other needs or wants. If you are able, please take a tag, purchase the requested gift card, and return it WITH THE TAG on or before December 13th. If you can’t take a tag this year, please consider supporting the families by offering prayer to those in need this Christmas.
