They are our parents, our grandpar- and both of them give everything they have. Widows in the ents and members of our families who have sacrificed their ancient Near East were doubly bereft, losing both their hus- comfort and resources so that we might have our band and their status. So for one of them to give more is faith. They are sisters and teachers who taught us about Jesus even more impressive. As we listen to these sacred words of Christ, the sacraments and the Life of God that we receive at scripture today, what can we hear about the things we have Mass. and what we need to do with them? They are friends who supported us in our choices to do what is decent, good, pure and noble. They are priests who inspired us. They are people who live down the street, and dropped everything to come help us. Adoration Chapel Altar Candle Dedication Many of us tend to think that only extraordinary people Nov. 2 - 8 are holy.
