Church of the Divine Child, Dearborn, Michigan Page 3 The Big Picture With Fr. Bob Dear Friends, This week, we will be celebrating one of my favorite national holidays. Yes, Thanksgiving Day will be here in just a THANKSGIVING DAY few days. 9:00AM MASS We should all do some soul searching at this time. We need to ask ourselves NOTE: There is only 8:30am Mass on the following questions: Am I a person Friday, November 27. No 6:30am Mass. of thanksgiving or am I a person lacking gratitude? How much of my conversation is spent finding fault with others and how much PLEASE NOTE: The Rectory Office will be closed time is spent thanking others? How many times in the past for business on Wednesday, November 25. month have I spoken about people behind their backs and how many times have I tried to build bridges? We live in an imperfect world. We could spend every waking moment complaining and speaking ill of people, but IMPORTANT NOTICE FROM that would get us nowhere. Sometimes, we need to have a ARCHBISHOP ALLEN VIGNERON heart-to-heart conversation with someone who has offended The obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and us. Most people do not look forward to having such a Holy Days of Obligation for people living in or conversation. This sort of dialogue needs to take place in a spirit of humility; otherwise things may just get worse. We visiting the Archdiocese of Detroit has been cannot enter the conversation thinking we have all the extended until Ash Wednesday, answers. We may be judging someone harshly without even February 17, 2021. having all the facts. Please see the full letter on page 9. Jesus gives us much to think about on the topic of judging. In Matthew 7:1-5, He spells out the price we pay for judging others. "Stop judging, that you may not be judged. For as you judge, so will you be judged and the measure with which you measure will be measured out to you. Why do you notice the splinter in your brother's eye, but do not perceive the wooden beam in your own eye? You hypocrite, remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother's eye.” If we are going to be authentic disciples of the Lord, we need to work on two things simultaneously. First, we need to decrease our negativity: in our thoughts, our words, and our actions. Second, we need to increase our thankfulness: in our thoughts, our words, and our actions. Remember, we are called to be the light of the world. Do not let your light grow dim due to a judgmental spirit. We are all standing in need of God's mercy. May we lovingly and humbly relate to one another with gratitude and mercy. In Beginning Sunday, November 29, the Beatitudes (Matthew 5:7) He tells us, "Blessed are the and until further notice, our Sunday Mass merciful, they shall obtain mercy.” When I meet the Lord schedule will be: face to face for the first time, I want Him to be all about mercy! How about you? May we live our lives in such a way that will allow this to happen. Saturday 4:30 PM May mercy and gratitude shine forth in all our lives this Sunday 8:00 AM coming Thanksgiving Day and always. 9:30 AM God’s Peace and Joy, 11:00 AM Fr. Bob 12:30 PM Page 4 Church of the Divine Child, Dearborn, Michigan ADVENT TREE LIGHTING NOTICE: Due to the recent MDHHS update, there will not be a community gathering for the Advent Tree Lighting on November 29.
