Seen nay good movies or TV lately? There are good shows, and the American bishops have an excellent website to help you find them: www.nccbuscc.org Cook for rectory needed: someone to serve the evening meal at 5:30, four or five weekday evenings each week for 3 persons, with occasional guests. Responsibilities include preparation and serving of the meal, cleaning up afterwards, grocery shopping, and ensuring that there is something around to eat over the weekend. Info: Deirdre Rochefort at 450-681-5241. Knowing and loving god: "Communion and contemplation belong together: a person cannot communicate with another person without knowing him. Love or friendship always carries within it an impulse of reverence, of adoration. Communicating with Christ therefore demands that we gaze on him, allow him to gaze on us, listen to him, get to know him. Adoration is simply the personal aspect of Communion" (Pope Benedict XVI). (Come spend some time adoring the Lord in the Blessed Sacrament every weekday after the 9:00 am Mass)
