November  2012

Dear Pro Sanctity Prayer Partners:

It is November already.  Although our calendar year is coming to a close, our apostolic year, as well as the year Pope Benedict has christened the Year of Faith is just beginning.  I pray that we all make a special effort to express gratitude and find multiple things to be thankful for as the season encourages us to do. 

We also begin a new formation manual this month:  Famished for the Same Bread.  This wonderful new resource helps us to combine scripture, the catechism, the words of Pope Benedict, and the words of our founder to more fully experience the riches of our faith and the priceless gift of the Eucharist.    The paragraph below is taken directly from the formation manual. 

Excerpt from the Apostolic Letter of Pope Benedict XVI, Porta Fidei
9. We want this Year to arouse in every believer the aspiration to profess the faith in fullness and with renewed conviction, with confidence and hope. It will also be a good opportunity to intensify the celebration of the faith in the liturgy, especially in the Eucharist, which is “the summit towards which the activity of the Church is directed; ... and also the source from which all its power flows.”[14] At the same time, we make it our prayer that believers’ witness of life may grow in credibility. To rediscover the content of the faith that is professed, celebrated, lived and prayed,[15] and to reflect on the act of faith, is a task that every believer must make his own, especially in the course of this Year.

Let us pray especially this month for an increased desire to rediscover our faith, to become aware of the priceless gift that we have been given to have faith in the first place, which is not of ourselves but from God who wanted so much for us to know His love for us that He gave His only Son for our salvation.  Let us also pray for those affected by recent storms and those who are working to assist them. 

Thank you for praying with us
Dan and Joan Kash, Marian Lenz, Anne Zugelder

           It Was Good

Death was not of the beginning
My sinfulness makes death a necessity

In the beginning God was
Out of love God created all things
And God saw that it was good

I am filled with goodness
In baptism I am the beloved Son
With God is my heart desire

United with Jesus in Communion
Grace and strength comes
Redemption becomes salvation

Dying comes everyday
In big ways in small ways die
And God saw that it was good
