Other bulletins are available also in the archive section of our upper menu. Thank you to everyone who has contributed, still is contributing to our lift project. To the men who are working hard on getting the church ready to have the lift installed. We will continue receiving donations for the lift as the 30 thousand covers the cost of the lift equipment and installation, but as you can see there is more work to be done.Comments (0) 16.11.2007. 18:26 FINAL GIFTS Book ReviewI recently read a most extraordinary novel by Maggie Callanan and Patricia Kelley discussing some of the needs of the dying person. As a caregiver often working with the terminally ill I found this book to be most helpful. However, the information and stories shared in this book were written for anyone, especially families who have journeyed with a dying person or are on that journey now.
“Final Gifts” was written by two hospice nurses who began to notice common themes of the needs of people approaching death. By listening carefully to their communication attempts, they were able to relieve anxieties experienced for many different reasons by a dying person.
Their writing style is simple and they share many true stories to help illustrate how we can help those who are nearing the end of their journey on earth. I believe this book not only helps the dying but is most helpful to those of us left behind. Although it is extremely difficult to journey with the dying, they often leave you with precious gifts.
This book will help you discover some of those gifts.

Comments on the Scholar's Many Lessons
VATICAN CITY, NOV. 14, 2007 St. Jerome left the Church many valuable lessons for everything from raising children to the importance of reading the Bible daily, says Benedict XVI.
The Pope said this today to the 25,000 people who had gathered in St. Peter's Square for the general audience. He drew heavily from the letters of the biblical exegete St. Jerome (347-419/420) to illustrate the many counsels the scholar gave.
The Holy Father said that in Jerome's writings, he "underlined the joy and importance of familiarizing oneself with the biblical texts." He cited one of the epistles of the scholar: "Don't you feel, here on earth, that you are already in the kingdom of heaven, just by living in these texts, meditating on them, and not seeking anything else?"
Jerome saw the Bible as the "catalyst and source of Christian life for all situations and for everyone," said the Holy Father. He further quoted teh biblical scholar, "The study and meditation of Scripture makes man wise and at peace."
"Certainly, to penetrate more deeply the word of God, a constant and increasing practice is necessary," said the Pope. He quoted Jerome who advised in a letter, "Read the divine Scriptures with much regularity; let the Holy Book never be laid down by your hands."
"Love sacred Scripture and wisdom shall love you; love it tenderly, and it will protect you; honor it and you shall receive its caresses," Jerome had written to a spiritual daughter. "Love the science of Scripture, and you shall not love the vices of the flesh," added the exegete.
