  “Do not be terrified.” (Luke 21:9)                 “Do not let your hearts be troubled.”   (John 14:1)   In all situations, in the face of every worry, Jesus offers comfort to his people. “Don’t worry; my Father has everything under con­trol,” he tells us.                                                                                                                                                       We may see troubling things, we may hear frightening news, but do not be afraid. If only we could all hold fast to this simple phrase: I will not be afraid!            Every­one who turns to him finds help in times of need. We are loved by One who is both our Shepherd and our Guardian.   He has poured his love into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.

      "Small Business Saturday"  will be observed on November 24 . . . . .   It's a day between “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday” dedicated to supporting small businesses in your community . . . . . . Now “ Small Business Saturday” sounds sensible . . . . . something to be supported . . . . It is very much in keeping with the Catholic teaching of subsidiarity . . . . . This tenet holds that nothing should be done by a larger and more complex organization which can be done as well by a smaller and simpler organization . . . . . . smaller and simpler is definitely better . . . . .   “Small Business Saturday” is sandwiched in-between the mammoth monstrosities of “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday” . . . . . . Find a small business store in town and buy something there that you would otherwise need to get at a conglomerate . . . . . Shop downtown . . . . Find a small, mom and pop, neighborhood store . . . . S

    After such a beautiful national holiday - “Thanksgiving Day”, a day dedicated to being grateful to God for all the blessings He has so generously bestowed upon us . . . . it is unfortunate that what should follow are two (2) days “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday” . . . . . . . devoted to selling and shopping for things . . . . not necessarily because we need those things . . . . . but solely because those things are on sale . . . . and we are made to feel that we need to have those things . . . . because those things are at such bargain prices that we cannot possibly pass up such great deals . . . . What’s with “Black Friday” and “Cyber Monday” . . . . . “Black Friday” being the day after “Thanksgiving Day” and “Cyber Monday” being the day after the Thanksgiving Weekend. . . . .    these days have been hijacked . . . . . taken over and become totally commercialized . . . . consumerism gone wild . . . . consumerism immortalized . . . .
