Weekly Prayer
Early next week we celebrate the feast of St. Teresa of Ávila, also known as St. Teresa of Jesus, a doctor of the Church. She was a very down to earth, charming, relatable saint who, like many of us when we were teens, was a challenge to her father and sometimes those involved with her spiritual direction. She had real struggles with faith including how to come to know God through prayer. Her writings and prayers offer great insights that are very applicable to life today.
Lord, we pray that we are able to take the words of St. Teresa into our hearts -
Help us to see that “Christ has no body now but yours.
No hands, no feet on earth but yours. Yours are the eyes
through which he looks compassion on this world.
Yours are the feet with which he walks to do good.
Yours are the hands through which he blesses all the world.
Yours are the hands, yours are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are his body.
Christ has no body now on earth but yours.”
Help us to use our hands, eyes, feet and hearts to be
the love and compassion of Christ to others.
St. Joseph, our Patron, Pray For Us. Amen.

• Blankets for Father Joe’s Villages •
As you know CCHS has a special relationship with Father Joe’s Villages. They count on us for weekly volunteers helping with meals for those folks who are homeless in San Diego. We’ve received an urgent call for help. Father Joe’s is out of blankets and the nights are getting cooler.
Cooperative Compassion and Care! OLP and Saints are joining in this effort to help those who are homeless have a blanket to keep them warm!
For our Holy Bowl football game, Dons are asked to bring new or gently used blankets to donate to Father Joe’s. It’s even ok if you use it to stay warm during the game and then donate it in the collection boxes outside of Mission & Ministry! Mission & Ministry will have boxes for collection over the next two weeks so anytime you’d like to drop over with a blanket we’d appreciate it.
THANK YOU Dons for helping to put your faith in action, really serving others by helping them stay warm!
