Thirty First Sunday in Ordinary Time

Hey everyone,

just a reminder that there is a meeting tomorrow
at 5:30pm at SLC 1115
which is our usual meeting room for the rest of the semester now.

Also, tomorrow THE SOURCE
is hapenning at the University of McMaster
and we have been invited (it's from 6-8pm).

The SOURCE is a recurring Adoration-based event at McMaster and this time:  the theme is "Our call, surrendering to God's love". HOW UTTERLY PERFECT. SO nowww we can truly reflect on this week's Gospel, for if we know how to surrender, we are exercising our FAITH, and we are choosing to IMITATE Christ. Fr. Hansoo Park is our amaazing speaker who will further expand on God's ridiculous amount of love for us, and how to surrender to it! (copied shamelessly from a MACSA email)

If enough people are interested we'll send out a delegation from UW :)

This Saturday is the optional memorial of St. Simeon and Jude, the Apostles - hence the picture on the left.

P.S.: Today is the feast day of St. Luke the Evangelist, pictured on the left.

Midterm Break

Hey guys,

I hope midterm studying is going well,
and that you're not too stressed out (or sick!)

There will be no meeting this week,
on account of all the sorts of studying going on,
so I wish you good luck with that.:P

Also, the situation in Egypt I mentioned on Thanksgiving
is getting worse, so please consider singing and sending the following letter to our Prime Minister Harper.

God bless and peace of Christ be with you!

-Daniel

Coptic Unrest

Hey guys,


I hope you're having a blessed Thanksgiving!

We have many things to thank God for, one of which is the (relatively okay) religious freedom we enjoy in Canada.
Our Christian brothers in Egypt are not so fortunate.
After trying to hold a peaceful protest after the burning of a Coptic Church,
they were attacked by angry mobs and later the Egyptian military,
leaving at least 24 people dead.

I urge you to please include our Coptic Christian brethren in your prayers!

Here is one of the articles on the recent developments.

Eucharistic Adoration

"Adoration will heal our Church and thus our nation and thus our world... Adoration touches everyone and everything... [because it touches the Creator, Who touches everything and everyone]... When we adore, we plug into infinite dynamism and power. Adoration is more powerful for construction than nuclear bombs are for destruction." - Peter Kreeft, philosopher at Boston College

“The greatest love story of all time is contained in a tiny white Host.” – Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

The Laurier Catholic Club organizes weekly Adoration on Thursdays from 7:00-8:00pm followed by studying the YOUCAT from 8:00-9:00pm, in the Lutheran Seminary Chapel (there are no other Catholic chapels at WLU). The topic this week will be the first chapter of the YOUCAT.

P.S.: For those of you who have been on our mailing list for a while, you can check out our new blog here.
