For Reflection:

Am I as persistent in prayer as I am in pursuing other goals? Does God's apparent lack of response invite me to greater trust and perseverance rather than to question his goodness? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

St. Benedict's Poor Box

Thank you to all who support the poor box! 100 percent of current donations to the poor box are given to a local charity, Ripley County Backpacks for Friday Program, which works in cooperation with the SEMO Food Bank and local schools to send home each weekend a backpack filled with non-perishable snacks and other foods for students in need and their families. A donation of $350 feeds a family of four during an entire school year. Even a few dollars could make a difference in the life of a hungry child! So far this year, we have sponsored 2 families! Thank you!!

Everyone is encouraged to come and spend quiet time with our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament during Eucharistic Adoration.
