Yard Sale
Put your faith into action with the St. Vincent de Paul Society with what you have at home.
Clean out your home and host a yard sale. Consider giving the proceeds to a local charity or your parish. You can also have a lemonade stand or sell concessions (popcorn, etc.) to raise funds. Consider donating new and gently used items to your local St. Vincent de Paul thrift store.
Help Me Be Still
This prayer can help us be more like Mary in today's Gospel.
I am so sorry, Lord,
that in my hurrying and scurrying,
I can often miss you at work
before me, within me,
in the majesty of creation
and complexity of the created.
I forget all you have done
and continue to do -
You restore and vindicate
redeem and rescue
in an economy
in a timeline
not our own.
Help me be still
to become one with the Three
to move grounded
in your power
in your mercy
in your love
in fullness of your truth.
Even in my weakness
In my confusion
In my anger
In my frustration
In my sorrow and shortsightedness
Help me simply to be
For still, you are God.

God can speak to us through all the things we say and do at Mass. What do you hear God saying to you today?
