Moving From Charity to Justice
It was beginning to look a lot like Christmas this past weekend. The Giving Trees were overflowing with ornaments again. These ornaments did not have a financial cost to them but there is a cost no less. These ornaments remind us that we will always be involved in works of charity, but questions will remain on our hearts. Each ornament asked a question in direct relation to a need or issue our Adopt-a-Family or Giving Tree organizations were dealing with. Over 1,500 ornaments were taken off the Giving Trees this past weekend! Fr. Eric asked that we reflect and pray as to how each of us can respond. You can listen to Fr. Erics homily at: http:// www.stpatrickscottsdale.org/ W2/christianformation2/ podcasts January 7, 2013
