ST. BERNARD’S GIFT GIVING CLUB
January – OTC medicines, cough drops, aspirin, band-aids, small packages of Kleenex, lip balm, etc.
It’s flu and cold season! Let’s help give some comfort to our needy brothers and sisters! Your “gifts” will be delivered to the clinic at: REPAIRERS OF THE BREACH. This is a daytime shelter, resource center and clinic for homeless people located on 14th & Vliet. Its mission is to “bring forth homeless people to act
collectively to change the present conditions under which
they live, through advocacy and education and direct
action.” It also becomes an “Emergency 24-hour Warming Room” when temperatures become life-threatening. If your generosity allows, we will also
deliver your “gifts” to other shelters who request these
items. Please place your items in the baskets on either side in the back of Church. In addition to this special collection for this shelter, St. Bernard Parishioners provide sandwiches made twice a month. Thank you!

UNDERSTANDING SENIOR ISSUES
IS THERE ANOTHER PERSPECTIVE?
There’s nothing like a new year to inspire us to be healthier, to get those projects done, to break an old habit or start a new one. A fresh start.
As we walk into the possibilities of 2018, what is it we want to do different this year? A fresh start ought to come with greater personal awareness and meaning. Here’s an idea…what if we acknowledged that there may be another perspective other than our own.
I’m not suggesting you entertain ideas that conflict with who you are and what you believe at your core. The distance between some of our firmly held beliefs and someone else’s perspective isn’t always that vast. But without an intent of listening with an open mind we never get to discover that.
We bring our “suitcase” of experiences to every conversation. We have it sitting next to us when we listen to someone share their story. How hard is it to listen when we are diametrically opposed to what they’re saying?
Someone once told me they seek out people who disagree with them because they learn more about their own beliefs when they’re challenged. They feel there’s nothing less inspiring than listening to someone who completely agrees with them. I thought that was pretty profound. So I tried it. Here’s what I learned:
• Just listening to someone else’s perspective didn’t particularly inspire me. But when I asked questions of why they believe it and how they got to that conclusion, it became impactful. Now I wasn’t just hearing someone spew words, it had a human component to it.
• When you listen, you really get to know someone on a different level. That also makes you more forgiving.
• When I listen intently to someone else’s perspective, I give myself the opportunity to become more connected to them. I open myself to the possibility that I don’t have it all figured out.
A lot of what I do every day is listen to people, to families, as they navigate challenging circumstances. Every time I sit with a family I’m reminded of the validity of perspectives other than mine. Learning how to listen openly has been a blessing in my life. I wish you that same blessing.
