CRAYONS TO COFFEE CUPS

Lord, We Are Waiting. But Yet What Are We Waiting For?

As we fast approach this Advent Season, we are reminded in many ways that we are waiting for the birth

of the Messiah, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, Prince of Peace. Yet, we live in a world

where we are tempted to skip over Advent and jump right into the exhilaration of Christmas Day. After all,

the rest of the United Sates began to push Christmas cookies, Christmas commercials, Santa Claus,

Christmas trees and so on and so on back in October. Oh don’t get me wrong, for I love to make and eat

Christmas cookies (maybe too much), listening to Christmas music, wrapping gifts, decorating the house,

purchasing another Christmas tree that is always too big to get through the front door, exchanging gifts

with family and friends and watching my favorite Christmas movies, “It’s A Wonderful Life” and “A Christ-

mas Story.” All of those help to make magnificent memories and traditions that are passed down from

generation to generation. But, something is lost when we rush through the reflective season of Advent, as

we scurry about decorated shops trying to check off every name on our lists. Because we have heard the

Christmas story in a variety of settings and countless times, our ears and hearts become numb. Do we

hear it with our ears or do we hear it with our heart and soul? Yet, we cannot deny that when we take time

to reflect on the events that led up to the birth of Jesus, a sense of awe returns to our hearts. The perfect

example of this is the formal “Proclamation of the Birth of Christ” which is recited during the Liturgy of the

Hours at the Christmas Eve Mass. The following text, gives us the birth of Jesus within the salvation histo-

ry: begins with the creation of the world, mentions certain key events in the history of the people of Israel

and concludes with the birth of Jesus during the Roman Era. “The Twenty-fifth Day of December, when ag-

es beyond number had run their course from the creation of the world, when God in the beginning created

heaven and earth, and formed man in his own likeness; when century upon century had passed since the

Almighty set his bow in the clouds after the Great Flood, as a sign of covenant and peace; in the twenty-

first century since Abraham, our father in faith, came out of Ur of the Chaldees; in the thirteenth century

since the People of Israel were led by Moses in the Exodus from Egypt; around the thousandth year since

David was anointed King; in the sixty-fifth week of the prophecy of Daniel; in the one hundred and ninety-

fourth Olympiad; in the year seven hundred and fifty-two since the foundation of the City of Rome; in the

forty-second year of the reign of Caesar Octavian Augustus, the whole world being at peace, JESUS

CHRIST, eternal God and Son of the eternal Father, desiring to consecrate the world by his most loving

presence, was conceived by the Holy Spirit, and when nine months had passed since his conception, was

born of the Virgin Mary in Bethlehem of Judah, and was made man: The Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ

according to the flesh.” So again, what are we waiting for? Is it the humble arrival in a manger, that with

it brings joy, hope and anticipation? During this hectic season, we have to remind ourselves to keep our

ears, hearts, minds and souls open to the warmth and love of Jesus. The Advent season helps us to do

this. By keeping a more spiritual focus it helps to alleviate the hustle and bustle of the secular Christmas

season, as well as, an opportunity to mature in our faith in God. I think the Grinch said it best: “It came

without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puz-

zled 'till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn't before. What if Christmas,

he thought, doesn't come from a store? What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more

Dr. Seuss, How the Grinch Stole Christmas! --Sherrie Clutts DRE

Let us prepare, this upcoming Advent Season, for all of us to take the Great Adventure together.

SPECIAL DAYS AND CELEBRATIONS FOR THE MONTH OF NOVEMBER

Month of November: Extension of Certain Plenary Indulgences

In the month of November, the Church has two traditional means of obtaining a plenary indulgence for the

souls in Purgatory. The first is to visit a cemetery and pray for the dead during the Octave of All Saints’ Day

(Nov. 1-8). The second is connected to the Feast of All Souls’ Day (Nov. 2), and can be received by those

who piously visit a church or oratory on that day and recite the Our Father and the Creed. This year, the

Vatican has decreed that these plenary indulgences can be obtained on any day in November to reduce

crowds.

November 22: Solemnity of Christ the King

The Solemnity of Christ the King is a fitting moment in the liturgical year to promote the Church’s teaching

on religious freedom. The USCCB’s Committee for Religious Liberty has prepared materials to help edu-

cate the faithful about this Solemnity

The Solemnity of Christ the King was instituted by Pope Pius XI with the encyclical Quas primas. The Holy

Father speaks directly to the problem of what he referred to as “anti-clericalism,” by which he meant the

attitude of those who were seeking to eliminate Christian influence. We see a version of anti-clericalism

today, for example, when it is suggested that belief in Catholic teachings renders a person unfit for a judi-

cial appointment. When our nation is beset by civic unrest, racial tension, and a pandemic, we do well to

turn to Our Lord, who reigns over every people and nation.

Sunday Missals for 2020-2021

The Sunday Missals have arrived. To

prevent groups of people gathering in

the vestibule, you will be able to obtain

your missal from one of the ushers BE-

FORE and AFTER Mass during the

weekends of November 21st/ 22nd the

28th/29th and December 5th/6th. You

are more than welcome to take as many

as you wish.

Due to the cost of postage, if you are

unable to come to Mass but would still

like to obtain a Sunday Missal, they

will be placed in a tote located in the

breezeway room of the parish office

building.
