Did You Know... While in Seattle, Washington in 1909, Mother Cabrini became a citizen of the United States of America. Her missionary travels took her to New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Louisiana, Colorado, California, Washington State, Central and South America and Europe. Mother Cabrini died December 22, 1917 while pre-paring Christmas candy for the children. During her 28 year mission, she was responsible for establish-ing 67 missionary institutions ministering to the sick and poor. She is entombed at the Saint Frances Cabrini Shrine, part of the Mother Cabrini High School in Manhattan, New York. Mother Frances Xavier Cabrini was canonized in Rome in 1946, the first American citizen Saint.

National Collection for Retired Religious Support the Retirement Fund for Religious. A donor writes, “Your flyer touched my heart—seeing the retired religious, such memories surfaced.” Do you remember the sisters, brothers, or religious order priests who made a positive difference in your life? Today many are elderly and need assistance. Their religious communities struggle to meet retirement needs while continuing to serve the People of God. Please give to next week’s second collection. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Advent Wreaths

Traditionally, Advent wreaths are constructed of a circle of evergreen branches into which four candles are inserted, re-presenting the four weeks of Advent. Ideally, three candles are purple and one is rose, but

white candles can also be used. The purple candles in particular symbolize the prayer, pe-nance, and preparatory sacrifices and good works under-taken at this time. The rose candle is lit on the third Sun-day, Gaudete Sunday, when the priest also wears rose vestments at Mass; Gaudete Sunday is the Sunday of rejoi-cing, because the faithful have arrived at the midpoint of Advent, when their preparation is now half over and they are close to Christmas. The progressive lighting of the candles symbolizes the ex-pectation and hope surrounding our Lord’s first coming into the world and the anticipation of his second coming to judge the living and the dead. ©2018 United States Conference of Catholic Bishops ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Coronas de Adviento Tradicionalmente, las coronas de Adviento se construyen con un círculo de ramas verdes en las que se insertan cua-tro velas, que representan las cuatro semanas de Advien-to. Idealmente, tres velas son moradas y una es rosa, pero también se pueden usar velas blancas. Las velas moradas, en particular, simbolizan la oración, la penitencia y los sacrificios preparatorios y los bienes reali-zados en este momento. La vela rosada se enciende el ter-cer domingo, domingo de Gaudete, cuando el sacerdote también usa vestimentas de rosa en la misa; El domingo de Gaudete es el domingo de la alegría, porque los fieles han llegado al punto medio de Adviento, cuando la prepa-ración ya ha pasado la mitad y están cerca de la Navidad. La iluminación progresiva de las velas simboliza la expecta-tiva y la esperanza que rodea la primera venida de nuestro Señor al mundo y la anticipación de su segunda venida para juzgar a los vivos y los muertos.
