God’s Word for this Week
Reading I: Isaiah 7: 1-14 Reading II Romans 1:1-7 Gospel: Matthew 1: 18-24
Open to the Mystery of God.
To be open to the mystery of God, we need to let go of what we
think we know. There is a story of a pilgrim in search of wisdom. This
person goes to the ends of the earth to find a renown guru in the hope of
finding wisdom. The master invites the pilgrim to discuss this over tea.
When the tea was served the master poured his visitor a cup. He poured
and he poured and the tea rose to the rim and began to spill over the
table and finally onto the robes of the wealthy man. Finally, the visitor
shouted, “Enough. You are spilling the tea all over. Can’t you see the
cup is full? “The master stopped pouring and smiled at his guest. “You
are like this tea cup, so full that nothing more can be added. Come back
to me when the cup is empty. Come back to me with an empty mind.”
Joseph, ever faithful Joseph, is a model for us to follow. He isn’t
caught up by what he believes or knows concerning what ought to be
done to a woman pregnant outside of marriage. His mind is on God,
Mary, and the expected child. Joseph emptied himself to go beyond the
law and into the mystery of God. This annunciation to Joseph opened
him up to a new experience of the mystery of life and the mystery of
God.
In today’s Eucharist, let us pray to be lit with God’s light as
Joseph was. Let us pray to empty our minds of what we think we know
and let our minds be centred only on what God wants us to know.

WELL DONE!!!
To Maurizio & Cassandra Visentin and Romana Siegel for overseeing the annual GIVING TREE project. Once again the response of the parishioners was very heart warming. There is much deep Christian love in the generosity shown many times during the year by caring parishioners!
The reviews are in! The Advent Into Christmas Concert-Reflection last Sunday was MAGNIFICENT! Thanks to our Principal Musician of Sun. 10am Mass, Matt Kallio for putting together this musical reflection. A very peaceful and joyful reflection to what Advent – Christmas says to us each year. The volunteer choir and musicians brought much beauty to our place of worship. May further events come in the future! Special thanks to Brenda Cavallin (Parish Music Co-ordinator) for her guidance! I estimate about 200 people attended. A total of $367.25 was donated to help offset the debt for our re-shingling of the church roof.
