Evangelii Gaudium The Joy of the Gospel

Quotes Worth Noting

compiled by Susan Vogt Mary, Mother of Evangelization

“There is a Marian ‘style’ to the Church’s work of

evangelization. Whenever we look to Mary, we come to

believe once again in the revolutionary nature of love

and tenderness. In her we see that humility and

tenderness are not virtues of the weak but of the strong

who need not treat others poorly in order to feel

important themselves...[Mary is] the one who brings a

homely warmth to our pursuit of justice...” §288

“This interplay of justice and tenderness, of

contemplation and concern for others, is what makes the

ecclesial community look to Mary as a model of

evangelization.” §288

“Give us a holy courage to seek new paths,

that the gift of unfading beauty may reach every man

and woman.

Virgin of listening and contemplation, Mother of love, Bride

of the eternal wedding feast,

Pray for the Church, whose pure icon you are,

That she may never be closed in on herself

Or lose her passion for establishing God’s kingdom.” §288

Constitution of the Sacred Liturgy “Sacred song . . . forms a necessary or integral part of the solemn

liturgy” (Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy, 112)

The Council’s teachings about music in the liturgy have been

summarized neatly as a shift from singing at

Mass to singing the Mass. In other words,

music is not an adornment to the rites of the

Church. Rather, music is integral to the

liturgy, inseparable from the liturgy,

especially when what is sung is the liturgy

itself: the dialogues, hymns, prayers, and

acclamations of the Mass. “Sacred music will be the more holy

the more closely it is joined to the liturgical rite” (Constitution

on the Sacred Liturgy, 112). In other words, the most

important singing we do at Mass is not the hymn during the

procession, but the prayers that are part of the liturgy: the

Penitential Act, the Gloria, the Alleluia, the Sanctus, the

Memorial Acclamation, and Amen. This is what it means to

sing the Mass. Singing at Mass is not enough! The 50th Anniversary of the Constitution on the Sacred Liturgy: A Parish Celebration ©

From the desk of Fr. Ken The backbone of our Parochial School System and to a great

degree our Catholic Hospitals and Nursing Homes have been the

men and women religious. They devoted themselves willingly to

instill knowledge and discipline when we were in school and

pastoral care when we were sick or in1rmed. These men and

women now retired need our help.

Next weekend is the annual Retirement Fund for Religious. As

they were generous with their time and talents for us may we be

generous with our “treasure” to them.

ReEection

Geeding

Season of

Silence

We are now a week into

the Advent season. This

is a perfect time to

reQect back to see if this

season has shaped our

work and prayer since

the beginning of

Advent. For whatever

reason, Lent seems to be the time when we are focused

on changing something in our lives. In the same way, let

us use Advent, as a Catholic community, to listen for

Christ in our lives in a new way.

The true season of Advent promotes a silencing of our

hearts so that we can let the voice of Christ in.

Unfortunately, for many of us, it seems as if the start of

Advent means quite the opposite because of a

competing season that coincides with Advent. The kick

o9 day of this other season is called Black Friday. The

themes of this season include impatience, stress, anxiety

and busyness to name a few. We will call this the season

of noise. To paint a visual, Christ holds the purple advent

Qag in his corner while the antichrist holds his black Qag

in the other.

Of course we will be busy at times during this Advent

season, but that does not mean that our hearts need to

be noisy. We can still do many wonderful things during

this season and still Snd peace in all. It all starts with a

practice of prayer called silence. The great thing about

this prayer is that it is as simple as it sounds. The external

silence leads to an internal silence. Think of it as a time

out during the day. For many of us, silence is not silent.

We believe that unless we are talking to God, that it is

not a true prayer. It’s diTcult to listen when we are

talking. God so desires to speak to us in that silence.

If there is one thing that we do di9erently during this

Advent season, let us practice true silence. Find that

sacred time during the day to sit with Christ and listen,

even if it is only for a few minutes. It is in this silence that

we combat the season of noise. “God, I am here now to

listen to you. Help me to be still and silent. Help me to

hear your voice.”

Advent is a great time to: Clean out closets and toy bins, Donate gently used

items to local charities, Buy a Christmas gift for a less

fortunate child, Bring food to your parish pantry, Visit

relatives and/or parishioners in a nursing home, Bake

cookies for a homebound neighbor and/or Volunteer to

help decorate the church for Christmas.

Retirement Fund for Religious

Give thanks for religious. A parishioner writes, “We thank God today and every

day for every religious sister who taught us in school not

only our ABC’s, but also to love God.” Share your grati-

tude for the senior Catholic sisters, brothers, and reli-

gious order priests who made a positive di9erence in so

many lives. Please give generously to next week’s col-

lection for the Retirement Fund for Religious.

St Vincent de Paul

Bible Study Group The St. Mary St. Vincent de Paul Conference

2nd Thursday of the month. A Quick Journey through the Bible

overview of the Bible story. Je9 Cavins takes a chronological

walk through the Bible story in a way that reveals God’s plan

for His Creation; what went wrong at the beginning; and how

God worked through history to reconcile his lost children to

Himself while building His kingdom.

author, a much-in-demand speaker, and renowned bible

scholar. The cost is just $20 for your study materials. To join

us, please contact Mike Linke at [email protected] or

Advent Worship 101 "What exactly does the Immaculate

Conception celebrate?"

The Solemnity of the Immaculate conception celebrates

the saving work of God in preserving the Blessed Virgin

Mary from the stain of original sin. Because of His

foreknowledge that Mary would consent to bear Christ,

God kept Mary free from original sin from the moment of

her conception in the womb of her mother, Saint Anne.

The Immaculate conception falls on Monday, December 8,

2014.

Unlike certain other Holy Days of Obligation, where the

requirement to attend Mass is abrogated when the date of

the feast falls on Saturday or a Monday, the Solemnity of

the Immaculate Conception is so important that the

obligation is not waived.

Do you have questions you want answered? Send your

questions to [email protected] or call the

parish oTce (321-1207). You may even drop them in the

collection basket. We look forward to hearing them.

• Second Sunday of Advent December 7, 2014

Let’s Be Gentle…by Janel Esker

Comfort, give comfort to my people,

says your God. These very

direct words from God and the

phrase that follows, “Speak to the heart

of Jerusalem,” would be enough if they

were the only scriptural words we heard

this weekend. They are straightforward

and carry such weight.

Speaking through Isaiah to the

suffering Hebrew people, God was

promising an end to their suffering—

even though it was not evident yet—

telling them to prepare with joy for

God’s coming. They were to prepare for a

future that was “already but not yet”—it

was present through God’s promise,

but not yet in its fullness. Comfort, give

comfort to my people, says your God.

Speaking to the heart is essential in

giving comfort. My husband and I use a

mantra during the Advent season—“Let’s

be gentle with each other.” The holidays

bring scheduling conflicts, multiple

family commitments, and long to-do

lists. When we’re stressed, we can

wound each other with harsh words,

impatience, and thoughtlessness. As we

prepare for Christ’s birth—an “already,

but not yet” experience—we’d all do well

to remember comforting, gentle words in

our closest relationships. Comfort, give

comfort to my people, says your God.

Jesus inaugurated the kingdom of

God, so it’s already here, but not yet in

its fullness, which will occur with Jesus’

return. Great suffering, brokenness,

and grief remain. The best way to live

in this already-but-not-yet world is by

acting with tender comfort toward all

of God’s children. We never know how

much hurt another is experiencing when

we meet them. We can be the gentle

presence of God—the great Comforter. †

Sunday ReadingsIsaiah 40:1–5, 9–11The prophet calls the people to “prepare the way” for God’s arrival with repentance, proclamation, and justice. The Lord’s presence is marked by power, care, and mercy.

2 Peter 3:8–14The author exhorts the Church to patience, upright behavior, and eager discipleship, pointing to the timelessness of God’s presence and the mystery of the last days and Final Judgment.

Mark 1:1–8

as the messenger proclaimed by Isaiah (and also, perhaps, in Malachi 3), citing his baptismal ministry and message of repentance and penitence.

—Joyful Meditations for Every Day of

Advent and the 12 Days of Christmas,

Rev. Warren J. Savage

and Mary Ann McSweeny


Explore what is reigning in your heart.

This Advent, I hope to declutter our

family’s life a bit, starting with our home.

Every week, we will each give seven

possessions to charity. Getting rid of the

old should prepare room for the new,

and I trust that making space in our

home for the joy of Christmas will teach

us to make space in our hearts for that

joy too.

Plain Talk: Uncommon Courtesiesby Fr. Rick Potts, CSsR

Imagine walking out your front door

without locking it. You get in your

car and find the keys in the ignition.

As you arrive at the store, the car in front

of you passes up the closest parking

space so you can have it.

You get to the register only to realize you

left your wallet at home. The clerk rings

up your items anyway—no charge. As you

leave the store, a passerby holds the door

open for you. And you notice someone put

change in your parking meter.

I often wonder why it’s so difficult

for us to be nice. We’re not even always

nice to the people we profess to love. I’m

not talking about giving away our cars,

emptying our bank accounts, or even

the corporal works of mercy. I’m talking

about the simplest acts: holding open

a door, letting someone in line in front

of us, giving someone the right-of-way

on the road, saying hello to a stranger,

pulling over for a funeral procession,

smiling at someone.

In the confessional, I hear about

sins of impatience and anger more and

more frequently. Too often, we judge

and condemn each other without even

wanting to know all the circumstances.

We assume the absolute worst. Everyone

who boards a plane is a terrorist.

Everyone leaving Sam’s Club is a

shoplifter. Every homeless person is an

addict, every urban male teen a gang

member. We’re afraid our kindness will

be repaid with violence—or at the very

least, a lawsuit.

They used to be called common

courtesies; however, they’re becoming

so uncommon that we may even call

them “random acts of kindness.” These

acts are more than part of our Christian

vocation—they can actually be life-

changing opportunities.

Each of us has the power to affect

another person’s life. To shake us out

of our own little existence, sometimes

all it takes is reaching in and offering a

no-strings-attached act of love.

The Home Church: Prepare Him Roomby Paige Byrne Shortal

There is much I love about

family Christmas traditions,

but sometimes the thought of

Christmas exhausts me! The First Sunday

of Advent debuts the wreath with its four

candles, the Advent calendar, Christmas

books, and Christmas music. On the

feast of Saint Nicholas (December 6), the

children find their stockings filled with

small presents and sweets.

On the Second Sunday of Advent, we

put up the outside lights and the door

wreath. My collection of angels finds a

home on a shelf in the living room. The

Third Sunday is the day we bring in

our tree and bring out our collection of

ornaments. We also prepare our Christmas

cards this week. On the Fourth Sunday,

we bake cookies. Finally, on Christmas

Eve, we all go to midnight Mass.

All this stuff makes me feel grinchy.

The five of us live in just under 1,400

square feet. Christmas brings an

explosion of stuff. The house becomes

cluttered. I always spend the latter part

of the Christmas season purging. Last

December 26, I organized stuff all day

and went to bed cranky and resentful.

I had not enjoyed a single moment.

Preparing for the Lord involves

decluttering not only our homes but

also our minds and hearts. Can’t hear

the Lord? Examine what you’re listening

to. Can’t see the path you believe God

has set out for you? Look deeply at the

path you’re following. Feel empty of God

or unable to pray, to rejoice, to believe?
