TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Advent calendars appear now in many homes, and newfangled formats
are even available on line. Children have fun opening the doors and win-
dows keyed to the days counting down to Christmas. Behind each door
is a picture related to the Christmas mystery, perhaps a scripture verse or
saying, but more and more these days something totally unconnected to
religious life, like a small toy or a chocolate treat, appears instead. The
Advent calendar is not very old as traditions go. We can trace it back to
German-speaking Christians, both Protestant and Catholic. Lutherans
might have originated the custom by placing chalk marks on doors start-
ing December 1, lighting candles every day, or placing a new religious
picture on the wall each day during Advent. The oldest known hand-
made calendar goes back to 1851, and the first printed ones appeared in
1908 in Germany with Bible verses behind the doors. By far the most
interesting calendar is a building, the town hall (Rathaus) of Gengen-
bach in Germany’s Black Forest. Every year the townspeople invite an
illustrator of children’s books to create twenty-four paintings or motifs
for each of the twenty-four main windows of the building. Every night
the people gather to see a new window opened and illuminated.
Very few commercial Advent calendars pay much attention to the
core values of our liturgical calendar: the pivotal place of Sunday, the
importance of Advent feasts like Saint Lucy and Saint Nicholas, and the
clear shift in tone on December 17 from Advent longing and preparation
toward imminent hope in Christ’s coming. That kind of creativity is left
up to you!
St. Philip Neri Legion of Mary Legion of Mary Mary Queen of All Hearts Praesidium
meets at 6:45pm in St. Philip Neri church basement on Tuesday
evenings. Welcome all adults from all 3 Parishes. We start with
the Rosary, the meetings only last 90 minutes.
Looking for ways to spread your faith, please join us.
GOD HAS A DIFFERENT PLAN
We begin the season of Advent with a heartfelt call for our own
repentance. We remember God’s faithful love for us, and call upon
God to help us to turn back. For “behold, you are angry, and we are
sinful” (Isaiah 64:4). In the first reading and in the psalm, we recall
God’s promises and lament our unfaithfulness and our guilt. We call
upon God’s might and power in order to save us. With Isaiah, we ask
God to “rend the heavens and come down, / with the mountains
quaking before you” (Isaiah 63:19).
Yes, God is faithful to us, because we are the work of God’s
hands. God is the potter, we are the clay. And yet, our concept of
how God will come to save us is rooted in our own expectations of a
warrior God who crushes mountains and thunders into our lives with
great noise and glory. But God has a different plan: the Incarnation.

Marriage Minute
When will it end?
Hurricanes, wild fires, mass shootings, terrorist attacks, and the pros-
pect of nuclear war with North Korea can prompt us to ask the Lord,
“When will it end, or when will you return?”
Advent is very short this year, and it is intended to remind us that the
Lord can come when we least expect it. Even if Christ does not re-
turn soon, our life could end sooner than we expect. This Advent,
live your marriage with no regrets by telling your spouse:
• What are you most grateful for about your spouse? • What are you
most attracted to? • What can you forgive in your spouse? • What
can you ask for forgiveness?
Consider the gift of a more joyful and intentional marriage for
Christmas by attending the Every Day in Love Date Night on Jan 13.

LIKE A CHILD One who aspires to the grace of God must be pure, with a heart as innocent as a child’s.—St. Nicholas
Advent Wreath An Advent wreath consists of four candles (three purple, signifying
penance, and one rose, signifying joy), surrounded by evergreen
branches. One purple candle is lit the first week, two the second week,
two purple and one rose the third week, and finally all four are lit in
the last week of Advent. The light of the candles signifies the light of
Christ, Who will come into the world at Christmas.
