REMEMBER THE MILITARY IN YOUR PRAYERS

Today is known as Gaudete Sunday. The term Gaudete refers to the first word of the Entrance Antiphon, "Rejoice". Rose vestments are worn to emphasize our joy that Christmas is near, and we also light the rose candle on our Advent wreath.

Casimir T. Maciulewicz Requested by

COME & PRAY Where: OLQH Chapel When: 2nd Tuesday of the month at 7:00 p.m. Who: Anyone What: Divine Mercy Chaplet and Passion of Christ written by Luisa Piccarreta Why: For graces, protection and the conversion of sinners

A SEASON OF HOPE Today we can bask in the imagery that the Mass readings offer us. In particular, Isaiah's vision of a parched land that blooms with abundant flowers holds a message for each of us. Too often we are just like that parched land. We can allow ourselves to become absorbed in the waves of consumerism that grip so many. We look for fulfillment in the things that money can buy. Unfortunately, this leaves us like parched land, thirsting for something that money can't buy. This holy season has much to offer to quench our thirsts. In a word, this season offers hope. We are told that those who are ransomed by God will know joy and gladness. For them, sorrow and mourning will be no more. Let us place our hope in these promises.
