Dear Fellow Pilgrims,

I have no hard research to back this up – no polling data, graphs, or charts – but as I put my ear

to the ground and listen to the chatter, we seem to have stumbled upon two things nearly every-

one agrees on. Think about that. This is no small feat in today’s world. I’m not talking about a

mere sixty or seventy percent agreement, which certainly would be breakthrough in the current

context. I’m talking about darn near universal agreement, as in ninety-five percent or even

higher, on not one, but two, ideas. I think there is a lot of hope in that!

First, we all seem to agree that something needs to change. Our lives are filled with anxiety, our social fabric is being

torn to threads, our economy is strained under the weight of supply chain and labor shortages, we’re fighting over a

global health crisis, the environment is in rapid decline, and our political system is flat-out broken. Something needs to

change. Agreed?

Second, everyone seems in agreement that they, personally, do not need to change. The problem is other people. They

need to change. But I most definitely do not.

You see the problem, right?

When John the Baptist, echoing the prophet Isaiah, tells us to lower the moun-

tains, raise up the valleys, and make straight the pathway of God, he is not talk-

ing about changing everyone else. He’s not talking about changing the laws of

man, social policies, or politicians. He’s not talking about changing Chevy-lovers

into Ford-lovers or convincing vegans to eat bacon. He’s talking about changing

our hearts, changing the way we look at one another, and changing the way we

love. That’s a big deal. A very big deal.

Most notably, Advent is calling us to change the direction in which we live. We’ve been living in what I call backwards

flow, allowing all the stresses, toxins, anxieties, anger, hatred, and conflicts of the world to enter our minds and our

hearts through news-for-profit, opinion, and social media. It’s not good and none of it is from God. Of course, so

much darkness is unsettling. Our stomachs can’t stand the churn, so we regurgitate it back into the world, propelling

more negativity and bleakness into our social stir.

Advent is calling us to reverse the flow, to start from a deep-hearted love of God, love of neighbor, love of all creation,

and propel that joy, that peace, that hope, and that harmony into the world. This is how we prepare the way.

So as we travel this Advent journey, we ask ourselves, what are the inner mountains, valleys, curves, and detours within

me that inhibit the free flow of love through me? These are the mountains we need to make low to make straight the

pathway for God.

Yes, we all agree that something needs to change. And the incarnation we will celebrate in a few short weeks is all about

showing us what that change looks like. Spoiler alert: it looks like love—life-giving love. Are we ready from the bottom

of our hearts to flow some of that into the world?

Journey well and pray always!

Peace, Deacon Steve Meyer

Advent is calling us to change.

Both of these Advent presentations are free of charge. There is no need to RSVP. Presentations will be in the worship area and will be approximately one hour. A light lunch will be offered in the hospitality area before the presentation. Freewill offering.

Professor Robert Kramer from St. Norbert College will be here to explain the origins of

Islam, before discussing some of its central beliefs and teachings. In particular, he will focus on how Islam developed out of Judaism and Christianity, and hence how Islam as a religion regards its fellow monotheists. Given the recent arrival of Afghan Muslim refugees—and the growing number of Muslims in northeast Wisconsin due to normal migration—he will also discuss Islam as a culture including such things as holy days, prayer practices, life-cycle events, dietary preferences, gender roles, ethnic differences, etc. Time will be left to address as many questions as people might have.

Renita Robinson from Prevea Health will share from her personal expe-riences of the realities associated with parenting African American boys in predominantly white environments. This time of sharing will include stories from personal experiences, Wisconsin data related to social de-terminants of health, and information on the school-to-prison pipeline. This interactive presentation will allow for questions and answers.

—-Friday—- December 24

Christmas Eve Masses at

4pm, 7pm, and 9pm

—-Saturday—- December 25 - Christmas Day

Mass at 9am

No need to RSVP for Mass. Sections 1 and 2 of

the worship area are for those who wear masks.

Chairs will also be set up in our hospitality area.

There's a popular miscon-

ception that we're celebrating Jesus' conception by the Virgin Mary, but we're not. Instead, we're celebrating and commemorating the special way in which the Virgin Mary herself was conceived. Her conception was special and unique in another way. To become the mother of the Savior, Mary "was enriched by God with gifts appropriate to such a role," per the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and wholly borne by God's grace.

Keep in mind that Bishop David L. Ricken has repeatedly stated that the dispensation for at-tending Mass is always in place for those facing serious health issues. “If individuals are frail due to illness or age and in their well-formed con-sciences believe that going into public places—including worship at Mass—would place their health in ‘serious jeopardy,’ they, too, are not bound by this obligation. Anyone in those types of situations should adhere to the third com-mandment To Keep Holy the Lord’s Day’ by spending time in prayer, reading the Scriptures and taking part in acts of charity from home.”

of our brother in Christ

BY JEFF KUROWSKI | THE COMPASS

ALLOUEZ — The Offi ce of Voca-tions of the Diocese of Green Bay has a simple request for the faithful throughout the diocese. Pray for more men and women to answer the call.

To help with this request, the Fiat Prayer Society was formed. Members pledge to pray the “Daily Prayer for Vocations” and the “Daily Prayer for Our Priests and Religious,” offer a weekly rosary or holy hour for the men in priestly formation for the diocese, offer holy Communion on the fi rst Sunday of the month for vocations, and offer a share of any sufferings for the intention of more young people to say “yes” to vocations and in support of Bishop David Ricken, priests, deacons, and the religious men and women serving in the diocese.

“The concept is to gather people together to pray, to make it intentional,” said Fr. Mark Mleziva, vocation director. “It’s not so much the vocations, but the ‘yeses.’ The Lord is placing that call within young men’s and young

women’s hearts, but we need our ‘yeses.’ Obviously, who said ‘yes’ to the Lord best was our Blessed Mother;, that’s why we focused on her.”

“Fiat” is the Latin word for Mary’s response to the archan-gel Gabriel at the Annunciation. Similar vocation prayer societies

in other dioceses use different names. Fr. Mleziva noted that when Bishop Ricken was a priest in the Diocese of Pueblo, Colo., the St. John Vianney Society was implemented there for vocations.

FRANKLY,FRANCIS

@PontifexFollow Him On

Dear Brothers and Sisters,

The holy bishop Ignatius of An-tioch used a beautiful expression when he wrote: “There is then one Teacher, who spoke and it was done; while even those things which He did in silence are worthy of the Father. He who possesses the word of Jesus, is truly able to hear even His very silence” (To the Ephesians, 15, 1-2). We can say that the apostle Paul was capable of giving voice to this silence of God. His most original intuitions help us discover the shocking newness contained in the revela-tion of Jesus Christ. He was a true theologian who contemplated the mystery of Christ and transmitted it with his creative intelligence. And he was also capable of exercising his pastoral mission towards a lost and confused com-munity. He did this with different methods: from time to time he used irony, fi rmness, gentleness.

Bishop Ricken challenges diocesan disciples to boldness

SAM LUCERO | THE COMPASS

Fr. Jose Lopez, administrator of SS. Peter and Paul Parish in Green Bay, blesses Arnold and Jessica Silva and their children Stephanie and Nathan, after presenting them with a chalice and a statue of the Blessed Virgin Mary following Mass Oct. 24. Parish families commit to praying together daily for vocations as part of the chalice program.

BY PATRICIA KASTEN | THE COMPASS

ASHWAUBENON — “Trust and be bold.”This was the challenge Bishop David

Ricken gave to some 800 attendees from throughout the diocese at the discipleship seminar, held Oct. 21 at the Resch Center. The seminar’s title was “Gather in Joy. One Body in Christ.”

“We have to believe in miracles. Miracles

happen all the time,” the bishop told the attendees. He also recapped for them the ongoing journey, which the diocese began in 2014, to form missionary disciples who know and follow the Lord Jesus. Despite the chal-lenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the bishop assured everyone that “Jesus appreciates everything you are doing for him. I hope you can internalize that for yourself. Jesus ap-preciates everything you do for him.”

“Discover Jesus, Follow Jesus, Worship Jesus, Share Jesus” have been the four points of the diocesan missionary discipleship process these past seven years. In 2022, the focus turns to “Worshipping Jesus,” Bishop Ricken said, with an emphasis on the Mass, “the presence of God in the Word of God, the presence of God in the Eucharist.”

Our full story appears in the Oct. 29 issue.

THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

Holiday evergreensBY PATRICIA KASTEN | THE COMPASS

1 Christmas evergreens remind us of God’s eternal, unchanging love. Oil

from one evergreen — the balsam — was once used in holy Chrism.

2 Christmas trees began with Martin Luther. Queen Victoria’s husband,

Prince Albert, brought the tradition from his native Coburg, Germany.

3 The poinsettia honors a Mexican tale of a poor girl with no gift for Baby

Jesus. Her bouquet of weeds turned to red Flores de Noche Buena.

4 Holly’s green, thorn-like leaves and red berries reminds us of Christ’s thorny

crown.

5 Mistletoe comes from a Scandinavian tradition among warriors who used it

as a symbol of truce.

5 Celebrating the Solemnity of Christ the KingDear friends and followers of Jesus:

M y brothers and sisters, on Nov. 21, we celebrate the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of the Universe.

That day is the last Sunday of the liturgical year, with the following Sun-day beginning the Season of Advent and a new year in the liturgical calendar.

The Feast of Christ the King is a very important feast day. Traditionally, intercession to Christ the King is called upon during times of great turmoil and upheaval with pleas for his special intervention. Impassioned appeals are made to him during times

like these, begging for his special intervention in the situations of the world, of families, of dioceses, of parishes and especially for civil and governmental leaders.

In the Our Father we pray these words of Jesus: “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.” Jesus has directed us to pray this prayer to the Father and we do so regularly.

So what is God’s Kingdom like?

Scriptural references to the Kingdom of God abound. It is compared to a mustard seed, a pearl of great price and a wedding feast, and each of these images help us better understand a particular aspect of the Kingdom of God. But we must remember that, above all these im-ages, the Kingdom of God is just what it says it is, God’s Kingdom. And that means that God is Sovereign Lord of all of creation, of the universe, of each and every nation.

The good news is that God’s reign is not about ruling with an iron fi st. No, God is the best ruler we could possibly have and, when he returns to earth, he will fully establish his Kingdom of love, respect, peace, joy and full-ness of life.

It is obvious that our nation is under great trial now with the aftereffect of the pandemic, as well as social, economic and political divi-sions that seem to grow each day. Countries with great antipathy to the United States are beating the drums of domination as they fl ex their muscles in many ways. There are even divisions in the church about fundamental moral questions, which are creating stress in the Body of Christ. In the midst of all this upheaval, brothers and sisters, we must remember that Jesus is our King.

As the days become increasingly shorter, many people may be affected by SAD—Seasonal Affec-tive Disorder. Some symptoms may include a decrease in energy, feelings

of anxiety, lessening of interest in activities we enjoy, sleep changes, and weight gain or loss. EveryDay HEALTH suggests this decrease in day-light disrupts our hormones such as serotonin and melatonin, which regulate sleep, moods and feelings of well-being.

Some suggestions from EveryDay HEALTH include the following. 1. Talk to your doctor to rule out a problem other than SAD. 2. “Ready your mind for fall” says Psychologist Kim Burgess PhD, founder of Pediatric Psychology Center in Rockville, Maryland. Dr. Burgess suggests we engage in activities we enjoy. Connect with friends—group chats or outings. Explore a new, fun hobby. Or join a club or engage in community service. 3. Exercise inside or out as weather permits. 4. Let the sunshine in—open blinds and curtains. 5. Take a vacation/or staycation. 6. Keep a journal. 7. Get enough Vitamin D.

And last, but certainly not least, restart your prayer life, especially if it has been on life support lately. Keep it simple, keep it sincere, and remember to give thanks.

A Message Brought to You By Our Health and Wellness Committee

The Supreme Court of Mexico recently le-galized abortion. Parishioner Kate Fix, our 40 Days for Life Team Leader, recom-mends stepping up our prayers and acts of atonement on behalf of the babies and their mothers and fathers. Below are 8 ways to help with the assistance of Our Lady. 1) Pray Our Lady’s Rosary Intercede for the mothers tempted to abort their child and in reparation for abortions committed. If you can pray more, how about praying one for the babies, one for their mothers, fathers, and another for the courage of government leaders to stand for truth? 2) Pray at a local abortion clinic. Green Bay stopped doing abortions, but we pray at the site of Planned Parenthood during their open hours. Offer mothers the local re-sources that are available to them. 3) Make a Eucharistic Holy Hour. Pray es-pecially when the Blessed Sacrament is ex-posed on the altar. Adoring Christ, in imita-tion of Our Lady, releases powerful graces of conversion for those who promote the killing of the unborn. 4) Attend weekday Mass as often as possi-ble. Receiving our Lord (with a clear con-science) gives us the graces to stand up and speak out respectively on behalf of His little ones, without fear. 5) Promote chastity among youth. 6) Pray a Novena to Our Lady of Guada-lupe. Ask Our Lady’s powerful intercession to restore the ‘Right to Life’ for the unborn and to help young people to be chaste. 7) Praise the Lord. Praise Him throughout the day, and thank Him for those He has and will extend his tender mercy to, through your prayers. 8) Fast. Fasting, in Christ’s own words, can move mountains! Consider fasting in some measure, and God will use that for conver-sion of hearts.
