NOVEMBER 28, 2021 THE FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT

In three weeks, the Supreme Court will debate abortion. You can just imagine the media circus.

I know many of you will be asking: What can I do?

We’ve just launched a new resource page over at the CatholicVote website. The page has information about the pro-life Mississippi law

at the heart of the upcoming Supreme Court case, and answers to some of the questions CatholicVote members have been asking us.

But this isn’t just an education campaign. Right now, we need prayer.

Join Us in Adoration to End Abortion.

We have fought very hard to rally support around sound constitutional judges for the Supreme Court.

But while the current makeup of justices looks very promising, we know from history that we can’t take anything for granted.

We really do need prayer more than ever before.

So we are calling on Catholics across the country to join to-gether in Eucharistic adoration on the eve of December 1 -- the day when the Supreme Court hears the landmark pro-life case

Dobbs vs. Jackson Women’s Health.

Visit our Adoration to Defeat Abortion page now. https://catholicvote.org/dobbs

WORSHIP & MEDITATION

1st Sunday of Advent

Staying awake can often be a challenge, especially when we are

exhausted. Life’s demands have a way of zapping every last bit of

energy out of us. When we are tired it affects us not only physi-

cally, but psychologically and spiritually as well. All of our senses

are dulled and diminished. We can overlook details, become

disinterested, lethargic and apathetic, and detached. Getting suffi-

cient physical rest only helps so much. We need to be rejuvenat-

ed, refreshed, and reenergized in other ways. If we are psycho-

logically exhausted, we need to understand what is draining our

emotions and taxing our relationships. If we are spiritually tired,

we need to find the necessary “shot in the arm” to put us back in

touch with God. Unfortunately, exhaustion is seldom limited to

just one part of who we are. When we lack energy and zeal it is

usually the case that everything suffers. We not only are affected

physically, but psychologically and spiritually as well. In short,

when we run out of gas the engine stops.

And yet, our Lord’s directive is clear, “Be vigilant at all times.”

Even Jesus knew what “the anxieties of daily life” can do to us.

One day pours into another and time quickly flies by. Any one of

us can take a moment and reflect on how many wonderful, crea-

tive opportunities

we miss because

there is always so

much “stuff” to

do and so little

time to do it.

Usually these are

missed moments

of love, and if we

are missing love encounters we are also missing God. Sleepwalk-

ing through life, we check the boxes next to our list of “must and

have to dos” and justify it all by convincing ourselves that tomor-

row is another day and there’ll be more time. It may surprise us,

but tomorrow is here, and time is running out. While we may

like to believe that we have an “eternity” of time to do all those

things that require the focus, energy, and desire we do not cur-

rently have, we don’t. We’re on a limited ride and time is short.

Jesus is also clear on another point. “That day [will] catch you by surprise like a trap.” If we are going to be judged on love and so

easily justify not having all that much time to do so, then it seems we must shift focus a bit. St. Teresa of Calcutta tells us, “We

desire to be able to welcome Jesus at Christmas-time, not in a cold manger of our heart, but in a heart full of love and humility,

a heart so pure, so immaculate, so warm with love for one an-other.” Getting to this place doesn’t “just happen.” It requires

vigilance and discipline both with a knowledge of what is really of importance and what really needs to be the focus of our ener-

gy and time. Pray, starting now and not tomorrow, that we can stay alert, be strengthened in our faith, and prepared for whatev-

er will come. Don’t miss another opportunity to love.

A Call To Reflect & Respond

First Reading: The prophet Jeremiah speaks of God’s promise to fulfill the covenant made with King

David, four hundred years earlier in 1000 B.C. As we enter into the season of Advent, how might you show your fidelity to God?

Second Reading: Paul’s prayer for the believers in Thessalonica is to abound in love and strength for

one another in preparation for the return of Christ. How do you think communities of faith can support each other during the Advent season?

Gospel: In Jesus teaching the disciples about the coming end times and judgement day, he

warns them not to be too distracted by the stresses and anxieties of daily life. How do you keep focused on your spiritual life amongst the many daily

challenges we face?

SAINT OF THE WEEK

St. John Damascene | Feast Day December 4

St. John Damascene

(676 -749) was the son of the chief of the reve-nue depart-ment in the city of Da-

mascus. Through his

father, he received a

classical and theological education

and attempt-ed to follow in his foot-

steps by serv-ing in a government position. However, the Lord was calling him to a different life, and a few years later he resigned from his position

and went to the Monastery of St. Sabas, where he wrote books and composed hymns

along with his adopted brother, Cosmas. St. John Damascene is best known for his

writings against the iconoclasts, who opposed

the veneration of images; his treatise, Exposi-

tion of the Orthodox Faith, a summary of the

Greek Fathers; and his work as a poet, one of

the two greatest of the Eastern Church. His

devotion to the Blessed Mother and his ser-

mons on her feasts are well known.

WHY DO WE DO THAT?

CATHOLIC LIFE EXPLAINED

Question:

How are the feasts of the baptism of Jesus and the account of the wedding feast of Cana related to the Epiphany cele-bration? Answer:

The Epiphany season focuses on revealing Jesus to the world. Following the Christmas celebration, the liturgical year lays out a series of manifestation points in which Jesus is made publicly known. From its very beginning, the Christian community high-lighted three events in the life of Jesus. These are the Epiphany, the Baptism of the Lord and the wedding feast at Cana. The Epiphany discloses Jesus to the world of the Gentiles, repre-sented by the magi from the East. The accounts of Jesus' baptism reveal his identity and mission, along with exposing him to those to whom he was sent to minister. The miracle of turning water to wine at the wedding feast of Cana, unique to John's Gospel, is the first public sign that Jesus performs, thus manifesting his public identity and his powers. Today in the Roman Church, these are usually celebrated on three successive Sundays: Epiphany, the Baptism of the Lord which is usually the next Sunday, and the wedding feast of Cana, which is proclaimed on the 2nd Sunday of Ordinary Time in lectionary year C. These feasts connect around the concept of epiphany, public

manifestation of Jesus to the world. They help us get to know

more intimately who Jesus is and what he is about. Spend some

time delving more deeply into your understanding of who Jesus is.

Continue to cultivate these "epiphany" moments in your life.

St. Paul tells us that the love we

received from the Lord must

increase and be shared with those

around us that we need to be holy

before God. Are you willing to

teach the Gospel to others and to help prepare them for

the coming of the Lord? If yes, call or email Father

Joshua Johnson at (225) 336-8778, [email protected],

Preparing the Manger

Where do you fall in the “Christmas-songs-in-November” debate — do you like them, tolerate them, or out-right hate them? There’s no theolog-ical problem with Christmas songs in November outside of worship, even if it’s not everyone’s cup of tea. But there is a problem with getting so caught up in the baggage of the season — the trimmings, the gifts, the celebrations, all of which are marvelous in their own way — that you forget to prepare the manger.

Every good Catholic knows that Lent is a penitential season. It’s hard to miss that point — Lent doesn’t even have any fun songs you can groove to on the radio. We are pret-ty good at recognizing that Lent calls us to examine ourselves. To deny ourselves. To give of ourselves. And

most of all, Lent calls us to prepare, as a good steward does, for the re-turn of our master.

It’s harder for us to remember that with Advent, but Advent is just as much of an opportunity for pen-ance, preparation, and reconciliation to God — and just as much reason, too. The very name of the season — “advent” — encourages us to focus on what is coming, not what is al-ready here. Be on guard, the readings tell us today, “so that your hearts are not weighed down with dissipation and drunkenness and the worries of this life, and (the coming of the Lord) catch you unexpectedly, like a trap.”

So let us not forget — our master’s advent is upon us. And let us ask ourselves: how can we prepare the manger?

Stewardship… “Be on guard,” Jesus warns in today’s Gospel, “lest your spirits become

bloated with indulgence.” Let us heed His warning and follow the advice of St. Paul, conducting ourselves in a way pleasing to God,

overflowing with love for one another. See Luke 21:34
