Dear Parishioners,
Who knows exactly when the Christmas Season began to go overboard
with activities, spending and excess? People feel caught and don’t
know how to downsize from what they have created within their own
families, friends and communities.
If we are ever going to examine SIMPLICITY and how to become more
Christ-centered during Advent and Christmas, this might be the year.
The economy presses on us, gas prices, layoffs, second jobs, credit
rush to get things done and speed our way through each moment. We rush to get things done and speed our way through each moment. We
get short with people we love, we cheat ourselves and neglect our own
health and are stressed by small things. We are tired of Christmas
before it even arrives.
Yes, this might be the year to seriously consider the way we prepare in
the weeks before Christmas. In a world that has tossed us up-side-
down amidst the toil and labor of our lives, we need to take the time that
can make a difference in our lives. The message of the Advent Season
is to PREPARE for the coming of our God. By His coming he can instill
in us the faith to cope with the many demons we encounter in our daily
lives. Simplicity can help to focus our attention for the reason for the
season.
(Solemn Blessing for Advent)
“You believe that the Son of God once came to us, you look for Him to
come again. May His coming bring you the light of His holiness and His
blessing bring you freedom. And until He comes again, may God make
you steadfast in faith, joyful in hope and untiring in love all the days of
your life.”
God Loves You
Fr. Joe
