Thursday, December 17, 2015 at 7:00pm
There will be extra priests available to hear your confession.
Please make plans to spiritually prepare yourself for the
celebration of Christmas.
A story is told of the photographer taking a
picture. He says to the woman, "Smile pretty
for the camera." A moment later, "OK, madam,
you can resume your usual face." Whether you
and I will have a successful Advent these
next four weeks will depend on the attitude
or face we bring to it today. We must stay
awake, as Jesus advises us in this Gospel,
and on top of our game. If affirmative, this
first week in a fresh Liturgical year might
quite literally alter our lives.
Scholars trace the season of Advent back to
the fifth century. It was placed in the Li-
turgical calendar of the Church so that we
might purge out of ourselves all that is
wrong. In a word, we have the opportunity to
remake our own selves anew. And we have the
luxury of four weeks to do the job in. Be-
come then a twenty-eight day wonder.
Fr. Tom Kennedy
Approximately $14K has been donated since the October
