San Pedro Catholic Church December 1st & 2nd, 2018 THE PROMISE OF JUSTICE We are in fairly good company when we ask God for justice.

God s justice is something other than this, of course. God s justice comprises a wonderful rightness between God and humankind.

Israel s kings held the promise of God s fidelity, but it was difficult to see how God s promise could be realized through them.

And so Advent begins with a promise. TODAY S READINGS First Reading-The days are coming when the LORD will fulfill the promise made to Israel and Judah (Jer 33:14-16).

Gospel-Stand erect and raise your heads; your redemption is at hand (Luke 21:25-28, 34-36).

3 San Pedro Catholic Church December 1st & 2nd, 2018 THE PROMISE OF JUSTICE We are in fairly good company when we ask God for justice. Often enough we hear and agree with the lament of the people of Israel asking God why the wicked prosper. However, when we call out for justice, we usually want someone to get his or her comeuppance. God s justice is something other than this, of course. God s justice comprises a wonderful rightness between God and humankind. Today, Jeremiah looks ahead to a time when a just one will sprout from the shorn-off stump of Jesse of the house and family of David. Life was not fair in Jeremiah s time. Israel s kings held the promise of God s fidelity, but it was difficult to see how God s promise could be realized through them. Nevertheless, Jeremiah lifts his voice and announces that the Promised One will come. Luke s Gospel echoes that announcement, and Paul is filled with sturdy encouragement. And so Advent begins with a promise. TODAY S READINGS First Reading-The days are coming when the LORD will fulfill the promise made to Israel and Judah (Jer 33:14-16). Psalm-To you, O Lord, I lift my soul (Psalm 25). Second Reading- Abound in love for one another and for all (1 Thessalonians 3:12 4:2). Gospel-Stand erect and raise your heads; your redemption is at hand (Luke 21:25-28, 34-36). READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Is 2:1-5; Ps 122:1-9; Mt 8:5-11 Tuesday: Is 11:1-10; Ps 72:1-2, 7-8, 12-13, 17; Lk 10:21-24 Wednesday: Is 25:6-10a; Ps 23:1-6; Mt 15:29-37 Thursday: Is 26:1-6; Ps 118:1, 8-9, 19-21, 25-27a; Mt 7:21, Friday: Is 29:17-24; Ps 27:1, 4, 13-14; Mt 9:27-31 Saturday: Gn 3:9-15, 20; Ps 98:1-4; Eph 1:3-6, 11-12; Lk 1:26-38 Sunday:Bar 5:1-9; Ps 126:1-6; Phil 1:4-6, 8-11; Lk 3:1-6 Saints And Special Observances Sunday: First Sunday of Advent; Hanukkah begins Monday: St. Francis Xavier Tuesday: St. John Damascene Thursday: St. Nicholas Friday: St. Ambrose; First Friday; Pearl Harbor Remembrance Day Saturday: The Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary THE THREE COMINGS OF ADVENT There are three distinct comings of the Lord of which I know: His coming to humankind, His coming into humankind, and His coming against humankind. St. Bernard: Third Sermon for Advent TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Occasionally, someone raises a surprised complaint that while Christmas arrives on Santa s sleigh at the Macy s parade on Thanksgiving Day, the Church doesn t catch on too fast. They may even say that Advent is a new-fangled idea. Not so. To trace its beginnings, we have to go back to the fourth or fifth century in France (then Gaul), when Epiphany was the favored day, next to Easter, for baptism. The old pagan structures of Rome were collapsing then, and many people sought to be baptized. Since adults always prepared for baptism by fasting, folks counted back a few weeks for a kind of retreat. Before too long, bishops were advising everyone to attend church frequently beginning on December 17. Soon, artists were imagining ways of expressing the Advent mystery, and in Italy this gave rise to beautiful mosaics of empty thrones awaiting the arrival of the Lord of all creation. Advent as we know it develops on two separate tracks: the first having to do with our spiritual preparation for celebrating the Christmas feast, and the second having to do with the way this is organized and expressed in the liturgical readings and prayers every day of the season.
