Advent is the time to start praying differently. This is the time when the world is meant to fall silent before the mystery of the Incarnation of the Son of God and pray for healing and reform. We ve been through a lot together as a parish family in I was installed as your pastor by Bishop Nelson in April of this year and we immediately faced the Legionnaires crisis which lasted for several months. In the midst of educating the parish on the events surrounding the legionella outbreak and attempting to bring folks back to church and heal, the Catholic Church was again thrust into round two of the clergy sexual abuse crisis which began back in The abominable actions of Cardinal Theodore McCarrick, the PA grand jury report, and the Archbishop Vigano letter and the Pope s nonresponse have brought great shame and humiliation to the Catholic Faith we love so much. I am filled with hope because Christ our King is coming to renew us! In the midst of this tumultuous and shameful time in history, God is acting in new ways. Never forget that God takes on human flesh and blood through the messy and difficult lives of a human family, Mary and Joseph, and the world is changed forever. Luke s Gospel reminds us Be vigilant at all times and pray. As your pastor, it is my responsibility to lead you to Jesus and I trust that Jesus will inspire you to lead our Church to new beginnings. Jesus will heal and reform the Church in extraordinarily new ways, just stop, listen and wait. Night Prayer and Adoration is the first step to healing. Advent Night Prayer and Adoration Beginning this Sunday, December 2nd, at 9:00 p.m. in church, I invite everyone to spend just 20 minutes with me praying Night Prayer before Jesus in the Exposed Blessed Sacrament. I will continue praying Night Prayer at 9:00 p.m. on the three remaining Sundays of Advent (December 9th, December 16th, and December 23rd) leading up to Christmas. No experience or materials required. God transforms hearts one person at a time through an encounter with our Eucharistic Lord. If you want to understand who you are and what you are made for, spend time with me in prayer before the Blessed Sacrament. Jesus will tell you who you are, what you are made for and our world will start to change one person at a time. Never forget, the Lord is with us always!

As we pray daily, let us remember that the season of Advent is a season of love beginning with God's love for us. In this way the love of God was revealed to us: God sent his only Son into the world so that we might have life through him. 1 John 4:9 3

FATHER JAMIE S HEALING HUMOR Religion teacher, How many Sacraments are there, children? All agreed there were seven except little Sue, who shook her head No. Teacher, Well, Sue, what s wrong? Sue, There ain t any more sacraments. My aunt received the last sacraments two days ago. (from JOKES PRIESTS CAN TELL, VOL. 1, by Msgr. Arthur Tonne, 1983) There sure are sacraments today and every day. We Catholics believe that Jesus gave us the sacraments as living signs that make God s abiding and saving love real and present to us. The Advent Season celebrates Jesus as Emmanuel, God-with-us, as He came in the flesh over two thousand years ago; as He comes to us in word, sacrament and church today; and as He will come to us as Lord at the end of time.

7 FAITH EVENTS MEN OF MERCY Did you know there is a Men s group in our Parish who feeds the hungry, shelters the homeless, buries the dead and performs other Corporal Works of Mercy? The Men of Mercy have donated thousands of dollars to needy individuals and families in our area. Here are just a few of the causes that we have supported thus far: o Paid the airfare for a young girl to attend her close friend s mother s funeral here in Cleveland. Both of these young girls lost their mothers in a 2-month period, and Sara, wanting to be there for support, couldn t afford the airfare from New York. o Paid a local resident s security deposit for her new apartment. She is a single mom, recently diagnosed with stomach cancer, and is raising a handicapped son. o Donated $ to a fundraiser for a 5-year old Parma Heights girl diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumor. Comprised of over 50 local area men, we meet right here at Saint Columbkille.

10 AROUND TOWN PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! BE CAREFUL IN OUR PARKING LOT With the lack of sunlight in the mornings and evenings, along with poor driving habits of people using our parking lot at those times, conditions are much more hazardous than necessary. It has been reported there are many cars being operated at excessive speeds, as well as a major lack of attention to people walking into or out of the church. When entering the north drive, please follow the traffic pattern by bearing to the right of the parking lot island. The lane to the immediate left of the island is for use by those who are exiting the parking lot via the north drive. The south drive also has a three-way stop, for those turning left or right from the drive, which is routinely ignored. As the winter months approach, and the darkness deepens, PLEASE use extreme caution and reduced speeds. 40 DAYS FOR LIFE THANK-YOU!
