3 San Pedro Catholic Church SUMMONED BY GOD As Christmas draws near, Advent s scriptures lure us into a world of dreams, signs, wonders, and the miracle of the virgin birth. Too often we allow the great stories of our faith, the ones that are most familiar, simply to wash over us. Today s Gospel account of the events leading up to the birth of the Lord reads like a present-day soap opera. Yet Joseph s courage, even in the midst of what must have been an incredibly confusing time, provides a model for us. Each week, we are summoned by God to embrace the way of goodness and truth through the proclamation of God s holy word. Like Joseph, we are called to do as the Lord commands us. As we stand at the threshold of Christmas, let us have the courage to be open to whatever it is that the Lord will require of us as we celebrate the miracle of Bethlehem. TODAY S READINGS First Reading Isaiah 35:1-6a, 10. Psalm 146. Second Reading James 5:7-10. Gospel Matthew 12:2-11. December 17th & 18th, 2016 Fourth Sunday of Advent READINGS FOR THE WEEK...

Charles Dickens TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION By now, the first Christmas carols are heard in the home, but usually not yet in church. What is a carol anyway? Originally, a carol was any kind of communal song sung at a festival such as a harvest. By the thirteenth century or so, carols were associated with household celebrations. Carol comes from the Old French carula, meaning a circular dance. Carols weren t for church, since the language of liturgy was Latin and the carols were in the common language. Their characteristic sound comes from medieval chord patterns, and they often have strong refrains for everyone to sing. Even in the churches of the Reformation, carols didn t make it into church services until the 1870s or so, since there was a preference for psalms. Anglicans resisted popular carols; most of our beloved carols came via the Methodists, an offshoot of the Church of England. The Catholic Church generally didn t admit carols to liturgy either, but we didn t make laws against them. We are told that the beloved carol Silent Night comes from Catholic Austria and a harried parish music director. Joseph Mohr, the priest of St. Nicholas in Oberndorf, had written the words in 1816, but offered them to his music director, Franz Gruber, when the church s organ broke. Mohr asked him to write a melody that could be played on guitar as a prelude to Mass. Gruber finished the tune just hours before midnight Mass in The people were shocked to hear a guitar in church, but were charmed by the sweet lullaby. The church was swept away by a flood in the 1990s and the village later relocated, but the townspeople have set up the Silent Night Memorial Chapel at the site. Today the carol is in print in some three hundred languages. How wonderful that the pipe organ broke on that night!

December 17th & 18th, 2016 San Pedro Helps Ministry THIS WEEKEND! Saturday & Sunday December 17th & 18th After all masses South Side Of Church Your Support Is Appreciated! The Woman s Guild annual Thanksgiving food drive was a great success! Though your generosity we were able to provide food for 38 families who are parishioners or live in the Upper Keys. Along with the bulging baskets, we also provided each family with gift certificates for a minimum of $25 to local grocery stores! Angel Wreath Project Update: The Women s Guild Angel Wreath project was able to provide gifts for almost 276 children in our parish and the Upper Keys. We had never had so many requests from needy families. Your response was overwhelming! Not only were our parishioners and visitors taking children s tags for themselves, but many took multiple tags that were distributed to coworkers and neighbors. A special thanks goes out to those who didn t take tags, but donated cash or brought in boxes full of toys and said give to any of the children in need. For those of us who work on this project, this year was a very moving experience that brought many tears to our eyes and those of the parents that were able to provide Christmas gifts to their children because of YOU!
