4 Prayer after Communion The Concluding Rites Final Blessing and Dismissal Organ Recessional All music printed under OneLicense.net A Memories and Dreams Throughout our lives, we retain the language and habits of our native region and family of origin. Should we return to our home after a long absence, we quickly revert to its familiar speech and practices. Our deep memory is reflected in old stories and words and speech patterns. This familiarity runs like an underground river and accompanies us wherever we go. Not only do we remember, we are incorporated into and made part of a greater memory. In remembering and recollecting, we are in turn gathered up and re-collected. Today we remember Mary, a small figure travelling the country roads to visit Elizabeth. All the great pronouncements and dreams of the prophets point to this time when the Lord s words to Mary would be gathered and fulfilled. The memories of her people are alive in her, and memories of her nourish our own living faith. Today s Readings First Reading From Bethlehem-Ephrathah shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel (Micah 5:1-4a). Psalm Lord, make us turn to you; let us see your face and we shall be saved (Psalm 80). Second Reading We have been consecrated through the offering of the body of Christ once for all (Hebrews 10:5-10). Gospel Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken by the Lord would be fulfilled (Luke 1:39-45). The English translation of the Psalm Responses from Lectionary for Mass 1969, 1981, 1997, International Commission on English in the Liturgy Corporation. All rights reserved. Fourth Sunday of Advent December 23, 2018 Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. Luke 1:42 Treasures From Our Traditions In ancient pagan Rome, these days in mid- December were a time for general slacking off at work and far too much rejoicing. The period of leisure after the harvest and a whole cluster of pagan festivals were a force for the church to reckon with. The Saturnalia, breaking out on December 17, was a time of high living and loose morals. Christians were advised by their bishops to drop out of the mayhem and do some serious fasting. A famous church council at Saragossa in Spain made a season of fasting mandatory from December 17 to December 23, exactly coinciding with the Saturnalia. The bishops at that time were perhaps less concerned with preparing for Christmas than with resisting the kind of loose living going on. Modern times have restored a bit of the Saturnalia spirit to our culture, so that a general period of partying with a vague connection to religion is now upon us. How does a Christian keep balance? The practice of charity by remembering the poor in our giftgiving, of hospitality in finding a place at our holiday tables for the poor and lonely, and of daily prayer in the home and at church are great helps. Although Advent is not a penitential season like Lent, it is a time for making room in our lives for what matters most. James Field, Copyright J. S. Paluch O COME, LONG FORETOLD O come, Desired of nations, Whom priest and prophet long foretold Will break the captive fetters, Redeem the long-lost fold. Dear Savior, haste; come, come to earth, Dispel the night and show your face, And bid us hail the dawn of grace. Simon J. Pellegrin ( ), Tr. by Mary of St. Philip ( )

6 Advent Reconciliation at Immaculate Conception: Sunday, December 23, 1:30-2:30 p.m.; 5-6 p.m. Dear Immaculate Conception Family, On behalf of our parish staff, I would like to wish each and everyone of you a Blessed and Merry Christmas! As we enter this season, let us do it with all the love that we can bring forth as we celebrate the gift of our Messiah, Jesus Christ. In 1964, St. Pope Paul VI made a pilgrimage to the Holy Land, and one of the places he visited was the Basilica of the Annunciation in Nazareth. There he gave an address which he spoke about the theme of today s celebration: Nazareth is a kind of school where we may begin to discover what Christ s life was like and even to understand his Gospel. Here we can observe and ponder the simple appeal of the way God s Son came to be known, profound and full of hidden meaning. And, gradually we may even learn to imitate him. Here we can learn to realize who Christ really is. And here we can sense and take account of the conditions and circumstances that surrounded and affected his life on earth: the places, the tenor of the times, the culture, the language, religious customs, in brief, everything which Jesus used to make himself known to the world. Here everything speaks to us, everything has meaning. Here we can learn the importance of spiritual discipline for all who wish to follow Christ and to live by the teachings of the Gospel. Can anything good come from Nazareth? YES...the MESSIAH! Merry Christmas, V{Ü áàåtá `tááxá December 24, Christmas Eve: 5:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. December 25, Christmas Day: 10:00 a.m. Spanish Mass at 12:30 p.m. `tááxá yéü féäxåç àç Éy `tüç (Holy Day of Obligation) Monday, December 31: 6 p.m. Tuesday, January 1: 9 a.m. NO ADORATION C E C D D C N Y D NOTE: T D R M, D 31.
