3 We Remember and Celebrate III. II. Upcoming Weddings at the Cathedral James Finn & Ann Marie Kuhn Christopher Vandenburg & Lindsay Meyer Eternal Rest Grant Unto Them, O Lord Richard Luby Richard Black Donna Moy Let Us Continue to Pray for Peace Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. O, Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to understand; to be loved as to love; For it is in giving that we receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; it is in dying that we are born again to eternal life.

11 Stewardship Be watchful! Be Alert! Watch! This First Sunday of Advent marks the beginning of a new liturgical year. All the readings during this period of waiting and anticipation concentrate on making us aware that it is time for us to awaken our lives as Christians. Jesus opens our Gospel Reading from St. Mark by saying Be watchful! Be alert! and closes it with an intense Watch! For many Advent and Christmas are times of light, whether it is the light of the candles on Advent wreaths or the lights on a tree or the festive lights which decorate many houses and businesses. Jesus brings light into our worlds, but we must allow this light to permeate our own lives, to enter into the dark and sinful parts of our lives to illuminate and cleanse them. This should be a time of renewed prayer and penance which truly prepares us to watch for the Lord, not just at Christmas but throughout our lives. There is a natural wonder among children at this time of year, but sometimes as we age, we lose that sense as if we are sleeping. It is time to awaken. Our minds may say Let go but our spirituality tells us to Awaken. We are filled with spiritual depths. It is time to seek them, find them, and awaken them. It is Advent, time for us to awaken and become aware of the gifts of love we have received from God and others. Or as Jesus reminds us: Watch. Become a Cathedral Sustaining Donor The Cathedral s Sustaining Donors program offers consistent giving to the parish through monthly automatic contributions with a credit card and bank withdrawal.
