4 Today s solemnity of Christ the King marks the last Sunday of our church year as well as the closing of the Extraordinary Jubilee Year of Mercy. What an incredible journey this Year of Mercy has been! We emphasized and reflected on mercy in homilies; we embraced an Advent program that focused on prayer and compassion; we learned about mercy through FORMED.org, our free online learning center; and 1,700 children and youth in our faith formation programs were taught about God s infinite mercy and how we are called and empowered to practice mercy through spiritual and corporal works of mercy. We didn t just talk and learn about mercy, we also practiced mercy. Parish volunteers adults and young people - shared generously of their time and treasure to serve the poor in our community and beyond. Parishioners contributed $600,000 dollars to outreach efforts to help those in need last year which is the largest amount of money we have ever contributed to the poor in one year. We also expanded our care for those in need in our community and improved the way we care for them. The number of people seeking God s mercy through the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation (confession) increased notably this year. One of this year s highlights for me was when hundreds of parishioners joined me and Fr. Armando in prayer at the Mission Basilica s Door of Mercy, obtaining plenary indulgences. Likewise, it gave me great joy and hope to watch several hundred of our Parish School students walk as pilgrims of mercy to the Mission Basilica where they prayed and then walked to Serra s Pantry where mercy is practiced in service to the poor. I know that many parish groups and families have also made this pilgrimage seeking and celebrating mercy. As this Year of Mercy comes to an end, we pray that mercy has taken deeper root in us so that we may be more effective witnesses and instruments of God s mercy. Next week we begin the season of Advent. As I wrote in last week s bulletin, it will take spiritual discipline to live Advent as a season of preparation for Christmas, instead of four weeks of Christmas commercialism. To help you prepare for Christ s birth, we invite you to Share the Light with prayer and service this Advent. You can learn more about Share the Light on page 9 of today s bulletin and plan to pick up your Share the Light Crown after Mass next weekend, November 27, the first Sunday in Advent. Having prepared well in Advent for the coming of Christ, we will experience the profound joy of Christmas on Christmas day. Fr.
