In those days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, up to the day that Noah entered the ark. They did not know until the flood came and carried them all away. So will it be also at the coming of the Son of Man. Two men will be out in the field; one will be taken, and one will be left. Two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one will be left. Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come. Be sure of this: if the master of the house had known the hour of night when the thief was coming, he would have stayed awake and not let his house be broken into. So too, you also must be prepared, for at an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come. (Matthew 24:37-44) It has been said that night is darkest just before daybreak. If this is really true, we do not need to be overly concerned as we await the fullness of day to appear. We already see a glimmering of what is to come in the Light Of Christ. During Advent we reflect on Christ s three comings: first, into human history at Bethlehem; second, into our lives through word, Sacrament, and the power of the Spirit; third, in the glory at the end of time. Jesus message to us is to wake up and stay awake. The day of the Lord is close at hand. 2 Mass Intentions for the Week Monday, 28 November 8:30 AM Avis Miriam Craig Tuesday, 29 November 8:30 AM Ronald Nestor Wednesday, 30 November 8:30 AM Kay Fenton Thursday, 1 December 8:30 AM Angel & Angela Mata Friday, 2 December 8:30 AM 55 and Better Kay Fenton Mary Vanden Dries Saturday, 3 December 8:30 AM Renato & Lydia Te 5:00 PM Carl & Maria Swanson Sunday, 4 December 7:00 AM Darwin Peebles 8:30 AM Pro Populo 10:15 AM Richard & Geraldine Scofield 12:00 PM Thanksgiving 5:00 PM Mary Vanden Dries Pray the Rosary and other prayers led by the Filipino Rosary Group after the 8:30 Mass Monday through Friday.

6 Adult Catholics Growing in Faith Letter from the Deacon The Healing of a Nation Continued from last week A Deeper Responsibility I have come to believe that in this particular presidential election year, while the responsibility to vote in the national election remains a first responsibility for our citizenry, it is not the most important one that we as Americans must perform for our democracy at this pivotal moment in our nation s history. I am convinced that the greatest challenge to our democratic tradition will take place after the election, in the first months of There is a profound sickness of the soul in American political life This sickness tears at the fabric of our nation s unity, undermining the core democratic consensus that is the foundation for our identity as Americans. For us to confront and eradicate this sickness of the soul, it is necessary that there be four substantial conversions within our political life which cannot be merely the work of elites, but an undertaking of the whole citizenry. We must turn from warfare to governance. The long tradition of an American political culture which valued coherent and effective governance has largely been evacuated in recent decades. The war-room mentality of the perpetual campaign is deeply corrosive to our society and to our national well-being.while partisanship will be forever intertwined with the action of governance, a dedication to governance over partisan gain must be restored in the coming months if our nation is to flourish, address its many deep problems and reconstruct a sense of authentic unity. It is certain that some elements of shared governance will emerge in the configuration of Executive and Congressional power that will result from the election of The leadership of both parties must work together on practical issues which can command a majority and move to reform aimed at the common good. The ultimate trajectory of American democracy cannot be toward a partisanship which renders unity impossible and politics which turn the ethic of governance into a quaint anachronism. For this to happen, we must demand governing patterns which do not involve continuing brinkmanship that destroy our unity, our credit, and our global reputation. We must forge anew a bipartisan foreign policy which uses the vast economic and military power of the United States to enhance the international common good. And the social media silos which make partisan animus the center of news coverage must be rejected as the enemies of American democracy and our nation, rather than their servants. We must turn from a culture of grievance to a culture of solidarity. The principle of solidarity, in Catholic social teaching, requires that men and women of our day cultivate a greater awareness that they are debtors of the society of which they have become a part. It is in this fundamental recognition that the most central bonds of cultural and societal union can be born. Pope John Paul II, the major architect of this social doctrine, pointed unceasingly to the reality that all of us as citizens are bound together in God s grace and committee to the good of one s neighbor, with the readiness, in the Gospel sense, to lose one self for the sake of the other rather than exploiting him. Such a conversion within the United States will require deep self-scrutiny and reflection. It will demand a rejection of the tribal element of politics which sees voting as the opportunity to advance the well-being of our race, our class, our religious community at the expense of others.it will entail a purging of the inherent human tendency to allow anger and wedge issues to infect our voting choices. A spiritual conversion to solidarity among voters demands that we reject the increasing habit in our political culture of attributing all differences of opinion to ignorance or malice. And such a spiritual conversion prohibits us from framing political choice in the United States as essentially a competition between two partisan teams, one good and one bad, with all of the visceral enjoyment that such a competition brings. Such a spiritual conversion to solidarity is not alien to the American political tradition. The Founders of the United States called it civic virtue, and they believed that it was absolutely essential for the success of the new experiment in democracy which they were launching.the Founders generally believed that religious belief was one of the few foundations in the hearts of men and women that could produce enduring civic virtue and the self-sacrifice which at times it demands. It was their hope that a culture of civic virtue would lead to a politics of the common good. We must turn from selective outrage to tending the wounds among us. If solidarity is the pathway to unity in our nation, it is equally true that compassion for those who are hurting in every sector of our nation must be combined with care, analysis and action. The reality that young black men fear for their security when facing law enforcement, the sense of dispossession felt by young white men without a college education, the specter of deportation for mothers and fathers and children in the millions, rampant patterns of sexual harassment and assault directed against women, the fear that police face every day trying to protect society-- these are wounds in 6

7 Adult Catholics Growing in Faith Letter from the Deacon, continued our society which tear at our social fabric and constitute immense human suffering that must be addressed. Yet in our overly politicized culture we place these elements of human suffering into different partisan boxes, sympathizing for those suffering if that suffering happens to fall into our partisan box. As disciples of Jesus Christ, we must understand that this spectrum of human suffering in our nation calls upon us all, and calls upon us to act jointly.such suffering is not the basis for social division or political identity, but rather first and foremost a demand for Christlike compassion.the plaintive call of Black Lives Matter and the populist impulse reflected in the support for Donald Trump are both signs of woundedness in our nation.the victims of globalization include both the undocumented and the displaced blue collar workers of the Midwest. The central challenge is whether we can, in solidarity meet our woundedness with care and action which are not filtered through a partisan lens. We must cease destroying the institutions which are necessary for our political life. The corrosive nature of our contemporary politics is accentuated by the overpowering trajectory in American political life which subjects virtually every governmental and private institution in society to partisan scrutiny and judgment. There are governmental institutions in American public life for which it is essential to maintain a deeply non-partisan identity so that our democracy can function well, yet these very institutions are under attack. The Supreme Court has, from the time of the Bork nomination onward, been subjected to an increasingly partisan prism of judgment which has reached a point where leading members of the Senate ponder embracing a strategy of continually rejecting a priori the nominees of even a newly elected president. The F.B.I., which is central to the notion of fairness in the American system of judgment, is beset by conflicting partisan vortices which make it impossible to proceed on highly charged cases in a non-partisan manner. And the scientific and medical agencies of government, which are the envy of the world, are debased by partisan decisions not based upon science but partisan agendas. The sickness in the political soul of our nation will only be healed if society undertakes a massive regeneration of the political ties which unite us as a people and begin to see these ties as more important for us as a society than the partisan divisions which rend us apart. Let us ask our God to bring this most needed of blessings upon this nation which we all love so deeply. TODAY, 7
