SUNDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2018 THE SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT THE SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT AWAITING THE SALVATION OF GOD God has commanded that every lofty mountain be made low. Baruch 5:7 The world does not seem big enough to contain the jubilation of the first reading. In the Gospel reading, the Roman empire isn t big enough, either. The great powers of Rome are named and made to stand waiting for the arrival of God s salvation. And we find Paul meditating joyfully on what really matters. According to Baruch, the city of Jerusalem is like a person standing on tiptoe looking for God s salvation, which is coming from the east. Those who were led away on foot, heads down, now come back, a proud people. Why, the very way is smoothed out. The path is lined with fragrant, lush trees. It can t get any better than this, can it? Well, yes, it can. For a voice calls out in the desert. Here is the beginning of the salvation of God. THIS SECOND WEEK OF ADVENT calls us to prepare for the coming of the Lord. This is the time to ask God for His help to make our lives more centered on His teachings. The candle for the Second Sunday of Advent is the Bethlehem Candle or the Candle of Faith. It reminds us of the journey of Joseph and Mary to Bethlehem and helps us to remain faithful that Jesus is coming and to prepare for His birth. You may want to meditate on these verses: "As it is written in the book of the sayings of Isaiah the prophet: A voice of one that cries in the desert: Prepare a way for the Lord, make his paths straight! Let every valley be filled in, every mountain and hill be levelled, winding ways be straightened and rough roads made smooth and all humanity will see the salvation of God." (Luke 3:4-6) ST. CATHARINE S CHILDREN S CHRISTMAS CONCERT & PAGEANT THIS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 9 th, 6:00 PM PARISH CHRISTMAS TREE LIGHTING THIS SUNDAY, DECEMBER 9 th FOLLOWING OUR CHRISTMAS PAGEANT ST. CATHARINE S CHRISTMAS FOOD DRIVE NEXT WEEKEND DECEMBER 15-16 Next weekend, we will be collecting hams, turkeys, and other food items for Christmas Holiday distribution to some of our local families, as well as, those turning to the Catholic Community Services Food Pantry. Supermarket gift cards are also appreciated! If you know of anyone in need of assistance, please speak with Monsignor McAree. Thank you for your kind compassion! TODAY S READINGS First Reading Take off your robe of mourning and misery; put on the splendor of glory from God (Baruch 5:1-9). Psalm The Lord has done great things for us; we are filled with joy (Psalm 126). Second Reading I am confident that the one who began a good work in you will continue to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:4-6, 8-11). Gospel The winding roads shall be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth (Luke 3:1-6).

CHRISTMAS FLOWERS COLLECTION NEXT WEEKEND DECEMBER 15-16 Flowers and greens for our Christmas services are made possible by your generous donations. All registered parishioners will have received special envelopes for Christmas Flower donations. Envelopes may also be found on the Ushers tables in the lobby of the Church. If you would like to donate in honor or memory of a loved one, please write the name of your beloved deceased, insert your offering, and place the envelope in the collection basket at any of our weekend masses.

SUNDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2018 THE SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT TODAY S SPECIAL COLLECTION RETIREMENT FUND FOR RELIGIOUS This annual appeal benefits 31,000 elderly sisters, brothers, and religious order priests women and men who have consecrated their lives to serving God and His Church. Many religious communities struggle to provide for aging members. Most elder religious served for small stipends, leaving a large gap in retirement savings. Rising healthcare costs and decreased income compound the struggle to provide adequate care. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious special collection provides vital funding for medications, nursing care, and more. It also helps religious congregations implement long-range retirement strategies, even as they continue to serve the People of God. In thanksgiving for their faithful service, we ask that you please support the special collection for the Retirement Fund for Religious. THE YEAR OF GRACE GRACE AND THE SACRAMENTS God s grace is pure gift! No need to earn, achieve or merit this grace. Even the word itself means, a gift freely given. God gives us this grace in Baptism. God nourishes this grace in the Holy Eucharist. As earthly food nourishes our body, heavenly food, Holy Communion, feeds our soul. God restores His grace in the Sacrament of Penance. God strengthens this gift of grace in Confirmation. Look at the word through the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, God confirms the grace He lavished upon us at Baptism. God gives us human life at the moment of conception; He pours His own divine life (grace) into our hearts at Baptism; He nourishes it in Holy Communion; He restores it in Penance; and affirms it in Confirmation. And, He invites us to share it with Him forever in Heaven. +ADVENT RECONCILIATION MONDAY+ MONDAY, DECEMBER 17 th, 4-7:00 PM A Priest will be available in the Church from 4-7 PM for anyone who would like to stop by for confession. Advent gives us a wonderful opportunity to remind ourselves that the Sacrament of Penance is the best way to prepare for the Joy of Christmas and celebrating the birth of Our Savior. VIDEO OF OUR 150 th ANNIVERSARY CLOSING MASS & HALL OF MEMORIES Robert Reers, the photographer from Catholic New York, put together a wonderful video of our 150 th Anniversary Closing Mass with Cardinal Dolan and our Hall of Memories Exhibit. Please go to our website, www.saintcatharines.org, and on the Home Page, find Video Files. This wonderful video will be the first video that appears. Enjoy! OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE FEAST DAY DECEMBER 12 th This is the story of the extraordinary encounter between the Queen of Heaven, and typically enough, one of her little ones. On December 9, 1531, just about ten years after the Spaniards had first brought their faith to Mexico, an Indian man named Juan Diego, a recent convert to Christianity, was making his way along the hill of Tepeyac, just outside the city of Tenochtitlan, which would later evolve into Mexico City. He was heading to morning mass when he heard a burst of birdsong and turned to see where it was coming from. What he saw took his breath away, for, standing before him, was a woman closed in celestial light. The Lady announced herself as the Mother of the Most High God, and she had a request for Juan Diego. Would you ask the Bishop to construct a temple here in my honor? Being a simple man, Juan Diego obeyed. He was ushered into the presence of Bishop Juan Zumàrraga, a Franciscan friar and a good man, the builder of the first hospital and university in the Americas, and a protector of the native population. Bishop Zumàrraga listened patiently to Juan Diego s story, but, understandably enough, he asked Juan Diego for a confirming sign from the Heavenly Lady. On December 12, Juan Diego went once again to Tepeyac and found the Virgin there. She invited him to remove his tilma, the simple coarse poncho-like garment he was wearing, and then, with her help, he gathered up a bunch of roses that were, despite the lateness of the year, in full bloom. This, she said, would be a sign for the Bishop. Juan Diego hurried with his bundle to the Bishop s office, but he was made to wait. It was said that overzealous aides of Zumàrraga s tried, without success, to find out what the Indian was carrying in his tilma. Finally, Juan Diego was brought into the Bishop s presence. He opened his cloak and the roses spilled out. Then, to Juan Diego s amazement, the Bishop and his assistants were kneeling, for, on the inside of the tilma was something extraordinary, an image of the woman clothed in light. On the spot, Zumàrraga vowed to build the temple the Lady had asked for, and it still stands near the hill of Tepeyac. (please, continue)

PRAYER SUNDAY, DECEMBER 9, 2018 THE SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT One might be tempted to dismiss this as a charming story from a simpler, more credulous time, but the best contradiction to this kind of skepticism is the tilma itself, which is still displayed in the massive Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City. Careful studies have shown that the tilma is indeed from the Sixteenth Century and woven from cactus fibers. This juxtaposition is itself puzzling, since that kind of garment, under the best of conditions, usually lasts for at most twenty or twenty-five years. And then there is the image, the strange and beautiful image, which has beguiled millions for the past five hundred years. Scientific analysis has revealed that no known pigmentation was involved and that no underdrawing is discernible. Therefore, just how those colors were transferred onto the tilma is mysterious. What no one, even the most stubborn skeptic, can dispute is that within ten years of the apparition to Juan Diego almost the entire Mexican nation nine million people converted to Christianity. The image continues to beguile, fascinate, and beckon. The Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe is the most visited religious site in the Christian world, surpassing Lourdes, the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and St. Peter s itself.
