Munera: Teach, Govern, and Sanctify Laudetur Isus Christus! Blessed Advent to all! The chill in the air, the smell of baked goods, Christmas lights going up all around us, all of these sights and smells of the season are truly great! I myself love this time of year. Yet, we have to be careful! If we celebrate Christmas every day from now until December 25th we will be sick of Christmas. Advent is a time for us to think seriously about Jesus Christ coming as Judge. At one time in history Advent was six weeks long and a time of strict penance; still practiced by Roman Catholics who follow the Ambrosian Rite. This time period was sometimes referred to as Martin's Lent because the Christmas fast started after the feast of St. Martin, November 11th making the Christmas preparation time 40 days like Lent which leads us to Easter. And so we must use this time properly: daily scripture reading, daily Rosary, daily Mass, the use of an Advent Calendar, Jesse Tree, or Advent Wreath in the h o m e are all good ways in helping us keep proper focus during this time of year so that when Christmas comes we will truly be able to celebrate the Christmas Season which begins on December 25th and not be tired and sick of it all. As a way of helping to prepare for Christmas I will offer the Rorate Mass. By tradition these Masses are prayed while the sun rises in a dark church illumined only by candle light. The symbolism is how Jesus illumines the darkness, brings Truth, and warms our hearts with His charity. Rorate Masses are said in honor of the Blessed Mother. They will be offered on December 3, 4, 5, 7, 10, 11, 12, 14, and 15 at 6:35 A.M. as a Low Mass. Rorate Mass is not offered on the Greater Ferial Days 17-24. In Christ, Rev. Fr. Stephen A. Saffron
