Due to the early submission of our bulletin, we are unable to post the donations for the weeks of Nov 19 Nov 20, 2016 We will update it on our next issue. Thank you for your generosity! BE PREPARED Be prepared. It's that simple. As this Advent season opens before us, the Lord Jesus summons us to stand ready for his coming. At this time of year much of our attention is focused on being prepared for the details that accompany the holiday season. We purchase gifts; we decorate our homes, inside and out; we prepare foods that we eat only during the holidays; we write and send Christmas cards; we attend holiday concerts; we prepare either to welcome family and friends into our homes or arrange for visits to their homes. We really can't escape the details that make up the season. Perhaps this Advent is a time to attend to all those details with a different spin. As we prepare to celebrate the feast of Christmas, why not be deliberate about acknowledging the presence of the Lord as we go about these tasks? The Lord often comes to us in wonderfully surprising ways. Let us be prepared.

Nov 27, 2016 - Page 4 First Sunday of Advent Advent and Christmas - Reason for the Season Advent (from the Latin word adventus, meaning "coming") is considered to be the beginning of the Church Year for most churches in the Western tradition. It begins on the fourth Sunday before Christmas Day, which is the Sunday nearest November 30, and ends on Christmas Eve (Dec 24). If Christmas Eve is a Sunday, it is counted as the fourth Sunday of Advent, with Christmas Eve proper beginning at sundown. The season is for most Christians one of anticipation and hope (if one looks beyond the commercialisation!), although at its beginnings the emphasis was much more on penitence, fasting and sin. For most Christians it is not just a celebration of a moment in time when a baby was born, but also looks beyond to a time when the Bible tells us that Jesus will come again, not as a weak and vulnerable baby but in power and with authority. The traditional Scripture readings for this time emphasise both the First and Second Coming of Jesus Christ, and our accountability for faithfulness at His coming, judgment on sin and the hope of eternal life. Advent is also a spiritual journey that Christians take, through the truths of Scripture that point to the birth of Messiah, to a reaffirmation that he has come, is present in the world today and will come again in glory. It mirrors the journey of faith that Christians make after that moment of realisation and acceptance of who Jesus is, in that we take that first step of faith in commitment, continue hopefully to walk the road of faith and increasing understanding, and look forward to our destination, which is to be in his presence forever! According to the Catholic encyclopaedia the celebration of Christmas (or the feast of the Nativity of Our Lord) is not known before the end of the fourth century when, according to Duchesne it was celebrated throughout the whole Church - by some on 25 December, by others on 6 January. There are hints of a period of preparation prior to the celebration of Jesus birth in a ruling in 380 that no one should be allowed to absent themselves from church from the 17th December until the feast of Epiphany but it is not until the end of the sixth century that a prescribed period of time was set aside as preparation for Christmas. This was from 11th November, being the feast day of St. Martin of Tours, (the fast became known as "St. Martin's Fast," "St. Martin's Lent" or "the forty days of St. Martin") until Christmas Day. This observance of a period of fasting was later relaxed in Anglican, Lutheran and later the Roman Catholic Church although still kept as a season of penitence by some. Origins As with many Christian festivals, the dates may not accurately reflect the event, but were chosen possibly as an alternate to pagan festivals which they eventually replaced. For example, it's widely accepted that the date of Christmas Day is not thought to be Jesus' actual date of birth, and may have been chosen to coincide with ancient Roman solar festivals that were held on December 25. Because the Roman emperor Aurelian fixed December 25th for the winter solstice holiday in AD 274, it is thought that the early Christians adopted this day for their Christ-mass so that they would be less conspicuous in the observance of their holiday. A winter festival was traditionally the most popular festival of the year in many cultures. Reasons included less agricultural work needing to be done during the winter, as well as people expecting longer days and shorter nights after the winter solstice in the Northern Hemisphere.

CHÚA NHẬT TUẦN 1 MV A Mt 24,37-44 THÁI ĐỘ KHÔN NGOAN: SẴN SÀNG Anh em hãy sẵn sàng, vì chính giờ phút anh em không ngờ, thì Con Người sẽ đến. (Mt 24,44) Nov 27, 2016 - Page 5 COÄNG ÑOAØN THAÙNH GIUSE Suy niệm: Cách đây 15 thế kỷ, các Ki-tô hữu Pháp đã bắt đầu chuẩn bị cho lễ Giáng Sinh từ ngày 11/11, lễ thánh giám mục Mác-ti-nô. Chuẩn bị không phải bằng việc mua sắm, nhưng là ăn chay ba ngày mỗi tuần. Một thế kỷ sau, các Ki-tô hữu tiến thêm một bước nữa: ăn chay hằng ngày từ ngày 11 tháng 11 cho đến lễ Giáng Sinh (theo cha Joe Robinson). Có thể ngày nay ít ai ăn chay trong mùa Vọng, nhưng tâm tình sẵn sàng đón lễ Giáng Sinh, cũng như đón Chúa đến trong cuộc đời mình bằng việc chuyên chăm cầu nguyện, xa tránh tội lỗi, tỉnh thức trước những cám dỗ chè chén say sưa, ham mê việc đời vẫn là thái độ khôn ngoan và đẹp lòng Chúa hơn cả. Sự chuẩn bị chu đáo, chuẩn bị từ xa cho thấy tâm hồn sẵn sàng. Ông bà ta vẫn nói đời đâu học được chữ ngờ! huống hồ giờ Chúa đến. Sẵn sàng không bao giờ là hành vi thừa thãi, nhất là trong bối cảnh xã hội có quá nhiều biến động khôn lường như xã hội hôm nay. Mời Bạn: Thức đêm mới biết đêm dài. Đêm dài làm ta chểnh mảng, buông xuôi, mất cảnh giác, để rồi khi nước đến chân mới nhảy e rằng không kịp. Vì thế, nhờ Lời Chúa đầu mùa Vọng nhắc nhở, ta bắt đầu một năm phụng vụ mới, và chuẩn bị những gì cần thiết để mừng lễ Giáng Sinh. Sống Lời Chúa: Nghiền ngẫm câu lời Chúa: Ngày hôm nay, nghe tiếng Chúa, anh em chớ cứng lòng, nhưng hãy tin (Tv 94). Cầu nguyện: Lạy Chúa, ước chi mùa Vọng này là cơ hội giúp con mở lòng mình ra đón nhận tình yêu cứu độ của Chúa. Amen. TĨNH TÂM MÙA VỌNG Để chuẩn bị tâm hồn đón mừng Chúa Giáng Sinh, Cộng Đoàn Thánh Giuse, Giáo Xứ Saint Barbara sẽ tổ chức 2 buổi tĩnh tâm tại thánh đường vào các ngày Thứ Tư 30 Tháng 11 và Thứ Năm 1 Tháng 12 Năm 2016 6:30PM - 9:00PM Kính mời Cộng Đoàn dân Chúa tới tham dự 2 buổi tĩnh tâm nói trên với chủ đề: BỨƠC VÀO NẺO ĐƯỜNG AN VUI do Cha Cố Đảo (Joseph Vũ, Dòng Ngôi Lời) thuyết giảng.
