HAPPY ADVENT!

It is hard to believe that this weekend we begin the Season of Advent. Christmas is less than a month away. If you are like me you may be thinking, “where has the year gone?” All around us the world is getting ready for Christmas. The malls are decorated and Santa has arrived as he listens patiently to anxious children. Television and newspapers are full of advertisements. As the song goes, ‘it is the most wonderful time of the year.’ This year, let’s together get ready spiritually for Christmas because despite what the world wants to tell us, Christmas is a religious holiday. We celebrate the birth of Jesus, the Son of God, our Savior. Here are some Advent suggestions for you and your family as you prepare for Christmas: Attend Mass every weekend and if possible, during the week; Go to the Sacrament of Reconciliation / Confession during Advent. (We have Confession every night at St. Lawrence at 6:15 p.m.); do not forget the important Holy Day of the Immaculate Conception on December 8th ; Prayer the Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe from December 4th through the 12th at our 8 a.m. and 7 p.m. Masses; Join our Guadalupe Procession in Lindenwold and celebrate The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe at Mass on December 11th or 12th; Make certain your Christmas decorations at home include a Manger scene with the Holy Family; attend our Parish Taizé Prayer Service on December 14 and the Choir Advent Concert on December 9, at 6:00 p.m.; and, help a needy family with gifts by taking one of the tags off our Advent Giving Trees. I also encourage you to pray the Christmas Novena Prayer every day. It is a prayer my parents taught me when I was young. Cut this prayer out and pray the prayer fifteen (15) times a day until Christmas. This beautiful prayer will help you increase your awareness of the real meaning of Christmas.

CHRISTMAS NOVENA PRAYER

Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at midnight, in Bethlehem, in the piercing cold. In that hour, I beseech Thee, O my God, to hear my prayer and grant my request, [mention your request]. I pray through the merits of Our Savior, Jesus Christ, and of His Blessed Mother. Amen.

Have a Blessed Advent, Father Vince

Feliz Adviento! Es difícil de creer que este fin de semana comenzaremos la temporada de Adviento. La Navidad está a menos de un mes. Si son como yo, pueden estar pensando, "¿A dónde se ha ido el año?" A nuestros alrededores, el mundo se está preparando para la Navidad. Los centros comerciales están decorados y Santa ha llegado mientras escucha pacientemente a los niños ansiosos. La televisión y los periódicos están llenos de anuncios. Como dice la canción, "es la época más maravillosa del año". Este año, nos preparemos espiritualmente para la Navidad porque, a pesar de lo que el mundo quiere decirnos, la Navidad es una festividad religiosa. Celebramos el nacimiento de Jesús, el Hijo de Dios, nuestro Salvador. Aquí hay algunas sugerencias de Adviento para usted y sus familias mientras se prepara para la Navidad: Asistiendo a las misa todos los fines de semana y si es posible, durante la semana; Asistiendo al Sacramento de la Reconciliación / Confesión durante el Adviento. (Tenemos confesión todas las noches en San Lorenzo a las 6:15 p.m.); no olvide lo importante del Día de la Inmaculada Concepción el día 8 de diciembre; Ore la Novena a Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe comenzando del 4 al 12 de diciembre a las 8 a.m. y 7 p.m. durante las Misas; Únase a nuestra Procesión de Guadalupana en Linden-wold y celebre la Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe en la misa el 11 o 12 de diciembre; Asegúrese de que sus decoraciones navideñas en el hogar incluyan una escena del pesebre con la Sagrada Familia; asista a nuestro Servicio de Oración Parish Taizé en diciembre 14 y al Concierto de Coro de Adviento en diciembre 9, a 6:00 p.m.; y, ayude a una familia necesitada con regalos quitando una de las etiquetas de nuestros árboles de Adviento. También te animo a rezar la Novena de Navidad todos los días. Es una oración que mis padres me enseñaron cuando era joven. Corta esta oración y reza la oración quince (15) veces al día hasta Navidad. Esta hermosa oración te ayudará a aumentar tu conciencia del verdadero significado de la Navidad.

ORACIÓN NOVENA DE NAVIDAD Salve, y bendita sea la hora y el momento en que el Hijo de Dios nació de la Virgen María más pura, a medianoche, en Belén, en el frío penetrante. En esa hora, te suplico, oh Dios mío, que escuches mi oración y concedas mi petición, [menciona tu solicitud]. Rezo por los méritos de nuestro Salvador Jesucristo y de su Santísima Madre. Amén. Que Tenga un bendecido advenimiento, Padre Vicente

Substance abuse has risen to near epidemic proportions in our diocese and we know many people are affected by addiction both directly and indirectly. Parents, partners, and children all fall victim to the disease and the problems it creates in its wake. Catholic Charities is committed to trying to alleviate the suffering of both the addicted individual and their family. It is time for us to begin healing and helping those who are suffering from the pain and torment of addiction.

familia. Es hora de que comencemos a sanar y ayudar a quienes sufren el dolor y el tormento de la adicción.
