Know + Love + Serve Advent Prayer Buddy- - the Faith Formation Commission invites everyone to participate in a new initiative for the Advent season. Beginning the first weekend of Advent, Nov. 26 & 27 we invite folks who both want to pray for another parishioner and to be prayed for by someone else to do so by placing your name into the “prayer bowl” that will be set-out. Draw a name out then place your name into the bowl. Daily pray for that person or family all during the season of Advent. You may wish to remain anonymous or reveal that you’ve been praying for the person during the Christmas season. We hope all will participate.

Cycle Year A. Gospel from Matthew 24:37-44
Focus: The Jesus who is born in time and
history is also the Christ who will come in
glory to judge all.
The season of Advent begins today with a call
to perseverance and vigilance, as we prepare,
not just to celebrate the historical event of the
birth of Jesus of Nazareth, but also to
celebrate our central belief that Christ will
come again in glory to judge all humanity. Our readings are chosen
to help us reflect on this great truth and to be prepared for the
coming of Christ.
Liturgy of the Word: Our readings speak to us about eternal life
and the fulfillment of the Kingdom. Isaiah, the Old Testament
prophet of consolation, describes a pilgrimage to the mountain of
the Lord where the faithful will be instructed in his ways. Paul calls
us to wake up and to throw off the works of darkness and put on the
armor of light. Our Gospel echoes this, describing the need to be
prepared for the unexpected coming of Christ in glory. First reading: Isaiah 2:1-5; Second reading: Romans 13:11-14.
