The First Sunday of Advent November 30, 2014

~ REFLECTION ~

Welcome to Advent, the beginning of

another year in the Church! How quickly time has

flown this autumn! Here we are, starting our

annual preparation for Christmas, even though the

television ads for Christmas began a month ago.

How do we reconcile these two worlds? How can

our Advent spiritual preparation acknowledge and

even benefit from the Christmas frenzy around

us? Maybe it is the alarm bell that we need to

hear, to alert us to the coming of our Lord.

Our readings today continue the ideas

expressed in the readings from the last two

Sundays: we must be ready and watchful. Of

course, what is different today is that we are

beginning a new season of the Church year. But

let us listen to God speaking to us through Isaiah:

“Would that you might meet us doing right, that

we were mindful of you in our ways!” Listen for

what God is asking of you today, as we begin this

new season of watching and waiting.

~ REFLEXION ~

¡Bienvenidos al Adviento, el comienzo de

otro año en la Iglesia! ¡Cómo ha volado el tiempo

este otoño! Aquí estamos, empezando nuestra

preparación anual para la Navidad, aunque los

comerciales navideños en la tele comenzaron ya

hace un mes. ¿Cómo reconciliar estos dos mundos?

¿Cómo puede nuestra preparación espiritual del

Adviento reconocer y aun beneficiarse de la

histeria que nos rodea? Tal vez sea la alarma que

necesitamos escuchar para advertirnos de la venida

del Señor.

Nuestras lecturas de hoy continúan con las

ideas expresadas en las lecturas de los dos

domingos anteriores: debemos estar preparados y

vigilantes. Claro que lo diferente hoy es que

comenzamos un tiempo nuevo en el año de la

Iglesia. Pero escuchemos a Dios que nos habla a

través de Isaías: “Tú sales al encuentro del que

practica alegremente la justicia y no pierde de vista

tus mandamientos”. Escucha lo que pide hoy de ti

Dios ahora que comenzamos este tiempo de

vigilancia y de espera.

Responsorial Psalm :

“Lord, make us turn to you; let us see your face and we shall be saved.”

CHURCH BATHROOM RENOVATION PROJECT

Our physical space here, at St. Brigid, is in need of either renovation or replacement. We have not

consistently addressed these issues in the past. Parish Life is important to each and every parishioner, visitor

and guest. We want our “church home” to be inviting, welcoming, comfortable and attractive. St. Brigid

Church is “ours”, it belongs to each of us, not just the clergy staff. We must take pride in ownership and

work together to be successful in the planning and execution of all projects. Please review the plans for the

bathroom renovation and prayerfully consider what YOU can contribute to the effort.
