Our condolences and sympathy to Terry-Lynn Stevens and Family
for the recent passing of her husband, Rob Stevens. May his soul
and the souls of all the faithful departed rest in peace.
Advent has a twofold nature: It prepares us for Christmas, when
we recall Christ’s first coming among us, and it is also a time when
we look forward to this period coming at the end of the ages.
Advent is a season of joyful expectations. Advent is a time of
expectancy and longing and watchful waiting. It is a time that calls
us to explicitly reflect on the peculiarity of our position: Our Lord
has already come and we wait for him to come again. We as a
church enter a previous period of in between.
Advent: As we approach Advent, “time of waiting for the coming
of Christ”, the Church intends to shift the approach to life, so we
are challenged to make little sacrifices and changes of our usual
and daily ways of life. As we prepare spiritually, Masses are
offered daily followed by Morning Prayers on Mondays and
Tuesdays. Three consecutive Tuesdays at 6 pm, we have DVD
presentation (Journey of Faith, divine revelation, the bible). Three
consecutive Wednesdays at 6 pm, bible prayer sessions based on
the forthcoming Sunday reading are offered. Please be guided
accordingly and keep a copy of the weekly parish bulletin and
Advent calendar.

pm. God, Gods & No Gods: The Religions of Planet Earth with
Dr. Robin Lathangue
Why Compare religions? What value is there in knowing about the
teaching of traditions other than one’s own? Are religions really all
that different, or basically the same – like alternative hiking trails
to the top of the mountains? What are the trigger points, if any, that
make it difficult for them to get along together?
All these questions and more await your curiosity.

Gospel Luke 1.26-38 www.loyolapress.com
The angel Gabriel visits Mary to announce the birth of Jesus.
Gospel Reflection This Sunday we read the story of the angel Gabriel’s
announcement to Mary about the birth of Jesus. This story is found
only in Luke’s Gospel. On this fourth Sunday of Advent, the
liturgy shifts our attention from John the Baptist to Mary, the
mother of Jesus. Both John and Mary serve as important figures for
our reflection during the season of Advent; they both played
instrumental roles in preparing the way for Jesus. Last week we
reflected on John the Baptist’s announcement that the Savior was
among us, although not yet recognized. This week we reflect upon
Mary’s example of faith and obedience to God, traits which
permitted her to receive the angel’s message that God’s Son would
be born as a human person, as one of us. We are familiar with the
story of the Annunciation, and it is fitting that we recall how God
announced the birth of Jesus as we make our final preparations for
our celebration of the Incarnation. The angel Gabriel visited Mary,
a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph. Mary greeted the
angel’s news with awe and wonder and asked how it could be
possible that she could give birth to a child. In his reply, the angel
Gabriel announced the seemingly impossible reality: the child to be
born would be conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and
would be God’s own Son. The angel reported to Mary another
miracle; her relative Elizabeth was also pregnant despite having
been thought to be unable to have a child. Mary’s response to the
angel, which is called her fiat, is an example of complete faith and
obedience to God. The story of the Annunciation calls to our
attention God’s wondrous action in human history. God chose a
human person to give birth to his Son so that all humanity would
know God’s salvation. Mary, already full of God’s grace, was able
to cooperate in this great plan for our salvation. Thus Jesus was
born as one of us, fully human and also fully divine. This is the
mystery we prepare to celebrate at Christmas, the mystery of the
Incarnation. In the model of Mary, we pray that we will be people
of faith who recognize God’s saving plan for us and are able
respond with obedience.
