St. Mary’s Mission
First Sunday of Advent
“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time will come.” - Mark 13:33 We all take things for granted. In particular, we take time for granted. We make our lives too busy. We plan our
time, our days, weeks, months, even years in advance. Remember, our time on earth is a gift. None of us knows how
long we will be here. Start today and begin thanking God for each and every day. Take time in silence, every day, and
listen to how God is calling you right now to help build His kingdom on earth.
This Advent Season, perhaps you are looking for
a little gift to give to a special someone. Our Parish
still has some of these amazing books on hand,
“...and He took flesh.” ~Fr. Don Braukmann’s
collection of OND articles.
The suggested asking
donation is $15, which will go
for a good cause to Saint
Gianna’s Maternity Home in
Minot, ND. Stop by St. Mary’s office or
text Terrie Lynn 218-386-
2727 for a copy of this book.

Advent is upon us. It is a time when we can step
back and slow down from our
hectic routines and renew our
hope, love, joy, & peace in each of
us. All Religious Education families,
(PreK-12th grade) are invited to
stop by the social hall of the church
to collect their Advent Wreath Kits that have been
prepared for each of you from our St. Mary's Religious
Education Team. They will be available for pick up
beginning Friday after 3 pm. Inside you will find all of
the makings for your family wreath as well as weekly
prayers for the season. Also, there will be a Circle of
Grace curriculum packet along with some extra lessons
in case we don't resume Religious Education classes
until after the New Year. Remember to check in weekly to St. Mary's website
and Facebook page for updates on when Religious
Education classes will resume. Grace and Blessings to
all of you.

Watch for Him: Scott Hahn Reflects on the First Sunday of Advent Readings:
Isaiah 63:16–17, 19 Psalm 80:2–3, 15–16, 18–19 1 Corinthians 1:3–9 Mark 13:33–37
The new Church year begins with a plea for God’s visitation.
“Oh that you would rend the heavens and come down,” the
prophet Isaiah cries in today’s First Reading.
In today’s Psalm, too, we hear the anguished voice of Israel,
imploring God to look down from His heavenly throne—to
save and shepherd His people.
Today’s readings are relatively brief. Their language and
“message” are deceptively simple. But we should take note of the serious mood and penitential aspect of the
Liturgy today—as the people of Israel recognize their sinfulness, their failures to keep God’s covenant, their
inability to save themselves.
And in this Advent season, we should see our own lives in the experience of Israel. As we examine our
consciences, can’t we, too, find that we often harden our hearts, refuse His rule, wander from His ways,
withhold our love from Him?
God is faithful, Paul reminds us in today’s Epistle. He is our Father. He has hearkened to the cry of His
children, coming down from heaven for Israel’s sake and for ours to redeem us from our exile from God, to
restore us to His love.
In Jesus, we have seen the Father (see John 14:8–9). The Father has let His face shine upon us. He is the good shepherd (see John 10:11–15) come to guide us to the heavenly kingdom. No matter how far we have strayed, He will give us new life if we turn to Him, if we call upon His holy name, if we pledge anew never again to withdraw from Him.
As Paul says today, He has given us every spiritual gift—especially the Eucharist and penance—to strengthen
us as we await Christ’s final coming. He will keep us firm to the end—if we let Him.
So, in this season of repentance, we should heed the warning—repeated three times by our Lord in today’s Gospel—to be watchful, for we know not the hour when the Lord of the house will return.
