FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT                                                                          NOVEMBER 28, 2021
                                          A MESSAGE FROM FR. ANTHONY
Advent: A Season of Preparation
The Season of Advent begins this Sunday. It is a time of spiritual preparation for the
celebration of Christ’s Coming. The surrounding culture has already been marketing
Christmas for some weeks. Christmas displays have been in some stores before
Halloween, and a certain radio station in our city has already been broadcasting
nonstop Christmas music since November 12! This was not always so; in decades
past, there used to be a social understanding of respect for each season and
celebration having its own space and time (more or less). The blurring of Halloween-
Thanksgiving-Christmas into one long commercial event reveals a culture that no
longer understands the need of the human soul for pauses, for quiet reflection and
preparation before beginning a new stage of the journey. Frenzied celebration, without
preparation and engagement of our hearts and minds, only results in feelings of emptiness and loneliness because we hunger for
meaning and purpose in life. We can decide this Advent to be counter-cultural, to give ourselves the time and space we need for
God, for family, for the renewal of our spirit in the peace that we encounter only in Christ.

El tiempo de Adviento comienza este domingo. Es un tiempo de preparación espiritual para la celebración de la Venida de Cristo. La
cultura circundante ya lleva unas semanas promocionando la Navidad. Las decoraciones navideñas han estado en algunas tiendas
antes de Halloween, ¡y una estación de radio en nuestra ciudad ya ha estado transmitiendo música navideña sin parar desde el 12
de noviembre! No siempre fue así; En décadas pasadas, solía haber una comprensión social del respeto por cada temporada y
celebración que tenía su propio espacio y tiempo (más o menos). La confusión de Halloween-Acción de Gracias-Navidad en un largo
evento comercial revela una cultura que ya no comprende la necesidad del alma humana de hacer pausas, de reflexionar
tranquilamente y de prepararse antes de comenzar una nueva etapa del camino. La celebración frenética, sin preparación y
participación de nuestro corazón y nuestra mente, solo resulta en sentimientos de vacío y soledad porque tenemos hambre de
propósito y sentido en la vida. Este Adviento, podemos decidir ser contraculturales, para darnos el tiempo y el espacio que
necesitamos para Dios, para la familia, para la renovación de nuestro espíritu en la paz que encontramos solo en Cristo.

Additional Confession Times
One of the best ways to prepare a clean dwelling place for Christ in our hearts is the Sacrament of Reconciliation (Confession).
Instead of a large gathering for a penance service this Advent, I will offer an additional hour of Confession each week of Advent.
We will still have our normal Confession time on Saturday at 4:00 PM. The additional hour will be on different days each week to
accommodate parishioners with different schedules. Friday, Dec 3 at 9:30 AM; Saturday, Dec 11 at 8:00 AM; Wednesday, Dec 15
at 6:00 PM; Tuesday, Dec 21 at 9:15 AM. There will be no Confession times on Christmas Day.

Una de las mejores formas de preparar una morada limpia para Cristo en nuestro corazón es el Sacramento de la Reconciliación
(Confesión). En lugar de una reunión de muchas personas para un servicio este Adviento, ofreceré una hora adicional de confesión
cada semana de Adviento. Tendremos también nuestra hora normal de confesión el sábado a las 4:00 PM. La hora adicional será en
diferentes días cada semana para acomodar a los feligreses con diferentes agendas. Viernes 3 de diciembre a las 9:30 AM; Sábado
11 de diciembre a las 8:00 AM; Miércoles 15 de diciembre a las 6:00 PM; Martes 21 de diciembre a las 9:15 AM. No habrá horas de
confesión el día de Navidad.

We are a multicultural and diverse Roman Catholic Sacramental Community. In the Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ, we strive to reach out
with open arms and receive all people by our commitment to evangelization, social justice, and active participation in community life.
Through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, we are empowered through prayer and action to heal, to reconcile, and to welcome all people as
our community grows in unity. We pray and work together to make the mission of Jesus a reality in our parish, St. Paul of the Cross.
