       First Reading                    Second Reading                    Gospel Reading
     Isaiah 35:1-6a, 10                  James 5:7-10                     Matthew 11:2-11

                                A Message from Father Don

Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ:

In today’s Gospel, Jesus quotes passages from the book of Isaiah when he wants to
assure John the Baptist that he is truly the Messiah. These passages picture the time
of the Messiah as marked by the same kind of works that Jesus is doing. Jesus heals
the blind, the lame, the deaf, and the lepers. He raises the dead and proclaims the good
news to the poor. These loving and powerful deeds are proof of his identity. Because
John has opened people’s hearts to the Savior’s coming, Jesus says that John is the
greatest of the prophets.

In our culture, we have many kinds of heroes. The people of Jesus’ time were looking
for heroes, too. They asked Jesus, “Are you the real one?” The Gospel lists some
actions of Jesus, the actions of a real-life hero. We, too, can be like John, and as Jesus
said, even greater than John, when we share Jesus’ mission of making God’s Kingdom
come. As we grow closer to Christmas, I ask that together with your family determine
what you can do nurture and help grow in the grace of your Christian life. Discern how
you will prepare the way of the Lord for all those who cross your daily path. Do not
just sit and wait, but rather get ready for Jesus by living the way Jesus taught us to.

We would like to extend a warm welcome to everyone who has joined us for today’s liturgy. We
are so delighted to have you here. To those of you who are visi ng us, thank you for giving us
your me and we hope you will be encouraged to join our parish. We are known as the “Friendly
Parish” and want to include you and your family as part of our faith community. If inclined,
please fill out a new member card located in the Gathering Area or register online at
www.saintrita.com so that we can stay in touch and let you know about our upcoming events.
May God bless you and your family!
