FROM PASTOR: As we enter into Advent and prepare for Christ's return, we do so with new texts for Mass.
Today we begin using the new translation of the Roman Missal. But these new Mass texts are more about
continuity than change, more about Tradition than translation. Let us see these changes as an opportunity to
pray with even greater fervor
The Time is Here:The Revised Translations for the Mass
will start this weekend. Please use the new missals to follow
along for the responses to be used at Mass. The music for
the Mass is in the missal; please lend your voice by singing
along, it is the voice that God gave you. Your best effort to
sing will be pleasing to your heavenly Father.
Adoration next Sunday after Mass in Caney and Moline:
Advent prayer for Adoration. “O Jesus, come into my heart
on Christmas morn, to wash away my sins and remain
therein eternally. O Mary, Mother of my Savior, prepare for
Jesus a cradle in my heart. Amen” Come and Adore Jesus.
Advent: is a time of openness to God’s future. This Advent let us
Gospel Reflection: The Lord Jesus expects us to watch in
great anticipation for the most important event of all-his
return in glory at the end of time. Jesus warns his listeners
to not be caught off guard when that day arrives. We are
not only to watch for Christ, but to watch with Christ. The
Lord wants us to have our hearts and minds fixed on Him
and his Word. He wants us to be ready for his action and
grace in our lives. Those who “wait” for the Lord will not
be disappointed.
Reflection: “How well are you preparing, “spiritually”
for Advent?”
Blessings for Advent Wreath are posted on the web site.
be willing to set aside some time each day to search for God-or
even better become aware that God has found us-and let this
change our lives. In the Advent liturgy there resounds a message
full of hope, which invites us to lift up our gaze to the ultimate
horizon, but at the same time to recognize the signs of God-withus in the present. During Advent the Lord speaks to the heart of his
people and, through them, to the whole of humanity, to proclaim
Knights of Columbus have placed a baby crib in the back of

Stewardship: Recognizing and Receiving God’s Gifts
“Advent is the season of anticipation of the coming of our
Lord. The readings help us to keep in mind that we should be
prepared for Him to come. Isaiah expresses the yearning of the
Israelites for God to again bless them with His presence. They
had turned away in sin but long to return to grace unknown
and therefore we should always be ready. These scripture
passages indicate that each of us has our assigned task and
each should be watchful. May our individual watchfulness
contribute to each other’s readiness.”
Word of Life
“Every child conceived by vitro fertilization is truly deserving
of respect and love. Each is a human person, regardless of the
manner of conception. The problem is that the way they are
brought into the world does not live up to their dignity.” Pope
Benedict XVI
