Advent Begins! Blessing of your Home Advent Wreath Leader: In the short days of Advent, we gather around this Wreath, to remind ourselves of the

importance of preparing for our Savior's Birthday, along with preparing ourselves for His presence to live within our heart and Soul. We turn to the Holy Bible and recall the promise made to us by God: Reader: Isaiah, Chapter 9, verses 1-2. All Present: ALMIGHTY GOD, WE PRAISE YOU FOR YOUR SON, JESUS CHRIST, WHOSE COMING WE AWAIT. HE IS EMMANUEL, THE HOPE OF OUR FAMILY AND ALL PEOPLE. HE IS THE WISDOM THAT TEACHES, GUIDES AND FORGIVES US. HE IS THE SAVIOR OF EVERY NATION, RACE AND AGE. (Outstretch your open hand toward Advent Wreath). LORD, ALMIGHTY GOD, LET YOUR BLESSING COME UPON THIS ADVENT WREATH. MAY ITS LIGHT BE A SIGN TO US IN THESE DAYS OF ADVENT OF CHRIST'S PROMISE TO BRING US NEW LIFE, HOPE, PEACE AND JOY. MAY HE COME QUICKLY AND NOT DELAY. MAY HE FIND US PREPARED. WE ASK THIS THROUGH CHRIST OUR LORD. AMEN! Leader designates someone to light the first candle, the one opposite the rose colored one. Celebrate a good Confession Advent Confessions - Many Priests Put all else aside. Meet Jesus Monday DECEMBER 16 - 6:30-8 pm Evening weekday Mass Time - Change during Advent Many evenings in Advent, Fr. Thomas, Fr. Louis and I are called upon to help

Wreath and candles are $10. Candles $5. (Free for those not able to pay.) Stop by the library. Advent: Little Blue Book Great daily readings for Advent. Keep one in your car. FREE for the using.

33 Days of Morning Glory! - Smile, laugh, reflect So far we have heard from 4 great Saints and reflected on their insights on the beauty of the Blessed Virgin

Mary. We are close to finishing the book. Don't give up! Keep reading. We don't want the devil to laugh at us! Keep pondering without worrying about if you fully understand all that is being said. Just today, someone mentioned to me that this is the 3rd time they read the book (in the last 3 years) and it's finally starting to make some beautiful sense! Even if you are far behind in the reading, just keep reading a bit at a time. You may find that you will be finishing the 33 days after the Consecration! That’s OK! Reminder: If you are not doing the reading, I encourage you to be offering a simple "Hail Mary" each day leading to the Consecration next weekend. Marian Consecration - Next Weekend At all Masses next weekend everyone will be invited to take part in a Marian Consecration prayer. You might think about putting a day aside this week (leading up to the Consecration) as a special day to fast, pray or offer an act of Charity.

Looking for Perfect Gift? - For Christmas For your Husband or Wife? Your Kids? This is a gift for ANY Married couple that will last a lifetime. It's a simple gift. You don't have to wrap it. You won't need to return it. It is sure to make them smile. They can take it everywhere they go. It does not require an app to use. A gift they will never forget. It's a gift from the love in your heart. Give the gift of a WORLD WIDE MARRIAGE ENCOUNTER experience at St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Parish on February 8th-9th. Weekend begins at 7:30 am with Mass and ends Sunday at 3:30 pm You will return to the comfort of your own bed to sleep at night. Meals provided. Limited space. Call 422-0803 to reserve a spot on the weekend or call parishioners Rick and Julie Nill at 255-9264 with questions. Cost is $75 (for those able) Funds are available for application fee. When the Holy Spirit knocks, will you answer? Movie on St. Faustina - ONE DAY ONLY Check your cell phone for Regal Theater to see if there are any tickets left. Movie is this Monday evening Dec. 2. Fr. Louis and I hope to be there. Little Flower Holy Hour - This Tuesday evening 7 pm Stop by the "little Cathedral" (next to the BIG Cathedral), downtown Fort Wayne for a Advent Eucharistic Holy Hour. Mass at Women's Care Center - This Wednesday morning 8 am. All invited. Day of Recollection - for all Priests of our Diocese This Tuesday. Keep all Priests in your prayers. Put your Shoe or Sock out! Feast of St. Nick - Dec. 6 A tradition I had growing up, in college, and in recent years is to put a SHOE or clean SOCK outside my bedroom door on the evening of December 5th. During the night leading to December 6, the Feast of St. Nicholas, St. Nicholas travels the world leaving fruit, candy or perhaps a note of love. Try it.

FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT, DECEMBER 1, 2019 † PG 6

“Me Too”

“God had one Son on earth without sin, but never one without suffering.”

- St Augustine of Hippo Whether sinner or saint, there is not a person who has walked this earth who lived without suffering. Even Jesus did not escape the pains of suffering. He didn’t even try to. He did not come to be pain free. He came to free us. He came to be able to whisper two little words to us that I believe are some of the most powerful words in all the universe. “Me too.”

Why are these words so powerful? As fallen humanity, we are separated from God. Married, a priest, single, consecrated, no one is spared from the suffering of loneliness due to this separation. But this isn’t the only way we suffer. This is only where it begins. We all have crosses to bear. We struggle with the loss of those we love, illnesses, physical and mental. We struggle with feeling different, or for some people, truly being different for whatever reason. Our loved ones can cause us pain and sorrow. We suffer from abandonment, rejection, betrayal, humiliation, and the list goes on and on. But these only contribute to our feelings of loneliness which ultimately stems from one of our deepest longings, simply to be understood and loved as we are. While we so desire to be loved and understood, the truth is no one on this earth can ever completely understand us. Only God fully knows our pain and can fill that hole and loneliness deep within our hearts. This is where Jesus slowly whispers into our ears the words we long to hear, “I understand you. Me too.” What do I mean by me too? I mean that while we all can comfort and love one another, sometimes, despite our best efforts, this can leave an even greater hole than before, as we long to be truly understood, but cannot be. How can anyone ever completely understand our pain? Someone who has never experienced depression cannot understand what it feels like to be physically unable to get out of bed in the morning versus just feelings of sadness. Someone without disabilities such as autism cannot understand how difficult it is to participate in Mass when every little noise, cell phones, etc., can set off their auditory sensitivity making Church a place of anxiety. I cannot imagine the pain of losing a child. I can show love and sympathy, but I can’t completely understand or help with the desire to be understood in this pain. I can’t but Jesus can. This is why He whispers the words to us, “Me too.” Jesus didn’t only come to this earth to redeem us, He also came to fulfill us. He came to raise us back to the height of dignity and holiness. He came to bring us closer to God and reunite us with the Trinity. Simply, He came to love us. He came to show us that we are never alone. He came not to avoid suffering, but to suffer with us. He gave us His Mother to also suffer with us. He gave us everything He had so that He could hold us close and whisper the words, “Me too,” truly filling that hole in our hearts to remind us that we are never alone. Jesus experienced loss, humiliation, betrayal, and physical pain. Jesus was doubted and cast out by His family. Jesus was different from those around Him in everyway possible. Jesus was let down by His friends and those He loved most. Jesus experienced the death of His earthly father St. Joseph. Jesus watched those He loved suffer as He watched His Mother at the foot of the cross. Jesus worked and labored, He watched those He loved most walk away from Him and abandon His teaching. He wasn’t understood. Jesus experienced anxiety (without sin) when He sweated blood in the agony in the garden. Jesus gave everything for us. He didn’t fight this suffering. He endured it for our sake. He was willing to become everything that we needed. He came to fill that hole in our hearts we try to avoid. He came so that we would believe Him when He says, “Me too. I understand you. I know you. I love you just as you are.” As fallen humanity, we often feel empty and alone. We experience loneliness and a desire to be understood while knowing we can never be completely understood in this life. We sometimes feel alone, but thanks to Jesus’ suffering, we aren’t. This is why the words “Me Too” are so powerful. They are powerful by what they represent, the love of God for us. We are not alone. We have a God who loves us. And only He can fill that need for love within our souls. When you feel alone, unloved, and misunderstood, go to Jesus. Go to His Mother, Mary. Go to God, because it is only in His love that you can also whisper back to Jesus, “Me too. I feel your pain. I know you. I accept your cross. I love you. Me too.” ~ Trisha Trout
