Get your $35 book of dining and entertainment coupons at the Parish Office or Gift Shop. These make perfect gifts. Did you know that this is a terrific resource for golf coupons? Your purchase helps support our Council of Catholic Women and their many good works.

PRAYER REQUESTS Please pray for the deceased of the parish, especially Jose Terceira.May their souls and all the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Please remember in your Masses and prayers, the sick whose names have been placed before our altar this week. If possible, try to participate in one of our Masses to join fellow worshipers in praying for them.

Church Parking! What a hassle! Now that the Season is upon us, church parking at some of the masses can be challenging. Please read the following:

• Please only park in designated parking spaces, even if you have a handicapped plate or sign.

• If walking is not an issue for you, park away from the church and let those with mobility issues have the closer spaces.

• Please do not park in the Methodist church parking lot. Those spaces are for their members and they asked us to respect their people.

• If you are late, and the lot is full, you can park on the grass along the road. Be sure your car is completely off the road. You can be ticketed if it is not.

• You may also park in the parish office/friary parking lot. There are about 25 spaces over there.

• Come early and you won’t have any of the issues mentioned above!

Thanks for your cooperation. Fr. Mark

Saint Lucie, Patron Saint The annual novena in honor of our parish patroness, Saint Lucie, which begins Monday, December 5th, ends on her feast day, Tuesday, December 13th. Please pray her prayer each day of the novena. A special blessing with her relic will be given at each Mass

celebrated in our church during the days of prayer to her. Saint Lucie is the patron saint of persons with eye ailments.

Saint Lucie Prayer O God, our Creator and Redeemer, mercifully hear our prayers, as we venerate your servant, Saint Lucie, for the light of faith you bestowed upon her. Increase and preserve this same light also in our souls, that we may be able to avoid evil, to do good and abhor nothing so much as the blindness and darkness of evil and sin.

Relying on your goodness, O God, we humbly ask you by the intercession of your servant, Saint Lucie, to give perfect vision to our eyes, that they may serve for your greater honor and glory, for our salvation and that of others, and that we may come to the enjoyment of the unfailing light of the Lamb of God in paradise. Saint Lucie, virgin and martyr, hear our prayers and obtain our petitions. Amen.

CONFESIONES EN TIEMPO DE ADVIENTO

Jueves 15 de Diciembre 9:00 AM y 7:00 PM

Servicio de Penitencia en Comunidad Sábado 17 de Diciembre

2:00 PM a 3:30 PM - Confesiones

El Sacramento de la Penitencia o Confesión es el medio de reconciliación con Dios y con la Iglesia. Durante el servicio de Penitencia en Comunidad nos preparamos juntos para la confesión y para dar las gracias por el perdón recibido. La confesión individual es parte de la Liturgia de la Palabra, que incluye lecturas, homilía, examen de conciencia, así como la petición en común del perdón de nuestros pecados. Al término de la Liturgia de la Palabra, los feligreses tienen la oportunidad de confesarse individualmente y ser absueltos de sus pecados por el sacerdote. Este sigue siendo el medio normal de reconciliación

Pasos para una buena confesión

La Iglesia nos propone cinco pasos a seguir para hacer una buena confesión y aprovechar al máximo las gracias de este maravilloso sacramento. Estos pasos expresan simplemente un camino hacia la conversión, que va desde el análisis de nuestros actos, hasta la acción que demuestra el cambio que se ha realizado en nosotros. 1. Examen de Conciencia: Ponernos ante Dios que nos ama y quiere ayudarnos. Analizar nuestra vida y abrir nuestro corazón sin engaños. Puede ayudarse de una guía para hacerlo bien. 2. Arrepentimiento: Sentir un dolor verdadero por haber pecado porque hemos lastimado al que más nos quiere: Dios. 3. Propósito de no volver a pecar: Si verdaderamente amo, no puedo seguir lastimando al amado. De nada sirve confesarnos si no queremos mejorar. Podemos caer de nuevo por debilidad, pero lo importante es la lucha, no la caída. 4. Decir los pecados al confesor: El Sacerdote es un instrumento de Dios. Dejemos a un lado la “vergüenza” o el “orgullo” y abramos nuestra alma, seguros de que es Dios quien nos escucha. 5. Recibir la absolución y cumplir la penitencia: Es el momento más hermoso, pues recibimos el perdón de Dios. La penitencia es un acto sencillo que representa nuestra reparación por la falta que cometimos.
