DECEMBER 1, 2019 2 SAINT BERNARD

Advent is the time we spend preparing ourselves for Christ’s coming at the end of time and his birth at Christmas. It is time we make ourselves ready, for we know not the time he will come, and a time in which we ponder the great mystery of the incarnation. We recall the

generations of faithful people who waited for the Messiah, and we recall their faith that God would keep his word. We consider the role of the Blessed Virgin Mary in this time too we are grateful for the young teenage girl who so selflessly gave her assent to help God in his great plan, and we are grateful that she mothered Jesus from before his birth, all the way to the Cross and beyond. In this first week of Advent we

begin our Holy preparation with a reading about Jesus’ return at the end of days. At first glance, it may seem to be a curious reading as we are preparing to celebrate Christ’s first coming. Consider that the theme of Advent is “waiting.” From the earliest books of the Bible faithful people have longed for a savior. They longed for the promised one to finally arrive. Jesus’ life, suffering, death, and Resurrection brought us back to God. Our generation and indeed the generations of the past two thousand years have lived with the knowledge that the promised

Savior has already come to earth. Our waiting, however, has not ended. The wait continues for our generation too, as we wait for the return of our Lord. When Jesus told his disciples that he would return after his Ascension, they waited, expecting that moment to arrive any day. When he did not return in that generation, the next generation thought that surely Jesus would come to them in their lifetime. Every

generation, even those currently living, have members who insist that Jesus must be coming back in the next few years. Scriptures, however, tells us that we do not know the day or the hour that our Lord will return. Nobody knows this information, except God himself. However, this waiting is joyful we do not wait in fear. One of the major themes in this reading is that we should always be ready for Christ’s return. Just as

we don’t need to wait cowering in fear, hiding in basements, we also shouldn’t forget that our Lord is coming again, and while we are happy and excited for his return, we shouldn’t neglect being ready for it. It is our job to be ready to meet or Lord at any time. Scripture uses the analogy of a thief coming in the night; thieves are successful because they prey on those who do not expect them. If we do not expect Jesus, then we have not prepared ourselves for him. We have not used our wait wisely if we do not ready our souls. We should remain in a ready

state, as we joyfully anticipate the coming of our Lord! During this Advent, concentrate on readying your soul to meet the long awaited Jesus.

DECEMBER 1, 2019 3 SAINT BERNARD

For the first week of Advent, the Advent Candle of Hope has been memorialized In Memory of

Richard R. Cerchione By his Family

If you would like to add to any of our Christmas decorations “In Memory of” or “In honor of” your loved ones, forms are available in the church & Rectory.

Stewardship Thought “Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come." (Matthew 24:42)

People who have had health issues or near-death experiences generally have a greater appreciation for each day be-ing a gift from God. The rest of us usually take for granted that we will be around tomorrow. But when you start to look at each day as a gift, you realize all the little miracles that happen daily and grow in gratitude for all that we have been given. You begin to see God’s active presence in your life.

A leaf has been added to our Tree of Life In Memory of

Susan Finale With Love, Tayla, Jaimie, Stephanie, Gabrielle, Tara, Rosemary & Christina

If you would like to add a leaf to our Tree of Life “In Memory of” or “In honor of” your loved ones, forms are available in the church & Rectory.

The GIVING TREE

Some gift donations must be returned by December 8th and others by December 15th.

Among the recipients of the generous gift of our parish community are Hour Children, Mercy First, Catholic Charities, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel (Deacon Mendez),

Sisters of Life, Mercy Home (special adults), Saint Michael/St. Malachy and some neighborhood residents.

Our gifts will brighten the lives of many, ranging from the unborn and their mothers, through children of all ages, and the adults of Mercy Home. If you purchased a gift

ahead of time, please just label the gift with the age and gender so we can sort them easily. Additionally, we always

receive many requests for teens especially from MERCY FIRST and HOUR CHILDREN. Gift cards are always a great idea for that age group! Please remember to bring your gift UNWRAPPED and attach the ornament from the tree to it.

The gifts need to be dropped off in Manhattan.

A SUV or van will most likely be needed. If anyone is interested, please contact the Parish House and leave

your name and number. Thank You!
