PRAYER OF THE WEEK

Advent Wreath Prayer

Blessed are you, O Lord our God,

King of the Universe.

You sent your Son to be the Light

of the World and to spread His

light of love to all.

As we light the candles of

this wreath, may its growing

brightness remind us of the

approaching nearness of your

Son so that the day of His coming

!"#$%&'$()$*+,*"+,'$"&'$%--,'$

with joy.

We ask this through Christ our

Lord. Amen.

Idea: Light Your Advent Wreath

each night at dinner and say this

prayer before your meal.

INTENTION

OF THE WEEK

When you are in church, please stop by the Prayer Wall in back to pray for a speci"c need, and initial that you’ve done so. You are also invited to "ll out a card asking for prayers.

“The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament is the best time you will spend on earth. Each moment that you spend with Jesus will deepen your union with Him and make your soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful in Heaven, and will help bring about everlasting peace on earth.” — St. Teresa of Calcutta

the signs begin to stand straight they should raise their

heads. “There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the

stars, people will die of fright in anticipation of what is

coming upon the world.”

The message of the Gospel is similar to when we get

caught up in the moment. As young people, we sometimes

forget about the bigger picture and end up missing out on

helping others because of it. God wants us to live a good

and happy life without getting caught up in the moment.

We can do this by being kind to

one another and remembering to

help those in need. We can think

'@%1$!=2'$!=-)<-!'@%1$!$%!&%!

and what Jesus would think of us

through His eyes. When we are

in a tough situation we can ask

ourselves WWJD (What Would

Jesus Do).

This Sunday we begin our new liturgical year with the

First Sunday of Advent. The Universal Norms for the

Liturgy notes, “Advent has a twofold character, for it is

times” is often scary. In the Gospel, Jesus says, “on earth

nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the

sea and the waves. People will die of fright in anticipation

of what is coming upon the world.”

First Sunday of Advent

Yet, despite the frightening

imagery Jesus uses to describe

his followers, “when these signs
