~ Week of November 28, 2021 ~

Dear Friends,

Today we celebrate the first Sunday of Advent, the beginning of the new liturgical year. The annual cycle of celebrations in our faith begins with a renewal. One aspect of the renewal is our longing for God. Created by Him, in love, there is something inside of us that reaches out toward him, a longing to be one with Him who loves us. Celebrating Advent we see that longing in several ways. The first part of the season points toward the “completion” of God’s creation – when His plan for creation reaches perfection. This happens at Jesus’ second coming (which is called the Parousia). When He comes again all will be made new and whole. Evil will be eradicated and there will be a “new heaven and a new earth.” When this happens the dead will rise again and all will share in the one eternal celebration of life, lived in complete love. The second part deals with remembering. We remember Israel’s longing for God to come and redeem them, free them. He did this in an incredible way. He was born among us as a human being – which we celebrate at Christmas. Remembering this longing for God we can be renewed in our love for Him as we continue to follow Him to the Father on this pilgrim journey of life.

I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving on Thursday. Safe journey for out-of-state family members traveling home. Tuesday of this week is Giving Tuesday. A time after Thanksgiving and inspired by the holiday to offer charity. OLG participates in this through iGiveCatholic, a web-site that facilitates charitable giving on this day. Thanks to everyone who has given in the advance stage (at the time of this writing, after two days of the advanced phase we’ve reached 23% of our goal). As mentioned before the funds are going to replace the bell system in the Church. The system is between 20-25 years old and on its last legs. We are trying to get ahead of this for three years ago we were informed by the manufacturer that they will no longer repair these models. Your generosity is greatly appreciated as always. Thank you for your support.

Tomorrow our priests will participate in the annual Day of Sanctification for Priests at Saint Charles Borromeo Seminary with Archbishop Perez. It is a time for prayer and renewal in our priestly service. Your prayers are greatly appreciated as we gather Monday afternoon.

Have a great week.

God bless,
Monsignor Prior
