the Parish Office,

9 AM – 4:00 PM.
An explanation of this pious custom is
printed on the envelope packet.

GOSPEL MEDITATION - ENCOURAGE DEEPER
UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE
December 13, 2020
3rd Sunday of Advent
Did you ever stop and realize that there is no earthly gain that
can ever really satisfy us? Think of winning the Lotto. On this
side of the winning ticket, it’s all about the money, the new car,
house, vacations, bank accounts, and infinite pleasures. The
possibility of acquiring all of these earthly securities brings us
back again and again to the purchase of a ticket. Then, one day
we win! Our dreams are fulfilled, and happiness is on the
horizon. Then one day, we wake up and realize that nothing
has really changed, and I am not as satisfied as I thought I was
or would be. I find myself living in my incompleteness and
with my profound sorrow and grief. I did not find joy.
Glimpses of joy are possible but not by material means. They
are brought to us through incredible experiences of connection
that bring us face to face with real and authentic faith, hope,
and love. And, they are glimpses and do not last. The moment
we find ourselves looking back at them, they are gone, and we
find ourselves remembering the moment in memory. To carry
joy within us is to realize that it is not something I create,
manufacture or even acquire. It is not able to be purchased. It
is a gift. My need for joy mirrors my need for eternity, for a
Creator who has a claim on the very essence of who I am and
desires a home within me. As C. S. Lewis discovered, joy is a
surprise that speaks to my very soul and is given as gift by the
God who loves me.
The beauty of Advent is found in discovering the beauty of the
gift of joy. God has visited his people for no other reason than
to show them where and how to find joy! All of our human and
earthly joy experiences are always only glimpses. They never
satisfy us, sustain us or fulfill us. It is only God who is the joy
of my soul. Real, Divine experiences of joy catch us off guard,
make us stop and become aware, bring a feeling of awe and
rightness and have an eternal Otherness about them. Nothing
created by humans can ever come close to this. We probably
will not fully realize the truth of all of this until we actually
meet God face to face in heaven one day. Then, in that sacred
moment when our hearts leap for joy we will understand what
we have been tirelessly searching for all along. Intense
gratitude will most surely follow.

The Pastor's Pen
Dear Friend,
Two hundred years ago, in the early
19th Century, as astonishing as it may
seem, Christmas in Great Britain had become almost
extinct.
The Times newspaper did not mention Christmas
once between 1790 and 1835. Not once!
However, Charles Dickens was instrumental in
reviving Christmas during the Victorian era. He wrote
his book ‘A Christmas Carol’ in 1843 for several
reasons.
Unemployment and famine was widespread. About 1
in 10 people were as poor as you can possibly imagine,
or worse than we can probably imagine.
Dickens wanted to challenge the Government and
society to act with generosity and with compassion,
and so his character Ebenezer Scrooge brings that
challenge into focus.
In our own time, not many people want to be like
Scrooge at the start of the book.
I guess we all hope we can become more like the
joyful, genial, generous Scrooge from the last scenes
of the book or film.
Dickens’ book helped to revive Christmas traditions
of generosity.
The central characters in Dickens book learned the
importance of praying always and not loosing heart.
Father Matthew
As an appreciative Catholic
Community of Faith,
Our Lady of Peace parishioners
pray for our military,
police, fire-fighters,
first-responders, medical services and
all who serve in local, state and

SACRAMENTS�
THE SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM: The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated
at Our Lady of Peace on the 4th Sunday of each month at 1:00 p.m. We ask

faith to contact the parish office to register for the Sacrament prior to
attending the required Baptism Preparation Class, which is held the 2nd
Tuesday of January, April, July and October.
THE SACRAMENT OF MARRIAGE: The bride or groom must be an active-
registered member of Our Lady of Peace in Fords NJ, with weekly Mass
attendance and involvement in the life of the Parish for one year before the
marriage preparation process. Please call the Parish Office for more
information. According to the Common Policy of the five Latin-rite (Roman
Catholic) dioceses of New Jersey, there must be twelve months of marriage
preparation for each couple who desires to be married in the Church. Please
do not make any wedding arrangements (including reception hall) until you
have met with a parish priest and he has approved the wedding date with
you.�
LOS SACRAMENTOS�

celebra en Nuestra Señora de la Paz y cuarto domingo de cada mes a la

sacerdotes para cumplir con los requisitos canónicos antes de poder fijar la
fecha de boda. Una sesión de la Facilitación de la comunicación abierta
entre pareja, comprensión y estudio, el Plan de Dios para la sesión de

�
An Act of Spiritual Communion�
�
My Jesus,�
I believe that you are �
present in the �
Blessed Sacrament.�
I love You above all things,�
And I desire to receive you into my soul.�
Since I cannot at this moment �
receive You sacramentally,�
Come at least spiritually into my heart.�
I embrace You as if You were already there�
And unite myself wholly to You.�
Con!nually give me the grace to make �
a worthy Confession.�

Amen�
