Today’s Readings: Isaiah 40:1–5, 9–11; Psalm 85:9–10, 11–12, 13–14 (8); 2 Pe-ter 3:8–14; Mark 1:1–8. The people of John
the Baptist’s day, like people today, would have expected anyprofound religious announcement to come in its proper place:from the rabbi in the synagogue. Instead, an unorthodox preacherappeared in the Judean desert and attracted a crowd. Naturally,people might be suspicious. He didn’t use polite language orworry about disturbing comfort zones. Yet those too distractedby strangeness to pay attention would miss an important mes-sage. How sad to miss the Christ to whom John the Baptist points!
What unlikely prophets live among us? What surpris-ing spirituality have we encountered where we least expectedit? What might we be missing? Especially if we’re comfortable
churchgoers, we need a herald like John to shake up our owninfallibility. It’s sadly easy to enshrine our personal opinions andmistake our preferences for universal ideals. In the spiritual life,some uncertainty, especially regarding our impeccable selves, isuseful.
Create a household “meditation piece” with some ob-jects from today’s Gospel. Arrange on sand or sandpaper a smalldish of honey, a bowl of water, and a sandal. Each time you passor pause there, consider these questions: What surprises hasGod sent me today? Where do they point? What message mightI miss because it makes me uncomfortable?© 2011 Liturgy Training Publications. Written by Kathy Coffey. Permission topublish granted by the Archdiocese of Chicago, on May 13, 2011.

We’re on our way! Please join us to be Debt Free by our Jubilee (50 yearsin 2015)! We have a challenge in front of us but believe that with 100% partici-pation, this goal is attainable. Just think that if 1,000 families pledged $1,000each over four years ($250 per year), this debt would be put behind us and acelebration ahead of us.
We recognize that some may give more, and some, less, but pleaseconsider joining in this endeavor no matter what your participation level.For more info, please pick up a Debt Free brochure at any exit ofthe church, call the Rectory or go onlineto http://wwwhttp://wwwhttp://wwwhttp://wwwhttp://www.stbasils.stbasils.stbasils.stbasils.stbasils.or.or.or.or.org/parish-g/parish-g/parish-g/parish-g/parish-menu/debt-free.

THIS WEEK ATHIS WEEK ATHIS WEEK ATHIS WEEK ATHIS WEEK AT HOMET HOMET HOMET HOMET HOMEMondaMondaMondaMondaMondayyyyy,,,,, December 5 ~ Holida December 5 ~ Holida December 5 ~ Holida December 5 ~ Holida December 5 ~ Holiday Paraly Paraly Paraly Paraly Paralysisysisysisysisysis
Today’s Gospel story of Jesus curing the paralytic invites reflection on all kinds of paralysis. Depression can beespecially challenging during this season. We are constantly pressured to buy and be happy. But what about those whocan’t afford gifts, or those who grieve? We could all reduce spending and simplify. And instead of encouraging mourn-ers to be cheerful, we could simply be present, perhaps over tea or lunch. Today’s Readings: Isaiah 35:1–10; Psalm85:9ab and 10, 11–12, 13–14; Luke 5:17–26.
TuesdaTuesdaTuesdaTuesdaTuesdayyyyy,,,,, December 6 ~ Saint Nic December 6 ~ Saint Nic December 6 ~ Saint Nic December 6 ~ Saint Nic December 6 ~ Saint NicholasholasholasholasholasThe figure of Saint Nicholas, whose optional memorial may be celebrated today, is wreathed in legend, but the
tales indicate a compassionate person, like the shepherd in today’s Gospel. Encourage compassion! Family members cansecretly do good deeds for each other, then leave out their shoes for a treat. Today’s Readings: Isaiah 40:1–11; Psalm96:1–2, 3 and 10ac, 11–12, 13; Matthew 18:12–14.
WWWWWednesdaednesdaednesdaednesdaednesdayyyyy,,,,, December 7 ~ Memorial of December 7 ~ Memorial of December 7 ~ Memorial of December 7 ~ Memorial of December 7 ~ Memorial of Saint Ambr Saint Ambr Saint Ambr Saint Ambr Saint AmbroseoseoseoseoseElected Bishop of Milan by acclamation while still a catechumen, Saint Ambrose greatly influenced the Church
in the fourth century and beyond. He was a friend of Saint Monica, and he baptized her son, Saint Augustine. Hecomposed many beloved hymns, and wrote against the rampant Arian heresy. Even amid those troubles, he likely foundthe yoke of Jesus easy, the burden light. Are you able to rest in the gentleness of Christ that today’s Gospel describes?Why or why not? Today’s Readings: Isaiah 40:25–31; Psalm 103:1–2, 3–4, 8 and 10 (1); Matthew 11:28–30.
TTTTThurhurhurhurhursdasdasdasdasdayyyyy,,,,, December 8 ~ Solemnity of December 8 ~ Solemnity of December 8 ~ Solemnity of December 8 ~ Solemnity of December 8 ~ Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception of the Immaculate Conception of the Immaculate Conception of the Immaculate Conception of the Immaculate Conception of Mar Mar Mar Mar MaryyyyyToday we celebrate Mary’s unique role in human experience, that she “was redeemed from the moment of her
conception” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 491). Later, as an adult, when Mary first heard the angel’s news(recounted in the Gospel according to Luke), she was troubled and afraid. Yet she trusted God, who has always beenfaithful. Place a statue or picture of Mary in your prayer space, and sing a Marian hymn. Today’s Readings: Genesis3:9–15, 20; Psalm 98:1, 2–3ab, 3cd–4 (1); Ephesians 1:3–6, 11–12; Luke 1:26–38.
FridaFridaFridaFridaFridayyyyy,,,,, December 9 ~ Optional Memorial of December 9 ~ Optional Memorial of December 9 ~ Optional Memorial of December 9 ~ Optional Memorial of December 9 ~ Optional Memorial of Saint Juan Die Saint Juan Die Saint Juan Die Saint Juan Die Saint Juan DiegggggoooooThe native Mexican we honor today carried Mary’s request for a chapel to a bishop who didn’t believe him.
Seeing Mary’s image on Diego’s cloak, or tilma, convinced the bishop to build the basilica in Mexico City. MexicanAmerican spirituality appreciates fiesta and music. What role does music play in your spirituality? Try singing someAdvent hymns at home. Today’s Readings: Isaiah 48:17–19; Psalm 1:1–2, 3, 4, and 6; Matthew 11:16–19.
SaturSaturSaturSaturSaturdadadadadayyyyy,,,,, December 10 ~ December 10 ~ December 10 ~ December 10 ~ December 10 ~ Lectio DiLectio DiLectio DiLectio DiLectio DivinavinavinavinavinaAnother ancient prayer tradition is called lectio divina, or “sacred reading.” Last Sunday’s First Reading (Isaiah
40:1–5, 9–11) is particularly conducive for lectio divina prayer. Read the entire passage, then choose one phrase orverse that speaks most clearly. Repeat it slowly several times aloud, pausing in between. Some call this “chewing” thewords—forming the words in your mouth as you listen closely with your heart. For instance: “Comfort, O comfort mypeople, says your God.” Where do you need comfort? Where do you give comfort? How does God comfort you? Today’sReadings: Sirach 48:1–4, 9–11; Psalm 80:2ac and 3b, 15–16, 18–19 (4); Matthew 17:9a, 10–13.© 2011 Liturgy Training Publications. 1-800-933-1800.

Some of the words used in the new translation of theMass may be unfamiliar to some Catholics. The followinglist of definitions may help to increase your understandingof the rich theology that underlies these texts.
(Continued from last week’s bulletin)
MeritMeritMeritMeritMerit: The reward that God promises and gives to thosewho love him and who by his grace perform good works.One cannot earn justification or eternal life; they are thefree gifts of God. Rather our merit is from God throughChrist in the Holy Spirit. The Father freely justifies us inChrist through the indwelling of the Spirit; and Christians,by the same Holy Spirit, are empowered to do good worksof love and justice. In cooperating with the Holy Spirit, thefaithful receive further grace and thus, in Christ, cooper-ate in the work of their salvation.
OblationOblationOblationOblationOblation: A gift or sacrifice offered to God.
OnlOnlOnlOnlOnly-Bey-Bey-Bey-Bey-Begggggotten Sonotten Sonotten Sonotten Sonotten Son: This title “signifies the unique andeternal relationship of Jesus Christ to God his Father: he isthe only Son of the Father (cf. Jn 1:14, 18; 3:16, 18); he isGod himself (cf. Jn 1:1)” (CCC, no. 454). Jesus is the Son ofGod not by adoption but by nature.
PascPascPascPascPaschalhalhalhalhal: Referring to Christ’s work of redemption accom-plished through his Passion, death, Resurrection, and As-cension. Through the Paschal Mystery, Jesus destroyed ourdeath and restored us to life. The Paschal Mystery is cel-ebrated and made present in the Liturgy so that we canobtain the fruit of Jesus’ death and Resurrection, that is, theforgiveness of our sins and the new life of the Holy Spirit.
PatriarchsPatriarchsPatriarchsPatriarchsPatriarchs: Title given to the venerable ancestors or “fa-thers” of the Semitic peoples, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob,who received God’s promise of election.
PrecursorPrecursorPrecursorPrecursorPrecursor: One who comes before as a herald. John theBaptist is the precursor of Jesus.
Provident graceProvident graceProvident graceProvident graceProvident grace: The free and undeserved gift that Godgives us as he protects and governs all creation.
RedemptionRedemptionRedemptionRedemptionRedemption: Jesus Christ is our Savior and Redeemer be-cause he frees us from our sin through his sacrificial deathon the Cross.
TemporalTemporalTemporalTemporalTemporal: What pertains to this world of time and his-tory, as opposed to what pertains to God, such as our newlife in Christ through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit.
VVVVVenerateenerateenerateenerateenerate: To show devotion and respect to holy thingsand people. Catholics venerate relics and saints. Venera-tion must be clearly distinguished from adoration and wor-ship, both of which pertain solely to the Trinity and Jesus asthe Son of God.
