MASS INTENTIONS, DAILY GOSPEL

WELCOME TO ALL NEW PARISHIONERS AND VISITORS


The world as we know it revolves in circles. Suddenly we witness the end of an era and the birth of a new one. By this we observe the changing of times and seasons. We witness the daily rise and the setting of the sun. Above us, the moon and stars glow illuminating our night. We feel happy gazing up to the high heaven and wander the nature of our skies. We celebrate life and when death comes, we mourn, and mourn painfully. As devastation comes upon us, we feel awful. We mourn disasters but cry all we can. Yet, survivors pick up their brokenness and continue with life. This proves the dynamism of human life and their resilience to forgive the past and look into the future with hope.

The season of advent is precisely about looking at the past and envisioning a future filled with hope. Jesus came into the world to help us appreciate the saving power of God the Father. Listen to what he says in the gospel of Mark says, “Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come.” The end of a circle is a fearful moment, and we need to watch the present assiduously. From the moment of our birth until death, we experience pain, sorrow, disappointment, and brokenness. The words of Jesus add strength to our efforts at rebuilding ourselves into a better future. There is hope because a new beginning is the sign of new ideas and a total departure from the past. Our stories show a bleak past. Yet, we are filled with hope that the future will be different. The picture becomes scarier when we realize that as we are born so shall we die. Jesus gives us hope to expect the best. He says, “Watch, therefore, you do not know when the lord of the house is coming, whether in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning. May he not come suddenly and find you sleeping.” The absurdity of life is to be overwhelmed by a situation which results in our devastation and destruction.

The Lord raised up great prophets with knowledge about the dynamics of our world long before the coming of Jesus. We are blessed to seek this knowledge from the Sacred Scriptures and other sources giving us an understanding of the past. For example, the Prophet Isaiah writes, “Why do you let us wander, O Lord, from our ways, and harden our hearts so that we fear you not?” The words of Isaiah are applicable to our modern behaviors from across the world. Many people are blinded by their achievements or the qualities they possess and so remain deluded about the end. They forget that these things are short-lived. What endures forever is the realization of a new life with God through Jesus Christ. Advent, therefore, is the beginning of a new life that assures our future with God.

First Sunday of Advent: Year A Advent and the Dynamism of Human Life

Rev. Victor C. Yakubu, Parochial Administrator

All those who accept Jesus are destined for a new life with God forever. The present life is a test of our obedience to God and what will come after. This reality does not in any way preclude living in fullness of our potentialities without any fear.

Living the perfect life is dependent on our connection with our creator who opens possibilities for all life. However, reality illustrates how fragile our lives can be. This moment may seem nice and good, the next minute may transform into conflagration. We do not have control over what may come over us, yet we can determine how we want to live and imagine a life free from fear and intimidation. The Prophet Isaiah says, “There is none who calls upon your name, who rouses himself to cling to you; for you have hidden your face from us and have delivered us up to our guilt. Yet, O Lord, you are our father; we are the clay and you the potter: we are all the work of your hands.” Indeed, we are all the work of God’s hands and we are called by him to live fully without fear.

As our creator, God sees our inner being. He knows our brokenness as well as our strengths. Unfortunately, all people that have lived on the face of the earth have experienced brokenness and sorrow. The feeling is awful and devastating. God offers an opportunity to reach out to him and gain new strength from the source of life that is life. Devastation, loss, or pains are indicators that we need someone to help us. We resort to our creator for new strength to continue with life. For this reason, great civilizations have existed with new leaders and new ideas. Powerful men and women rise above human weakness to set an example for others to imitate. St. Paul is a perfect example of a hero that rose above his brokenness. He writes, “He will keep you firm to the end, irreproachable on the day of our Lord Jesus Christ. God is faithful, and by him you were called to fellowship with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.” The pain and worries of Paul were forever changed when he had an encounter with his creator. He gained new strength and motivation to rise to greatness. He did. Countless men and women in history have done the same. You can do the same. Brokenness is a challenge to rise to greatness.

We need to accept the natural calamities in the earth as part of our renewal. We can avoid human calamities by changing our thinking. In both, we yearn for new beginnings. The season of advent is a new beginning in this dynamic world. The message, therefore, is to accept the change Jesus offers. We need a permanent joy with God. How are you rebuilding your life after a painful experience? Keep smiling!

Parish News and Events

The Diocese of Phoenix allows us to have 35% attendance at every Mass. Please remember to wear your face masks, sanitize your hands, and maintain social

distances. We need to remain healthy and happy.

IT IS MANDATORY TO WEAR A FACE MASK

As we are back on our regular Mass schedule and more people are returning to Cam-pus for activities, IT REMAINS VERY IMPORTANT TO CONTINUE TO FOLLOW PROTOCOLS TO KEEP VIRUS NUMBERS DOWN. PLEASE DO WHAT YOU CAN TO KEEP YOURSELF, OUR CLERGY, LITURGICAL TEAM, AND FELLOW PARISHION-ERS SAFE. WE CAN’T BE TOO CAREFUL! Pews and all surfaces are sanitized frequently. Hand sanitizer stations are placed at all entranc-es and elsewhere in the Church, Chapel, and Parish Center. Thank you for using them and continuing to take other measures to assist in keep-ing our Church, campus, ourselves and each other safe and healthy. PLEASE NOTE: We have acquired a fogger for disinfecting the Church. It is used several times a week and especially before and between Masses. It would be great if one or two people would volunteer to learn how to use it and be available after any Mass to do so. It’s easy to operate and the Church can be sanitized quickly and the disinfectant dries in no time. Won’t you consider assisting in this way? Any assistance in cleaning or other Campus projects is appreciated. Tuesday and Thursday mornings after Mass for an hour or so are always good times. Food for thought: We are called to be the light of the world, to “make the season bright”. If you or someone you know can use assistance with anything, or if you’d like to volunteer to help around Campus, please call me at 928-377-3435 Steve Couch, Facility Manager. If I’m not in the office, leave a message and I WILL CALL YOU BACK. You may also call my cell phone at 402-415-1296 or email to [email protected]. I’ll do my best to help or find help or put you to work. I might add that if you see anything that needs attention, please let me know in person or with a call or email. Keep Smiling! And Praying! Peace and May God Bless Us All!

Wednesdays at 10:00am in Parish Center: Room 5,6,7

To end the Covid pandemic. To end violence across the USA and for God to restore peace and calm in our cities. And to illuminate those who govern us so that they may commit them-selves to the common good and respect for God’s holy law.

MEMORIALS IN MEMORY OF A LOVED ONE

Occasionally someone will ask me; I would like to donate to something specific for the church in memory of my husband, wife, or someone else. Can you tell me what a contribution for a memorial would be used for and how much would it cost for each item needed for the church? Could I contribute towards the memorial in part if not in full? Here is a list of suggested needs in our parish that could be requested by you to be a memorial in memory of a loved one. 1. An automatic bell ringer attachment for our church tower bell to announce the beginning of each weekend Mass as well as announce the hours of the day for reciting the church prayer the “Angelus” which should be recited at 6:00am, noon, and 6:00pm. This is still a traditional practice among many Catholics. 2 A new sign for the front of the church to display the times of Mass, confessions, etc. 3 A new sign for the front door of the Parish Center to display office hours etc.

If you are interested, call the Parish Office at (928) 377-3435 to schedule a meeting with Father Victor.
