THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT—DECEMBER 13, 2015

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

From early December until January every year a huge Christmas tree stands in Rockefeller Center, New York. In almost every city, town and village throughout the country, in the windows of shops and houses, Christmas trees with their lights, stars and tinsel exude joy and happiness.

Recently I learned that the Christmas tree tradition first came to England through Queen Charlotte, the German wife of King George III, who in 1800 decorated a yew tree and illuminated it with small wax candles for a family party at Windsor. The custom was not taken up by the general population, until after Queen Victoria’s husband Prince Albert introduced spruce trees from his homeland in 1840. In England, Christmas trees were late arrivals in churches. Until then, churches had been draped in garlands of evergreens with holly and bay, sometimes so heavily decorated that one young woman wrote to The Spectator magazine in 1712 to complain that she found it impossible to catch the eye of a certain young gentleman, though they sat only three pews away, because the church looked “more like a greenhouse than a place of worship”. She feared that unless something was done she would grow “a very awkward creature at church” and soon have little else to do there but say her prayers. Imagine that!

Today’s Scripture Lessons proclaim joy in the near presence of God. Yet each is set against a background that militates against joyful expectation. The Old Testament Lesson from Zephaniah was written in the seventh century BC at a time when Israel was surrounded by hostile nations. Zephaniah does not mince his words. His main message is the coming day of universal judge-ment, “a day of wrath… of distress and agony… of ruin and of devastation… of darkness and gloom”, as the prophet says earlier in his book---images hardly brimming over with joy. The call to rejoice because the Lord is in the midst of his people is almost unexpected, as it is in contrast with everything preceding it.

St. Paul’s letter to the Philippians, our New Testament Lesson, was written when he was in prison because of his missionary work. In Philippi he had established his first European church and he called the community there “my joy and my crown”. Though he is impris-oned and facing the possibility of execution, joy and peace are prominent in the letter, culminating in St. Paul’s wish for their happi-ness in the Lord and for the peace of God that is beyond our comprehension while on earth.

When St. John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness and called the people to prepare a way for the Lord, and to receive a baptism of repentance, they were under Roman occupation with a Roman procurator and a Jewish subordinate ruler, King Herod. The tax collectors had bought their positions from the Roman authorities. The soldiers gave armed protection to the tax collectors. They were in need of some protection, because they were hated by both Jews and Gentiles. So, the people were attracted to the Baptist and his message. They went to him for baptism, and all, tax collectors and soldiers included, asked what they must do. He answered that they must act justly towards others. People living under a regime of occupation---with some benefiting from it, others oppressed by it---are brought together into joyful expectation. But St. John the Baptist does not allow their expectancy to be centred on him. Ra-ther, he directs it to the nearness of God and to the one who is to come.

From our Scripture Lessons we can see how John the Baptist, Paul and Zephaniah dispelled oppressing darkness with the light that shone from God’s nearness. It seems to me that Christmas trees with their glimmering lights and other decorations, which now illumine the period leading to the celebration of our Savior’s birth, can be seen as symbolising that same light of God’s near presence among us.

If we return to that young woman in church, faced with an overpow-ering array of greenery that thwarted her plans, we see that she met her troubles with humor. But when the troubles of life are so hard that nobody and nothing seems able to help, so acute that we are tempted to cry out that God is absent---what then? May we never forget that Emmanuel, God who is with us, is in our midst. Christ, the Morning Star, who comes to us in Word and Sacrament, will dispel our darkness.

In your charity, pray for the sick and the lonely—visit them if you can. Please remember to pray for all who have wandered from the Faith and all who have died, especially Bruno Riga, Teresa Riga and Anna Mae Gratalo. Also, pray for the souls of the faithful departed of our Parish family. May God always be pleased with us!

Monsignor Michael

OUR SCRIPTURE LESSONS REMIND US:

…that Christmas trees with their lights and decorations give joy and happiness at this time and during the entire season

of Christmas which ends after Epiphany, not December 26th;

…that today’s Scripture Lessons are all set against backgrounds of hardship and suffering. Zephaniah, Paul and John

the Baptist have their sufferings to bear but they are sustained by their belief that God is in their midst;

…and that God who comes to us in Word and Sacrament, is always close to us, especially in the darkest times of our lives.

May God always be pleased with us. Amen!

“Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition,

with thanksgiving, make your requests known to

God.” (PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7) St. Paul reminds us that our God is an abundant God, the ultimate giver of gifts. He promises to give us all that we need. When we trust that God will take care of us, it is easier for us to share what we have been given.

SHEPHERDS or GAUDETE SUNDAY The third Sunday of Advent is called Gau-dete Sunday, the day when we light the pink candle on the Advent wreath (hence the ‘pink candle’ Sunday). Rose vestments are worn to emphasize our joy that Christmas is near. Gaudete means “rejoice”. This day reminds us of the joy that is to come, and serves, amid this season of penance, as a kind of ‘break’ when we recall the hope we have because of the coming of Our Lord Jesus.

Has your marriage become unloving or uncaring — your relationship grown cold, distant—thinking about a separation or divorce? Are you already separated/divorced but (both of you) wish to try again—then the Retrouvaille program may help you.

Dear Friends of St. Ann School,

Pope Francis gave a homily in which he indicated that Advent was a season of tenderness. I love that image and thought about how I could communicate the idea of growth in tenderness to our students.

My opportunity came the very next day. Three second graders came to me in the cafeteria to tell me a fellow classmate was about to cry. My impulse was to rush over and solve the problem. But the Spirit had other ideas. I asked the threesome what they could do about it? They repeated the problem. “But you can be Jesus for her. What would He do?” They raced back to the table. One rubbed the back of the “almost crying” friend; another talked to her, and the third looked at her with compassion. After a few minutes they came to report their success. “She is better. She wants to handle it by herself,” was the agreement between the triad.

So how does St. Ann School teach tenderness? We live in a world and society which does not value tenderness. In fact, it is often portrayed as a weakness.

Our philosophy reminds us that we partner with parents who are the primary educators of children. It is the parent (and the parish) who first teach the faith by their words and actions. It was a parent who taught about that gentle back rub, the compassionate eyes, and the soft caring conversation. The parishioners model this further at Church when a little one wails in the middle of Mass and they shake a baby’s hand or offer a little hug and smile of encouragement.

Thank you to all who continue to be a source of tenderness to our school.

God bless you,

Sr. Mary Klersey, MPF Principal
