This Week-

1st Sunday of Advent:

Watch!

This week we begin Advent, a season of preparation for the

Lord’s arrival at Christmas. Though Advent is often a joyous season, it is also intended to be a period of prayer, penance, and fasting. In our Gospel today, Jesus encourages us to “Be watchful! Be alert! What I say to you, I say to all: 'Watch!'" Another acceptable translation of this Sunday’s Gospel is, “Take heed, watch and pray for you do not know when the time will come” (Mk 13:33). We do not know the day or the hour that Christ will come again or when He will call us into His presence for our particular judgment, but being watchful means that we should be constantly striving to fulfill God’s will in our lives.

Romans 6:10

Without prayer it is impossible to keep our hearts anchored to God’s will for us. As we pray in the Our Father: Thy will be done, nothing would please Him more, nothing brings more healing to the world or comfort to our souls than the will of God. We do not have to go to a hermitage or participate in an Ignatian silent retreat for the next four weeks, but there are many things we can do to prepare for Christ to be born in our hearts once again this Christmas: Pray a decade of the rosary. Take 10-15 minutes each day and get to

know Jesus more by reading Scripture or a spiritual book (for example, The Living Gospel, our parish Advent book, located in the gathering space).

WAYS TO CONNECT

Father’s will. As He prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me yet not as I will, but as you will.” A little later on He prayed again, “My father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.” Indeed, these prayers reveal Jesus’ total submission to the will of God. During this Advent let us renew our commitment to be watchful in prayer and vigilant in carrying out the Fathers will. Our Lady of the Most Blessed Sacrament, pray for us!

Sign up for a retreat! For more information on retreats during Advent visit: www.stjosephretreat.org.

Make a commitment to come to daily Mass, receive Holy Communion and pray for your loved ones.

Spend time in front of Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament each week. Visit west.lafayetteadoration.org for more info.

There are special graces and blessings in the air during Advent, graces that our Father wants to pour into our hearts that his will may done on earth as it is in heaven. Today as Jesus comes to us in Holy Communion, let us thank Him for doing His
