PRAYING FOR PEACE AND REPARATION

We invite you to stay at the end of Sunday Mass – following

for Peace: in our World, in our Families and in our Hearts. We

also pray the Prayer to St. Michael the Archangel, for healing

and reparation in our Church.

SACRAMENTS

Baptism – The Sacrament of Baptism is celebrated on

Sundays at 12:30 PM. A Pre-Baptism class is required for both

parents prior to the Baptism of their first child. Register with

the Parish Office: 203.775.1035.

Marriage – Weddings generally are celebrated on Friday

evening or Saturday afternoons and must be scheduled at

least six months in advance. Please do not make final

Office.

R.C.I.A. – Interested in becoming a Catholic? Call the Parish

Office.

“GLUTEN-FREE” HOSTS

St. Joseph Church has a limited supply of low-gluten

communion hosts available for those with a gluten allergy (not

dietary preference). While often referred to as “gluten-free,”

the hosts actually contain 0.01% gluten in order to conform to

liturgical standards. Please advise a priest or deacon before

Mass if you wish to receive the low-gluten host.

IMPORTANT HOSPITAL INFORMATION

Parishioners entering Danbury Hospital as patients

are urged to contact the St. Joseph Parish Office –

(203)775-1035 – if they wish to be visited by a

member of St. Joseph’s clergy during their stay.

Hospital chaplains will continue to visit patients who

identify themselves as Catholic when being admit-

ted.

OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST,

KING OF THE UNIVERSE

Real power doesn’t grab or

push

The bluster of schoolyard bullies

isn’t much different from the threatening words of the world’s ty-

rants. Only the reach of their destruction sets the tyrants apart.

Among the revelatory transfigurations of Jesus is how He deftly

transforms divine authority into the surrendering action of a serv-

ant. While worldly powers seize and hold, Jesus shares, teaches,

and heals. As bullies lash out, Jesus lays down His life and forgives

His enemies. The King of the Universe makes no claim on territory

or seats of grandeur. His throne is truth, and His realm, justice.

Take time to honor Him.

TODAY’S READINGS: 2 Samuel 5:1-3; Colossians 1:12-20; Luke

23:35-43 (162). “Are you not the Christ? Save yourselves and us.”

CATHERINE OF ALEXANDRIA, VIRGIN, MARTYR

A saint for the ages

Just as November begins with the feast of All Saints, it ends with

examples of how the Church remembers saints such as Catherine

of Alexandria (c. 287-305). Iconography reminds us that she was

of Egyptian royalty (often shown with a crown), and she could have

used her privilege to do almost anything. She chose to immerse

herself in the study of philosophy—she’s often shown with books.

Other symbols remind us of her fate once she was baptized at 14

and rebuked the Roman emperor for persecuting Christians. Cath-

erine is typically depicted with a spiked wheel—a torture device

said to have miraculously broken apart as the emperor first tried to

execute her—along with the “palm of martyrdom” and the sword

that finally beheaded her. We’re all called to be saints. What sym-

bols would adorn your holy card?

TODAY’S READINGS: Daniel 1:1-6, 8-20; Luke 21:1-4 (503). “She,

from her poverty, has offered her whole livelihood.”

Tuesday, Nov 26, 2019

Test the message

Jesus warned against false prophets promising salvation to those

who heed their call, yet each age seems to produce its own crop of

misguided messiahs. In our own time, many will remember the

tragedies associated with delusional figures such as Charles Man-

son, David Koresh, Yahweh ben Yahweh, and Jim Jones. Be cau-

tious with those who promise much but demand unquestioning

loyalty in return. If the fruits of humility, compassion, respect, and

integrity are not visible in the message, don’t trust the messenger.

TODAY’S READINGS: Daniel 2:31-45; Luke 21:5-11 (504). “See

that you not be deceived, for many will come in my name, saying,

‘I am he,’ and ‘The time has come.’ Do not follow them!”

I had a dream

You might wonder if God still speaks to us, as in biblical times,

through our dreams. The church teaches that while we already

have received the fullness of “public revelation,” God can still offer

us “private revelation”—guidance on our life journey or major deci-

sions—through our dreams. But such revelations are not common—

most dreams are randomly generated as part of sleep—and

dreams with a message require skillful interpretation by way of

prayer and reflection, and ideally with the assistance of a spiritual

Our Lord Jesus Christ,

King of the Universe

“The rulers sneered … the soldiers jeered … one of the

criminals hanging there reviled Jesus.” Is this the King of

the Jews, the King of the Universe? If it is so, perhaps His

kingdom is not at all what we would expect! In his letter

to the laity, St. John Paul II spoke about how Christians

share in the kingly mission of Christ. First, “they exercise

their kingship as Christians, above all in the spiritual

combat in which they seek to overcome in themselves

the kingdom of sin.” In other words, before we give any

thought to transforming society, we must first allow God

to transform us. Through daily prayer, regular self-

examination, and frequent confession, we can recognize

our faults more readily and choose love instead!

Second, St. John Paul II writes that the laity “make[s] a

gift of themselves so as to serve, in justice and in charity,

Jesus who is Himself present in all His brothers and

sisters, above all in the very least.” Christ’s kingship, and

our own participation in it, requires us to look beyond the

privileged of society. It goes beyond networking and

struggles of power. It goes with Jesus to the Cross!

Still, the kingship of Christ ought to effect society. “The

lay faithful are called to restore to creation all its original

value … ordering creation to the authentic well-being of

humanity.” Jesus does this in a radical way through His

death and resurrection. We, too, are invited to bring new

life to the world around us. This means holding the world

and everything in it as sacred. It means advocating for

civil policies that respect life and paying special care to

the vulnerable and marginalized in every stage of life. It

means being disciples of Jesus, inviting people into

authentic love so that one day we will together “be with

[Him] in Paradise!”

advisor. Pay attention to your dreams, but also test them.

TODAY’S READINGS: Daniel 5:1-6, 13-14, 16-17, 23-28; Luke

21:12-19 (505). “I have heard that you can interpret dreams and

THANKSGIVING DAY

Deepen your gratitude

Research from the Greater Good Science Center at University of

California, Berkeley and A Network for Grateful Living has under-

scored the importance of gratitude—or “reverence for what is giv-

en.” Focusing our mental lens on abundance, not scarcity, can

lead to dramatic improvements in health and quality of life. Dr.

Robert Emmons and Brother David Steindl-Rast pioneered the

field that teaches us to appreciate all experiences, whether we

once labeled them “good” or “bad.” Find a gratitude practice for

you or your family and try it for a week.

TODAY’S READINGS: Daniel 6:12-28; Luke 21:20-28 (506). “Stand

up and raise your heads, because your redemption is drawing

near.”

Friday, Nov 29, 2019

God’s persistent presence

Both of today’s readings point toward the notion that God’s king-

dom persists, no matter what. Daniel presents fantastical, destruc-

tive beasts with teeth and horns and thrones of flames. But van-

quishing them all is “one like a son of man” with an enduring king-

ship. In the gospel, Jesus reinforces the idea: the kingdom is near;

His words will endure. There is comfort here for the faithful: While

the world around us may be in upheaval, God’s presence never

fails. Allow yourself today to rest in the certainty that God’s king-

dom is always at hand.

TODAY’S READINGS: Daniel 7:2-14; Luke 21:29-33 (507). “Know

that the kingdom of God is near.”

ANDREW, APOSTLE

Introducing Jesus

If ever there were a patron saint of introductions—fortuitous, life-

changing introductions—it would have to be Andrew. At the begin-

ning of John’s gospel, Andrew tells his brother Simon Peter, “We

have found the Messiah,” before introducing him to Jesus. And we

all know how that turned out for Peter! Later, before Jesus per-

forms the miracle that fed 5,000 people, it was Andrew who intro-

duced him to the boy with two fish and five loaves. Later still, it

was Andrew who was approached—on the eve of Jesus’ death—

when a few curious Gentiles wanted to meet Jesus. As Advent be-

gins, consider ways that you, too, could introduce others to Christ.

Like the boy with the loaves and fishes, it could be as simple as

bringing food to a gathering.

TODAY’S READINGS: Romans 10:9-18; Matthew 4:18-22 (684).

“They left their nets and followed Him.”.

The Science of Learning

SJCA students in Grades 4 through 8 recently participated in

the Riffle Bioassessment by Volunteers (RBV) program, a

statewide volunteer water quality monitoring program coordi-

nated by the Connecticut Department of Energy and Environ-

mental Protection (DEEP). The students were trained by

SJCA’s STEM Coordinator and Certified RBV Trainer, Paul Shaf-

er. The students then visited the Pootatuck River in Newtown

where they conducted the valuable riffle bioassessment. They

collected, identified and sorted live macroinvertebrate speci-

mens and recorded the results. They also were able to pre-

serve a few specimens of each species they collected to be

sent to the DEEP. The data will be used to help calculate fund-

ing for fresh water conservation in the state.

Registration: Pre-K through 8th grade classes are still open to

enroll your child for the 2019-2020 school year! Please con-
