Dear People of St. Stephen, The 3rd Sunday of Advent has a theme of “rejoice.” St. Paul says in the second reading “rejoice always.” The liturgy stresses the joy of expectation that is so much a part of the Advent season. The joy of Advent is not limited to the expectation of a happy event. Advent joy runs deeper, to the point where we can echo the theme of rejoice even in the midst of the pain that can touch our lives. Advent joy is the joy of hope that endures through pain, the joy that comes from the fact that the Lord Jesus, the risen Jesus who conquers even death, walks with us always. This hope is so important to people in times of loss or difficulty. This hope speaks to the pain that some people may feel in this season as they mourn the loss of a loved one or go through a difficult time in their lives. The constant presence of Christ with us tells that always, even in painful times, life and hope and love are the lasting realities. A short time after my mother died in October 2001, the Family Life Office of the Archdiocese sent around a poem that spoke to me and has a message for anyone who is grieving the loss of a loved one in these weeks. I have shared the poem in this space every year since then. The poem is entitled “My First Christmas in Heaven” and appears below.
My First Christmas in Heaven I see the countless Christmas trees around the world below; with tiny lights like heaven’s stars reflecting on the snow. The sight is so spectacular, please wipe away that tear; for I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I hear the many Christmas songs that people hold so dear; but the sounds of music can’t compare with the Christmas choir up here. I have no words to tell you the joy their voices bring; for it is beyond description to hear the angels sing. I know how much you miss me, I see the pain inside your heart; but I am not so far away, we really aren’t apart. So be happy for me, my dear ones, you know I hold you dear; and be glad I’m spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. I sent you each a special gift from my heavenly home above; I sent you each a memory of my undying love. After all, love is a gift more precious than pure gold; it was always more important in the stories Jesus told. Please love and keep each other as my Father said to do; for I can’t count the blessings or love He has for each of you. So have a Merry Christmas and wipe away that tear; remember I am spending Christmas with Jesus Christ this year. -Author Unknown
The real meaning of Christmas - the coming of Jesus and His ongoing presence with us - affirms that the joy and hope and life of this season is God’s ultimate reality for us. Jesus’ resurrection proclaims the triumph of life. May all of you for whom this Christmas is a difficult time for whatever reason know the profound hope and peace that Jesus brings to us. The Christmas Mass schedule appears elsewhere in this bulletin. We will have our usual full schedule of Christmas Masses, but will have a slightly shortened schedule for the fourth Sunday of Advent since the two feasts overlap. We are blessed with large crowds at Christmas, with a particularly large crowd at the 3 PM Christmas Eve Mass. I encourage you to attend a Mass later than 3 PM if at all possible. As we have done in past years, we will not allow saving seats in church for others who will come later. Also, we do not open the church until 2 PM on Christmas Eve. We ask everyone to cooperate with the ushers to help all of us to worship the Lord well at Christmas Mass. May God bless you and your loved ones. Fr. Jay From our Associate Pastor Nawracajcie się i wierzcie Tytuł, jakże nam znany, jest hasłem na nowy rok duszpasterski, a w zamierzeniu ma nam pomóc w docenieniu sakramentu pokuty i pojednania. Dzisiaj świętujemy Niedzielę Radości – Gaudete – trzecia Niedziela Adwentu. To radość podwójna, po pierwsze radość z nowego roku i jego hasła, po drugie radość z obecności Pana pośród nas. Czytania dzisiejsze wspominają postać Jana Chrzciciela, która rozświetla Adwent jak lampa roratnia, niesiona przez dziecko na nabożeństwo. Jego misja to przygotowanie Jezusowi drogi do naszych serc. Ewangelista napisał o Nim: „Przyszedł on na świadectwo, aby zaświadczyć o światłości, by wszyscy uwierzyli przez niego. Nie był on światłością, lecz [posłanym], aby zaświadczyć o światłości.” (J 1,7-8 ). Tą światłością jest oczekiwany Jezus Chrystus, a Jan, poprzez słowa w Ewangelii uczy nas pokory, radości z przyjścia Pana, pokazuje, jak żyć w oczekiwaniu na Zbawienie. Dlaczego Niedziela Radosna? Bo w sercach czujemy już radość, że tak szybko nadchodzi Boże zbawienie, że Mesjasz jest tuż, tuż... Jest to radość wypełniająca serce człowieka będącego blisko Boga, radość, która wypływa z wdzięczności za wszystkie Boże dzieła dokonane dla nas, a także za to, że dał nam sposobność przeżycia świąt w uroczystym nastroju, z uroczystą oprawą, uroczystym oczekiwaniem. Kolor szat liturgicznych jest wyjątkowy i rzadko w liturgii stosowany – kolor różowy, nie tradycyjny fiolet, ale kolor, który może się kojarzyć z barwą, którą czasami można dostrzec w czasie wschodu słońca. To Jezus Chrystus jest tym „Wschodzącym Słońcem”, a my – prowadzeni przez świętego Jana Chrzciciela – pragniemy się poddać „naświetlaniu” w promieniach tego Słońca, które nie zna zachodu. Dlaczego uczy nas pokory? Bo uczciwie, bez wywyższania, na pytanie, kim jest, powiedział zgodnie z prawdą, iż jest tylko bożym posłańcem, który ma dać świadectwo o Tym, który przychodzi. To powoduje, że zdajemy sobie sprawę z naszej małości. Wyrażajmy więc z pokorą radość z bliskiego przyjścia Pana, widząc w nim „Przyjaciela człowieka” – pamiętajmy o tym, że ON jest naszym Przyjacielem, i że przyjaźń z Nim jest naszym największym skarbem. Skarbem, który mamy utwierdzić naszym nawróceniem, pokutą i pojednaniem. Przyjaźń to wielki dar, który pokazuje nam dobroć Jezusa jako Boga i człowieka. O tym, że darzy nas wszystkich serdeczną przyjaźnią i miłością, powinniśmy pamiętać i tym samym obdarzać naszych bliskich, przyjaciół, ale także nam nieprzychylnych. Pamiętając o tym, iż przyjaźń jest formą miłości, dajmy się wreszcie przekonać, że gdy ją tracimy, tracimy bardzo wiele. Jeżeli bowiem miłość potrafi rozświetlić nasze życie, to co może się zdarzyć, gdy zgaśnie? Z pewnością nasze życie stanie się ciemne, ponure, mało owocne. A nam chodzi przecież o coś innego, prawda? Dbajcie więc o nią dobrze, Przyjaciele, którzy macie szczęście ją posiadać. Dbajmy o nią... PANIE JEZU, Ty jesteś blisko tych, którzy Cię wzywają, tych, którzy wzywają Cię szczerze. Wszyscy oczekujemy Ciebie, Panie, z nadzieją....
Turn around and believe The tle of this ar cle will be our slogan for the new liturgical year and is intended to help us to appreciate the sacrament of Penance and Reconcilia on. Today we celebrate Gaudete Sunday - the third Sunday of Advent. It is all about joy. First of all we are experiencing the joy of the New Year of the church and secondly and most importantly the joy of the Lord's presence among us. Today’s reading tells the story of John the Bap st. His mission is to prepare us to have Jesus enter our hearts. The evangelist wrote about him. “A man named John was sent from God. He came for tes mony, to tes fy to the light, so that all might believe through him. He was not the light, but came to tes fy to the light. The true light, which enlightens everyone, was coming into the world.” (John 1: 7-8). This light which John speaks about is Jesus Christ and His coming into the world. Through the words of the Gospel we learn humility from John the Bap st and the joy of the coming of the Lord who teaches us how to live in expecta on of eternal salva on. Why is Joy the theme of this Sunday? Because in our hearts we already feel joy that God's salva on is coming through the Messiah. This is the joy that fills the heart of the man who is close to God, the joy that flows out of gra tude for all God's gi s and graces bestowed upon us. Our Lord gave us the opportunity to experience joy while s ll being in the midst of a solemn season, a solemn mood, with a solemn se ng and with solemn expecta ons. The color of the liturgical vestment this Sunday is unique and rarely used in the liturgy - rose, not the tradi onal violet. It is a color that can be some mes be associated with the rising sun. It is Jesus Christ who is the "rising sun," and we, led by St. John the Bap st, desire to "shine" in the rays of this sun. How does this Gospel teach us humility? When John the Bap st is asked who he is, he humbly and truthfully replies that he is only a messenger who is sent to tes fy about one who is greater than he. This causes us to realize our smallness. Let us express humbly the joy of the Lord's coming, seeing Him as the "the true friend of man." Let us remember that He is our Friend, and that friendship with Him is our greatest treasure. Friendship is a great gi that shows us the goodness of Jesus as true God and true man. A er all we are told that we should love our close friends, our neighbors and our loved ones without reserva on. Remember that friendship is a form of love that we never want to lose because if that happens, we can lose a lot. Love illuminates our lives. Take care of your friendships and treat them well. We are all blessed to have them. Lord, You are close to those who sincerely call You. We look forward to Your coming, Lord, with hope, love and pa ence. Spiritual Life
