The Season of Advent: Its Meaning, Symbols, Time Period and More. In the Catholic Church, Advent is a period of preparation extending over the four Sundays before Christmas. The word Advent comes from the Latin advenio, “to come to,” and refers to the coming of Christ. And the term the coming includes three references: first of all, to our celebration of Christ’s birth at Christmas; sec- ond, to the coming of Christ in our lives through grace and the Sacrament of Holy Communion; and finally, to his second coming at the end of time. Our preparations, therefore, should have all three comings in mind. We need to prepare our souls to receive Christ worthily. First, We Fast; Then We Feast Advent has been called a “little Lent,” because it traditionally has included a period of in- creased prayer, fasting, and good works. Although the Western Church no longer has a set requirement for fasting during Advent, the Eastern Church (both Catholic and Orthodox) continues to observe what is known as Philip’s Fast, from November 15 until Christmas. Traditionally, all great feasts have been preceded by a time of fasting, which makes the feast itself more joy- ful. Unfortunately, Advent today has supplanted by “the Christmas shopping season,” so that by the time Christmas Day comes, many people no longer enjoy the feast or even specially mark the next 12 days of the Christmas season, which lasts until Epiphany (or, technically, the Sunday after Epiphany, being that the next season, called ordinary time, starts on the following Monday). The Symbols of Advent In its symbolism, the church continues to stress the penitential and preparatory nature of Advent. As during Lent, priests wear purple vestments, and the Gloria (“Glory to God”) is omitted during Mass. The only excep- tion is on the Third Sunday of Advent, known as Gaudete Sunday, when priests can wear rose-colored vest- ments. As on Laetare Sunday during Lent, this exception is designed to encourage us to continue our prayer and fasting, because we can see that Advent is more than halfway over. The Advent Wreath Perhaps the best-known of all Advent symbols is the Advent wreath, a custom that originated among German Lutherans but was soon adopted by Catholics. Consisting of four candles (three purple and one pink) arranged in a circle with evergreen boughs, the Advent wreath corresponds to the four Sundays of Advent. The purple candles represent the penitential nature of the season, while the pink candle calls to mind the respite of Gau- dete Sunday. Celebrating Advent We can better enjoy Christmas—all 12 days of it—if we revive Advent as a period of prepara- tion. Abstaining from meat on Fridays or not eating at all between meals is a good way to revive the Advent fast (Not eating Christmas cookies or listening to Christmas music before Christmas is another.). We can in- corporate customs such as the Advent wreath, the Saint Andrew Christmas Novena, and the Jesse Tree into our daily ritual, and we can set some time aside for special scripture readings for Advent, which remind us of the threefold coming of Christ. Holding off on putting up the Christmas tree and other decorations is another way to remind ourselves that the feast is not here yet. Traditionally, such decorations were put up on Christmas Eve, and they would not be taken down until after Epiphany, in order to celebrate the Christmas season to its fullest. Have a Blessed Advent.

Her Diary reveals the depths of her spiritual life and illus- trates the high degree of her soul’s union with God. The lord endowed Sister Faustina with tremendous graces: The Gift of contemplation, a deep knowledge of the mystery of the mercy of God , Visions, revelations, the hidden stigmata, the gifts of prophecy and of reading human souls, and also the rare gift of mystical espousal (Diary introduction, p.10. Polish Edition) Our study group will be interactive and will challenge us to grow together as we witness God’s work in and through Saint Faustina. We will come to know and understand the depth of God’s grace that flows from the Sacred Heart of Jesus through her eyes and through her knowledge and understanding of God’s action in the soul. God’s Grace will flow into our lives as we dig deep into phrases of her Diary. No books to buy- just come as you are! Page 8 December 1, 2019 Parish & Community News

“Let us ask Our lady, in a very special way: Mary, mother of Jesus, be a mother to each of us, like you , may be pure in heart, that we, like you, love Jesus; that we, like you serve the poorest for we are all poor. First let us love our neighbors and so fulfill God’s desire that we become carries of his love and Compassion” - -Mother Teresa Parish News December 1, 2019 Page 9
Season of Advent... We are called to reflect the light of God’s love through the ways in which we live our lives. Imagine the impact if each of us took this call to heart, every day, at home, work, or school, in our parish, in the world. “All nations shall stream toward it,” toward the love that only comes from God. Yet, we must admit that much of the time we fail to be beacons of God’s light. We fall asleep, complacent, preferring to go the easy route, which often leads to dark- ness rather than the radiance of Christ’s light. As we begin the season of Advent, Saint Paul admonishes us to throw off the works of darkness, to awaken to the call of light and love. In today’s Gospel, Jesus too tells us to stay awake, to be prepared to greet the Lord of light as people of the light. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TIME OF PREPARATION To succeed in your intentions, entrusted yourself to the Blessed Virgin Mary always, but especially in moments of difficulty and darkness. “From Mary we learn to surrender to God’s will in things. From Mary we learn to trust even when all hope seems gone. From Mary we learn to love Christ, her son and the Son of God… Learn from her to be always faithful, to trust that God’s word to you will be fulfilled, and that nothing is impossible with God.

Wreaths Across America Day- December 14, 2019– 9:00 AM Coral Ridge Cemetery, Observed annually on a Saturday in December, designated by Congress, National Wreaths Across America Day is a movement to cover all Veterans grave markers with a Christmas wreath. Remember. Honor. Teach.
This is the mission of Wreaths Across America. By coordinating wreath-laying ceremonies at cemeteries across America, Wreaths Across America strives to remember our fallen heroes, honor those who serve and teach our children about the sacriϔices made by veterans and their families to preserve our freedoms. This project is locally sponsored by the Knights of Columbus Councils in Cape Coral. There are approximately, 2,000 veterans interred at Coral Ridge Cemetery; last year, the Knights placed nearly 1,400 wreaths and paid for approximately half of them. For every 2 wreaths that are purchased for $15.00 each, we will receive a third one for free (in other words, 3 wreaths for $10.00 each!) Please help us with this project.
