NOVEMBER 29, 2020 "We do not preach only one coming of Christ, but a second as well, much more glorious than the first. The first coming was marked by patience; the second will bring the crown of a divine kingdom. MASS INTENTIONS In general, whatever relates to our Lord Jesus Christ has two aspects. There Monday, November 30 is a birth from God before the ages, and a birth from a virgin at the fullness of 6:30 am John Reilly† time. There is a hidden coming, like that of rain on fleece, and a coming before 8:00 am Tim Molloy, Sr.† all eyes, still in the future. At the first coming he was wrapped in swaddling clothes in a manger. At his Tuesday, December 1 second coming he will be clothed in light as in a garment. In the first coming 6:30 am Julie Anna Acker he endured the cross, despising the shame; in the second coming he will be in Hellrung† glory, escorted by an army of angels. 8:00 am Roman Thomeczek† We look then beyond the first coming and await the second. At the first coming we said: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. At the second we

Wednesday, December 2 shall say it again; we shall go out with the angels to meet the Lord and cry out 6:30 am Int of Cathy McNamee in adoration: Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. 8:00 am John & Cathy The Saviour will not come to be judged again, but to judge those by whom he Stickling† was judged. At his own judgement he was silent; then he will address those who Thursday, December 3 committed the outrages against him when they crucified him and will remind them: You did these things, and I was silent. 6:30 am Int of Karol Schlueter 8:00 am Banghart† His first coming was to fulfil his plan of love, to teach men by gentle persuasion. This time, whether men like it or not, they will be subjects of his kingdom by Friday, December 4 necessity. 6:30 am Int of Fr. Nnamdi The prophet speaks of the two comings. And the Lord whom you seek Moneme, OMV will come suddenly to his temple: that is one coming. 8:15 am Int of Richards & Again he says of another coming: Look, the Lord almighty will come, and who Avery Conrad will endure the day of his entry, or who will stand in his sight? Because he comes 5:15 pm OMV Vocations like a refiner’s fire, a fuller’s herb, and he will sit refining and cleansing. These two comings are also referred to by Paul in writing to Titus: The grace of Saturday, December 5 God the Saviour has appeared to all men, instructing us to put aside impiety and 6:30 am Marjorie Walter† worldly desires and live temperately, uprightly, and religiously in this present 8:00 am Int of Joan Kane age, waiting for the joyful hope, the appearance of the glory of our great God 5:15 pm Tim Molloy, Sr.† and Saviour, Jesus Christ. Notice how he speaks of a first coming for which he gives thanks, and a second, the one we still await. Sunday, December 6 That is why the faith we profess has been handed on to you in these words: 6:30 am Frances Mary Pat He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father, and he Hellrung will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will 8:00 am George Woelfel† have no end. 9:30 am Peggy Wheaton† Our Lord Jesus Christ will therefore come from heaven. He will come at the 11:00 am Int of Bob & Connie end of the world, in glory, at the last day. For there will be an end to this world, Schneider and the created world will be made new." 6:00 pm The People of St. Mary’s If you have submitted a name for prayers in the bulletin THE FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT they will remain for one month. If you would like to ask the Focus: Let us be ever watchful for our God, who comes parish to continue praying, please let the parish office know to us in ordinary circumstances. by calling (618) 465-4284. Thank you for your prayers! Perhaps, like , we long for God to perform a breath- taking miracle that would make us sit up and take notice. Yet, as people of faith, we are called to see God in the ordinary. Advent gives us the opportunity to take time to pray – to sharpen our vision of God’s presence in our Please remember our brothers and sisters, daily lives. who are in need of prayer. The prophet Isaiah speaks of the longing of the people Kailey Almeter & the Almeter Family, Lucy Rose of Israel for God’s return and help in times of trouble: Lucas, Bill Haine, Naomi Fader, Barb Cronn, That {he} would rend the heavens and come down, such Everett O’Connor, Tom Grossheim, Jack Droste, that mountains would quake and awesome deeds take Greg Weirich, Cathy Weirich, The Ringering Family, place. Paul gives thanks for the grace of God bestowed Mary Donahue, Sean Donahue, Veronica on the Corinthians, and assures them that they are not Murray, Keith Houghton, Debra Houghton, lacking in any spiritual gift. In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells Baby Olivia, Mary Jenniches, Phyllis Milford-Rill, his disciples, Be watchful! Be alert! For they do not know Larry Greenwell, Emilee Tate, Pat Gorman, Liam when the Lord of the house is coming. Maher, G. Terry Westfall, Ellen Saville, Margarita Pulido, Bob Rill, Chris Henkhaus, Mike Mihalich, PART ONE - THE PROFESSION OF FAITH SECTION TWO – THE CREEDS Kathleen Engdale, Martha Kraehmer, Sue Imming, 199. "I believe in God": this first affirmation of the Michael Jennings, Jr., Francis Gonzales, Jill Love, Apostles' Creed is also the most fundamental. the whole Henry Leady, Matthew Paulda, Mary Wuellner, Creed speaks of God, and when it also speaks of man Stephen Turvey, Rollan “Jerry” Jouett, and of the world it does so in relation to God. the other Madrey, Jackie Stilley, Brian Petty, Bryce, William articles of the Creed all depend on the first, just as the Danother, John Wittman, Phil Hoefert, Mary remaining Commandments make the first explicit. the Ann Raymond, Trisha Middleton, Denny Meehan, other articles help us to know God better as he revealed Jonathan Denney, Fr.
