“Come, O Promised One, show us Lord, your love. Make us strong in faith as we await your Son.”
We will begin our Liturgies this weekend with this Gathering Rite and continue with the traditional, “O Come, O Come, Emmanuel” as the procession nears the altar. While we as Catholics enter into this season of watchful preparation for the coming of the Christ Child, it can be a confusing challenge to fully participate, as radio stations bombard us with the early sounds of Christmas! But let us be patient; let us sing our Advent songs with true longing as we eagerly await the coming of the Lord. As the words of Psalm 122 state, “Let us go rejoicing to the house of the Lord!”
The Teen Ministry Choir will sing on Saturday, December 4, at the 4:00 PM Mass. Rehearsal is in the church at 2:30 PMon Saturday. The Confirmation candidates will celebrate the Rite of Intent at this Mass. Come join us for us for an uplifting celebration for the Second Sunday in Advent.
