FROM OUR PASTOR / DE NUESTRO PÁRROCO

Dear friends,

Please join me in welcoming the cool Season of Advent! I love this time of the Church year. There is so much to find and pray in the hopeful, joyful themes of Advent. Someone recently asked if there would be an Advent Re-treat this year. My answer is “Yes! The whole thing is a retreat.”

Take, for example, these three familiar words: “Come, Lord Jesus!” In our efforts to find and serve the Lord, these words can be very effective. They can be used as a prayer at any time and in any circumstance. I was just testing the practice recently when I had a particular need, a need for some peace in a troubling situation. I prayed the three words a number of times with some in-tensity and I immediately found some new hope. Give it a try. Let me know how it goes.

A similar idea came to me recently, one I have been going back to again and again, because I believe that He gave it to me. It is this: raising our minds and hearts by short Scriptural prayers is an important act of faith—one that will help especially when we are tempted against believ-ing or hoping. The Responsorial Psalm at Mass can be a good place to find such prayers, as I discovered again recently. Hearing the words “Praise the Lord, my soul!” led me to repeat those words again and again, which helped me to transcend another trying moment.

When our thoughts and feelings are all over the place, a simple prayer, spoken or sung, gives God the chance to strengthen our hope.

A blessed Advent to each of you!

With my prayers,

Fr. Matthew ZuberbuelerPastor

Queridos amigos,

Por favor, únamonos para recibir el Sereno Tiempo de Ad-viento! Me encanta este tiempo del año de la iglesia. Hay tantas cosas para buscar y rezar durate este tiempo de Ad-viento lleno de esperanza y alegría. Recientemente, alguien me preguntó si iba a haber un Retiro de Adviento. Mi re-spuesta fue "Sí! Todo es un retiro."

Piensen, por ejemplo, en estas tres palabras familiares: "Ven, Jesús, mi Señor!" Cuando nos esfozamos para encon-trar y servir a Nuestro Señor, estas palabras pueden ser muy efectivas. Pueden usarse como una oración en cualquien momento o en cualquier circumstancia. Recientemente, yo estaba probando esta práctica,cuando tuve una necesidad, una necesidad que requería paz en una situación perturba-dora. Recé las tres palabras intensamente unas cuantas vec-es, e inmediatamente me sentí lleno de esperanza. Pruéba-lo! Déjame saber cómo resulta todo.

Una idea similar se me ocurrió recientemente, una a la que he recurrido varias veces, porque yo creo que El me la con-cedió. Esta es: el elevar nuestras mentes y corazones a través de las oraciones de las Escrituras es un acto importante de nuestra fe, uno que nos ayudará, especialmente, cuando nos sintamos tentados en contra de nuestras creencias o esper-anzas. El Salmo Responsorial de la Misa puede ser un buen lugar para encontrar estas oraciones, algo que yo descubrí otra vez recientemente. Al escuchar las palabras "Alabo al Señor, mi alma!" me llevó a repetirlas una y otra vez y me ayudaron a superar otro momento difícil.

Cuando nuestros pensamientos y sentimientos nos abru-man, una simple oración, hablada o cantada, le da a Dios la oportunidad de fortalecer nuestras esperanzas.

Que tengan ustedes un Adviento bendito!

Con mis oraciones,

Padre Matthew ZuberbuelerPárroco

This year we are asking for items for children under 3. Things we are most in need of include: winter clothes and diapers (specifically size 6).

Thank you for your generosity!

For more information on gift plans and ways to give, and the full informational brochure,please visit our website:

stanthonyofpaduacommunity.com/capital-campaign/

Since restarting the Campaign, we have received a number of generous pledges. The participa-tion of every household in the parish is critical for us to meet our goal of $4 Million. The parish family is healthy when each of us does our part, rather than expecting someone else to take care of everything.

Many of these projects and improvements will depend completely on your sacrificial giving. Please prayerfully consider the ways in which you would like to contribute to these improve-ments. Thank you!

If you need a suggestion, here are the words of Pope Francis, given during the Angelus in 2018: "Advent invites us to a commit-ment to vigilance, looking beyond ourselves, expanding our mind and heart in order to open ourselves up the needs of people, of brothers and sisters, and to the desire for a new world."

Check back next week for the answer to our next question:Q: What is the origin of the Christmas tree?

Q: What are your preparation plans for Advent this year?

HIGHLIGHTS

Knights of Columbus Keep Christ in Christmas

The Knights of Columbus offer multiple activities that promote Christmas and the season of Advent in their proper context: Journey to the Inn, Spread the Light of Christ, Crèche or Advent Wreath Blessing, and the Christmas Poster Contest. These programs are centered on the example of the Holy Family and the Nativity of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The new Keep Christ in Christmas (KCIC) Program brings all KCIC activities together under one um-brella. It encourages councils to prompt their neigh-bors to shift from a preoccupation with materialism to the light of Christ and the spirit of giving. KCIC activities include whatever efforts best suit the par-ish and community of a particular council and do not need to originate from the Supreme Council.

ADVENT WREATH & CANDLE SALE

The Knights will be selling will be selling

Advent wreaths and candles after the week-

end Masses as well as in the Gift Shop during

usual open hours. The proceeds from the

sale will be used for Christmas gifts for the

St. Anthony of Padua faculty and staff.

This Advent we will be presenting Bishop Barron's series on the Mass.
