Ponder This:
“You cannot be half a saint; you must be a whole saint or no saint at all.”
—St. Therese of Lisieux
Second Sunday of Advent
J ohn the Baptist appeared,
preaching in the desert of Judea and
saying, “Repent, for the kingdom of
heaven is at hand!” It was of him that the
prophet Isaiah had spoken when he said: A
voice of one crying out in the desert, Prepare
the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.
John wore clothing made of camel’s hair and
had a leather belt around his waist. His food
was locusts and wild honey. At that time
Jerusalem, all Judea, and the whole region
around the Jordan were going out to him and
were being baptized by him in the Jordan
River as they acknowledged their sins.
“I am baptizing you with water, for
repentance, but the one who is coming after
me is mightier than I. I am not worthy to
carry his sandals. He will baptize you with
the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan
is in his hand. He will clear his threshing
floor and gather his wheat into his barn,
but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable
fire.”

Sacraments
Baptisms Baptisms for infants through 2nd grade are generally held during any of the weekend Masses (except during Advent and Lent.)
Please note: you must complete an online baptism request form located on our website before attending the baptism classes. If you are registered with another parish, you must provide a letter from your parish confirming that you are registered there and are regularly attending Mass.
There are three classes which parents and godparents are required to attend. The first covers the responsibilities parents and godparents promise toward keeping the flame of faith alive in their child/godchild. The second will reaffirm and respond to questions from the first and discuss the ongoing involvement in the child’s continued growth in the faith of the Church through the Sacrament of Confirmation. And the third class will discuss the baptismal rite itself.
Classes will be scheduled and conducted by Deacon Richard Ramm upon receipt of the completed baptism request form.
Weddings
All weddings must be scheduled six months in advance. A marriage preparatory class (four sessions) is required. Contact the parish office to determine availability and to schedule your wedding.

St. Albert the Great Catholic School
Wanted: Retired Teachers
St. Albert the Great Catholic School is looking for
a few retired teachers who would be willing to
help students in our K-8 grades who need
remediation.
In our efforts to allow access to a Catholic
education for as many people who would desire it,
we have some students coming from other schools
who are behind our grade levels and need
remediation beyond classroom differentiation.
These are motivated students and families who
want a high level of academic success.
Folks, we need your talents.
We would love you to be able to volunteer, and
some may make agreements with the families to be
paid.

THE LORD WILL COME This is the direct translation from the original Aramaic.
I f you notice our banner in the front of the church, it has the original Aramaic text as well
the English word. This Aramaic or Syriac expression was used by St. Paul at the conclusion of his
first Epistle to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 16:22 ) signifying "Our Lord Cometh."
I have a special place in my heart for this phrase as it is written in my native tongue. The Assyrians speak
the modern version of Aramaic today. The language you see on our banner is the language that Jesus spoke
which gives it even greater meaning.
As we know, in ancient cities of Iraq and other places of the Middle
East, our brothers and sisters in Christ have been through turmoil
and devastation that is unimaginable. I am so grateful that my par-
ents left the region when they did but I always feel a sense of help-
lessness and sadness for those who have had to endure so much. As I
sit at mass I often think about those who cannot sit and freely partici-
pate in the Eucharistic Celebration before us.
In one of the oldest churches there, they were unable to celebrate mass a couple of years ago for the first
time in hundreds of years. A few weeks ago they were able to celebrate mass for the first time again in al-
most two years since they were displaced. As I watched the digital footage of the mass taking place amidst
the rubble and destruction inside the church I was reminded that the Lord is bigger than our surroundings.
I am happy that in the midst of all of the sadness and devastation they have finally taken back our oldest
and ancient churches in time to celebrate the Mass of our Dear Savior's Birth.
May this Advent Season be a time of reflection, preparation, anticipation and joy; a time when we can truly
embrace the Lord in the most amazing way, a time when we can be hopeful and joyful for the coming of
the Lord - !

Instruction of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith
“Ad resurgendum cum Christo”
On October 25, 2016, the Vatican provided instructions that clarify the Catholic practice of the burial of the
deceased and the conservation of the ashes in cases of cremation. These instructions were sent to all funeral
directors along with all the clergy in the diocese. The full text of the Instruction can be found at
http://press.vatican.va/content/salastampa/en/bollettino/pubblico/2016/10/25/161025c.html
Summarizing the instruction, for Catholics the ideal is for the body to be at the Funeral Mass of the
Resurrection that takes place in the church, after which burial occurs in a cemetery. The Catholic Church
does permit cremation. The ideal is that the body is present for the funeral liturgy and afterwards the body is
cremated. However, the deceased may be cremated prior to the Funeral Mass and the cremains be present
for the Funeral Mass. The cremains are to be either buried or placed in a sacred place.
What must not occur is that the cremains be divided and distributed to various people, or used to create
jewelry, or the ashes to be scattered “in the air, on land, at sea, or in some other way.” The cremains are also
to not be kept within the home. The following are selected portions of the Instruction which may help to
explain the Church’s position:
§3. Following the most ancient Christian tradition, the Church insistently recommends that the bodies of the
deceased be buried in cemeteries or other sacred places. In memory of the death, burial, and resurrection of
the Lord, the mystery that illumines the Christian meaning of death, burial is above all the most fitting way
to express faith and hope in the resurrection of the body.
By burying the bodies of the faithful, the Church confirms her faith in the resurrection of the body, and
intends to show the great dignity of the human body as an integral part of the human person whose body
forms part of their identity. She cannot, therefore, condone attitudes or permit rites that involve erroneous
ideas about death, such as considering death as the definitive annihilation of the person, or the moment of
fusion with Mother Nature or the universe, or as a stage in the cycle of regeneration, or as the definitive
liberation from the “prison” of the body.
§5. When, for legitimate motives, cremation of the body has been chosen, the ashes of the faithful must be
laid to rest in a sacred place, that is, in a cemetery or, in certain cases, in a church or an area, which has been
set aside for this purpose, and so dedicated by the competent ecclesial authority.
The reservation of the ashes of the departed in a sacred place ensures that they are not excluded from the
prayers and remembrance of their family or the Christian community. It prevents the faithful departed from
being forgotten, or their remains from being shown a lack of respect, which eventuality is possible, most
especially once the immediately subsequent generation has too passed away. Also it prevents any unfitting
or superstitious practices.
§6. For the reasons above, the conservation of the ashes of the departed in a domestic residence is not
permitted….Nonetheless, the ashes may not be divided among various family members and due respect
must be maintained regarding the circumstances of such a conservation.
§7. In order that every appearance of pantheism, naturalism or nihilism be avoided, it is not permitted to
scatter the ashes of the faithful departed in the air, on land, at sea or in some other way, nor may they be
preserved in mementos, pieces of jewelry or other objects.
§8. When the deceased notoriously has requested cremation and the scattering of their ashes for reasons
contrary to the Christian faith, a Christian funeral must be denied to that person according to the norms of
the law.

Centering Prayer An Introduction to Contemplative Practice
St. Albert’s Centering Prayer group, led by JoAnn and Chuck Baird, is on the first Monday of each month at 7:00 pm in the chapel.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CC), § 2653, says:
The Church ‘forcefully and specially exhorts all the Christian faithful…to learn ‘the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ’ (Phil 3:8) by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures…Let them remem-ber, however, that prayer should accompany the reading of Sacred Scripture, so that a dialogue takes place between God and man. For ‘we speak to him when we pray; we listen to him when we read the divine oracles.’
Centering Prayer is a spiritual custom based upon the Word of God, Lectio Divina. We strive to in-crease the time we spend alone with God to 15-20 minutes twice a day. The purpose of our gathering is to encourage one another each month in this sacred, individual practice, in the words of CC, § 2560, in “the encounter of God’s thirst with ours.”
All members of the Centering Prayer group invite you to join them in the joy of this spiritual discipline.

“The poor you will always have with you, and whenever you wish you can do
good to them.” [Mk 14:7]
There is a real need for individual packets of dried
milk and single serving size pork and beans, tuna
fish, Vienna sausage, or any other food item that
come in five ounce cans. These items are pre-
cooked and can be eaten directly from the can if
necessary. I am trying to figure out how to
package these items in something other than a
brown paper lunch bag since I like to put several
items in this bag for a complete day of food and
the lunch bags aren’t big or sturdy enough to hold everything. If you
have any ideas please let me know.
Those in need are so grateful for your gifts
of non-perishable food, clothing, and
toiletries.
Thank you for all you do for those in need
and may God bless you.

Deacon’s OutreachDeacon’s Outreach What’s This Tradition?: The source of truth
W ithin the Catholic Church, the fullness of divine
revelation was revealed to the apostles through
Jesus Christ who in turn handed it on to their
successors. Jesus commanded the apostles and their successors
to teach and preach to all the nations everything that he had
taught.1 Jesus did not tell the apostles to write down what he
taught but to teach the nations all that he had taught them. This
command is what the Church calls Tradition.
How God has chosen to reveal himself has long been a
subject of theological debate and controversy both inside and
outside the Church. This Tradition is not your typical
tradition. Tradition, in common understanding, is construed to
mean the transmission of customs or beliefs from generation to
generation. In a limited sense this remains true but Tradition,
with a capital T, means much more.
