Pastor’s Note: The Advent Season
Announcements
M Pastor
Advent is a time of waiting and expectation; a season of quiet anticipation and preparation.
We are waiting for our Lord to come into the world as the baby Jesus, born of the Virgin Mary
in Bethlehem. We are also preparing for His return, His second coming as the shepherd-king,
to restore harmony and right relationship to all creation. Advent is a season of yearning for
God to come and set the world right with perfect justice, truth and peace. It is a season of
hope. Human beings cannot live without hope, without something to live for, without
something to look forward to. Hope is not wishful thinking—that is part of a child’s experience
of this season. Instead, hope—in its truest sense—is a deep trust in a better future which is
lived out and acted upon in the present.
The people of the Old Testament had the courage to hope for big things: that the desert
would be turned into fertile land; that the scattered and divided people would eventually be
gathered again; that the blind would see, the deaf hear, the lame walk; that not only their
own people, but all people of the Earth would be united in the blessings of everlasting peace.
We hope for the same things as the Old Testament people, for their hopes are not yet
realized. We do, however, differ from them in two ways. First, the coming of Jesus in history,
as a partial fulfillment of God’s promises, immeasurably confirms and strengthens our hope.
Secondly, we differ from the Old Testament people because Jesus has revealed to us that
God is not far off, but is already in our midst. Hence, the importance in the Advent liturgy of
John the Baptist and of Mary: Because they recognized the new situation, they serve as
models for the Church in discerning the presence of our Savior in the world.
Upcoming Events

Spotlight on Stewardship November 27, 2016 Stewardship Reflection “For you do not know on which day your Lord will
come.” Matthew 24:42
People who have had health issues or near-death
experiences generally have a greater appreciation for
each day being a gift from God. The rest of us usually
take for granted that we will be around tomorrow. But
when you start to look at each day as a gift, you
realize all the little miracles that happen daily and
grow in gratitude for all that we have been given.
St. Anne Community Outreach
St. Anne parishioners are encouraged to donate
toothpaste to St. Anne Community Outreach during
the month of November.
