from the Pastor

Joy

LORD, I AM NOT WORTHY

In the Eucharist, we recognize Jesus as the Lamb of God who heals our souls and saves us from the slavery of sin. John the Bap st, preaching repentance and the coming of God’s kingdom, saw Jesus approaching and said, “Behold the Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world” (Jn 1:29). Those who heard John would have collec vely recalled the sacrifice of a lamb in every Jewish household on the night of the first Passover (cf. Ex 12:1-14). With only a few words, John the Bap st summarized God’s interven on in history and its annual recollec on in the temple sacrifice. At the same me, he pointed to a new moment in the story of God’s ac ons to save his people. In the revised transla on of the Roman Missal, the words of John the Bap st are more directly evoked by the priest before Communion: “Behold the Lamb of God…” The new transla on also connects the Jewish Passover and Christ’s sacrifice on the cross with the eternal wedding feast of the Lamb, as declared by the angel of the Book of Revela on: “Blessed are those called to the supper of the Lamb” (cf. Rev. 19:9). When we return to our places a er receiving Holy Communion, the Mass provides me for personal adora on and thanksgiving. These are privileged moments of sacramental and spiritual union with Christ, giving us the opportunity to bring our wills into conformity with his. This is the me to lay before Jesus our deepest desires and ask him to purify them; and to rest and listen and love.

(Lord, I Am Not Worthy, by Cardinal Francis E. George, O.M.I. in Columbia magazine, publisher, Knights of Columbus, Dec. 2011.)

REJOICE! THE LORD IS NEAR!

Come, Lord Jesus, come! This is our cry, our prayer, as the birth of our Savior draws near. The third Sunday of Advent has a decided emphasis on joy, the joy of our expecta on of being saved. If the expecta on alone is cause for rejoicing, how much more will we rejoice at the Lord’s coming? Today is tradi onally known as Gaudete Sunday. “Gaudete,” the La n for “Rejoice” is from the first word of the entrance An phon for today’s Mass: “Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice! The Lord is near” (Phil 4:4-5). We are privileged to live in days a er the incarna on of the Son of God and before his glorious return to judge the living and the dead. Yes, we are privileged to live in these days! Jesus is telling us this in the Gospel when he declares: “Amen, I say to you, among those born of women there has been none greater than John the Bap st; yet the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.” How is this so? As great as John was, the least in God’s kingdom is greater? St. John is the last of the prophets, echoing Isaiah and all the other prophets. But even John had to wait for heaven to be opened by the Messiah’s redemp ve sacrifice and resurrec on. Ever since then, the world has rejoiced at the fulfillment of the promise of salva on. The gates of heaven are opened to all who are found faithful on the day the Lord calls us, individually or collec vely. Absolutely no wai ng! We are not greater than St. John the Bap st on our own merits. In fact, we’re obligated all the more to imitate the humility of the forerunner of Christ who said of Jesus: Behold! The Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world. So, rejoice in his first coming; it truly changed our history and is s ll recalled each Christmas and an cipated each Advent. This s rs up within us the sense of urgency needed so as to live in joyful an cipa on of Jesus’ coming again.

Sincerely in Christ, Fr. Albert

ST. JOSEPH SCHOOL NEWS

This year's diocesan devo onal project is Saints and Catholic Social Teachings.

Four eighth grade student leaders watched a virtual training and then filmed an introductory video about the project and the seven Catholic Social Teachings. This video will be watched by students throughout the school as they start the project to learn about fourteen saints who were dedicated to serving God. Thank you eighth grade leaders for volunteering to lead our school in this year's devo onal project!

Members of the St. Joseph School Student Council held a flag-raising ceremony in November to install a new flag on the corner of Highland Avenue and Franklin Street. The Student Council, led by President Tyler Balsamo, and moderated by middle school teacher, Mrs. Laura Cramer, replaced the previous ta ered flag which had been ripped by recent winds.

PRAYING FROM SUNDAY TO SUNDAY

Gospel of Luke 1:26-38 • Sunday, December 20

The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary. And coming to her, he said, “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.” But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of gree ng this might be. Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God. Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus. He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his kingdom there will be no end.” But Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no rela ons with a man?” And the angel said to her in reply, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God. And behold, Elizabeth, your rela ve, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the sixth month for her who was called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God.” Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” Then the angel departed from her.
