FR JOHN'S JOTTINGS
Prepare the way of the Lord! (Mark 1:3) With these words, John the Baptist called the people of Israel to examine their hearts and repent of their sin. The whole season of Advent is one long call from John the Baptist: Jesus is coming, so get ready for Him! Go to confession so that you can get rid of the obstacles of sin that keep you from receiving God’s love. Ask the Holy Spirit to shine His light into your heart. Let Him show you where you need to be set free so that you can rejoice with the angels on Christmas Day.
What about me? Am I returning God’s love for me? Or is something holding me back—comforts, possessions, selfwill, laziness, or something else? Does God hold first place in my life, or do I tend to follow my own agenda? Do I seek God through faithful Mass attendance, the sacraments, and regular times of prayer and Scripture reading? Do I keep Sunday as a holy day? Does my speech honor God? Am I harboring any resentment, anger, or unforgiveness in any of my relationships? Have I hurt anyone? Have I been chaste? Am I helping to build a world where every person is valued and seen as having dignity? Do I promote a respect for all life from conception to natural death? Are there other areas where the Holy Spirit is leading me toward repentance and renewal, any sins of omission, envy or theft?
Whatever sins and weaknesses your examination of conscience may reveal, remember: If Christ is for you, who can be against you? (Romans 8:31), so come to Him with faith and hope for a change. Meditations for Catholics -

December 12If you like Christmas cookies, this is a fun and tasty way of trying new varieties as well as sharing with others. No counting cookies, just bring in what you would like to donate and fill a plate to take home! (please drop off your cookies in the alcove before Mass). If you don’t have time to bake, but would like to purchase a few, all monetary donations will help the parish support Little Blessings Preschool. The preschool also has a small wish list of supplies – please take a look at their wish board this Sunday.Read More
