Our Lady told Juan Diego
to gather flowers and give
them to the bishop.
When he arrived to give them to the
bishop, he opened his cloak and the
roses fell to the floor.
To their surprise, a remarkable por-
trait of Our Lady was imprinted on
the coarse burlap fabric of the cloak.
The original cloak
with the image of
Our Lady is framed
and displayed in the
Basilica of Our Lady
of Guadalupe in
Mexico City.
Last Sunday our Advent message from Mark 13:33 was: “Be
watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come.”
The message this week is a little different. Isaiah (40:3-4) calls us
to action: “prepare the way of the LORD! Make straight in the
wasteland a highway for our God”! St. Peter tells us to hasten “the
coming of the day of the Lord” (2 Pt 3:12). And John the Baptist
cries out “REPENT.” “Make straight his paths” (Mark 1:1-8). The
action these great prophets call us to is not what we normally think
of at this time of the year.
In our commercialized world, we fill the weeks before Christmas
with frenetic activity. Our lives are a frenzy of shopping, attending
parties, sending Christmas cards, decorating and other commit-
ments. Just look at our schedule here at Holy Trinity. Something is
going on almost every day. There is so much to cram in before
Christmas! However, this is not the type of action Isaiah meant.
Preparing “the way of the Lord,” is not about making sure
that Walmart and Macy’s meet their sales quotas, or that all
the Christmas lights are perfect or that the cards get out on time.
Isaiah is calling us to make the pathways into our hearts and lives
as straight as possible before Jesus gets here. John the Baptist calls
us to repent, to change our attitudes, our actions and our words.
St. Peter reminds us to “conduct [ourselves] in holiness and devo-
tion.” What we are called to is interior activity.
In today’s second reading, 2 Peter 3:8-14, St. Peter reminds us that
the world as we know it will end. The “heavens will pass away
with a mighty roar and the elements will be dissolved by fire, and
the earth and everything done on it will be found out.” Once again,
we hear about the Second Coming of Christ. When the Second
Coming happens, the Lord expects us to conduct ourselves “in holi-
ness and devotion, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day
of God…” St. Peter tells us that “What we are waiting for … is the
new heavens and a new earth, in which righteousness dwells.”
And, finally, he tells us that while we are waiting we must do our
“best to live blameless and unsullied lives so that he will find [us]
at peace.”
And so, on this Second Sunday of Advent our goal is to find peace
in the midst of the frenzy. We are called to look beyond the com-
mercialism of the season, we are called to look into our hearts and
to make sure our hearts are prepared for the coming of the Lord.
With tender comfort and transforming power
you come into our midst,
O God of mercy and might.
Make ready a way in the wilderness,
clear a straight path in our hearts,
and form us into a repentant people,
so that the advent of your Son
may find us watchful and eager for the glory he reveals.
We ask this through him whose coming is certain,
whose day draws near:
your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God for ever and ever.
Amen.

Prayer for the Advent Wreath
Lord, our God, we praise You for Your Son,
Jesus Christ, for He is Emmanuel, the Hope
of all people.
He is the Wisdom that teaches and guides us.
He is the Savior of us all.
O Lord, let your blessing come upon us as we
light the first and second (purple) candles of this wreath.
May the wreath and its light be a sign of Christ’s promise of
salvation.
May He come quickly and not delay.
We ask this in His holy name. Amen.

Help religious communities. “Your generous contr i-
bution helps us to care for our retired sisters and
enables our younger sisters to continue in active minis-
try,” writes a religious sister. Your gift to today’s
collection for the Retirement Fund for Religious helps
provide medications, nursing care, and more for thousands of sen-
ior sisters, brothers, and religious order priests. It also helps ensure
younger members can continue the good works of their elders!

We meet every other Monday at 7pm, Room 105, (December 18) and lots of other fun activities in between (monthly dinners, BBQs, trivia, dancing, and more). Prerequisite at least one full cycle of the Grief Share pro-gram or more than a year of losing your loved one. “For I know the plans I have for you plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah

and how Advent helps us to prepare for the birth.

year ahead. Framed in the Spiritual Exercises of Ignatius of Loyo-
la, this retreat will use the Examen to look over the past year and
