PASTORAL CORNER
JOYFUL SUNDAY “Rejoice in the Lord”
Let us rejoice in the Lord! Such is the invitation addressed to all of us by today
on this Third Sunday of Advent. We should rejoice because Christmas is not just the commemora-
tion of Christ’s birth more than 2,000 years ago, but is also and especially the re-living of that sav-
ing event in our personal and community life. We should rejoice because Jesus is already in our
midst. The purpose of his presence is not to judge us but to show his solidarity with us in our effort
to set ourselves free from sin and its disastrous consequences. But there is something more: Jesus
is also with us to make us instruments and dispensers of his joy to all. Let us therefore keep these
consoling truths in our mind, as we continue to rejoice in the Lord in this Eucharistic Sacrifice.
HOLY SPIRIT: INSPIRE US +Fr Emmanuel-tv

Visit Him often. Do you want Him to give you few graces? Visit Him rarely. Do you want the devil to

9 DAYS CHRISTMAS NOVENA MASS Begins December 16th-24th December, 2017
We begin in our parish, the practice of 9 Days Christmas Novena Masses. Even if you are not a daily Mass goer, make it a point of duty to attend Mass on these remaining nine days leading to Christmas with all your intentions ready to be presented to the Incarnate Jesus on the Altar of Sacrifice. The 9 Days Christmas Novena is a great privilege, and a great act of sacrifice, worship, adoration, and penance for a particular intended petition and thanksgiving. The Novena prayer will be said before the final blessing at all the 9 Days Novena Masses followed by the “SACRAMENT OF RECONCILIATION” after Mass each day. See the Novena prayer below:
Divine Infant Jesus, After the wonders of Your birth in Bethlehem, You wished to extend
Your infinite mercy to the whole world by calling the Wise Men by heavenly inspiration to Your crib, which
was in this way changed into a royal throne. You graciously received those holy men who were obedient to the divine call and hastened to Your feet. They recognized and worshipped You as Prince of Peace, the Redeemer of mankind, and the
very Son of God. Show us also Your goodness and almighty power. Enlighten our minds, strengthen our wills, and
inflame our hearts to know You, to serve You, and to love You in this life, that we may merit to find our joy in You eternally in the life to come. Jesus most powerful Child,
I implore You again to help me: (pause briefly and silently state your intention here.....)
Divine Child, great omnipotent God, I implore through Your most Holy Mother's most powerful intercession,
and through the boundless mercy of Your omnipotence as God, for a favorable answer to my prayer during this
Novena. Grant me the grace of possessing You eternally with Mary and Joseph and of adoring You with
Your holy angels and saints, Amen. *************************************************************************
