Reminder for Sunday, December 8, 2019, 2nd Advent

 Welcome: Catholic Mass with coffee & juice & specials on the house served afterwards.

Time: 9:30; Celebrate with the Community & Stack.  Again, Welcome.

Place: Vines High School, 15th between Custer & Independence.

Nehemiah 8, 2-10,  Go, eat rich foods and drink sweet drinks.

Psalm 19,  Your words, Lord, are spirit and life.

1 Corinthians 12, 4-11, Now, the body is not a single part, but many.

John 2, 1-11, He has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor and liberty to captives.

 

For those who don’t have a decent Bible or a book of the readings, here are two links that I use,

The Bible at Your Fingertips (http://st-luke-church.org/bible-at-finger-tips.php) and USCCB, The New American Bible (http://www.usccb.org/).  

The difference?  The first is Protestant more or less, and the second is officially Catholic and has the 12 little books in between the O.T. & N.T., called Deuterocanonical or Apocrypha. 

Both are good translations.

Revelation 7:  These are those who come from the great tribulation.  And they’ve washed their robes, scrubbed them clean in the blood of the Lamb.  That’s why they’re standing before God’s Throne. 
1 John 3:  For this is the original message we heard: We should love each other.  Let’s not just talk about love.  Let’s practice real love.
 Matthew 5:  When Jesus saw his ministry drawing huge crowds, he climbed a hillside.  Those who were apprenticed to him, the committed ones, climbed with him.  Arriving at a quiet place, he sat down and taught his climbing companions. 

John Cade’s Homily from last Sunday:  10-26-25 Homily -30th Sunday in Ordinary Time

Good food is the hallmark of every season: fresh fruit in summer, roasted chestnuts in the fall, warm bread in winter, oyster stew in the spring. Leslie Newman says of it, “As the days grow short, some faces grow long. But not mine. Every autumn, when the wind turns cold and darkness comes early, I am suddenly happy. It’s time to start making soup again.”
The Monastic Way, Sister Joan Chittister
