From the desk of Fr. John: LESSON LEARNED!
Just in case that I thought that I could compete with the Seahawks
I found out that I can’t! I just couldn’t draw the 12th Man away
from the game last Monday evening for Reconcilia on, not even with
the offer of a quicker than usual exit from the church while it was
s ll half me in the game. I even had the addi onal incen ve of
having Deacon Sam sta oned near the doors of the church to act as a
lead blocker for anyone looking to get in and out of the church as
quickly as possible. Some of you may have thought that the cartoon
included here is really true and that I had already read all about
your sins on Facebook and that you could stay home and have me mail
out your forgiveness! It doesn’t work that way; the church doesn’t
want forgiveness floa ng out there in cyberspace in case the wrong
people might find it and grab it without ever expressing sorrow for
any sins in life!
I am including next a photo of a card a friend sent me some me back
both because I am a priest and a sports fan, espe- cially a
Seahawks fan. I thought you might get a laugh from it as we come
down the home stretch of games in high hopes of a playoff spot as
well the home stretch for Christmas.
Gaudete Sunday. This is the name tradi onally given to this Third
Sunday of Advent. It calls for Rose colored or Pink vestments and a
similar color candle on the Advent wreath to reflect the tone of
the season. The First Reading and the Responsorial Psalm are full
of exhor- ta ons to rejoice, sing joyfully and to cry out with joy
and gladness. The Second Reading picks up on these same sen ments
saying “Rejoice in the Lord always” because “The Lord is near”. It
adds; “Have no anxiety,” and ends with “Then the peace of God which
surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in
Christ Jesus”.
There is also a line in the Mass shortly before Communion that es
in; it says that we are “wai ng in joyful hope for the coming of
Our Savior Jesus Christ”. Listen for it.
The ques on that all of these references asks of us is this: is the
prepara on that we are doing for Christmas going to bring us to
rejoice in joy, gladness and peace? Is the Chris an life of faith
that I am living making me a glad and joyful and peaceful person
who rejoices about life and who is not buried in anxiety? If not,
what is missing, and what do I want to do about it? God is making
every effort to make it so, if only we allow him by agreeing to
life on his terms. Even though we all find ourselves paying much
more than we thought we would for gi s, that we hope will make
others happy we may not want to pay the price God asks for even
greater happiness, which is called joy. Mathew Kelly wrote a book
on this which he en tled RESISTING HAPPINESS. Learning to sur-
render to God takes a life me of prayerful living.
Happy Sunday of joy, gladness and peace.
Fr. John.

Pastoral Care & Social Concerns
BRING THE HOMEBOUND TO MASS
Catholic Community Services is starting a pro- gram to connect
parishioners with fellow parish- ioners who are homebound and need
a ride to Mass. They will hold an orientation session on Dec. 9th
at 12:30 in the St. Martin room of the parish center at Holy Family
Catholic Church in Kirkland. Any parishioner who is in need of a
ride, will go through CCS and be vetted. Volun- teers will then be
contacted to see if a match can be made. Which Masses and how often
a volun- teer can offer a ride is entirely at the discretion of the
volunteer. Mileage payment is also available through CCS.
Rachel’s Corner
Hope and Healing After Abortion “I said her name out loud for the
very first time. I have not been to confession in 10 years and I
thought I was fine. What a gift I have been given going to
confession now. I am so happy now. I am at peace and more
importantly, now I know my child is at peace. I am empty of all
pain. Now I can begin to forgive myself.” - Testimonial from
retreat Do you know what it would be like to feel peace again? Your
Rachel’s Vineyard™ team understands that yearn- ing and invites you
to join them on the next retreat. The gift of His mercy and peace
is awaiting you. Now registering for our next healing retreat:
