THE LONG-AWAITED ONE As the Sundays of Advent unfold the scriptures shift focus from the final coming of the Lord to his historical birth. Today’s scriptures blend the two. Isaiah’s disillusionment with the kings of his own day led him to envision an ideal king who would rule with divine approval and be led by divine wisdom. For centuries the Jewish people anticipated the arrival of that Messiah, who would usher in a blessed age when the whole world would finally dwell in justice and peace. After centuries of such growing expectation, the preaching of John the Baptist about the imminent arrival of the Messiah could not help but provoke intense interest. The Baptist’s message about preparation for “the one who is coming” (Matthew 3:11) makes clear that Jesus is, in fact, the long-awaited one who is ushering in the new age foretold by Isaiah and all the prophets. © Copyright, J.

St. Benedict School News…
We are counting our blessings at Saint Benedict Catholic School. Students celebrated Thanksgiving in their classrooms. They learned about the historical traditions and talked about the many gifts for which they are thankful. Another blessing we have is our annual Christmas Musical. A parochial education allows us to take the time to reaffirm our belief in and understanding of Jesus' birth. This year's musical, "It's ll About that Baby", will be presented on December 6th at 6:00pm. There will be a "split the pot" to help pay for expenses of the musical, so bring your dollars! Typically, the winner has received more than $300. St. Michael's is another of our many blessings. They generously shared their winnings from the Archangel Radio Fundraiser by splitting the proceeds between all three of the Catholic elementary schools in Baldwin County. Finally, thank you - all of our parish supporters. We could not
