“We proclaim Jesus as Lord and ourselves as servants for His sake.”

December 2, 2012 First Sunday of Advent

Holy Day December 8

Next Saturday, December 8, is the Solemnity of the

Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary

and a Holy Day of Obligation. On Holy Days of

Obligation, all Catholics are obliged to make every

reasonable effort possible to attend the celebration of

the Holy Mass.

Normally when a Holy Day falls on a Saturday or a

Monday, the obligation to attend Mass is mitigated.

There are 2 exceptions, Christmas and the feast of the

patron of a nation. Because the patron of the United

States of America is the Blessed Virgin Mary under the

title of the Immaculate Conception, the day remains a

day of obligation even though it falls on a Saturday this

year.

Given the times in which we live, and the many

challenges facing our nation and the world, it is most

appropriate for us to gather and celebrate the

Eucharist seeking the protection and assistance of our

national patron, the Blessed Virgin Mary. For this

reason, there are extra Masses on Saturday morning

next week.

On Saturday December 8, the Masses for the Holy

Day will be at 7:30 am, 9:00 am, 10:45 am and 12:30

pm. The regular Masses on Saturday evening will be

the Masses of the Second Sunday of Advent.

Advent Giving

It’s time to renew our hearts and souls to welcome Jesus in the many

ways He presents Himself to us. One of those ways is to recognize Him in

the faces of our brothers and sisters in need.

This is the final weekend of our book collection. These will become

part of a gift package prepared by the Ladies of Charity, Catholic women who

serve those in great need. Some of the 900 families are served through the Jail

Ministry, Catholic Social Services and the Pontiac area parishes. We are very

grateful for NEW, unwrapped books of interest to children ages 2 through 18.

Thanks to Molly Daly for coordinating and securing them until they are

picked up this week. May every parent help a child learn to love reading.

We are on our way to having 1000 pairs of tube new Socks for the Jail

Ministry Christmas bags. Collection bins are in the vestibules, or socks may

be dropped off at the office during the week. These are due by

December 9. Thank you!

Our Giving Tree invites you to make a generous cash or check donation to help

many of our core city Catholic ministries for children, the homeless, and

the elderly in need. Families who eat at the Soup Kitchens receive help,

too.

New Gift Cards are also appreciated by many of those projects

that request our help. Checks may be written to Shrine Church Giving

Tree and dropped in the collection or at the parish office.

Truly it is more blessed to give than to receive. Every sacrifice

you make will be given with prayer and love to those in need of the

hope and peace of Christmas.

The movement of the celebration

1348 All gather together. Christians come together in one place for the Eucharistic assembly.

At its head is Christ himself, the principal agent of the Eucharist. He is high priest of the New

Covenant; it is he himself who presides invisibly over every Eucharistic celebration. It is in

representing him that the bishop or priest acting in the person of Christ the head (in persona

Christi capitis) presides over the assembly, speaks after the readings, receives the offerings,

and says the Eucharistic Prayer. All have their own active parts to play in the celebration,

each in his own way: readers, those who bring up the offerings, those who give communion,

and the whole people whose "Amen" manifests their participation.

1349 The Liturgy of the Word includes "the writings of the prophets," that is, the Old Testament,

and "the memoirs of the apostles" (their letters and the Gospels). After the homily, which is an

exhortation to accept this Word as what it truly is, the Word of God,173 and to put it into

practice, come the intercessions for all men, according to the Apostle's words: "I urge that

supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all men, for kings, and all

who are in high positions."174

1350 The presentation of the offerings (the Offertory). Then, sometimes in procession, the bread

and wine are brought to the altar; they will be offered by the priest in the name of Christ in the

Eucharistic sacrifice in which they will become his body and blood. It is the very action of

Christ at the Last Supper - "taking the bread and a cup." "The Church alone offers this pure

oblation to the Creator, when she offers what comes forth from his creation with

thanksgiving."175 The presentation of the offerings at the altar takes up the gesture of

Melchizedek and commits the Creator's gifts into the hands of Christ who, in his sacrifice, brings

to perfection all human attempts to offer sacrifices.

1352 The anaphora: with the Eucharistic Prayer - the prayer of thanksgiving and consecration -

we come to the heart and summit of the celebration:

In the preface, the Church gives thanks to the Father, through Christ, in the Holy Spirit, for all his

works: creation, redemption, and sanctification. the whole community thus joins in the

unending praise that the Church in heaven, the angels and all the saints, sing to the thrice-

holy God.

1353 In the epiclesis, the Church asks the Father to send his Holy Spirit (or the power of his

blessing 178) on the bread and wine, so that by his power they may become the body and

blood of Jesus Christ and so that those who take part in the Eucharist may be one body and

one spirit (some liturgical traditions put the epiclesis after the anamnesis).

In the institution narrative, the power of the words and the action of Christ, and the power of

the Holy Spirit, make sacramentally present under the species of bread and wine Christ's body

and blood, his sacrifice offered on the cross once for all.

1354 In the anamnesis that follows, the Church calls to mind the Passion, resurrection, and

glorious return of Christ Jesus; she presents to the Father the offering of his Son which reconciles

us with him.

In the intercessions, the Church indicates that the Eucharist is celebrated in communion with

the whole Church in heaven and on earth, the living and the dead, and in communion with

the pastors of the Church, the Pope, the diocesan bishop, his presbyterium and his deacons,

and all the bishops of the whole world together with their Churches.

1355 In the communion, preceded by the Lord's prayer and the breaking of the bread, the

faithful receive "the bread of heaven" and "the cup of salvation," the body and blood of Christ

who offered himself "for the life of the world":179

Because this bread and wine have been made Eucharist ("eucharisted," according to an

ancient expression), "we call this food Eucharist, and no one may take part in it unless he

believes that what we teach is true, has received baptism for the forgiveness of sins and new

birth, and lives in keeping with what Christ taught."180

Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration

"I place myself in the presence of Jesus in the

Most Blessed Sacrament, contemplating Him as

the Redeemer and Sanctifier of my soul."

"He came with love to Bethlehem; He comes

with grace into our souls; He will come with justice

at the end of the world: Christ's triple coming, the synthesis of

Christianity, an invitation to a vigilant, trusting expectation,'Lift

up your heads, for your redemption is at hand!'...O my God,

Word of the Father, Word made flesh for love of us, You

assumed a mortal body in order to suffer and be immolated

for us. I wish to prepare for Your coming with the burning

desires of the prophets and the just who in the Old Testament

sighed after You, the one Savior and Redeemer. 'O Lord,

send Him who You are going to send...As You have promised,

come and deliver us!' I want to keep Advent in my soul, that

is, a continual longing and waiting for this great Mystery

wherein You, O Word, became flesh to show me the abyss of

Your redeeming, sanctifying mercy." - Divine Intimacy

Life Matters

As we celebrate the feast of the Immaculate Conception, may

we model Mary’s trust in God.

“O Mary, Mother of Jesus and Mother of us all, we turn to you

today as the one who said "Yes" to Life. "You will conceive and bear

a Son," the angel told you. Despite the surprise and the uncertainty

about how this could be, you said yes. "Be it done unto me

according to your word." Mary, we pray today for all mothers who

are afraid to be mothers. We pray for those who feel threatened and

overwhelmed by their pregnancy. Intercede for them, that God may

give them the grace to say yes and the courage to go on. May they

have the grace to reject the false solution of abortion. May they say

with you, "Be it done unto me according to your word." May they

experience the help of Christian people, and know the peace that

comes from doing God's will. Amen. (Priests for Life)

Surrender: Status

Sunday, December 2, 7:30 to 9 pm

In high school we tend to put labels on the group of

These labels start to define us and we get lost in our

status. This week we will learn how to surrender that

status to stand up for who we are as individuals.

Surrender: Sin

Sunday, December 9, 7:30 to 9 pm

Sin is something that we have a hard time avoiding

completely. This week we will figure out what sins are

worse than others and how we can try to live our lives

to fight sin.

We need to work on our relationship with Christ

daily. We will take a look at how we can work on this

Are you called to be a Vincentian?

The Vincentian Rule defines the essential elements of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul as

“Spirituality, Friendship, and Service.” Part of our service is helping those in the community

with their needs.

In October 2012, Shrine Vincentians met with 65 clients (affecting 108 total family

members) at the Shrine or in our clients’ homes. We were able to provide:

• 13 clients with non-perishables from our food pantry (food donated by parishioners during food drives) or

fresh-food vouchers.

• 4 clients with rent assistance that avoided eviction.

• 1 client was helped with a medical prescription(s).

• We joined with 5 other SVdP conferences in helping their clients with rental needs.

• 12 clients with bus tickets or transportation assistance to job or medical appointments.

• 1 was added to our Thanksgiving basket list.

• 35 clients were referred to the appropriate social service agency, such as South Oakland Shelter, Easter

Seals, Michigan Department of Human Services, Section 8 Housing, or their local SVdP Conference among

other agencies.

(Note: some clients receive multiple forms of assistance)

The National Shrine St. Vincent de Paul is in need of new members who hear the call of St. Vincent and

Blessed Frédéric Ozanam to serve the less fortunate in our Parish and community. Being a Vincentian is never

easy, but nothing this fulfilling ever is. Do you have a morning or afternoon to meet clients and change their

lives?

Call the National Shrine SVdP at 248.541.4122 and ask to be connected to the St. Vincent de Paul office.

Grade School Happenings

Music Notes

Christmas is a time of beautiful music. Young children learn the classic carols that adults so lovingly sing

year after year. Older students share the gift of Christmas music with others. As we grow older the Christmas

music that has been a part of our lives year after year is deeply rooted in our memories of the season, forever

linked to special time spent with family and friends.

The first and second grade students at the Grade School have spent the past months preparing to present

a Christmas program to their families. While telling the Christmas story of Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethle-

hem and Jesus’ birth in the manger, the children lovingly share the traditional songs “Away in a Manger,” “The

First Noel,” “Joy to the World,” and others. In a meaningful way they learn the story and songs that we know

so well.

The fifth and sixth grade students who comprise Shrine’s choir, the Knights in Harmony, will present several

concerts this Christmas season. On December 4th

they will share the gift of music with the residents at Abbey

Nursing Home in Warren. The choir will perform beautiful Christmas music and then invite the residents to join

them in singing Christmas carols. And, as you can’t have Christmas without Christmas cookies, the parents

and children will bake cookies to share with the residents as well.

On December 19th

, the choir will perform a Christmas concert entitled “A Knight of Christmas Musings,” at

the Grade School. Music will include songs such as “What Can I Bring,” “Carol of the Bells,” “Walking in the

Air,” “We Need a Little Christmas,” and others. Parishioners are warmly welcome to join our audience of family

and friends at 6:30 pm in the gym.

Year of Faith

Council Quotes

“At all times and in every

race, anyone who fears God

and does what is right has

been acceptable to him. He

has, however, willed to make

men holy and save them, not

as individuals without any bond

or link between them, but rather to make them into

a people who might acknowledge him and serve

him in holiness…”a chosen race, a royal priesthood,

a holy nation…who in times past were not a

people, but now are a people of God.” (Lumen

Gentium 9)

How do I experience myself as an essential part

of my parish community of faith?

Prayer

O God, who have taught your people to love

you by loving our neighbor, grant us the grace to

be devoted to your entire family so that we may be

one people of faith. Through Our Lord Jesus Christ,

your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity

of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Amen. Pray for Vocations—31 Club

Adopt a Family for Christmas

As Christmas draws near, many local families are

struggling to meet direct financial needs – needs as

basic as food, prescription costs, rent, and utilities. The

families in need in our area represent every age and

ethnic origin, and reside in every county of the

archdiocese.

Catholics can give an especially meaningful gift

this year by “adopting” one of these families for

Christmas.

You can help by participating in the Adopt a

Family program sponsored by the Archdiocese of

Detroit’s Department of Parish Life and Services. Each

family in need has been screened by sponsoring

parishes and agencies and is identified by a number

to remain confidential. Donors may request their gift

be given to a specific family or evenly split between

all families. All funds collected will be distributed

through the sponsoring parish or agency, not directly

by the Archdiocese of Detroit.

To read about the families in need, or to learn more

about the program, visit the Web at www.aod.org/

adoptafamily, or call (313) 237-4696. Donations can

be made online through major credit cards. Those

wishing to donate by mail to the Adopt a Family

program should make checks payable to the

Department of Parish Life & Services. Send your

donation to the Department of Parish Life & Services,

305 Michigan Ave., 10th

Floor, Detroit, MI 48226. Be sure

to include your name and address if you would like to

receive an acknowledgement for tax purposes.

Year of Faith

Sts. Timothy and Maura from Egypt

Timothy lived in Penapeis at the Kemet Thebaid,

in the valley of the Nile. Both Timothy and his new

wife Maura studied scriptures. During the persecu-

tions of the Roman Emperor Diocletian, Timothy was

turned in to the authorities for teaching Christianity

in the community. He steadfastly refused to surren-

der the holy and sacred books, and sacred vessels.

The Thebaid Governor ordered hot iron spits through

Timothy’s ears. They brought his wife Maura to pres-

sure him into worshiping idols. Maura did not do so,

and declared herself ready to die for Christ at her

husband’s side. The Governor ordered all her hair

pulled from her head, and her fingers chopped off.

She was then placed into a boiling water cauldron,

but she suffered no harm from the boiling liquid. Fi-

nally Timothy and Maura were nailed side by side to

a wall, where the two consoled each other for nine

days until their death.
