St. Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle. Be our defense against the wickedness and snares of the Devil. May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly hosts, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan, and all the evil spirits, who prowl about the world seeking the ruin of souls. Amen.

The purpose would be to learn, admire, and participate in one of the great musical traditions of the Catholic Church. Each meeting would consist of looking at and singing a small selection of chant while engaging with what makes chant different from other musical forms. Snacks and drinks would follow which I will supply. The estimated time would be 45-60 minutes a meeting. Meetings would be held at 7:00pm on the last Wednesday of every month at 62 Old County Lane, Edwards. If you are interested, please contact me via email at [email protected] or speak to me in person.

Third Sunday of Advent My Olympic sport is worrying. I’m the best who ever played the game. What makes me particularly versatile is that, the very second one worry is resolved, I can leap immediately to the next one, and the next one. It’s an arrogant way to live, if you think about it. I never stop to give thanks when the first worry turns up solved. I call up the next one in the queue and begin massaging it, marinating it, simmering it over an endlessly warm burner. I look at every possible way things can go fatally awry. I’m pretty sure it’s up to me to keep the planets in their fixed orbits. When turbulence bounces the plane around I think I need to get up there and take over. Have no anxiety about anything, says Paul. Easy for him to say? Well, let’s see. Prior to his imprisonment in Rome (the location of this letter, probably around the year 62), Paul had been shipwrecked, snake-bit, stoned with rocks, and left to languish in prisons in Caesarea and Ephesus. Then, the grossly unstable Emperor Nero of Rome started his persecution of the early church two years after Paul was imprisoned there. One day—or was it night?—the Roman guards took Paul from his cell, and led him to the beheading block. Had he trembled in fear of this moment? Had he worried it to death all the years before it happened?
We know this: while in chains in Rome, St. Paul exhorted us to pray, and offer thanks, and tell God what we need. And then, he promised, the peace of Christ will guard us. I’ll bet it guarded him.
How is anxiety stealing my peace?

The Advent Candles
During the first two weeks of Advent we light the first two purple candles. The Third Sunday of Advent is called Gaudete (Rejoice) Sunday. On this day we celebrate that our waiting for the birth of Jesus on Christmas day is almost over. Rose is a liturgical color that is used to signify joy, so we light the single pink candle on the third Sunday of Advent. The key words for today are JOY and REJOICE! They show up in most of the scripture texts for the day and will probably be found throughout the liturgy. Children need to be reminded of the difference between joy and happiness. Happiness can be fleeting, e.g. having your favorite food for supper. Joy is deeper, more important to you, and can’t be taken away. Joy is knowing that your parents love you and will take care of you – always. Joy is knowing that you love your parents and will do all sorts of things to love them back. Joy is knowing that God is in charge of the world and is taking care of it – even when things are going all wrong at the moment. Sources: https://www.catholiccompany.com/getfed/the-advent-wreath-
