Dear Parishioners,Next weekend we begin the season of Advent: our
journey to Christmas. This Advent the design of our parish “wreath” again
invites us to engage our imagination. Envision in your mind’s eye a pathway forward that joins together the four distinct, unjoined candles. Travel along as we light each candle in succession up to the manger, to the birth of Jesus at Christmas. Consider the sandals and the need for us to understand what it is to walk not only in our own shoes but those of others. Gaze upon the angel placed in our sanctuary as a reminder of how angels traditionally help to guide us on life’s journey.
As you do this, we ask you to consider and begin to discern how our parish community might best walk to-gether, making his paths straight.
The Pastoral Council listening sessions are a good place to start. What have you heard from your fellow parish-ioners during the session you attended? How have you felt and learned as you openly listened and shared? How might we deepen our sensitivity to walk in each other’s shoes? What steps might we take to become a parishioner -driven parish? What ideas might we incarnate for our parish to give birth to new light? How do we best invite those who have walked away from our Church to return? What shoes can we provide for them? In short, how do we make this Advent Season of waiting and preparation a time to renew ourselves and our parish community?
Creating a similar Advent “wreath” for your own home with four candles, sandals, an angel and an empty crib can further help your engagement with this spirit of renewal.
We will bless our “wreath” on the first weekend of Ad-vent and pray the following prayers as we light the can-dles:
Eternal God, pour forth your blessing upon us as we light the candles of this Advent wreath. May its growing brightness remind us of the approaching nearness of Je-sus, our Savior, so that on the day of His coming we may be found ready to take the bold and necessary steps to renew ourselves and our parish with your grace and bless-ing, in the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
First Sunday of Advent: Challenging God of light, as we prepare for the coming of Jesus, may our hearts and
Estimados Feligreses:El próximo fin de semana comenzamos el tiempo de
Adviento, nuestro camino hacia la Navidad.En este Adviento, el diseño de nuestra “corona” par-
roquial nos invita de nuevo a usar nuestra imaginación. Vean con los ojos de sus mentes un camino delantero que junta las cuatro velas desunidas. Viajen por ese camino al encender cada vela sucesivamente hasta el pesebre, al nacimiento de Jesús en Navidad. Piensen en las sandalias y nuestra necesidad de comprender lo que es caminar, no solo en nuestros zapatos, sino en los de los demás. Miren hacia el ángel colocado en nuestro santuario como el re-cuerdo de cómo los ángeles tradicionalmente ayudan a guiarnos en nuestro viaje vital.
Al hacerlo, les pedimos que piensen y comiencen a dis-cernir cómo nuestra comunidad parroquial podría mejo-rar su caminar unida, enderezando sus caminos.
Las sesiones de escucha del Consejo Pastoral en buen lugar para comenzar. ¿Qué han escuchado de sus co-fe-ligreses durante la sesión que asistieron? ¿Cómo se han sentido y qué han aprendido al haber escuchado abier-tamente y compartido? ¿Cómo podríamos profundizar nuestra sensibilidad de caminar en los zapatos de unos y otros? ¿Qué pasos deberíamos tomar para convertirnos en una parroquia impulsada por sus feligreses? ¿Qué ideas podemos encarnar en nuestra parroquia para dar a luz a una nueva luz? ¿Cómo podríamos mejorar la in-vitación a regresar a aquellos que se alejaron de nuestra iglesia? ¿Qué zapatos les podríamos dar? En breve, ¿cómo podemos hacer de este tiempo de Adviento de espera y preparación un tiempo de renovarnos y de renovar a nuestra comunidad?
Creando una “corona” de Adviento similar para nues-tros hogares con cuatro velas, sandalias, un ángel y un pesebre vacío, puede ayudarlos a conectarse aún más con este espíritu de renovación.
Bendeciremos nuestra “corona” durante la primera se-mana de Adviento y rezaremos las siguientes oraciones al ir encendiendo las velas:
Dios Eterno, derrama sobre nosotros tu bendición al encender las velas de esta corona. Que su brillo creciente nos recuerde la cercana aproximación de Jesús, nuestro Salvador, para que, el día de su llegada nos encuentre lis-tos a tomar los pasos audaces y necesarios para renovar-nos nosotros y nuestra parroquia con tu gracia y

(Professor of the Practice of Liturgy, BC School of Theology and Ministry). Drawing on ritual actions, liturgical symbols, prayer texts, and reflective commentary, Fr.
