December 4th, 11th, & 18th. Our Annual Taize Penance service will be on
Tuesday, December 18th.
THE PROMISE OF JUSTICE We are in fairly good company when we ask God for justice. Often enough we hear and agree with the lament of the people of Israel asking God why the wicked prosper. However, when we call out for justice, we usually want someone to get his or her comeuppance. God ’s justice is something other than this, of course. God s’ justice comprises a
wonderful rightness between God and humankind. Today, Jeremiah looks ahead to a time when a just one will sprout from the shorn-off stump of Jesse of the house and family of David. Life was not fair in Jeremiah ’s time. Israel ’s kings held the promise of God ’s fidelity, but it was difficult to see how God ’s
promise could be realized through them. Nevertheless, Jeremiah lifts his voice and
announces that the Promised One will come. Luke ’s Gospel echoes that announcement, and
Paul is filled with sturdy encouragement. And so Advent begins with a promise.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Occasionally, someone raises a surprised complaint that while Christmas arrives on Santa s sleigh at the Macy s parade on Thanksgiving Day, the Church doesn t catch
on too fast. They may even say that Advent is a new-fangled idea. Not so. To trace its beginnings, we have to go back to the fourth or fifth century in France (then Gaul), when Epiphany was the favored day, next
to Easter, for baptism. The old pagan structures of Rome were collapsing then, and many people sought to be baptized. Since adults always prepared for baptism by fasting, folks counted back a few weeks for a kind of
retreat. Before too long, bishops were advising everyone to attend church frequently beginning on December 17.
Soon, artists were imagining ways of expressing the Advent mystery, and in Italy this gave rise to beautiful
mosaics of empty thrones awaiting the arrival of the Lord of all creation.
Advent as we know it develops on two separate tracks: the first having to do with our spiritual preparation for
celebrating the Christmas feast, and the second having to do with the way this is organized and expressed in the liturgical readings and prayers every day of the season.
Volunteer to be a Liturgical Minister
Have you thought about serving the church as a Lector, Eucharistic Minister or Usher? MHT is in need of many
more volunteers to serve in the liturgical life of the parish. Training and guidance is available. If you are in-
terested in serving God and your faith community here at MHT, please contact the Parish Office at 520-884-9021..
