Message from Fr. Joe
This weekend we begin a new Liturgical Year with the First Sunday of Advent, the beginning of the season in which Christians throughout the whole world prepare for
the celebration of the birth of our Lord Jesus. Yes, Advent is a season of preparation, waiting, and HOPE… hope for the birth of Christ and hope for the second coming and glorious return of the Lord in the fullness of time.
My dear parishioners, during this pandemic we need this gift of hope that only Christ can give. Our hope in Christ gives us the blessed assurance that all the struggles
we are experiencing during these trying times of the COVID-19 pandemic will one day
come to pass. This is our prayer, this is our wish and this is our hope.
And so, on this First Sunday of Advent as we light the first candle of the Ad-vent Wreath that signifies our “Hope” in the coming of Christ, let us also “Hope” and ask
the Lord to heal those who are sick and affected with the pandemic. Let us also “Hope”
and pray that this pandemic will come to an end so that we can move on with our lives
without fear and isolation.
Lastly, may we ask Christ for the Light of Hope to be upon us so that we too can bring that Light of Hope to those who are lost and to those who live in darkness.
Fr. Joe

First Sunday of Advent Isaiah 63: 16b-17, 19b; 64: 2-7, 1 Cor 1: 3-9
Mk 13: 33-37
Today’s readings remind us that waiting for the Lord is not a
passive exercise. Isaiah prays that God “might meet us doing
right,” rejecting our sinful ways. Jesus warns his disciples that
they must keep watch, because, like servants not knowing when
the lord of the house will return, we don’t want to be asleep
when we should be ready to receive him. Paul assures the Co-
rinthians that they “are not lacking in any spiritual gift” as they
wait. Let the word of God inspire us to prepare our hearts for
his arrival.

Look for God During Advent
Try to prepare for, reconnect with, and center on
the expected Savior during Advent.
The Advent Wreath
Traditionally, Advent wreaths are constructed of a
circle of evergreen branches into which four candles are
inserted, representing the four weeks of Advent. Ideally,
three candles are purple and one is rose, but white can-
dles can also be used.
The purple candles symbolize the prayer, penance,
and preparatory sacrifices and good works undertaken at
this time. The rose candle is lit on the third Sunday, also
known as Gaudete Sunday when the priest wears rose
vestments during Mass. Gaudete Sunday is the Sunday
of rejoicing, because we are at the midpoint of Advent,
when our preparations are half over and we are close to
Christmas.
On the first Sunday of Advent the appropriate Advent
prayer can be said as the candle is lit each day of the
week, followed by the blessing before meals, if you use
the wreath at meal time. The second Sunday two purple
candles are lit; the third Sunday, two purple and one
rose; and all candles are lit on the fourth Sunday.
Prayer for Lighting
The First Advent Candle
In the darkness we light a flame of hope. May it shine not only
upon our Advent Wreath but within each of our hearts as well.
Hope is the flower that blooms from the ground of faith. And
so with joy we keep the tradition of ages past as we encircle
our Advent Wreath with love and prayerful expectation. May
this Advent Season bring us a new birth of hope in the ancient
promises of God. Amen.

Bishop O’Connell: Proposed legislation targets most vulnerable human life
Most Reverend David M. O’Connell, C.M., Bishop of Trenton
The proposed New Jersey “Reproductive Freedom Act” (S3030 / A4848) is another legislative attempt to advance and expand the state’s “abortion agenda” in service to the widespread “culture of death” by eliminating the few remaining state
regulations intended to protect the life and health of pregnant mothers.
New Jersey already has some of the most permissive abortion legislation in the country. The “Reproductive Freedom
Act,” if passed, would guarantee a woman’s right to an abortion anywhere in the State of New Jersey. That is the “freedom” it
seeks to legislate.
Eleanor Roosevelt once wrote, “Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes great
responsibility.” The freedom to deliberately terminate at will and with full legal protection the life of an unborn child in the
womb brings with it a responsibility, an accountability, that is difficult to imagine, let alone justify.
The State of New Jersey has already legislated its disregard for human life from conception to natural death many times,
last year approving the “Death with Dignity Act” to help accelerate the end of life. The current proposed legislation, under the
guise of “reproductive freedom,” shifts that disregard to the earliest, most vulnerable stages of human life in the womb.
How many such deaths has that “freedom” brought in the United States since Roe v. Wade? How many more deaths will
this legislation bring about in New Jersey? With the freedom to terminate innocent human life in the womb, who bears respon-
sibility? Whose life is next?
November 19, 2020
Please oppose
“Reproductive Freedom Act”
On October 5th, the New Jersey Bishops released a statement rejecting the recent announcement of New Jersey to enact
a “Reproductive Freedom Act.” This legislation would make abortion legal in all nine months of pregnancy, remove any con-
science protection laws for the doctors and nurses involved and make it mandatory for all New Jersey insurance companies to
cover the abortions. The Bishops, in their statement said, “We urge all Catholics and people of good will to reject this pro-
posed legislative initiative in our State and to contact your State Legislators to vigorously express opposition to its passage.”
To reach our State Legislators call or email them asking them to vigorously oppose its passage.

Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacra-
ment. I love You above all things, and I desire to receive You
into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive You sacra-
mentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You
as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.
Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen

Pope Francis’ Prayer to Mary
During Coronavirus Pandemic
O Mary, you always shine on our path as a
sign of salvation and of hope. We entrust
ourselves to you, Health of the Sick, who at
the cross took part in Jesus’ pain, keeping
your faith firm. You, Salvation of the Roman
People, know what we need, and we are sure
you will provide so that, as in Cana of Galilee, we may return to joy
and to feasting after this time of trial. Help us, Mother of Divine
Love, to conform to the will of the Father and to do as we are told by
Jesus, who has taken upon himself our sufferings and carried our
sorrows to lead us, through the cross, to the joy of the resurrection.
Amen.
Under your protection, we seek refuge, Holy Mother of God. Do not
disdain the entreaties of we who are in trial, but deliver us from every
danger, O glorious blessed Virgin.
PRAYER FOR HEALING AND
PROTECTION AMIDST COVID-19 CRISIS
Lord Jesus, at your command, the sick were made well! Come to
our aid now, in the midst of the Global spread of the Corona Virus,
that we may experience your healing love.
Heal those who are sick with the Virus. May they regain their
strength. Heal us from our fear, which prevents us from working
together and with one another. Heal us from our pride, which can
make us claim invulnerability to a disease that knows no borders.
Stay by our side in this time of uncertainty, sorrow and fear. Be
with those who died from the virus. May they be at rest with you in
peace. Be with the families of those who are sick or have died. As
they worry or grieve, defend them from illness and despair.
Be with the medical professionals who seek to heal and put
themselves at risk in the process. Be with the leaders of all nations,
give them the foresight to act with charity and true concern for the
wellbeing of everyone.
Lord, stay with us as some of us mourn, as many of us try to
endure, persist, struggle and prepare. In place of our anxiety, give
us your peace.
Lord Jesus Christ, heal us and protect us. Amen

Lord, when did I see you sick?
The message from the lips of Jesus is clear, “Amen I say to you, when-
ever you did this for the least of My brethren, you did it for
Me.” (Matthew 25:40)
We often reflect on how we might reach out to others in the love of
God. Virtua Health is inviting you to find out opportunities we offer to
touch the lives of our Catholic patients who are sick and hospitalized.
We currently have a phone call ministry in which you will be able to
do just that. As part of this ministry you would reach out by phone and
offer a listening ear and, if they are open to it, lend support, pray, or
even lead the patient in a Spiritual Communion prayer. We provide
training for you.
If you think you would have the time (about two hours one day a week)
to make phone calls and to be there for others, please contact Chaplain
Mar ge Mc Gin l e y , P as to ra l Ca re D ep a r t men t a t
[email protected] or call 609-914-6365.
