Holidays and seasonal transitions are important times for
reflection on what is important in our lives and defining a new
path. Consumerism is a major cause of the environmental issues that
we face. Recycling is great, but Reducing is best. At this time of
year, we are bombarded with advertisements encouraging us to buy
gifts and spend money on material things. All of these tangible
thing take energy and resources to produce which have long term
impact on the environment. Looking for ways to simplify your
Christmas?
The Catholic Free Press will be running an article on
alternative gift ideas. Complement your Advent wreath with a food
donation. Put a food item in a box each day of Advent and donate
the box to the food pantry on Christ-mas eve -

Awaiting His Presence
Dear Brothers and Sisters, With expectant joy we have prayed
together for four weeks as we await the celebration of Christmas
and the coming in glory of the Lord. Today’s liturgy turns our
attention to Mary. We learn from her that there is no better way to
ready our hearts than to serve those around us. May we, through the
intercession of Mary, be able to love God by serving one anoth-er,
and prepare our hearts for the upcoming celebrations by putting our
talents into the ser-vice of those in need. Love you all, Fr.
Juan
