SAINTS PETER & PAUL GIVING TREE!
Welcome to the holy season of Advent! We hope that we can
journey together

again knocking on the doors of your hearts to participate in our
annual “Giving Tree” project. We invite you to please take an
ornament from the “Giving Tree” located next to the Sacred Heart
shrine. When you do so, please drop your unwrapped donation
directly to the parish office. Thank you in advance for your
gener-ous support! God Bless!

Saints Peter & Paul Tucson, AZ
Fourth Sunday of Advent “Where does God dwell?” is a question on
the minds of many as we continue to adjust to the pandemic. David
wanted to build an ornate dwelling for the Ark of the Covenant, but
God said, “No, that’s not what I had in mind!”
The reading from Romans teaches us that God is present in the
Word, and in Luke’s Gospel passage today, Jesus is residing in the
womb of Mary. We know that Jesus is present in the assembly
gathered, the Koinonia, as well as within the Eucharistic species.
But no matter how one experiences the presence of Jesus, these days
are challenging. In many places, only limited numbers contin-ue to
be allowed in church, while others are only able to worship via
live stream. None of the pat answers to where God dwells really
fit. We need to try and answer this with new eyes and ears and
heart. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
On behalf of Fr. Crino, Fr. Bala, Fr. Justin, and all of us here
at
Saints Peter and Paul Parish, we wish you and your families
a
Merry Christmas.

Gracious Lord, Child of Bethlehem
Gracious Lord, Child of Bethlehem, As you were born into a
family who fled to Egypt as refugees, help us grow in solidarity
with refugees everywhere, to know we are all refugees, until our
hearts find refuge in you. As you were born under an oppressive
regime, let us grow in solidarity with those whose governments deny
them their rights and try to undermine their dignity. Help us work
for just governance every-where. As it was workers, the shepherds,
who first came to know you, the carpenter’s son, let us remember
the dignity of human labor—that you share a special love for those
who work hard for their sustenance, and toil beside them. Let us
honor you, in work and in prayer, that livelihoods may be secure,
and that workers not be exploited. As you were adored by the Magi
who came from far-off nations to honor you, let us bring to all
nations the great good news that is your love. As your coming was
joyfully sung by angels, let us with joy celebrate the gift of life
every time a child of God is conceived, and honor that gift with
our care. As you were denied any birthplace but a stable, help us
to open our homes, our lives, our hearts to the coming of God and
his presence in your people. Be born this time into our hearts,
dear Lord. Gracious Lord, Child of Bethlehem, through the cradle of
our hearts, be born into our world.

Fourth Sunday of Advent ~ December 20, 2020 Ss. Peter & Paul
Parish
A NOTE FROM YOUR PASTOR
Dear Parishioners,
It is Christmas week. I hope the countdown to the 25th of
December is
peaceful for you. Despite all that 2020 throws at us, Dr. Seuss
is right. The Grinch
cannot stop Christmas from coming. “Then the Grinch thought of
something he
hadn't before! What if Christmas, he thought, doesn't come from
a store. What if
Christmas...perhaps...means a little bit more!”
We can each name a Grinch from this year. It might be poor
health,
unemployment, quarantine, education challenges, politicians,
wildfires, violence,
and more. They are all real, all burdensome. Yet, nothing can
ever come between
us and the love of God made visible in Christ Jesus our Lord.
[Romans 8:38]
That is the point of the Incarnation. God is with us in this
fallen world,
countering the effects of sin. We sing it in the English
carol:
From God our heavenly Father a blessed angel came;
And unto certain shepherds brought tiding of the same;
How that in Bethlehem was born the Son of God by name.
“Fear not, then,” said the angel, “Let nothing you affright;
This day is born a Savior of a pure Virgin bright,
To free all those who trust in him from Satan’s power and
might.”
O tiding of comfort and joy, comfort and joy;
O tiding of comfort and joy.
A Blessed Christmas to you and yours,
Father Patrick M. Crino
Pastor
