Here is your God,

with vindication;

With divine

recompense

he comes

to save you.

Then will the eyes

of the blind

be opened,

The ears

be cleared;

Then will the lame

leap like a stag,

then the tongue

of the mute

will sing.”

Anointing of the Sick

Anointing of the Sick is for all those who are in danger due to sickness or old age. Anointing confers forgiveness of sins, conforms us to Christ who suffered, and comforts us with his healing grace. It can be repeated for each illness or when con-ditions worsen. Anointing will be availa-ble after all Masses December 21 & 22.

STA/HNM Parish Offices will be

closed Monday, December 23, -

Friday, December 27, for Christ-

mas Holiday. And the Parish Of-

fices will be closed Tuesday, De-

cember 31, and Wednesday, Janu-

ary 1, for the New Year Holiday.

Are you or someone you know expecting? At the STA & HNM weekend masses, De-cember 21-22, the Blessing of the Child in the Womb will be given at the end of each mass. Please consider coming forward for the blessing. The parish community re-joices with you at the gift of your new child! In addition to the mothers, the fa-thers and other family members are also included in the prayer of blessing. Anyone can receive this blessing anytime thru-out the year, please contact the Parish Office at 270-692-3019.

Marriage Moments As we approach Christmas, it's easy to be-

come "busy-holics" and race to prepare deco-

rations, presents, and food. When feeling

stressed with yourself or your spouse, pause,

take a deep breath, and "Be patient." (James

5:7)

Parenting Pointers Tomorrow, Dec. 21, is the longest night of the year - and

not only because kids are getting antsy about Christmas.

Celebrate the darkness with candles. Perhaps make a

"pilgrimage" through your home carrying a candle and re-

flecting on the holiness of each room and person.

Please Pray for the Sick

Please call the Parish Office (270-692-3019, ext. 6) to request for someone to added to this prayer list.

Thanks!

Third Sunday of Advent

“Strengthen the feeble hands, make firm the feeble knees. Say to those who are of a fearful heart: Be strong, fear

not!... Your God will come and save you.” Isaiah 35:3-4

Saint Theresa of Avila reminds us that Christ has no body on earth but ours, no hands but ours, no feet but ours. When the

weak and fearful come into our lives, it is through our hands and our works that they are healed. God works through us when

we accept the challenge.
