The Season of Advent
Our Advent Wreath is ready for worship here at Blessed Sacrament Parish. There are no Christmas decorations because it is not Christmas. Advent is the time of preparation for Jesus's second coming. Pay close attention to the Scriptures assigned to the season. You will find my reflection in the Sunday video each week. Let us journey through Advent together. Peace be with you.
Fr. Bob Tywoniak
ADVENT
Regulars here recall this is the New Year of the Church. It is not Christmas Season regardless of the advertisements or decorations in the stores and online.
It is a period of preparation to celebrate the first coming of Jesus the King and of preparation for His second coming.
Thus, as practicing Christians, we might prepare for Christmas by making decorations or buying gifts. HOWEVER, we DO NOT decorate the house as though it is already Christmas. We decorate in the spirit of this season of anticipation. Prepare an Advent Wreath and use light purple colors around the house.
Thank you for properly observing the TRUE faith Tradition of Christianity.

Advent Evening Thursdays 7:00pm to 8:00pm
During the upcoming season of Advent we will worship the Lord in His Eucharistic presence, reconcile to the Lord and each other, and reflect on the New Year of Grace. This will occur each of the first three Thursdays of Advent beginning at 7pm and ending at 8pm.
Sacrament of Reconciliation
On the first Thursday, December 5thwe will have a Service of Reconciliation. We will examine our conscience, confess our sins and receive absolution.
Evenings of Reflection
On the second and third Thursdays, we will spend some reflective time before the Eucharist in Adoration and Benediction.

Home Activity Getting the Children Ready for Jesus
During this Advent we will read from the Gospel of Luke. Luke gives us messages from God like, “Prepare the way of the Lord!” In other words, “Get ready for God”.
As you get ready to celebrate Christmas day, remember that day is when we celebrate Jesus’ first coming into our world in the flesh. In your household you might do many things to get ready for that day. You might even make a list of things to do: write spiritual greetings or Christmas Cards to friends and family members, prepare special food to eat on that day, go to choir rehearsal to sing for the Lord, prepare gifts, etc.
How about this list: Ask the family members to write five ways you all can get ready for Jesus at the Christmas celebration. Call it the, “Get Ready for Jesus” list. Hang it in the kitchen or another prominent place in the house. For example, you may put on the list, “Go to the Evenings With the Eucharist each Thursday evening at 7pm during Advent.”
People without children may do this too!
