RECTORY OFFICE HOURS: Monday—Friday 9:30 AM—3:30 PM DECEMBER 21, 2014 FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT The Lord … will establish a house for you. (2 Samuel 7:11) Imagine David’s surprise when God denied his request to build a temple but promised instead to build a house for David—a royal dynasty that would never end! Like David, we often think that human hands can build a house for God. We think if we spend enough time accomplishing tasks in our churches or doing enough charitable works, we can establish His kingdom on earth. We tend to forget that the Christian life has just as much to do with humbly receiving unmerited grace from a powerful and generous God. We tend to forget God’s greatest desire—to build his personality, his priorities, and his passions within us. There is a wonderful story about the late Vietnamese cardinal Nguyen Van Thuan who, while still a young bishop, was arrested and imprisoned by his government. Van Thuan was so devastated at not being able to complete the projects that he had started for God that he went nights without sleeping. Then one night he heard a voice saying, “Everything you have done and desire to continue doing … are God’s works, but they are not God. Choose God and not the works of God.” These words changed Van Thuan’s whole way of thinking. He found a new peace and strength to surmount moments in prison that were almost unbearable. In his book, Testimony of Hope, Cardinal Van Thuan referred to Mary as a prime example of choosing God and not the works of God. “She abandoned her projects without fully understanding the mystery that was being accomplished in her body and in her destiny.” By her fiat, Mary allowed God to build within her a house for Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords. May we follow her example and let God build his house within and among us. “Jesus, I surrender to you. Come and dwell within me, so that I may give you glory.” With permission of the Word Among Us, Copyright 2014 Saturday December 20 5:00 Patrick Murphy & Louis & Mary DePaolo Sunday December 21 7:30 Robert Rieger 9:30 Andrew Marrone 11:30 Brian Clark 5:00 Philomena Schordine Monday December 22 6:45 The People of St. Martin de Porres 12:15 Dr. Robert Furlong Tuesday December 23 6:45 Kathleen Sullivan 12:15 Daniel Pinto Wednesday December 24 Christmas Eve 9:00 James & Julia Dlubach 4:00 James & Kathleen Sullivan 6:30 The Murphy & Teeling Families 10:00 The Karrott Family Thursday December 25 Christmas Day 7:30 Louis Barone 9:30 The Franco & Socha Families 11:30 Deceased Members of the Knights of Columbus NO 5:00PM MASS Friday December 26 6:45 Steven & John Amarillo 12:15 George McGrath Saturday December 27 8:00 Tony Sileno 5:00 Anne Healy Sunday December 28 7:30 John & Carmella Marcus 9:30 Gerry Maggiacomo 11:30 Jagdish Das 5:00 Mildred Reddy Please note the morning Mass on December 24th will be at 9:00am.

Thenceforth, the road to Emmaus has opened up before us - a road that, while perhaps lengthy and sometimes even rugged, is nonetheless irreversible - with the Lord as our companion, until he is revealed to us 'in the breaking of bread' (Luke 24:35)."
