Mass Readings – Saturday of the 1st Week of Advent (St. Francis Xavier)
As Jesus looked with pity on the people in their need, he not only served them but he empowered and directed his disciples to do the same. As we look to the Lord for guidance and strength we also remember the command to love and serve those entrusted to our care.

Mass Readings – Thursday of the 1st Week of Advent
In the Gospel of Matthew the Lord reminds us that our faith requires both speech and action – where our words and deeds consistently reveal to others our trust in Jesus Christ.
Note: this picture was taken on my recent visit in Rome. It is Jesus in the central apse of St. Paul Outside the Walls Basilica.

Mass Readings – Feast of Saints Simon and Jude, Apostles
After spending the night in prayer, the Lord called 12 disciples by name and chose them to be Apostles. Christ continues to call disciples (with imperfections included!) to be transformed in faith and sent into the world that we might offer our lives and proclaim the Good News.

As we celebrate Mary’s birth, we recall that she herself was part of a vast extended family. As she brought Jesus into the world, she offers us an example – that we might continue to bring the Good News of Jesus Christ to those in our lives.
