The Fourth Sunday in Advent

Drop down dew from above, ye heavens, and let the clouds rain down the Just One; let the earth be opened and bring forth a Savior. (Cf. Isaiah 45: 8)

T H E I N T R O D U C T O R Y R I T E S ENTRANCE HYMN O Come, O Come, Emmanuel VENI EMMANUEL

PENITENTIAL ACT

I confess to almighty God and to you, my brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned, in my thoughts and in my words, in what I have done and in what I have failed to do,

(and striking their breast, they say) through my fault, through my fault, through my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints, and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for me to the Lord our God.

KYRIE Jean de Bournonville

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD FIRST READING 2 Samuel 7:1-5, 8b-12, 14a, 16

RESPONSORIAL PSALM Psalm 89 J. Robert Carroll

SECOND READING Romans 16:25-27

ALLELUIA

GOSPEL Luke 1:26-38 HOMILY

CREED I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven,

(all bow through “and became man”) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate he suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Over the course of the Christmas holiday, you will notice the presence of three men studying for the priesthood serving on the altar. In addition to our own Nicholas Magarelli who continues his pastoral year here at the Cathedral, we will also have Friar Thomas Fetz, OFM Conv. and Andy O’Leary. Both Nicholas and Andy are seminarians studying for the Diocese of Spokane and Thomas is a Franciscan. Friar Thomas Fetz was ordained a deacon on September 30, 2020 at the National Shrine of St. Maximilian Kolbe at Marytown, Illinois. He is the son of Cathedral parishioners Brian and

Colleen Fetz. He will be serving as a deacon and preaching at various Masses and I am happy to welcome him back to his home parish. Mr. Andy O’Leary is on his Christmas break from St. Patrick Seminary in Menlo Park, California. He will also be assisting around the parish for the next two weeks. Andy is scheduled to be ordained a deacon here at the Cathedral on May 29, 2021. He is a fine man and will be a great deacon and, God willing, a priest for our diocese. Mr. Nicholas Magarelli is, of course, continuing his pastoral work in our parish. He will be with us for another few months before he moves on to study theology. This has been a difficult year for him because of the COVID restrictions on personal interactions but he is doing a great job nonetheless. It is a blessing and an inspiration to have these men with us during Christmas. Please point out these future priests to your children (especially your sons) and pray together for them and an increase in vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life. Asking for the prayers of Our Lady of Lourdes, I remain, Sincerely yours in Christ, Fr. Darrin Connall, VG Rector

When the Cathedral installed a new sound system we linked it up with an app called “ Listen Everywhere”. This has been a great help to the people that need a little help hearing during Mass. Please contact Carolyn at cberry@dioceseofspokane.org or (509) 358-4290 ext. 3# for more information on how to connect!

Lighting the Advent Wreath

During the fourth week of Advent, the father prays: “O Lord, stir up Your power, we pray to You, and come; and with great might help us, that with the help of Your grace, Your merciful forgiveness may hasten what our sins impede. Who lives and reigns forever. Amen.” The father then lights all of the candles of the wreath.

Christmas Collection

The parish budget for this fiscal year

relies heavily on a $20,000 collection.

Since we cannot pass the basket at the

Christmas Masses this year, we are

providing three other options for

donations. First, envelopes and check

may be placed in the wall safe near the

elevator pavilion. Second, mail in

donations to the Parish Office. Third,

simply log on to our parish website at

www.SpokaneCathedral.com and click

on the DONATE button. Please consider

a generous gift at this difficult time.

Thank you!

F����+��� F�����! We would like to invite you to participate in a finance course that will change the way you live, relate to your spouse, and allow you to give generously! My name is Kevin Cary and together with my wife, Jami, we will facilitate a nine week course in Financial Peace University taught by Dave Ramsey. We've been members of the Cathedral of Our Lady of Lourdes for almost 11 years and would like to give back by teaching other people about FPU. Many years ago I was skeptical going into a big FPU LIVE event hosted at the convention center. I actually pulled Jami out mid-session and left because I thought we were listening to a guy hawking products! (“spend money to save money... just

buy my book and you'll be rich!”) I was really wrong! Later on, Jami read one of Dave's books and told me, “You'd better read this.” For the last 16 years we've followed the baby steps that Dave teaches about in FPU. It hasn't always been easy, but getting on a budget, sticking to it, and having shared goals we strive for means money isn't a stressor for us - and we really want to pass along that financial freedom to others. The first of nine sessions is Sunday, January 17th at 6:30 pm. For questions or to sign up, call (509) 863-4936 or email me at kevin.cary1@gmail.com.

Scriptural Reflection December 20, 2020 — Fourth Sunday of Advent

2 SM 7:1-5, 8B-12, 14A, 16; PS 89:2-5, 27, 29; ROM 16:25-27; LK 1:26-38

There are just five days left until the celebration of Christmas begins. Let’s live these last days of Advent well. We read in today’s Gospel passage from Luke the wonderful words of the Blessed Mother's “fiat,” her “yes” to God’s plan. “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word.” These are among the most beloved words in the Gospel. But the next sentence is also important for the Christian steward. After Mary’s fiat, we read, “Then the angel departed from her.” Our Blessed Mother was left with a lot of unexplained details about God’s plan for her! Yet, she followed God’s will perfectly. She gave herself and her life fully to God as a gift. She was the first disciple. We are called to follow her example today. This Christmas let us resolve to make our whole life a gift to the One Who has given us everything. He will give us all the help and strength we need.
