A Pilgrim People: First Sunday of Advent Advent is a time of anticipation, but it is also a time when we move toward what we are anticipating. We go out to meet and to be met by our long-awaited fulfillment. We journey toward the mountain of God (Isaiah 2:2), toward the place where God dwells. On our journey, we are in the company of a multitude of peoples, of all nations and races. We are no longer strangers of enemies, but pilgrims together on our way to God. Heeding Paul’s admonition, we conduct ourselves properly, “not in rivalry and jealousy” (Romans 13:13). Such companionship in itself signals a new age. When will we arrive? We do not know for sure. Liturgically, we celebrate “God is with us” on Christmas. In real life, however, “at an hour you do not expect, the Son of the Man will come” (Matthew 24:44). For some, this not knowing is exciting; for others it is frightening. All we can do is “stay awake!” “Be prepared!” Even in our anticipation, God is with us; even in our struggles and anxiety. God is for us. And so we begin our journey toward eschatological fulfillment, convinced that just around the corner, we will meet God.

Father Phil’s Ramblings First Sunday of Advent November 28, 2004

First Sunday of Advent

Today is the beginning of a new liturgical year; this is the beginning of cycle A. But, liturgically, is this year all that new? Take today’s Gospel for example. It mentions Noah and how the flood came while people went about life. Haven’t we heard that story countless times? And no doubt, the readings we hear at Mass for the next year-full of weeks will be stories we’ve heard many times. So, what’s new about this “new liturgical year? We are. We are new people today. We’ve never before seen who we are today. And we’ve never had today to “be ready,” as the Gospel tells us. This day dawns on a new liturgical year and on us, a Church that is new every day. To-day’s Gospel says, “Always be ready.” We are.

(Taken from “Catechist” Magazine)

The Colors of Advent...Our parish uses a more blue-hued violet for the season of Advent to distin-guish it from the purple penitence in Lent. Both violet and the blue-hued violet are acceptable colors for the vestments worn during Advent and the 3 candles in

the Advent wreath. The 4th candle (which is lit on the third Sunday) is rose-colored to signify that the Advent season is half over. Christmas is coming soon and so we rejoice!

Christmas Sharing Gifts Are Due

Saturday, December 4th & Sunday, December 5th

ADVENT PRAYER...Mercifully hear, O Lord, the prayers of your people; that as they rejoice in the coming of your only-begotten Son according to the flesh, so when he comes a second time in his majesty, they may receive the reward of eter-nal life.

Gelasian Sacramentary, Collect for Advent

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

"People in love make signs of love," wrote our bishops in a document guiding the renewal of liturgical mu-sic. They were not merely urging us to sing at Mass, but suggesting that the song itself is a sign of the love of Christ. Love never expressed dies, as we know from experience. Flowers for no special reason, a caress, a hug, a turn around the dance floor, a note on the pillow or in the lunchbox, the aroma of fresh bread in the kitchen, all are signs of love's vitality. A significant treasure in our Catholic tradition is the place of the sacra-ments as signs of Christ's love. We can trace the sacraments back to scriptural sources, through centuries of history They are woven through family tradition and our own life story. Sacraments are the way Christ makes signs of love for the Church. For twenty centuries, God has spo-ken to us in the arena of the sacra-ments, and we have responded. James Field, (c) Copyright, J. S.

GIVE YOUR HEART A HUG!

BLOOD PRESSURE

SCREENING In The

Parish Activity Center on

Sunday, December 5th

8:00 AM—NOON

Isaiah predicts: “ He Will Settle Disputes Among Great Nations. They Will Hammer Their Swords Into Plows And Their Spears Into Pruning Knives. Nations Will Never Again Go To War, Never Pre-pare For Battle Again.” We read such statements from the Scriptures with not a little cynicism, do we not? The text is about 2700 years old. Have we learned anything in the ensuing time? Is peace still some sort of mystery hidden from humans and reserved only to seers and prophets? The words of Isaiah seem particularly relevant at this time in world history. I have lived for 64 years and cannot remember a time of “peace on earth to men and women of good will.” Our inept attempts at peace have led us to suppose that there must be some power of evil which stands and wags its thumb at God (in India the sign signifies contempt and disdain for one’s opponent - “Nya-nya-nya-nya-nyaaa-nya!” The evil is ours. God has not created it; God suffers it. It is ours: “and they shall be like gods!” How utterly pitiful would be our state if God had given us free-dom only to choose to do evil! But no, God has indeed created us in God’s own image. In one of my most favorite text from the Third Eucharistic Prayer, the Spirit says: “There we hope to share in your glory when every tear will be wiped away. On that day we shall see you, Our God, as you are. We shall become like you and praise you forever through Christ our Lord.” Advent is that time in the Church’s liturgical life - OUR LITURGICAL LIFE - when we are reminded that peace is a real passion as a young person desires to become an adult. Or as a seed desires to become the flower or fruit it was in-tended to become. Peace must be hoped for and believed in. Loving all the peo-ples of the world must be a possibility, otherwise, God set us an impossible task, a strange sort of Divine Comedy. An image comes to mind spontaneously: Re-member Jackie Gleason’s character, the “Poor Soul”? He was always put into outlandish situations where he had to perform tasks beyond his capabilities. There was a humor in watching him struggle to work on some assembly-line or other, trying desperately to keep up with the demands of the particular job. Are we, then, some sort of “poor souls,” given the task to bring peace to the world which is totally beyond our resources and potential? How utterly comedic and poignant! To dance the dance of the Prince of Peace - the ingenuousness of a God Who will not be thwarted! PEACE IS! We do not bring it about. We recognize it in our midst; we become aware of it and it arouses us to passionate loyalty. It is a PERSON. It is GOD MARRIED TO US - THE PEACE OF CHRIST. A dear friend passed this on to me and I simply cannot resist passing it on to you: “Life is not a journey to the grave with intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - WOW! WHATTA RIDE!” The victory has been won. Sit back and enjoy the ride. Shalom - Salaam - Peace! Father Bob Grib, S.J. RCIA Moderator

Christmas Sharing Program Saturday, December 4th & Sunday, December 5th

Next weekend, slips are available in the back of church for our annual Christmas Sharing Program at St. Juliana Parish. Our Christmas Sharing Program began 23 years ago and

has grown each year. It is a wonderful way of sharing Christmas gifts with those less fortunate than ourselves. This year we will again have the opportunity to help people at three different lo-cations. 1. Babies of teenage mothers and fathers who are involved in the Roseland

Adolescent Parent Program. 2. Men and women who are helped through the Catholic Charities Shelter Pro-

gram. 3. Children (ages 13 and younger) who are part of the PYD (Positive Youth

Development) Program at Ascension-St. Susana Parish at 153rd & Ashland, in Harvey, Illinois, which is one of our Sharing Parishes.

The choice of slips you may take will be as follows: man, woman, child, baby boy, baby girl and/or food (which will be distributed between Roseland Center and Ascension-St. Susanna). We ask that the gifts be NEW. The dollar amount is up to you, but we suggest at least $10. Food items should be non-perishable, but hams are gladly accepted. Food and gift certificates are also great gifts. Gifts and food should be brought to the Ahearn Activity Center the weekend of December 4th and 5th. They will be delivered that Sunday afternoon and early the following week. Thank you in advance for your continuous generosity.

Joyful Now - Christmas Party!!!!!

Snow Shoveling - Added Information! Every year we have a group of seventh and eighth graders from our school that volunteer to shovel snow. They eagerly sign up for this project in the fall and look forward to serving those in our parish who need their walks shoveled. Some questions asked when parishioners call are these: when will there be notification that a student is assigned, boys vs. girls shoveling snow, and is there is any kind of fee involved. Mrs. Lidgus, a teacher at St. Juliana has been extremely generous with her time in gathering students who would like to shovel snow. In October she obtains a list of seventh and eighth graders who would like to provide this service. When parishioners start calling about snow shoveling, students who live nearest to the parishioner are matched to provide the service. The student is asked to con-tact the parishioner before the snow falls and together arrangements are made as to when he/she should come to shovel. We cannot guarantee boys or girls to shovel snow. It is most disheartening when a student goes to make arrangements and are told they are not wanted because they are female and may not be strong enough to shovel. A student is usually assigned to shovel for one person. Please let us know if you have a large area to shovel, then two students will be assigned. Students shovel after school has ended for the day, they cannot come before the school day starts. If neighbors will be shoveling please let the student know so they can be put back on the snow shoveling list for someone who has no one to shovel for them. Concerning our students getting paid: Parishioners who call want to give our stu-dents some kind of gratuity. This is strictly up to your discretion and should be discussed when the student contacts you. When you call, I can discuss with you what the students usually receive. Please note that it is impossible to have someone shovel for you on the day of a snow storm on weekends or on holidays when students are not in school. It is im-portant to be put on the snow shoveling list now before the snow falls. All requests for snow shoveling should be called in by the end of November. If you are interested in this service please call Joyce Browne at the parish office.

It’s That Time Again!

To be included on the 2004 year end statement, all donations must be in BEFORE January 14th. Your cooperation is necessary and much appreciated.

12-Step Mass December 5th - 5:00 pm

St. Juliana Chapel Coffee &...to follow

The 12-Step Mass takes place on the first Sunday of every month.

RAINBOWS...St. Juliana school will be offering the RAIN-BOWS program this year. A child is affected by the loss and change that occurs when there is a separation, divorce, remarriage, death of a parent or sibling, blended families or adop-tion. The aim of this program is to furnish our children and ado-lescents with an understanding of their new family unit, to assist in building a stronger sense of self esteem, and to direct them to-ward a healthy resolution of the changes that have taken place in their personal lives. Every human being, no matter their age, needs and deserves to be supported as they experience changes in their life. The most compassionate response is to of-fer guidance and direction during their journey toward acceptance of their loss. This is the founda-tion that Rainbows was built on. We plan to have a series of 12 group meetings with a trained facilitator provided by RAIN-BOWS, to be held after school on Mondays, beginning the week of December 6th. If you are interested in this pro-gram for your child or you have any further questions please call Diana Laske as soon as possible at 773.631.2256.


Students Take Journey Through the Universe From the comfort and security of the school gym, the students at St. Juliana School were able to take a journey through the universe. On October 29th Mobile Productions arrived at the school and assembled a 15 foot dome in the school gym. Throughout the day students in grades 3 through 8 were able to attend presentations in the “star filled” dome. The program narrator guided them through the stars of the Northern Hemisphere where the students were able to see constellations as they would appear in the sky that night. Students learned how to identify constellations. “I really liked the part where they told us about Greek Mythology and how the constellations were named,” said sixth grade student Jason Raia. The students also were able to view the night sky as it presents itself in different seasons. After enjoying this educational and entertaining program from Mobile Productions, the students are now looking forward to Janu-ary 24, 2005 when Mobile Productions will be back at St. Juliana School to pre-sent “Martin Luther King Jr.”
