FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT PAGE 3 NOVEMBER 27, 2011 Russo’s Reflections… I hope everyone had a safe, fun, relaxing and blessed Thanksgiving Day. Advent Season December is a very special time of the year. We begin the month with the Season of Advent, which also begins the new Liturgical Year of 2012. Throughout this year we will hear about the life of Christ from the Gospel of Mark, Cycle B. The Season of Advent has a two-fold character: as a season to prepare for Christmas when Christ’s first coming to us is remembered, and as a season when that remembrance directs our hearts and minds to await Christs’ second coming at the end of time. Advent is thus a period of devout joyful expectation. Advent is a time to recall the early Christians: Maranatha! “Come Lord Jesus!” Roman Missal III Priest: The Lord be with you. People: And with your spirit. This weekend Catholics in the United States and English speaking countries throughout the world welcome the new text, the 3rd edition of the Roman Missal that was promulgated by Pope John Paul II in 2000. We have been preparing for this day for almost a year now. Change is good. I realize most of us do not like change, however, if we do not change there will be no growth. Why the change One of the reasons is to have a more correct and precise translation capable of expressing the full meaning of the Latin text. Another, to foster a greater appreciation and love for the Eucharist in our own lives. The 3rd Edition of the Roman Missal is a great opportunity for all of us to be more attentive to the words we are reciting and gain a better understanding of the Mass. When talking about the new Roman Missal, please keep these words in mind: SAME MASS DIFFERENT WORDS DEEPER MEANING Have a blessed week! Fr.
