In In the the Spirit Spirit @ St. St. John John Neumann Neumann Parish Parish Hello to you all! IT’S MY OPINION AND I HAVE ONE! rrichards@stjohnneumann.us How is everyone doing? As you know last week we were suppose to have two nights of reflection—one for the men on Wednesday night, and one for the women on Thursday night. We ended up having to cancel the event as we only had 3 women sign up and no men. I am trying to figure out the reason. Last year when we had this event, we had 100 woman show up and 60 men! Both nights were very good and received well. This year we had two VERY good speakers coming in. Msgr. John Zenz was speaking to the women and Dr. Patricia Cooney Hathaway was speaking to the men! Both of these people are highly respected and phenomenal speakers. I am just trying to figure out why we had so little response since the first year went so well. Maybe you have some thoughts or opinions you could share with me. We are going to make an attempt to do this during Lent. I am going to see if these two speakers have any time during the Lenten season to speak and if so, we will get back to you with information come that time! This is also the 4 th and final Sunday of Advent. On this Sunday, we quietly reflect on the mystery of Advent. We rest in awe, in wonder, at how our God entered our world and came to be with us. We pause to receive the gift offered us: that the Spirit of God will open up our lives and that Jesus will really come into our hearts. May we have watchful hope today, believing what the Lord promises us. Let us pray today, that we might be God's servants, that we might be instruments of God's love for our families and all we serve this week. As you drive home ponder the following: Are you able to say without reservation, “be it done to me according to your word?” How is it possible to act with so much faith? When is this simplicity of spirit possible that recognizes of the gifts of Jesus and the correct path to follow? “Each of us has his own path to tread and it is more beautiful if it is offered by God. It is foolishness to want another one, and we incur pointless suffering if we insist on things that do not exist or on paths not made for us. To accept the Kingdom of Heaven within us means to accept the vocation that God prepares for us through the reality in which we live.” (Carretto, Carlo, The Desert in the City) Peace Fr Ron Richards St. St. John John Neumann Neumann Parish Parish Date Time Decorating the Church Thursday, December 22 7:00pm Christmas Eve Liturgies Saturday, December 24 4:00pm;6:00pm;9:00pm Christmas Day Liturgies Sunday, December 25 8:30am;10:30am;12:30pm Mary, Mother of God Liturgy Saturday, December 31 4:30PM Mary, Mother of God Liturgy Sunday, January 1 8:30am;10:30am;12:30pm Page 3
