To do our part in this year of Eucharistic Revival, St. Hugh will celebrate the 40 Hours Devotion when the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed all day and night in the church, starting with a Solemn Opening Mass at 7 p.m. on Sunday, December 10.

We encourage you to commit to spend an hour of adoration with the Lord during those 40 hours. This plea especially goes out to those of you who do not regularly participate in Adoration, and in particular, to the men of our parish to come and adore the Lord during the night.  You can sign up for your hour of Adoration by visiting the designated website.

INTENTIONS OF THE HOLY FATHER FOR DECEMBER

FOR PERSONS WITH DISABILITIES

PRAYER INTENTION FOR THE WEEK

That we may prepare for the coming of Jesus, both at Christmas and at the end of time

A Sunday Reflection

First Sunday of Advent (Cycle B)

YOU DO NOT KNOW WHEN THE TIME WILL COME (MK 13:33).

Time flies! It seems like only yesterday we were preparing for Christmas, and now Advent is upon us again. The Church gives us the Advent season to begin our new liturgical year to make us aware of how fragile our lives are.

The world is in turmoil and many worry about whether we are in the end times. But we would do well to focus on our present and own end time. As the Gospel says, we do not know when the Lord is coming. “May he not come suddenly and find you sleeping” (Mk 13:36). These words sound frightening, but they are merciful for they call us to always be ready.

Isaiah in the first reading prays for the Lord to “rend the heavens and come down” (Is 63:19), and reminds us of His mercy, for He is “our father…we are all the works of your hands” (64:7).

As we begin this new Advent, let us keep watch and be open to the great mystery of God made man which we will celebrate in a few short weeks. May He find us ready and watching when He comes. Have a blessed Advent. Come, Lord Jesus!

To do our part in this year of Eucharistic Revival, St. Hugh will celebrate the 40 Hours Devotion starting Sunday, December 10, to thank the Lord for his many blessings to us individually and as a community, to make reparation for those who do not believe in this great gift, and to ask Him to make us grow in Faith, be firm in Hope and fervent in Charity.

Pope Benedict XVI speaks about… FAITH

(CATECHESIS, WEDNESDAY GENERAL AUDIENCE, OCTOBER 2012—FEBRUARY 2013.)
THE YEAR OF FAITH: THE REASONABLENESS OF FAITH (1)
NOVEMBER 21, 2012

Let us proceed in this Year of Faith bearing in our hearts the hope of finding all the joy there is in believing and of rediscovering the enthusiasm of communicating the truths of the faith to all. These truths are not a simple message about God… They express the event of God’s encounter with human beings… Faith leads to the discovery that the meeting with God enhances, perfects and exalts all that is true, good and beautiful that exists in man.
