ADVENT CHALLENGE: Celebrate the Ember Days this week! Although once common for Catholics, the ancient observance of Ember Days is now an optional (and often unfamiliar) practice. Four times each year, connected with the four seasons and the liturgical calendar, we set apart three days (Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday) for fasting, abstinence, and prayer. The Ember Days related to winter and Advent begin after the Feast of St. Lucy. On these days, we fast (eating only one main meal), abstain from meat on Friday, and pray. Celebrate the Ember Days this week as a way to go a little deeper into your Advent spirituality. Make additional time for prayer or spiritual reading and prepare your heart for Christmas with a “fast before the feast.”

The Solemnity of the Blessed Virgin Mary
“We never give more honor to Jesus than when we honor his Mother, and we honor her simply and solely to honor him all the more perfectly. We go to her only as a way leading to the goal we seek – Jesus, her Son.”
~ Saint Louis Marie de Montfort

Please pray!

A Request for Prayers: We join with Pope Francis in asking all Catholic faithful in the Archdiocese of Milwaukee and throughout the world to unite in prayer for Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI as his health is declining. May our Lord Jesus Christ comfort him, and when it’s his time grant him a peaceful passing to his eternal reward. – Archbishop Jerome Listecki, Auxiliary Bishop James Schuerman & Auxiliary Bishop Jeffrey Haines

A prayer to St. Gerard Majella, the patron of expectant mothers, from Archbishop Listecki:

Dearest St. Gerard,
Throughout your religious life,
you sought to serve God’s will
by helping the poor, the sick, and mothers in labor.

As a humble servant of God,
your prayers for expectant mothers helped ease the dangers and excessive pains from childbirth.

Help us to accompany pregnant mothers who experience difficulties of any kind.

Let us work to be beacons of hope, love, and compassion for both mother and child.

We ask that you guide us in serving God’s will by making our parish a safe haven where all life is respected with the dignity given by God, the Creator of all life.

Amen

Saint Pio of Pietrelcina, was a Capuchin Catholic priest from Italy. He was born Francesco Forgione, and given the name Pius when he joined the Capuchins, thus he is popularly known as Padre Pio. He became famous for bearing the stigmata. He also had the gift of reading souls and the ability to bilocate, among other supernatural phenomena. On 16 June 2002, he was canonized by Pope John Paul II.
