Living Our Faith
It’s obvious that Jesus didn’t run the message in today’s gospel by the marketing and public relations team. If he had, they probably would have asked him to tone down the mention of roaring seas, shaking the powers of heaven and people dying of fright. It’s not the type of message that resonates positively with people, especially nowadays as we are constantly told by society that we are entitled to be happy and comfortable at all times. This can make it easier to let down our guard and not practice our vigilance of faith as Jesus mentions. Jesus tells us in today’s gospel that while the door to our salvation is available to everyone, it is difficult to walk thru, especially for those who lapse in their faith or put it off to the future. Why does he warn us? Simply because he loves us and wants us to always be prepared to be with him. And that is wonderful news. The savior who humbled himself to become human among us wants to continue his relationship with each and every one of us for all eternity. As we begin this 2015 Advent season, why not spend a few extra minutes each day this week to thank God and ask him to help you stay focused and motivated to live a holy, Christian life.
Viviendo Nuestra Fe
Es obvio que Nuestro Señor Jesucristo no consultó con un equipo de mercadeo y relaciones públicas cuando quiso darnos el mensaje que escuchamos en el evangelio de hoy. Si lo hubiera hecho le hubieran dicho que suavizara el tono y no mencione eso del estruendo de las olas del mar, o el estremecer de los cielos, y las personas muriendo de terror. No es el tipo de mensaje que la gente recibe positivamente, especialmente hoy en día cuando la sociedad constantemente nos dice que debemos estar siempre cómodos y felices. Al oír este mensaje puede causar que relajemos nuestra vigilancia y no practiquemos nuestra fe como lo menciona Jesús. Jesús nos recuerda que mientras la puerta de la salvación esta abierta para todos, es difícil pasar por ella, especialmente para los que han dejado la práctica de su fe. ¿Por que nos da esta advertencia? Simplemente por que nos ama y quiere que estemos preparados para cuando llegue. ¡Que maravilloso! El Salvador que se humillo tomando la forma de hombre para estar entre nosotros quiere continuar esa relación con cada uno de nosotros para toda la eternidad. En cuanto empezamos esta nueva temporada de Adviento, tomemos unos minutes cada día para darle gracias a Dios y pedirle que nos ayude a estar enfocados y motivados a vivir una vida santa y Cristiana.

We will put them to use as soon as they arrive! Email stlouisfarmatx@gmail.com with any questions.

We will have an Adoration Ministry Information Meeting on Tuesday, December 1: one at 2:00 p.m. and one at 7:00 p.m. Currently, everyone who is a registered adorer who visits the Blessed Sacrament has a key code to enter our Adoration Chapel.

They make great gifts for special occasions, and especially for shut-ins and those who are ill and suffering. Proceeds from the sale of these blankets are generously returned to the parish for designated projects! Thank you for your past support of this parish ministry! PILGRIMAGE TO ITALY!
Look for brochures in the narthex tract racks! The trip takes place between December 27, 2016 to January 5, 2017.

ADVENT LESSONS AND CAROLS | On Monday,
November 30th at 7:00 pm, there will be a Service of Advent Lessons and Carols in the main church. If you’re familiar with our Lessons and Carols which precedes Midnight Mass, then you will love this service, in which the readings and the music follow a similar format, but touch on themes of Advent rather than Christmas. The service will last about 1 hour, and presents you with a prayerful way to commence the Advent season. CONCERT OF CZECH MUSIC | The
University Choir from UNT will present a concert of music by Czech composers, on Tuesday, December 1st at 7:00 pm in the chapel. This promises to be a really interesting event. Czech composers are generally under-represented in concerts, and they have produced some of the most beautiful music. A special feature will be the Christmas Mass setting by Jakub Jan Ryba (1765-1815). Be sure and get this on your calendar. Admission is free. AUSTIN CIVIC WIND ENSEMBLE CONCERT |
Saturday, December 12th, 7:30 p.m. in the main church. The ACWE returns for another Christmas Spectacular! Don’t miss this fun, family-oriented event, which has in a few short years become a tradition at our parish. Admission is free and open to the public. 5

•
Tuesday, December 1st: Chris Oelkers, organ, and Robert Laguna, trumpet.
•
Tuesday, December 15th: Storm Knien, organ (Director of Music at St. Albert Parish).
The concerts take place at 12:00 noon in the main church and are free. A nice hot lunch may be had in the parish hall afterward, for $7.00. BENEFIT CONCERT FOR DRIVE-A-SENIOR | Join us
Friday, December 4th, 7:30 p.m. in the main church, for this annual neighborhood benefit concert for Drive-a-Senior. The churches that support this community outreach to our senior citizens come together with Advent and Christmas music in a traditional celebration of ecumenical unity. Concert is free but donations are gratefully accepted and benefit this wonderful ministry. Drive-a-Senior (formerly North Central Caregivers) helps neighborhood shut-in seniors stay in their own homes, with volunteers offering regularly scheduled rides to doctors and grocery stores. Volunteers from all the supporting neighborhood churches give two-four hours a week in support of our seniors.
