Traces of Grace
“HAPPY NEW YEAR!”
Perhaps you’re thinking that I’m a little ahead of schedule, but we Catholics celebrate a new year on the
first Sunday of Advent. And I’ve made a new year’s resolution: I’m changing my preaching style in or-
der to teach about a topic that is central to our experience as Catholics: the Mass itself.

The main reason I’m doing this is because in the United States, and in every English-speaking country in the
world, some of the language of the Mass is going to change next Advent 2011. The recommendation has
been made that prior to these changes, now would be a good time to teach the people about the Mass, the
parts of the Mass, what we do and why we do it, and how to get more out of it.

And I heartily agree! Although changes in the liturgy are bothersome and distracting to many, I believe this
is a great opportunity to think about what we do every time we gather for Mass! Honestly: since the Mass was
first translated into English, Catholics have been saying the same thing for 40 years. We’re so used to it
that we can easily recite things from memory without really thinking about what we’re doing! But now with
some changes coming, we have a chance to stop and think about how we celebrate Mass, and maybe with
some information and deliberate study of the Mass and its parts, we might actually get more out of the
Mass than ever before!

I’m not going to focus much on the changes yet, however. We have a year to prepare for that. My point is
that my preaching style is going to be a bit different, more instructional with notes and quotes, and even
multimedia. We have seven English Masses: 6 at St. Ed’s and 1 at San Felipe – I will be giving the same pres-
entation seven times and as I rotate through the weekend Mass schedule I will give the next installment in
the sermon series. I don’t know how long this will last, but I’m looking forward to sharing the Church’s
teachings and my own thoughts on the central experience of our Faith: the worship of God in Christ
through the ritual of the Eucharist!

“CHRISTMAS COMES BUT ONCE A YEAR”
MAKE THIS A GIVING CHRISTMAS
We are once again rapidly ap-
proaching the glorious celebra-
tion of Christmas. We are
happy to announce our seven-
teenth annual Giving Tree which
will be in the Church, beginning
with the 5:30 PM Mass on De-
cember 4. In place of the usual
Christmas decorations, the Tree
will be decorated with envelopes
containing the names of needy
families in our community. If
helping a family this year will enrich your Christ-
mas, this is the perfect opportunity.
Inside each envelope are the names of family mem-
bers and ages of the children. You may choose any
envelope. Usually food is provided so the family
can prepare their Holiday meal, plus gifts for the
family, especially the children. Do what feels right
for your family and experience the joy of a truly
Giving Christmas.
Please contact the family in advance to get an idea
of their needs and verify ALL information listed in
the envelope. There are names and phone num-
bers of Spanish interpreters with the family infor-
mation that can assist you as needed.
It is also VERY important that you enter all infor-
mation into the Christmas Giving Tree Book on
the table by the tree.
Another option is to choose an envelope from our
other Tree. You may donate scrip, cash or checks
which will be used to provide food and necessities
to needy families. There will be a box in the
Church office for these donations. We will also
have a Toy Bin in Church throughout the Advent
Season. All toys should be new or hand crafted
and left unwrapped.
The Giving Tree can be one way this Christmas
for you and your family to glorify the Lord. In the
words of Jesus, “Whatever you do to the least of
my brethren, you do unto me”.
