For the fourth Sunday of Advent and you still need to go to a Christmas Mass but as we begin as we continue with our national Eucharistic Revival um our reading today is from St Charles the Fuko he was a priest and a Hermit um who died in
1916 and he said 30 years ago today I made my first communion and received my God for the first time this is the first time that I celebrate Holy Mass on that day what Graces I have received in these 30 years how good God has been how many
Times have I received Jesus with these unworthy lips and lo here I hold him in my poor hands he puts himself into my hands and now I officiate at an oratory night and day I have the Holy Tabernacle I possess it so to speak as mine alone now every morning I consecrate the
Holy Eucharist and every evening I give benediction with it in the name of the father and of the son and of the Holy Spirit amen the Lord be with you your spirit father as we begin this Holy Mass we pray that we would feel the effects of your mercy in
Our lives and share that Mercy with all those we meet and so let us now ask for the Forgiveness of the Lord trusting in Him and so my brothers and sisters let us acknowledge our sins and so prepare ourselves to celebrate the sacred Mysteries I confess to almighty God and to you my
Brothers and sisters that I have greatly sinned in my thoughts and in my words in what I have done and what I have failed to do through my fault through my fault through my most Grievous fault therefore I ask blessed Mary ever virgin all the angels and Saints and you my brothers
And sisters to pray for me to the Lord our God May almighty God have mercy on us forgive us our sins and bring us to everlasting Life and let us pray pour forth we beseech you oh lord your grace into our hearts that we to whom the Incarnation of Christ your son was made known by the message of an Angel May by his passion and cross be brought to the glory of his resurrection who
Lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit God forever and ever amen a reading from the second book of Samuel when King David was settled in his Palace and the Lord had given him rest from his enemies on every side he said to Nathan the prophet here I am
Living in a house of Cedar while the Ark of God dwells in a tent Nathan answered the king go do whatever you have in mind for the Lord is with you but that night the Lord spoke to Nathan and said go tell my servant David thus says the Lord should
You build a house for me to dwell in it was I who took you from the pasture and from the care of the flock to be commander of My People Israel I have been with you you wherever you went and I have destroyed all your enemies before you and I will make you
Famous like the great ones of the earth I will fix a place for My People Israel I will plant them so that they may dwell in their place without further disturbance neither shall the wicked continue to afflict them as they did of old since the time I first appointed
Judges Over My People Israel I will give you rest from all your enemies the Lord also reveals to you that he will establish a house for you and when your time comes and you rest with your ancestors I will raise up your Heir after you sprung from your loins
And I will make his kingdom firm I will be a father to him and he shall be a son to me your house and your kingdom shall endure forever before me your throne shall stand firm forever word of the Lord thanks be to God responsorial Psalm forever I will
Sing the goodness of the Lord the promises of the Lord I shall shink I will sing forever through all generations my mouth shall Proclaim your faithfulness for I have made a covenant with my chosen one I have sworn to David my servant forever I will confirm your posterity and establish your throne for
All generations for he shall say of me you are my father my God the rock My Savior forever I will maintain my kindness toward you and my Covenant with him stands firm a reading from the letter of St Paul to the Romans brothers and sisters to him who can strengthen you
According to my gospel and the proclamation of Jesus Christ according to the revelation of the mystery kept secret for long ages but now manifested through the prophetic writings and according to the command of the Eternal God made known to All Nations to bring about The Obedience of Faith to the only
Wise God through Jesus Christ be glory forever and ever amen word of the Lord thanks be to God for the Lord be with you with your spirit a reading from the holy Gospel According to Luke glory to you oh Lord the angel Gabriel was sent from God
To a town of Galilee called Nazareth to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph of the House of David and the virgin’s name was Mary and coming to her he said hail full of grace the Lord is with you but she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered
What sort of greeting this might be then the angel said to her do not be afraid Mary you have found favor with God behold you will conceive in your womb and bear a son and you will name him Jesus he will be great and will be called son
Of the most high and the Lord God will give him the Throne of David his father and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever and of his kingdom there will be no end but Mary said to the angel how can this be since I have no relations
With a man and the angel said to her in reply the holy spirit will come upon you and the power of the most most high will overshadow you therefore the child to be born will be called holy the Son of God and behold Elizabeth your relative has also
Conceived a son in her old age and this is the sixth month for her who was called Barren for nothing will be impossible with God Mary said behold I am the handmade of the Lord may it be done to me according to to your word then the angel departed from
Her the gospel of the Lord prise good morning Mary said behold I am the handmade of the Lord may it be done to me according to your word in this biblical story Mary is totally open to the will of God Mary accepts God’s offer to become the mother of his
Son the story of Mary’s yes to the Lord reminds me very much of the Old Testament story of the call of Samuel the Lord calls out to the young Samuel and Samuel keeps going to the prophet Eli thinking that it was Eli who was calling him finally Eli understood that the Lord
Was calling the youth so he said to Samuel go to sleep and if you were called reply Speak Lord for your servant is listening the response that Samuel gave was similar to the response that Mary had given Mary told the angel behold I am the handmade of the Lord may it be done
To me according to your word Samuel was told to respond Speak Lord for your servant is listening very often in today’s world when we pray we do not say Speak Lord for your servant is listening rather today many people pray listen Lord for your servant is
Speaking this is what we see in the first reading from the second book of Samuel King David had decided that he knew what was best for the Lord he had decided the best way to serve the Lord was to build a temple for the Ark of the
Covenant David was going to build a house for the Lord to dwell in until Nathan the prophet delivered the word of the Lord on to David go tell my servant thus says the Lord should you build me a house to dwell in I have not dwelt in a house
From the day on which I led the Israelites out of Egypt to the present but I have been going about in a tent under cloth in all my wanderings everywhere among the Israelites did I ever utter a word to any of the judges whom I charg to tend my People Israel to
Ask why have you not built me a house of Cedar David thought he was doing something good for the Lord David was saying listen Lord for your servant is speaking how often when we pray do we tell God I would really like it if you did this
Or I want you to give me that are we being like King David or like the Virgin Mary it has been said that if you want to make God laugh tell him your plans David told God what he would do for God Mary simply said let it be done
To me according to your will David wanted to be in control of the relationship with God Mary let God be in control of the relationship Mary took a risk in saying yes to God expecting a baby before living with Joseph Mary could have been stoned to death but she trusted God with her
Life Mary did not know how God was going to accomplish this great miracle but she trusted God with her life St Joseph was not prepared for a child that was not his own he did not want Mary killed but he was not willing to take Mary as his wife
After he found out she was not carrying his child yet Joseph also also said yes to God and took Mary into his home Joseph trusted God with his life how many young couples are afraid to say yes to an unexpected pregnancy or when a crisis
Occurs how often do they say to God I’ve got a solution God I’ll fix it how often are we open to what God is asking us in our life I remember when I said yes to God when I decided to enter the Seminary I was scared and did not know
What was ahead of me the campus the campus chaplain said said to me he said you’re like St Peter you stepped out of the boat now you’re walking on the water so I trusted God with my life which is really his life because he gave me
Life so I said yes to God’s call to enter the Seminary entering the Seminary doesn’t mean that you will be a priest there is a long and hard trail from that first yes of entering Seminary to the last yes when you place your hands inside that of the bishop and say
I do when he asks you do you promise respect and obedience to me and my successors when I said yes to God I did not know what lay ahead when Mary said yes to God she did not know what lay ahead when husbands and wives say I do on their wedding
Day they do not know what lies ahead this logic is often given for the reason why couples live together before married before being married but it’s a faulty logic statistics show that couples who live together before being married have a greater separation rate than those who do not live
Together would you want a seminarian to celebrate Mass before he was ordained of course not so why would you want a man and a woman to live together before they have said their yes witnessed by the Catholic church both priesthood and marriage Are Holy sacraments of God they are sacraments of
Vocation if you are thinking that God may be calling you to the priesthood or if your marriage is not blessed by the Catholic Church please contact one of the priests so that they can help you to share fully in the sacramental life of the church we have to say yes to God and
Trust him as we walk into the unknown like Mary and Joseph did we need to be open to listening to God rather than be like King David who said listen Lord for your servant is speaking CHR only SF Pro Spen Church us for all the parishioners of St Philip
