A PRAYER FOR PEACE IN ISRAEL AND PALESTINE
God of Comfort,
send your Spirit to encompass all those whose lives
are torn apart by violence and death in Israel and Palestine.
You are the Advocate of the oppressed
and the One whose eye is on the sparrow.
Let arms reach out in healing, rather than aggression.
Let hearts mourn rather than militarize.
God of Justice,
give strength to those whose long work for a just peace
might seem fruitless now. Strengthen their resolve.
Do not let them feel alone. Show us how to support their work
and bolster their courage. Guide religious leaders to model
unity and reconciliation across lines of division.
Guide political leaders to listen with their hearts as they seek peace and pursue it.
Help all people choose the rigorous path of just peace and disavow violence.
God of Love,
we lift up Palestine and Israel — its people, its land, its creatures.
War is a monster that consumes everything in its path.
Peace is a gift shared at meals of memory with Christians, Muslims, and Jews.
Let us burn incense, not children. Let us break bread, not bodies.
Let us plant olive groves, not cemeteries.
We beg for love and compassion to prevail
on all your holy mountains.
God of Hope,
we lift up the cities of the region: Gaza City and Tel Aviv,
Ramallah and Ashkelon, Deir El Balah and Sderot,
so long divided, yet so filled with life and creativity.
Come again to breathe peace on your peoples
that all may recognize you.
God of Mercy,
even now work on the hearts of combatants
to choose life over death, reconciliation over retaliation,
restoration over destruction. Help us resist antisemitism in all its forms,
especially in our own churches. All people, Israelis and Palestinians,
deserve to live in peace and unafraid, with a right to determine
their future together.
God of the Nations,
let not one more child or elder be sacrificed on altars of political expediency.
Keep safe all people from unjust leaders who would exploit
vulnerability for their own distorted ends.
Give wise discernment to those making decisions to pursue peace.
Provide them insight into fostering well-being, freedom, and thriving for all.
Teach all of us to resolve injustices with righteousness, not rockets.
Guard our hearts against retaliation, and give us hearts for love alone.
Strengthen our faith in you, O God of All Flesh,
even when we don’t have clear answers,
so that we may still offer ourselves nonviolently
for the cause of peace.
Amen.

Advent is a time of hopeful anticipation as we prepare to celebrate the remembrance of the Lord’s first coming and, also, recalling his final coming in glory at the end of time. There are many preparations for Christmas that demand our time and attention. Make sure to fill your Advent days with prayerful preparation. Read scripture, pray the rosary with special attention to the Joyful Mysteries and spend time before the Blessed Sacrament. Advent is a time of hope and faith.
God of light and life, give us hope as we wait for your coming again. When we are tempted to be grateful to have found you while others are lost, send us out into the darkness in search of those who need you most. Amen.

This Advent, Lord, come to the manger of my heart.
Fill me with Your presence from the very start.
As I prepare for the holidays and gifts to be given,
Remind me of the gift You gave when You sent Your Son from Heaven.
The first Christmas gift, it was the greatest gift ever.
You came as a baby born in a manger.
Wrapped like the gifts I find under my tree,
Waiting to be opened, to reveal Your love to me.
Restore to me the wonder that came with Jesus' birth,
When He left the riches of Heaven and wrapped Himself in rags of earth.
Emmanuel, God with us, Your presence came that night.
And angels announced, "Into your darkness, God brings His Light."
"Do not be afraid," they said, to shepherds in the field.
Speak to my heart today, Lord, and help me to yield.
Make me like those shepherds, obedient to Your call.
Setting distractions and worries aside, to You I surrender them all.
Surround me with Your presence, Lord, I long to hear Your voice.
Clear my mind of countless concerns and all the holiday noise.
Slow me down this Christmas, let me not be in a rush.
In the midst of parties and planning, I want to feel Your hush.
This Christmas, Jesus, come to the manger of my heart.
Invade my soul like Bethlehem, bringing peace to every part.
Dwell within and around me, as I unwrap Your presence each day.
Keep me close to You, Lord. It's in Your wonderful Name I pray.
Amen.

The readings on the Second Sunday of Advent can be summed up as equal parts comfort and warning for the Christian steward. We serve a merciful and patient God – in His kindness, He warns us that we will be called to make an account one day for the way in which we made use of the gifts He has given us. The most precious gift He has given us is His own Son, Whose birth we are preparing to celebrate.
Through the readings today, we are to assimilate two truths – the merciful love of God and the responsibility that comes with the privilege of living as His disciple. St Peter tells us we should conduct ourselves “in holiness and devotion” and that we should be “eager to be found without spot or blemish before him, at peace.” Indeed, this is the goal of our Advent ‘reset’ – to return to (or intensify) living lives focused on Christ, in gratitude for all He has done for us.
In practical terms, this means that we as Christian stewards must make good use of the gifts of time we have been given this Advent season. Let’s be sure to get to Confession, prioritize a daily reading of the Scriptures, and reach out to someone in need with a word of comfort or an act of service. In this way, we will honor both the mercy and justice of our God, and we will be prepared to celebrate the birth of Christ and give account for all His gifts to us.

THE ADVENT FAITH SHARING GROUP will meet on Friday mornings following Mass in the Resurrection Church Hall. We have a centering prayer, a Scripture reading about the Eucharist, commentary and action, about 1-1 1/2 hours. The remaining dates are: December 8, and15 . If you are planning to attend please call Barb Dryzal 814-536-3961.
For those who would like to form your own group or reflect on the scripture readings individually, materials for each of the weeks of Advent can be found below.
The above prayer is known as the St Andrew Novena because unlike a typical 9 day Novena it starts on November 30th, the Feast of St Andrew the Apostle and ends on Christmas. Saying the prayer 15 times each day prepares your heart for Christmas. It's okay to start it late.

The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is a prayer that was revealed by Jesus to St. Faustina Kowalska in 19351. It is recited using ordinary Rosary beads of five decades and is preceded by two opening prayers from the Diary of Saint Maria Faustina Kowalska and followed by a closing prayer. The Chaplet of Divine Mercy is prayed on ordinary Rosary beads. See the link below for specific instructions for praying chaplet or the novena.

Pray the Liturgy of the Hours
Lectio divina is a form of meditation rooted in liturgical celebration that dates back to early monastic communities. It was a method practiced by monks in their daily encounter with Scripture, both as they prepared for the Eucharist and as they prayed the Liturgy of the Hours.
The Latin phrase “lectio divina” may be translated as “divine reading.” As one reads and invites the Word to become a transforming lens that brings the events of daily living into focus, one can come to live more deeply and find the presence of God more readily in the events of each day. The method of lectio divina follows four steps:

JOHN SLOVIKOVSKI, PhD, pastor of the Church of the Visitation, who lived in France and who has traveled to Italy almost a dozen times. Working with Peter’s Ways tours, who have received an A+ from the Better Business Bureau for a great number of years, we have arranged an exciting pilgrimage that will acquaint you with the best that Rome and its environs have to offer. We will visit the cities of Rome and Assisi. We will Visit the Vatican and the other three major basilicas of Rome, saint Mary Major, St. John Lateran, and Saint Paul outside the walls where Fr. John celebrated Mass in 2013, the Year of Faith. We will visit the other minor basilicas of Rome and have an Audience with the pope. We will also have the opportunity to visit Trevi Fountain , the Spanish Stairs, and other parts of the city on our own. We will be able shop at Vatican City, either in the second-floor gift shop in the Vatican, or on the streets of the city of Rome Proximate to the Vatican where many art treasures are to be found. We will celebrate mass every day and Fr. John will be available for celebration of the sacrament of reconciliation each day, by arrangement. We will also visit the beautiful little town of Assisi and the Basilicas of Saint Francis and Saint Claire. How exciting, we will share most breakfast and Dinners together ; however, lunchtime is an opportunity to discover the many culinary treasures of Italy on our own. We will stay in 4/5- star hotels for the entire trip, and we will have a native Italian guide with us through out all of our pilgrimage. This is truly the experience of a lifetime, which by comparison is being offered at a reasonable price (by consideration of other tour/pilgrimage companies at the cost of $4595 per person (other arrangements will modify the cost.)
