The Immaculate Conception
The Immaculate Conception, celebrated this year on Tuesday,
December 8, is one of the most significant feasts of Our Lady,
and is a holyday of obligation. Two stained glass windows in
our Cathedral depict images of the Immaculate Conception.
First, The Glories of Mary window located to the left of Our
Lady’s altar displays scenes from the life and legends of the
Blessed Mother, including two panels illustrating mother and
son, under whom St. Cyril of Alexandra proclaims Mary’s
Immaculate Conception.

A second window (pictured) located near the exterior sacristy
door, which is easily visible from the exterior of the Cathedral,
depicts the Blessed Virgin Mary robed in blue and white with
a rosary at her wrist and roses at her feet. Her radiant halo
proclaims “Je suis L’Immaculee Conception”; “I am the Immaculate
Conception.” Both windows are illustrated in the Cathedral book Jewels of the
Cathedral.
Mass times for the celebration of the Immaculate Conception take place on
Monday, December 7 at 5:30 pm (vigil) and Tuesday, December 8 at 6:45 am,

Pope Francis Formally Begins the Year of
Mercy
December 8, 2015-November 20, 2016
On Tuesday, December 8, on the Solemnity of the Immaculate
Conception, Pope Francis will open the Holy Door in the
atrium of St. Peter’s Basilica, formally beginning the
extraordinary jubilee, the Year of Mercy. On that day, the Holy
Door will become a Door of Mercy through which anyone who
enters will experience the love of God who consoles, pardons, and instills
hope. The Pope’s Year of Mercy will highlight the Catholic Church's "mission
to be a witness of mercy." The door symbolizes a passage or transition into a
special year of evangelization and prayer.
Pope Francis said that he wants the year to be a time for Catholics to
contemplate just how merciful God has been to them and to understand
better how they are called to be merciful to others in turn.

Snack Bag/Wedding Workshop Cancelled

The Advent Wreath
This Sunday marks the second Sunday of Advent. The
Advent wreath, one of our most important Advent traditions,
is a circle, made of evergreen branches that has no beginning
or end. The circular shape of the Advent Wreath is used to
symbolize God the Father and eternal life.
The wreath holds four candles that are lit over the four weeks of Advent.
Traditionally, each of the four candles on an Advent wreath has their own
meaning. The lighting of the first purple candle that occurred last week
symbolizes Hope, reminding us that Jesus is coming. The lighting of the second
purple candle of Advent symbolizes Faith, reminding us of Mary and Joseph’s
journey to Bethlehem.

Our Lady of Guadalupe
December 12, the Feast of Our Lady of
Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas is a
National Celebration observed throughout the
whole continent and goes back to the 16th
century. Chronicles of that period tell us the story.
While walking from his village to Mexico City in
the early morning of December 9, 1531, the
peasant Juan Diego saw on the slopes of the Hill of
Tepeyac a vision of a girl of fifteen or sixteen years
of age, surrounded by light. Speaking to him in
the local language, she asked that a church be built at that site, in her honor.
From her words, Juan Diego recognized the Lady as the Virgin Mary. Diego told
his story to the Spanish Archbishop, Fray Juan de Zumárraga, who instructed
him to return to Tepeyac Hill, and ask the lady for a miraculous sign to prove
her identity. The Virgin told Juan Diego to gather flowers from the top of
Tepeyac Hill. Although December was very late in the growing season for flowers
to bloom, Juan Diego found at the usually barren hilltop Castilian roses, not
native to Mexico, which the Virgin arranged in his peasant tilma cloak. When
Juan Diego opened the cloak before Bishop Zumárraga on December 12, the
flowers fell to the floor, and in their place was the image of the Virgin of
Guadalupe, miraculously imprinted on the fabric.

Join Sr. Pat for our Advent Parish Mission Walk the Advent Highway Dec. 7th, 8th & 9th at 7:00pm in the Cathedral. Advent Questions and Challenges Carole Eipers of Riverside, IL
Currently, Executive Director of Catechetics for William H. Sadlier, Inc.
Isaiah says, “Prepare the way of the
Lord.”
But that’s not all of it.
He says, “In the desert prepare the
way of the Lord.”
Where’s the desert in our town?
Where’s the desert in our parish?
Where’s the desert in my family?
Where’s the desert in my heart?
What is a desert?
What words describe one?
Hot, barren, empty, lonesome,
fearsome.
The desert is where no one can live
for long,
where not much grows,
where we become uncomfortable
and want to leave.
The desert through which we must
prepare the Lord’s way is not in
the Holy Land, not in Bethlehem.
It’s here -- in our town, in our
parish, beginning with our own hearts.
Jesus has come.
He is here with us.
And so, for Advent to be a time of
welcoming, we must invite Him
where He’s never been -- the
barren, empty, lifeless spot in our
lives where we’ve never let Him in
before.
6
The desert is the corner of our heart
where we are uneasy, where it hurts.
It is the corner that needs
Christmas badly -healing, and the touch of
Jesus’ love.
It’s that place in our heart, in our life,
where we say: “Yes, Jesus,
You can have everything BUT...
I’ll love everyone EXCEPT . . .
I’ll be generous UNTIL . . .
I’ll forgive IF . . .
Let’s look at our hearts -- the
beautiful places there, the loving
feelings, the forgiving moments,
the unselfish giving.
The desert puts limits on our love and
hinders our growing.
Perhaps our desert is the way we treat
someone close to us, or a failure to use
our talents.
Maybe it’s a grudge we hold and refuse to
let go.
Maybe it’s a corner of our heart where way
deep down we don’t really like
ourselves.
We have to look hard to discover the
personal desert within us that is
denying admittance to Christmas.
Christmas is not so much for
children as for those who have grown
enough to realize that Christmas can
happen in a way it never has before.
We have only to find our desert and
prepare the way of the Lord for His
coming.
And let’s keep looking beyond all
the wonderful things (and there
are many) and try to find that one
spot, however small or
insignificant, where Jesus has not
been, where we have allowed
Him no access.
It is that part of our heart we’ve
forgotten about or we’ve
jealously guarded, saying: “No! I
won’t change that! No one will
get in there!”
It is the only place where we can
really celebrate Christmas -where it has never been
celebrated before.
“In the desert prepare the way of the
Lord.”
First we have to find the desert.
We have to find that one last spot
which is shielded from love,
which is protected from what
Jesus might ask.
His coming -- His Advent -depends on our invitation, our
welcome.
What is more exciting than to be
invited to go someplace you’ve
never been before. He’ll love it!
And His love will turn our deserts into
oases.
In the desert prepare the way of the Lord! What is my personal desert? SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT

de Misericordia. En ese día, la Puerta Santa se convertirá
en la Puerta de Misericordia en la cual cualquiera que
entre va a experimentar el amor de Dios quien Consuela,
perdona, y nos da esperanza. El ano de la Misericordia
del Papa va a enfatizar la “ misión de la Iglesia Católica
de ser testigo de Misericordia.” La puerta simboliza un
camino o una transición a un ano de evangelización y
oración. El Papa Francisco quiere que este ano de Misericordia sea para nosotros
los Católicos un ano para contemplar como ha sido Dios de misericordioso con
nosotros y entender mejor como nosotros somos llamados a tener misericordia
para con otros.

WELCOME FROM THE PASTOR AND
CATHEDRAL STAFF
Dear Friends in Christ,
On behalf of Archbishop Wilton Gregory, the Clergy and
staff, I welcome you to the Cathedral of Christ the King. I
hope and pray that you feel welcomed by our parish
community and that your spiritual and pastoral needs will
be met.
We are a very active parish with 5,500 families and over one
hundred ministries. We encourage our members to share
their gifts of time, talent and treasure.
Our mission statement is to “Know, Love and Serve as Jesus
Did”. This is the mission of each disciple of Christ and, if
you are new, I hope and pray that you will join us and be
part of the community of Christ the King. If you are passing
through or visiting the city of Atlanta, I hope you enjoy your
worship experience and please visit us again.
If you would like to know more about our parish, you can
visit our website at www.cathedralofchristtheking.org or
email us.
May we, this day and all the days of our lives, know, love
and serve as Jesus did.
Prayers and Blessings,
Msgr. Frank McNamee, Rector
