It was Mary’s closeness to Christ that
made her receive God’s “fullness of
grace” to be sinless. Without God’s
grace, it would have been impossible
for Mary to be sinless, and she too
would be like the rest of humanity.
However, because of her decision to
say, “yes” in giving birth to Christ,
she was given a special privilege by
having no sin touch her. Catholics
believe that God wanted a perfectly
pure woman to carry His Son, the God
of the universe, for nothing else short
of perfection would do. For details,
visit www.catholiceducation.org.

December begins the end of the
year when we celebrate Christ's
birth, which is the beginning of His
salvation story. In December,
we begin again the fulfillment of
Isaiah's prophecy "...for a child is
born to us, a son is given us; upon
his shoulder dominion rests, they
name Him Wonder-counselor,
God-hero, Father forever, Prince of
Peace. His dominion is vast and
forever peaceful...."Isaiah 9: 6-7.
Jesus is the Alpha and the Omega,
the beginning and the end! (Rev.)
Yes, here we are in Advent. How
well I remember buying advent
calendars for my grandchildren.
They would open as many
windows as they could, all at once,
despite my reminders that they
must do just one a day. I guess we
never lose that urge to live in
tomorrow and leave today.
Someone once told me: “Margaret
keep your head where your feet
are!” Physically, now, that is
impossible, but metaphorically
speaking is very good advice.
My dear sisters and brothers, let us
support each other during this time
of preparation. Let us be kind to
others in lines at the stores—a
smile goes a long way—let us
remember the poor as well as our
families and friends. Let us set aside
more time each day to read the
Scriptures. That's one way of
seeking God's direction for us and
too, it's a way of saying, “Hey Jesus,
I love you! I need You.”
Let us pray for our government -that the voice of the people be
heard and that it works for their
good and their needs. Let us pray
for understanding and peace among
the races. I believe most people are
good at heart and that it only takes
a tiny devil to stir up mass
negativity and revolt. A prayer each
day to St. Michael is a powerful
deterrent!
We pray for the sick, all the hard
working caregivers, those with
addictions, their families, those in
nursing homes and hospitals.

Let us pray for all the petitions
from St. Mark's parishioners.
Remember those suffering from
loss of a loved one, and especially
pray for those suffering with
depression. May Jesus bless and
protect our priests and all those
who love and work for St Mark's
church. We pray for peace in the
world and ask the Prince of Peace
for Blessings from His precious,
tiny infant Hands. In the immortal
words of Tiny Tim from A
Christmas Carol, “May God bless
us, every one!” Love, Marge

“Persevere in labors that lead to salvation. Always be busy in spiritual actions. In this way, no matter how often the enemy of our souls approaches,
no matter how many times he may try to come near us, he’ll find our hearts closed and armed against him.” St. Cyprian of Carthage

a bus to Washington
D.C. to join people
from all over the

protest against legalized abortion! This

Since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court

million babies have been “terminated”
by legal abortion in the U.S. alone.
Each day in the U.S. about 3,300 babies
are aborted. Be a voice for the voiceless
and GET ON THE BUS!
