Stewardship Awareness

"Go and tell John what you hear and see: the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf hear, and the dead are raised…" MATTHEW 11:4-5

When Jesus cured the sick we called it a miracle. Yet God has blessed us with many good things – our eyesight, our hearing, our talents, our health and so much more – and we often take it all for granted. The good steward recognizes every blessing in life as a miracle from God and strives to use those gifts for God’s honor and glory.

 

Advent Day of Recollection

All are invited to join Archbishop Carlson and the parishioners of the Cathedral Basilica for an Advent Day of Recollection on Saturday, December 18, 2010, beginning at 10:00 a.m. and ending with evening Mass at 5:00 p.m. Advance registration is requested so that organizers can properly prepare worship materials and set up for lunch. A good will offering will be accepted to offset the cost of lunch. Please call Laura at
314-373-8208 to register.

Prayer for Advent

Dear God,

As an Advent candle is lit in joyous anticipation of your Son’s nativity, remind us always of the reason for our joy. As the purple of the candles stand for both penance and atonement for sin, give us the grace to do penance for our wrongs, and to love Christ, whose sacrifice atoned for the sins of the whole
world. But just as the rose candle stands
for joy in the midst of suffering and expectation, give us the joy of your Son, Jesus Christ, Who came into a world that had so longed for its Savior, and made the angels themselves sing  with joy at His birth.

Amen.

 

 

Penance Services

Advent resounds with the theme of reconciliation and the call to repentance. That call is not about dwelling on our sins and being even more burdened by them, but the opposite: bringing them to God in sorrow and hope for forgiveness.

The Advent reconciliation services available are:

December 14 St. James
Potosi 7:00 p.m.
December 21 St. Stephen
Richwoods 7:00 p.m.

 

EWTN

Join EWTN this Christmas season to celebrate the special gift of love and hope Christ’s birth brings. See live Masses from around the world including Rome and the National Shrine in Washington, DC. The listing of Program Highlights for the Winter  2010-2011, including the special Christmas programs, is available in the back of Church.
