Fourth Sunday of Advent
FROM THE HEART OF YOUR PASTOR
SCRIPTURE REFLECTION
The promise of the Messiah reaches its climax as Advent draws to a close. Nathan reveals to King David the promise that will be fulfilled: “The Lord will establish a house for you, and your house and your kingdom shall endure forever before me; your throne shall stand firm forever.” The promised Messiah will come from the house of David and bring redemption to his people. This is the one, Saint Paul, says in our second reading, “who will strengthen you and bring about the obedience of faith, to the only wise God through Jesus Christ be glory forever and ever.”
The fourth Sunday of Advent calls us to reflect on the extraordinary action of God in the sending of his Son, one who set aside his divinity to take on fully, except the stain of sin, our human nature. Saint Augustine claimed that the Incarnation was a far greater act of God than even the work of creation.
Saint Gregory of Nyssa wrote, “Sick, our nature demanded to be healed; fallen, to be raised up;
dead, to rise again. Captives we awaited a Savior;
prisoners, help; slaves a liberator. Did these things not move God to descend to human nature and visit it, since humanity was in so miserable and unhappy a state?”
The Word became flesh so that we might know God’s love. This is what is affirmed for us in the Gospel of John: “God so loved the world that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.” Through the obedience of Mary and the trust of Joseph, the child Jesus was born into this world, a child that today’s Gospel reminds us was named 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.”
The Catechism of the Catholic Church writes that
“belief in the true Incarnation of the Son of God is the distinctive sign of Christian faith. By this you know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God.”
Our Advent hymn is a call to faith in the presence of the One who saves: O come, o come Emmanuel and ransom captive Israel. This is truly “God with us.” We prepare now to celebrate the birth of the Eternal Word, the one who is true God and true man, in the unity of one divine person; for this reason Jesus Christ is the one and only mediator
ALL OUR PARISH VOLUNTEERS OF EVERY AGE
are invited to pick up their annual Christmas gift in the work sacristy after any Mass this Sunday and next Sunday. We are so grateful for your generous assistance in so many ways at the Cathedral. We hope this small token of our appreciation will be a sign of our deep gratitude and appreciation for all you do for our Cathedral parish. God bless you.CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS DAY MASSES
are scheduled for Sunday, December 24 (Christmas Eve) at 4:00 pm, 6:00 pm, and 10:00 pm (with Bishop Zubik presiding) and on Monday, December 25 (Christmas Day) at 8:00 am, 10:00 am and 12:00 Noon. THERE WILL NOT BE A 6:30 AM MASS ON CHRISTMAS DAY.between God and man, the one who can restore us to the fullness of life and grace, and complete union with our Father in heaven. We prepare to allow the Christchild to enter more deeply into our hearts this Christmas season and to experience the fullness of grace and life that he brings. We await, as well, the return of the One who has already come into the world and whose second coming will bring to fulfillment the promises of God to all who are faithful. We sing with the psalmist: “Forever I will sing the goodness of the Lord.” Come Lord Jesus come!
A SECOND COLLECTION WILL BE TAKEN UP AT ALL MASSES ON CHRISTMAS EVE AND CHRISTMAS DAY.
This collection will benefit programs in the diocese that serve the needs of Children and Youth. Your generosity, as always, means a great deal and in a special way this Christmas season will be a blessing to those children and youth in our community who have great needs.A SPECIAL WELCOME IS EXTENDED TO
FATHER THOMAS GRAMC
who is home for a few weeks over these Christmas holidays and will be helping out at some Masses at the Cathedral during this time. Father Gramc is completing his theological studies in Rome and will return this summer with his licentiate in Sacred Theology. He was assigned at the Cathedral for three summers as a seminarian and deacon, and this past summer served as part time parochial vicar following his priesthood ordination. We are always delighted to have Father Gramc with us and appreciated his help. We wish him and his family, especially his parents TOM and KATHY GRAMC, a blessed and joyous Christmas. We continue to hold Father Gramc in our prayers.S. P 1 C 1 • P23$+, P 3 1 2

UPDATE FROM THE PITTSBURGHEAST RE- GIONAL CATHOLIC ELEMENATRY SCHOOLS ADVISORY BOARD.
The PittsburghEast Regional Catholic Elementary Schools Advisory Board contin- ues to review the financial and demographic situations of the schools in the region. Members of the advisory board, together with the regional vicars, will be meet- ing with pastors and principals of the schools through February. Those school facing the greatest challenges will be the first to meet. Over the coming months the advisory board will prepare their recommendations for how regionalization should proceed. We will continue to provide updates as their work progresses.BLESSING OF THE CHRISTMAS TREE AND CRECHE AT HOME:
Families are invited to join together on Christmas Eve or Christmas Day and say a prayer together blessing your Christmas tree and crèche. You can pray this prayer together: “God of every nation and people, from the very beginning of creation you have made manifest your love; when our need for a Savior was great you sent your Son to be born of the Blessed Virgin Mary. To our lives he brings joy and peace, justice, mercy and love. Lord, bless all who look upon this manger. May it remind us of the humble birth of Jesus and raise our thoughts to him.Let your blessing come upon us as we light this Christmas tree. May this tree, arrayed in splendor and light, be a sign of the joy that fills our hearts this Christmas day and throughout the new year. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.”
THE CHRISTMAS OCTAVE
is a special time of blessing and grace and I invite you to come to Mass during this special week. We celebrate a number of beautiful feast days during this octave, including St.Stephen, the first martyr (December 26), St. John the Apostle and Evangelist (December 27), the Holy Innocents (December 28) and St. Thomas Beckett (December 29) and the Feast of the Holy Family (December 31).
A SPECIAL THANK YOU
TO FATHER STUBNA’S SISTER AND BROTHERINLAW, Mary Beth and Michael Presutti, for donating the two Christmas trees for the rectory this year. One is 13 foot, the other is 10 foot. The trees came from Hozak’s Tree Farm in Clinton, PA this year. Many thanks for their generosity and kindness in making the rectory extra beautiful for Christmas this year! May God bless you.A JOYOUS AND BLESSED CHRISTMAS TO EVERYONE.
We mark in a solemn and joyous way the Birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. In the mystery of the Incarnation, the Church confesses that Jesus is inseparably true God and true man. As the Catechism of the Catholic Church makes clear: “He is truly the Son of God who, without ceasing to be God and Lord, became a man and our brother.” (CCC 469). St. John Chrysostom spoke eloquently on this mystery: “O onlybegotten Son and Word of God, immortal being, you who deigned for our salvation to become incarnate of the holy Mother of God and evervirgin Mary, you who without change became man and were crucified, O Christ our God, you who by your death have crushed death, you who are one of the Holy Trinity, glorified with the Father and the Holy Spirit, save us.”Let us not forget in our celebration of Christmas that our gaze should rest on the Christchild, born in Bethlehem over 2000 years ago, Jesus Christ, truly God and truly man, consubstantial with the Father.
What joy we feel this day as we celebrate the birth of our Savior, the one described so beautifully by the prophet Isaiah in our Christmas reading. “And they
name him, WonderCounselor, GodHero, FatherForever, Prince of Peace!”
I extend a very special word of welcome to all who join us for the celebration of Christmas this year. To all our faithful parishioners and to your family members who join us in these days; to our college students and to those in graduate studies; to all those who are visiting us and come from far and near. Welcome to Saint Paul Cathedral. We are delighted that you are here and worshipping with us on this Christmas Day. I call your attention to a Christmas letter from myself and Father Verona which is inserted into this bulletin and is available at the doors of Church. Please share it with family, neighbors and friends, perhaps some of our parishioners who may not be coming to Church.
We extend to each and every one of you our best wishes for a blessed and joyous Christmas celebration.
In a very special way, we will be remembering you in our Masses on Christmas Day and in the octave of Christmas, and promise you our prayers in this holy season. May this Christmas be a time of joy and peace for you, your families and all your loved ones.
A SPECIAL BLESSING AND PRAYERS
are extended to all members of our parish family who are homebound, hospitalized or in a nursing home or rehabilitation center. You are close to our hearts in prayer this Christmas season. We remember you and your intentions in prayer at every Mass we celebrate at the Cathedral. May God bring you healing, peace, comfort and strength. You are an important part of our parish family and you are remembered always in our thoughts and prayers. A blessed Christmas to you and to your families and may this New Year bring much health, happiness and peace.CHRISTMAS FLOWERS.
We thank everyone who gave donations for the Christmas flowers in memory of their deceased loved ones, family and friends. The list of those intentions has been printed in today’s bulletin and these intentions will hold a very special place in our prayer over the Christmas season, particularly at Mass. Your generous response is greatly appreciated.OUR MONTHLY AFTERNOON OF EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
will not be held next Sunday, December 31 because it is New Year’s Eve. But please note that we hold a monthly afternoon of Eucharistic Adoration on the last Sunday of each month. The Blessed Sacrament is exposed for adoration at the conclusion of the 12 Noon Mass until 5 pm. Solemn Vespers and Benediction begin at 5:00 pm until 5:30 pm, followed by the 6:00 pm Mass.Please consider making this part of your new year’s resolution to come and join us for these wonderful afternoons of prayer and adoration before our Lord in the Holy Eucharistic. The next one is scheduled for Sunday, January 28.
THE FEAST OF THE HOLY FAMILY
will be celebrated next Sunday, December 31. Masses are scheduled for Saturday evening, December 30 at 6:00 pm and on Sunday, December 31 at 6:30 am, 8:00 am, 10:00 am and 12:00 noon. THERE WILL NOT BE A MASS ON SUNDAY EVENING, DECEMBER 31 AT 6:00 PM.SAINTS OF THE WEEK.
On December 28 the Church celebrates the feast of the HOLY INNOCENTS. We know from Matthew’s Gospel that Herod, King of Judea, was threatened by the reports of the birth of Jesus, the “newborn King of the Jews.” The wise men informed Herod that it was Bethlehem where the star was leading them, the place where the Messiah was to be born.Herod told them to report back to him so that he could also “do him homage,”
but they took another route home. Herod was furious at their disobedience and “ordered the massacre of all the boys in Bethlehem and its vicinity two years old and under.” This feast day is a reminder to us of how often the lives of the innocent ones are destroyed. We remember in a special way all those unborn children, the holy innocents of our time, and children who are abused and neglected by their parents and others. This feast calls us to see the sanctity of every human life and work diligently to protect, nurture, defend and care for the lives of every human being, especially the most vulnerable and innocent among us. On December 29 we celebrate the feast of SAINT THOMAS BECKET. King Henry II appointed Thomas as Archbishop of Canterbury in 1162. The King had hoped that Thomas would simply allow him to run the Church but that was not to be the case. An elegant statesman who had enjoyed the finer things of life, Thomas took on the duties of archbishop as an opportunity for a renewed spiritual conversion. He dressed simply and wore a hair shirt. He distributed alms and visited the sick, celebrating Mass daily and studying the Scriptures. He cared deeply for those he served.
Thomas began to oppose the King on issues of taxation, punishment of clerics and their right to appeal to Rome. He fought for the supremacy of Rome and tried to prevent the King’s interference in the workings of the Church.
Tensions were so great that he exiled himself to France for a time before returning to England and his duties. But King Henry soon got tired of the continuing clashes with his Archbishop and said: “Who will rid me of this turbulent priest?” to which four of his knights went to Canterbury Cathedral and murdered Thomas. He fought vigorously but in the end said: “For the name of Jesus and in defense of the Church I am willing to die.” He was revered by the faithful and gave many of them courage and steadfastness to live out their faith in difficult circumstances.
WE CONGRATULATE THE NEWEST MEMBER OF THE CHURCH
who was baptized recently at the Cathedral:

, daughter of Kevin and Jaclyn (Adrian) RycynaPASSING FROM DEATH TO NEW LIFE.

are scheduled for Monday, January 1 (New Year’s Day) at 8:15 am and 10:00 am. January 1 is the Solemnity of Mary, the Holy Mother of God but because it falls on a Monday it is not a holyday of obligation. THERE WILL BE NO 12:05 PM MASS ON MONDAY, JANUARY 1.A SPECIAL SECOND COLLECTION IS BEING TAKEN UP AT ALL THE MASSES NEXT WEEKEND, DECEMBER 3031
in support of the Cathedral Tower Renovation Fund. We are deeply grateful to so many who have contributed to this project so far. We have collected nearly$32,000. When there is a fifth Sunday we will take up a special collection in support of this important and challenging project. The total cost of the project is about $400,000. All offerings and contributions are deeply appreciated as we work to offset the cost of the tower renovation to the Cathedral operating budget and savings. May God bless you for
your support. The project is moving along well.

QUESTION OF THE DAY.
A parishioner recently asked me where the Angelus came from and why we pray it before the 12:05 pm Mass each day.ANSWER: Designed to commemorate the mystery of the Incarnation and pay homage to Mary’s role in salvation history, it has long been part of Catholic life.
Around the world, three times every day, the faithful stop whatever they are doing and with the words “The Angel of the Lord declared unto Mary” begin this simple yet beautiful prayer. By the end of the 16th century, the Angelus had become the prayer that we know today: three Hail Marys, with short verses in between (called versicles), ending with a prayer. It was first published in modern form in a catechism around 1560 in Venice. This devotion reminds us of the Angel Gabriel’s annunciation to Mary, Mary’s fiat, the Incarnation and Our Lord’s passion and resurrection. It is repeated as a holy invitation, calling us to prayer and meditation. For centuries the Angelus was always said while kneeling, but Pope Benedict XIV directed that the Angelus should be recited while standing on Saturday evening and all day on Sunday. He also directed that the Regina Coeli (Queen of Heaven) be said instead of the Angelus during the Easter season. Over the years many of the faithful have focused the morning Angelus on the Resurrection, the noon Angelus on the Passion and the evening Angelus on the Incarnation. It is said that over the centuries workers in the fields halted their labors and prayed when they heard the Angelus bell. Like a heavenly messenger, the Angelus calls us to interrupt our daily, earthly routines and turn to thoughts of God, of the Blessed Mother, and of eternity. As Pope Benedict XVI said on the feast of the Annunciation: “The Angel’s proclamation was addressed to her; she accepted it, and when she responded from the depths of her heart ... at that moment the eternal Word began to exist as a human being in time. From generation to generation the wonder evoked by this ineffable mystery never ceases.”
