From the Pastor
“Shout for joy!”
With that
exclamation our
First Reading
from the
prophet
Zephaniah
begins. We are
told to “Sing
joyfully” and to “Be glad and
exult” as well. St. Paul, in his
letter to the Philippians proclaims,
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall
say it again: rejoice!” Why are we
so joyous? St. John the Baptist
explains it in our Gospel Reading
from St. Luke: “I am baptizing you
with water, but one mightier than I
is coming.” Indeed…the Lord is
coming, and soon, and that is why
we are called to “Rejoice” on this
Third Sunday of Advent which is
called Gaudete Sunday by the
Church. Gaudete means “Rejoice.”
Even our Responsorial Psalm
includes “Cry out with joy and
gladness.”
Christ came among us, and that is
why we celebrate Christmas with
such a sense of delight. The
prophet Zephaniah also declares,
“…the King of Israel, the Lord, is in
your midst; you have no further
misfortune to fear.” There should
be something comfortable about
the coming of Christ, His birth on
Christmas. We may get caught up in
challenges and sorrows which are
part of our lives, but the point of
Advent is for us to prepare for the
incredible Christmas gift of Jesus
Christ. Today is a day which
reminds us of that. The First
Reading reminds us that God sings,
too, because of each of us. The
image of God singing is not one we
have very often unfortunately;
however, that is our Lord
completely. He sings over and
because of us; He feels joy which
we provide, so that He breaks into
song. At least that is what we need
to be striving for — that is what our
preparations for Christmas should
mean to Him.
Page 3
St. Paul’s joy that he proclaims and
encourages us to share in the
Second Reading is also based upon
the presence of Christ. We speak
often of stewardship, of a way of
life where people give of
themselves, of what they may have,
their time, their talent, and their
treasure, out of love and a sense of
service to others. It is said that
stewardship people are happy
people, people who have a strong
sense of trust in God, and who view
things in a positive way. That is
what Paul wants us to do as well.
Paul tells us “Your kindness should
be known to all.” The Greek word
which Paul used for “kindness” was
epieikeia which can be translated as
patience, a softness of heart,
modesty, forbearance, a
magnanimous feeling toward others.
That, too, is what our Advent
preparations should reflect. They
should prepare us for what is in
reality the Christmas Spirit, a true
sense of elation reflected in how we
live our lives and how we treat
others.
When asked what we should do, St.
John the Baptist in the Gospel says
in effect that we should share; we
should treat others with respect and
justice; we should not be spiteful or
nasty. Are these not the same things
we try to teach children? Sometimes
when we get older, and bit more
callous, we forget that this is the
attitude we are expected to have,
the way to live our lives as
Christians and Catholics. Now,
Advent, is the time to make that
conversion, that change, that
repentance. As John indicates, we
have been baptized by the Lord
with “the Holy Spirit and fire.” The
Lord has the power to transform us.
Advent, the time right now when
the coming of the Lord is imminent,
is the time to allow Jesus to change
our hearts and to help us be the
disciples He wants and loves.
Blessings,
Father John

Community Outreach
Monthly Meal Service— Men’s Shelter of
Charlotte
When: Second Wednesday each month
Where: 1210 North Tryon St., Charlotte, N.C. 28206
St. Mark parishioners gather together to prepare, cook
and serve dinner to the residents of the Men’s Shelter of
Charlotte. We usually arrive around
4 pm and serve the meal at 6:00 pm, lasting until around
7:30 pm. The residents clean up so we can leave right
after serving.
We typically serve 125 gentlemen if not more. This is a
very satisfying ministry in that you can see the
appreciation of your actions immediately; the gentlemen
are very kind and grateful.
No talent is necessary, just a willingness to serve and a
good attitude. This ministry is one that you can join at
any time. If you can’t arrive at 4:00. we still need help at
6:00!
Recommended for Middle School ages (with a parent) and
up. The Knights are serving in December so our next
dates to serve are Wed., Jan. 13 and Feb. 10.
Start you New Year with a new volunteer commitment!

for each unborn child. Join us for the 10th Annual
MARCH FOR LIFE in Charlotte. The day will begin at
9 am with a Mass said for the Unborn. At 11 am we
will gather in the parking lot across the street from
the Catholic Diocese at 1123 South Church St.
Charlotte, NC 28210. (Note: There will be limited
parking available, therefore parking may be most
accessible uptown). At 12 pm we will march to
Trade St. and Tryon St. where Father Casey
Coleman, Parochial Vicar of St. Vincent de Paul
Catholic Church will begin with a sermon. We will
then march to the court house at 401 W. Trade St.

Divine Mercy.
Please join others to march and pray for an end to
abortion and save the lives of innocent babies! See
schedule details at www.marchforlifecharlotte.org

Jubilee Year of Mercy
“Merciful Like the Father” is the
“motto” of the Jubilee Year of
Mercy, as declared by Pope Francis,
beginning Dec. 8, 2015, the Solemnity
of the Immaculate Conception of the
Blessed Virgin Mary, through
November 20, 2016, the Solemnity of
Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the
Universe.
What is a Jubilee? In the book of
Leviticus, we read of the biblical
concept of Jubilee being a holy year
in which the people of God
rededicate themselves to a
celebration of God’s mercy and
goodness (Leviticus 25:10-12). During
a Jubilee year, the church
encourages the faithful to rediscover
the gift of conversion, forgiveness
and redemption by celebrating the
Sacraments, making restitution,
growing spiritually, and going on a
pilgrimage to designated Holy Sites.
You can directly access the Diocese
of Charlotte website on the Year of
Mercy through www.stmarknc.org.
This website highlights information
and events throughout the Diocese
for the Year of Mercy. Beginning in
January, a list of upcoming events at
St. Mark will be available. There will
also be regular information in the
bulletin highlighting what the Year of
Mercy can mean for each of us as we
rediscover the gift of conversion,
forgiveness and redemption in our
lives.
Imagine our Parish
encountering the
Catholic Faith not just
on Sunday but all
throughout the week!
Through the Augustine
Institute our parish has purchased for you an opportunity to immerse
yourself in the Catholic Faith through FORMED! FORMED.org is a
revolutionary online platform featuring the best Catholic videos, audio
talks, eBooks and movies. FORMED includes not only the Symbolon series
as referred to previous but other series including: Beloved, Lectio Divina,

13 de Diciembre: Tercer Domingo de
Adviento
El origen de la corona de adviento vino de los alemanes quienes
durante el frío y la oscuridad de diciembre, colectaban coronas
de ramas verdes y encendían fuegos como señal de esperanza
en la venida de la primavera. En el siglo XVI católicos y
protestantes alemanes utilizaban este símbolo para celebrar el
adviento: Aquellas costumbres primitivas contenían una semilla
de verdad que ahora podía expresar la verdad suprema: Jesús
es la luz que ha venido, que está con nosotros y que vendrá con
gloria. Las velas anticipan la venida de la luz en la Navidad:
Jesucristo.
La corona de adviento se hace con follaje verde sobre el que se
insertan cuatro velas. Tres velas son violeta, una es rosa. El
primer domingo de adviento encendemos la primera vela y
cada domingo de adviento encendemos una vela más hasta
llegar a la Navidad. La vela rosa corresponde al tercer domingo
y representa el gozo. Mientras se encienden las velas se hace
una oración, utilizando algún pasaje de la Biblia y se entonan cantos. Esto lo hacemos en las misas de adviento y
también es recomendable hacerlo en casa, por ejemplo antes o después de la cena. Si no hay velas de esos colores
aún se puede hacer la corona ya que lo más importante es el significado: la luz que aumenta con la proximidad del
nacimiento de Jesús quien es la Luz del Mundo. La corona se puede llevar a la iglesia para ser bendecida por el
sacerdote.
