St. John Catholic Church at 2742 Lamar Ave, Memphis, TN 38114 US -     November 29, 2009 1 SUNDAY OF ADVENT           Year "C"

Gospel: Lk 21:25-28, 34-36
"There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the stars, and on the earth distress among nations confused by the roaring of the sea and the waves.  People will faint from fear and foreboding of what is coming upon the world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. 


                      Prayer
I believe that there are moments when suddenly a pattern appears amidst chaos.
There are moments when an idea shines amidst suffering: “our redemption comes in Jesus, who brings order and heals our wounds”.
And I know: I have wasted already many of such moments!
