Dear Parishioners:
With the Advent Season comes the four week preparation time for Christmas. It is a special prayer time in the Catholic Church because we are alerted to prepare for Christ’s 2nd coming at the end of the world but also to prepare to remember Christ’s 1st coming at Christmas.
During this special prayer time of Advent it is appropriate for us to embrace a renewed commitment to the Stewardship of Prayer as individuals and as a faith community at St. Joseph’s.
Here are some prayer suggestions for Advent Season and beyond:
From the beginning of humanity we people have carried contradictions around in our souls. Contradictions involve our doing the opposite of our overall exterior and objective values. The 12 Fruits of the Holy Spirit are ways to reflect on our exterior and objective values:
| Fruit | Contradiction |
| Charity | Greed |
| Joy | Misery |
| Peace | Turmoil |
| Patience | Lose Temper |
| Kindness | Hostility |
| Goodness | Hurtful |
| Generosity | Stingy |
| Gentleness | Roughness |
| Faithfulness | Double-Life |
| Modesty | Show-Off |
| Self-Control | Wild |
| Chastity | Indecent |
