Dear Friends,Advent is a favorite season of mine. I love the joy and the sense of hope that permeate these days.During Advent we are reminded of the fact that things will get better! When the Lord comes, we will enjoy “the life of the world to come,” a life that knows no tears, pain or disappointment. As one of my favorite hymns says,“Be still, my soul, the hour is hastening on when we shall be forever with the Lord, when disappointment, grief and fear are gone, sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored.”Starting this Advent, we will also make more available the practice of Eucharistic Adoration at the Family of Four. Every first Tuesday of the month, at SS Peter and Paul (2490 N Cramer St), the Blessed Sacrament will be exposed from 6:00-7:00 pm. Our first night of silent adoration will take place this Tuesday, December 6!Eucharistic Adoration is yet another opportunity to witness the fact that even though Jesus is yet to come in glory, he is already here! Such is the creative tension in which the Christian is invited to live, that of anticipating the coming of the Lord while also acknowledging that he is already present in the Eucharist, in the person who is poor, in the community that gathers to pray, etc. When we come to Eucharistic Adoration, there is not a specific script that needs to be followed. Jesus is there, exposed on the altar, waiting patiently to sit in conversation with you and me, willing to restore and strengthen our hearts and thus give us a taste of the joys of the life of the new world to come.As we join our voices to that of the whole Church crying out in hopeful expectation, “Come, Lord Jesus, come!” I invite us to visit Jesus present in the Eucharist and also in the person of the suffering and the poor, as we also remember his words, “whatever you did for these little brothers and sisters of mine, you did it for me.”With love,Fr. Carlos ... See MoreSee Less

Dear Friends,Every Advent I try to pick a virtue that I will work on in my daily life. And every Advent I come up with the same one-- PATIENCE.Does anyone else have trouble being patient? If you said no, please see me for Confession! (smile) We all struggle at times with patience, and at least for me it is tied to not being able to live in the moment, in the present. I am always thinking ten steps ahead and get impatient when things aren't working out the way I think they should to get me to my goal. Plus, my long-range plans become my short-term worries!Living in the present is knowing that the future will unfold as it should because Christ who knows all is already there, and assures me that he has things covered. "Breathe, I have your back; I have things covered," he tells me. Advent is the perfect time for practicing patience, and be patient with yourselves as you practice!Let's pray for each other, and peace for our struggling world!Sincerely, with love,Fr. Tim ...
