This question always comes up this time of year as Christmas approaches. The quick answer: at Christmas! Currently, we are in the penitential season of Advent. Beginning the Church’s liturgical year, Advent (from, “ad-venire” in Latin or “to come to”) is the season encompassing the four Sundays (and weekdays) leading up to the celebration of Christmas. The Latin word itself comes from the Greek word parousia, commonly used to refer to the Second Coming of Christ. To the right is the empty throne symbolizing the parousia in a mosaic in Ravenna, Italy from the early 6th century. Advent devotions, such as the Advent wreath, remind us of the meaning of the season, and so do our Advent hymns, such as: O Come, O Come Emmanuel; O Come Divine Messiah; Wake, Awake!; etc. All these hymns point to the coming of the Messiah and our preparations. The modern liturgical practice in the Roman Rite divides Advent in two: the first half (through Dec 16) retains the oldest theme of Christ’s Second Coming, while the privileged weekdays, as well as the Sundays, of the second half (Dec 17-24) focus more specifically on the fulfillment of the messianic prophecies. The first time we sing Christmas carols is on the Vigil of Christmas on Dec. 24, after the sun sets. December 24, 10:30 PM: Our annual concert of carols followed by midnight Mass at 11:00 PM. Always a special event! Need Christmas Gifts? Pick up a rosary or history book today before or after mass. The Basilica Schola is back for the 2015-2016 season.

ADVENT IS HERE ~ SUNDAY, DECEMBER 6 ~ THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT Today is the Third Sunday of Advent (Gaudete Sunday), the four-week liturgical season that prepares for the Incarnation of the Son of God. While not a penitential season like Lent, we are called nevertheless to enter into a mindset of reflection, restraint and renewal. The vestments that the priest wears is violet and the altar is decorated sparsely, usually with branches or simple purplecolored flowers. The ADVENT WREATH reminds us of God Himself, His eternity and endless mercy, which has no beginning or end. The green of the wreath speaks of the hope that we have in God, the hope of newness, of renewal, of eternal life. Candles symbolize the light of God coming into the world through the birth of His son. The four outer candles represent the period of waiting during the four Sundays of Advent, which themselves symbolize the four centuries of waiting between the prophet Malachi and the birth of Christ. Three of the candles are violet and one is pink. Each candles represents one of the weeks in Advent, the pink one is represents the Third Sunday of Advent, known as Gaudete Sunday. TRADITION PRESERVATION CAMPAIGN Benefactors will be sought for many of the restored sacred objects in the church, including the Cross above the Altar, the Tabernacle, the Stations of the Cross and Resurrection painting by Frank Mason.

This also happened to be the day that the Presepio (Nativity of Mercy), which was hand-crafted in Naples, Italy, was officially installed. A few members from the Scuotto family, the Italian artisans who created this incredible piece, were on hand to witness the blessing by Bishop O’Hara. Immediately after the blessing, Bishop O’Hara celebrated Mass at 6:30 PM. A tremendous amount of work went into preparing Most Precious Blood Church so that there would be sufficient room for the massive sculpture. Additionally, the church had to be cleaned above and beyond its usual level of care for this special event. While all that was taking place, a new sacristy was being built and prepared for immediate use. While we all can look around and see how clean and shiny everything is and how beautiful the Presepio looks in its place at the Baxter Street entrance of the Church, we don’t think anyone realizes just how much physical work went into getting this done, and getting it all done on time. We would like to thank John Amerise, our Operations Manager, for coordinating this huge undertaking. He, together with his staff, put in so many weeks of long-hour days moving furniture, constructing, repairing, polishing and shining, and everything in-between. Monsignor Sakano had a plan; everything was discussed with John and Bill Russo, our Projects Manager; connections were made with electrical companies and contractors for certain portions of the project, and John was responsible for scheduling all of it and making sure everything was completed for the very special event – the blessing of our new, magnificent, hand-crafted Presepio. We congratulate him on a job well done! We also wish to thank Angelo’s of Mulberry Street for donating food for the private reception held for Bishop O’Hara in the dining room of Most Precious Blood’s rectory. Angelo’s was very generous in sending their delicious Italian fare for this special occasion, and we hope the proprietor and her staff will be blessed for their generosity and kindness.
