 Pastoral Notes
O Emmanuel
As Christmas is fast approaching, the Church prepares with
more eagerness for the festivities we have around the corner.
Those who follow the daily readings or take a look at the
Roman Missal (the book which contains the texts and rubrics
of the Mass), may notice that starting on the 17th of December,
the Liturgy has its own proper readings and its own proper
prayers for Mass.
December 17th marks the beginning of this intense time of
expectation for the birth of Jesus. The Liturgy of the Hours has
the so-called “O” antiphons, which precede the Magnificat
during Evening Prayer. It is an ancient part of our Liturgy that
goes back at least to the 4th century of the Church. Each of
the antiphons addresses Christ with seven magnificent
Messianic titles. These Messianic titles are based on the Old
Testament prophecies and types of Christ:
1. Adam: Rm 5:12-21, 1 Cor 15:22-45;
2. Moses: Acts 3:22, Hb 3:1-5;
3. The Passover Lamb: 1 Cor 5:7, Jn 1:29, 1 Pt 1:19-20;
4. The bronze serpent: Jn 3:14;
5. Jonah: Matthew 12:39-41;
6. High priest: Hb 2:17; 4:15–16; 5:10;
7. Melchizedek: Hb 7:1-3; 15-17, Hb 6:20).
Prior to Christmas, the Church recalls the variety of the ills of
humanity before the coming of the Redeemer, and sees in
Christ a remedy, the one who restores everything to God.
The Seven Messianic titles contained in the “O” antiphons are:
O Sapientia (O Wisdom);
O Adonai (O Sacred Lord);
O Radix Jesse (O Flower of Jesse’s stem);
O Clavis David (O Key of David);
O Oriens (O Radiant Dawn);
O Rex Gentium (O King of all the nations);
O Emmanuel (O Emmanuel).
The Lord is the fulfillment of the promises of old. He is the
Anointed One who has come to bring good news to the fallen
human race. Christ is the summit of humanity, therefore, it is in
Him in whom we find hope and the remedy to all human
ailments.
With faith in the Lord, with a longing heart, live purposefully
these days towards the birth of Jesus, knowing that He is
indeed Emmanuel – God is with us.
Healing Corner
Hail Mary full of Grace, the Lord is with you. Blessed are you
among women and Blessed is the fruit of your womb, Jesus. Holy
Virgin Mary, Mother of My Lord and Saviour, pray for me, a sinner
now and at the Hour of my death. Amen.

SYNOD DIOCESAN PHASE – UPDATES
Bishop William T. McGrattan calls on all faithful, clergy,
religious, and consecrated life in the Diocese of Calgary to join
him in local synodal gatherings with a renewed commitment to
follow the way Jesus has always journeyed with his beloved
children, to become a listening Church and a Church of
closeness where all can experience being at home and
participate in building the Kingdom of God.
Starting January 2022 to May 2022, we will begin the
consultation process at the Diocesan and pastoral zone levels,
followed by gatherings in parishes, religious communities, lay
associations, institutions, and opportunity for online
participation.
How do I participate?
- Diocesan level consultation has been taking place through
the Pastoral Discernment Advisory Committee that includes
representatives throughout the Diocesan community.
- Pastoral Zone consultations will include participants from all
parish lay leadership and pastors.
- Parish and Community consultations will gather all
members of Christ’s faithful, particularly those at the
margins or who feel excluded.
- Information will be provided through parish websites and
bulletins in February 2022.
- Those who cannot participate in local gatherings will be
able to contribute via online platform.
