Saint Francis Xavier (1506-1552), was touched, after a long resistance, by the words constantly repeated to him by Saint Ignatius Loyola: "What does it profit a man if he gains the whole World, and suffers the loss of his own Soul ?" He then became one of Saint Ignatius' most zealous fellow-workers in the newly-formed Society of Jesus (The Jesuits).
"Go ye into the whole World, and Preach the Gospel to every creature," says the Gospel. "Their sound hath gone forth into all the Earth, and their words unto the ends of the whole World," adds the Epistle.
This was the programme of the whole life of Saint Francis Xavier," whose Preaching and Miracles added to The Church the Nations of The Indies" (Collect). He Preached the Gospel there, and in Japan, to more than fifty Kingdoms, and converted innumerable pagans.
Let us share in the Apostolic zeal of this Saint, who has earned the glorious Title of Patron of The Propagation of The Faith; and let us help this work with our Prayers and our Alms.

Saint Francis Xavier, S.J. (born Francisco de Jasso y Azpilicueta, 7 April 1506 – 3 December 1552), was a Navarrese-Basque Roman Catholic Missionary, born in Javier (Xavier in Navarro-Aragonese or Xabier in Basque), Kingdom of Navarre (now part of Spain), and a co-founder of The Society of Jesus. He was a companion of Saint Ignatius of Loyola and one of the first seven Jesuits who took vows of Poverty and Chastity at Montmartre, Paris in 1534.
He led an extensive Mission into Asia, mainly in The Portuguese Empire of the time, and was influential in Evangelisation work, most notably in India. He also was the first Christian Missionary to venture into Japan, Borneo, The Maluku Islands, and other areas. In those areas, struggling to learn the local languages and in the face of opposition, he had less success than he had enjoyed in India. Xavier was about to extend his Missionary Preaching to China, but died in Shangchuan Island shortly before he could do so.

12 March 1622. In 1624, he was made Co-Patron of Navarre. Known as "The Apostle of The Indies," and "The Apostle of Japan", he is considered to be one of the greatest Missionaries since Saint Paul.
In 1927, Pope Pius XI published the Decree "Apostolicorum in Missionibus", naming Saint Francis Xavier, along with Saint Thérèse of Lisieux, Co-Patron of all Foreign Missions. He is now Co-Patron Saint of Navarre, with San Fermin. The Day of Navarre (Día de Navarra) marks the Anniversary of Saint Francis Xavier's death, on 3 December 1552.

Saint Bibiana was born in Rome of a noble Christian family; and, as the Collect tells us, in her the Flower of Virginity was united with the Palm of Martyrdom.
A wise and prudent Virgin (Gradual), she was less afraid of the loss of all her goods and of her sufferings of imprisonment, than of the loss of that Hidden Treasure or that Pearl of Great Price, of which the Gospel speaks.
When delivered to the caresses and flattery off her jailer, Rufinus, who strove to pervert her, she called upon The Lord, Who saved her from destruction (Epistle).
Rufinus then had recourse to violence, but with no greater success. Seeing which, the enraged Governor of Rome ordered that Bibiana should be tied to a Column, and beaten to death with thongs loaded with lead (363 A.D.) The Basilica of Saint Mary Major was built over her tomb.

The following Text is from Wikipedia - the free encyclopaedia,
unless otherwise stated.
Saint Finbarre's Cathedral, (Irish: Ardeaglais Naomh Fionnbarra) is a Cathedral of The Church of Ireland, in Cork City, Ireland. It is in The Ecclesiastical Province of Dublin. Begun in 1863, the Cathedral was the first major work of the Victorian architect William Burges. Previously the Cathedral of The Diocese of Cork, it is now one of three Cathedrals in The Diocese of Cork, Cloyne and Ross.
The current Cathedral is built on the site of at least two previous structures that were Dedicated to Finbarre of Cork.The first dated from the 7th-Century A.D., with works continuing through to the 12th-Century. This building was damaged during The Siege of Cork (1690), and a new structure was built in 1735 - though elements of the earlier Spire were retained.

This structure remained until the 1860s, when a competition for the building of a new, larger Cathedral was held in 1862. In February 1863, the design of the architect William Burges was declared the winner of the competition to build a new Cathedral of Saint Finbarre. His diary records his reaction - "Got Cork !" - whilst the Cathedral accounts record the payment of the winning prize sum of £100. Building work took seven years before the first Service was held in the Cathedral in 1870. Building, carving and decoration continued into the 20th-Century, long after Burges's death in 1881.

The style of the building is Early-French, Burges's favoured Period and a Style he continued to favour throughout his life, choosing it for his own home, The Tower House, in Kensington. The stipulated price for construction was to be £15,000, a sum vastly exceeded. The total cost came to significantly over £100,000. Burges was "unconcerned" (his own words) in his Letter of January 1877 to The Bishop of Cork: "(In the future) the whole affair will be on its trial and, the elements of time and cost being forgotten, the result only will be looked at. The great questions will then be, first, is this work beautiful, and, secondly, have those to whom it was entrusted, done it with all their heart and all their ability."
Burges oversaw all aspects of the design, including the architecture of the building, the statuary, the Stained-Glass and the Internal decoration. The result is "undoubtedly, Burges's greatest work in Ecclesiastical architecture".

National Geographic Magazine Lauds The Blessed Virgin Mary. Deo Gratias. America Will Start Using The "C"-Word (Christmas), Next, Instead Of "Holidays".
This Article is taken from THAT THE BONES YOU HAVE CRUSHED MAY THRILL
The Front Cover of the December 2015 edition of National Geographic Magazine.
Illustration: THAT THE BONES YOU HAVE CRUSHED MAY THRILL
National Geographic Magazine had Our Blessed Lady on The Front Cover, December 2015. Usually, magazines available in newsagents depict women in a rather graceless fashion (it makes more money).
How refreshing it is, then, to see Our Heavenly Queen, Full of Grace, grace such a widely-read magazine.
The Article, which features Marian Shrines, new and old, recognised and unrecognised, is entitled 'How The Virgin Mary Became The World's Most Powerful Woman' and it can be read HERE.
'Thou art beautiful, above the sons of men: Grace is poured abroad in thy lips; therefore, hath God Blessed thee for ever.'
Let's Pray that more magazines, more and more, look to Mary as the full expression of womanhood and the true model of beauty and strength,'for charm is deceptive and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears The Lord is to be praised.'

Have You Got Your "Tandry Whigs" ? Soft Buns Served On Saint Andrew's Day, 30 November.
This Article can be found at MEDIEVAL HISTORIES
Detail of a Calendar Page for December, with a bas-de-page scene of men sledging and warming themselves by a fire, from The Golf Book (Book of Hours, Use of Rome), Workshop of Simon Bening, Netherlands (Bruges), circa 1540, Additional MS 24098, f. 30r. © British Library. Source: Pinterest.

Tandry Whigs are soft buns served on Saint Andrew’s Day on 30 November. The modern version has Mediaeval roots. Here is a recipe.
The word Wig, or Whig, probably stems from Old Norse and means ‘soft’; thus, Wigs or Whigs (modern Norse/Danish: Vegger). Originally, it meant buns made of wheat, as opposed to rye or barley.
According to very early murals in Denmark, they were perhaps originally formed as Crosses. Later, they became buns softened with eggs and butter or lard. Because of the soft dough, they often had an oval or trapezoid form. As anyone knows, who is used to working with dough made of wheat, water yeast, it is best to mix it to a structure akin to porridge and then let it stand around for a day or a day and a half. The the dough may be spilled onto a floured surface and gently cut into buns, which, as often as not, end up looking like Whigs or Verger, oblong soft buns.
Illustration: MEDIEVAL HISTORIES
According to some reports “Tandry", "Tandra" or "Tandrew” cakes, or Whigs, were enjoyed on The Feast Day of Saint Andrew (30 November).
In the 18th-Century, Tandry (Tandra) cakes turned into a kind of slightly-sweetened bun, made of a plain dough of flour, eggs, sugar, butter and water mixed with yeast. To this, was added currants and lemon peel.
Saint Andrew's Day was also a Traditional day for squirrel hunting. After the animals had been pelted, they were probably stewed with onions, roots, apples and thyme.

RECIPE.
Sourdough-starter.
Half a litre of water is mixed with 10 gr of fresh yeast, and as much flour as it takes to make mixture like a thick porridge. It gets tastier if half the flour is whole-grain, but, in The Middle Ages, people would have wished to get it as sifted and soft as that which was served at Court. Cover it with a cloth and let it stand in a warm kitchen for a day and a night.
Dough.
Mix the Sourdough with a litre of water and circa 1,5 kilos of flour. (For the healthy, but non-Mediaeval version, 1/3 whole grain and 2/3 normal flour). To this should be added 7 tsp. salt.
Work the wet and sticky mixture slowly with your hands, then let it stand around for a bit. Keep coming back during the next two hours and repeat the procedure with wet hands, until it is less sticky. Cover the bowl with a cloth or a wrap and keep it cool until evening.
Place them on a baking sheet. When the oven is warm, place or drag the baking sheet onto the hot baking-tray. Give them ten minutes, until brown, and then another five minutes at 200 C.
Serve them with stew, made from rabbit, hare or squirrel, cooked with roots and herbs in a mixture of apple-juice and broth.

The Feast of Saint Andrew has been kept since the 4th-Century A.D., on 30 November.
Saint Andrew was both an Apostle and a Martyr. The Collect tells us that he was called to govern and teach The Church; and the Epistle and the Gospel deal with the Vocation off him who was the first among The Apostles to know Jesus Christ.
When he was called, he immediately left his nets to become a fisher of men (Gospel), and "his sound hath gone forth into all the Earth to Preach the Gospel of Peace" (Epistle). After the coming of The Holy Ghost, he Preached in Palestine, and then in Scythia, Epirus and Thrace.
"But all have not obeyed the Gospel" (Epistle), and Saint Andrew ere long became The Apostle of The Cross. The priests of Achaia describe his Martyrdom at Patras. He died on that special form of Cross which has ever since been called after him, and "The Lord received his Sacrifice in the odour of sweetness" (Alleluia).
His body, having been first taken to Constantinople, was, in 1210, moved to the Cathedral at Amalfi, in the Kingdom of Naples. In 1462, his head was placed by Pope Pius II in the Basilica of Saint Peter, his brother. His name is inscribed in The Canon of The Mass (First List). Saint Andrew is the Patron Saint of Scotland.
Every Parish Priest Celebrates Mass for the people of his Parish.
Let us, with Saint Andrew, follow Christ even to The Cross.
Mass: Mihi autem.
During Advent, a Commemoration of The Feria is made on every Saint's Day by The Collects of the preceding Sunday. (Ember Days have Proper Collects.)

"Papal Critics Threatened With Excommunication", Said Life Site News. How Many Catholics Have Been Excommunicated In The Last Year For Criticising The Pope ?
Illustration: CLIPART PANDA
Further to the reported News Item, last year (see, below), it would be interesting to ask the question (and, God Willing, get an answer):
HOW MANY CATHOLICS HAVE BEEN EXCOMMUNICATED,
IN THE LAST YEAR,
FOR CRITICISING THE POPE ?
Let's see how long it is
before an answer is forthcoming
from "relevant authorities".
LAST YEAR'S ARTICLE IS REPRODUCED, HEREWITH.
Archbishop Fisichella, President of The Pontifical Council for New Evangelisation.
"Papal critics threatened with Excommunication, as Year of Mercy begins", says Life Site News.
December 7, 2015 (Voice of the Family) – Archbishop Fisichella, President of the Pontifical Council for New Evangelization, has stirred controversy by suggesting that some criticisms of Pope Francis might result in automatic excommunication.
Archbishop Fisichella made his remarks at a Vatican press briefing while explaining how Pope Francis’s new “Missionaries of Mercy” will operate. The 800 “missionaries” will have the power to absolve from penalties previously reserved to the Holy See.
In reference to Canon 1370, which imposes automatic excommunication for “physical violence”against the Roman Pontiif, Archbishop Fisichella said:
I would say that we need to understand well ‘physical violence,’ because sometimes words, too, are rocks and stones, and therefore I believe some of these sins, too, are far more widespread than we might think.
Archbishop Fisichella’s comments will be interpreted by many as an attempt to silence faithful Catholics who are deeply concerned by the direction currently being taken by those who hold offices at the highest levels of the Church.

Zephyrinus says: It will be most interesting to get to the bottom of this story and find out if the alleged threats are, in fact, real.
Or, will there now be the usual "misunderstood" quotes, allied with "obfuscation", with a heavy dose of "I can't actually recall saying that", etc, etc.
IT WOULD BE BENEFICIAL
FOR EVERYBODY IF THIS QUESTION
IS ANSWERED CLEARLY,
QUICKLY, AND HONESTLY.

CHRIST MY COVENANT
Ruth was a Moabitess, who married into the Hebrew family of Elimelech and Naomi, whom she met when they left Bethlehem and relocated to Moab, due to a famine. Elimelech and his two sons died, leaving Naomi and her two daughters-in-law as widows.
When Naomi decided to return to Bethlehem, Ruth decided to go with her, despite the fact that Orpah, Naomi's other daughter-in-law, went back home.
Ruth famously vowed to follow Naomi in the following passage:
" Entreat me not to leave thee,
or to return from following after thee:
for whither thou goest, I will go;
and where thou lodgest, I will lodge:
thy people shall be my people,
and thy God my God:
Where thou diest, will I die,
and there will I be buried:
the LORD do so to me, and more also,
if ought but death part thee and me. "
"Ruth in the Fields"
by Merle Hugues, 1876.
Illustration: BIBLE-PEOPLE
Ruth went to glean in the fields, where she met Boaz. At the instigation of Naomi, she forced Boaz to declare his intentions regarding Ruth by slipping into the threshing floor at night, uncovering his feet, and lying at his feet (Ruth 3:8), in the Mosaic tradition of having the nearest relative be the kinsman redeemer (Leviticus 25:25-55). 
Boaz indicated his desire to marry her, and called Ruth a "woman of noble character". After overcoming the obstacle of having a relative with a stronger claim (per the Mosaic requirements in Deuteronomy 25:7-9), Boaz married Ruth, and they had a son, named Obed.
The genealogy, in the final Chapter of the Book, explains how Ruth became the Great-Grandmother of David: Boaz begot Obed, Obed begot Jesse and Jesse begot David (Ruth 4:17). She is also, thus, the ancestor of Joseph (husband of Mary and foster-father of Jesus), and is one of the five women mentioned in The Genealogy of Matthew (along with Tamar, Rahab, Bathsheba, and Mary).

At Christmas, Jesus will be born into our hearts, for at that time the Anniversary of His Birth will be Celebrated. He refuses nothing to the Prayer of The Church, His Spouse, and thus He will grant to our Souls the same Graces which He gave the Shepherds and the Three Kings.
Christ will come again, also, at the end of time, to "condemn The Guilty to the flames, and to call The Just with a loving voice to Heaven" (Hymn for Matins).
The whole of today's Mass is a preparation for this double Advent of Mercy and Justice. Some parts of it can be applied equally to either (e.g., the Introit, Collect, Gradual, Alleluia), while others refer to our Divine Redeemer's lowly birth, and others, again, (e.g., the Epistle and Gospel), to His coming in the splendour of His power and majesty.
Liturgy for the First Sunday of Advent.

In former times, on this First Sunday of Advent, all the people of Rome made the Station at the Basilica of Saint Mary Major, to assist at The Solemn Mass which the Pope Celebrated, surrounded by his Clergy. This particular Church was chosen because it is Mary who gave us Jesus, and because Relics of the Crib, in which The Blessed Mother placed her Divine Child, are preserved in this Church.
Every Parish Priest says Mass for the people of his Parish.
