Second Sunday of Advent: Dec 6, 2015
“John proclaims a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. All flesh shall see the salvation of God” -Luke 3:1-6
Reflection
Baruch speaks of the splendor that lies ahead for the city of Jerusalem and for all of us, regardless of where we call home. Throw off
strife, he tells us, and put on joy. Like a favorite old sweatshirt, joy
fits, and how warm it keeps us, even when the winds blow cold.
Paul knows of this joy as he pens his letter to the Philippians,
praying that they may grow in their ability to discern what is righteous and good. And Luke speaks to us of John, who was foretold by
Isaiah and who sings a similar song—“Prepare the way of the
Lord” (Luke 3:4)—for salvation is at hand.
A man ahead of his time, Baruch spent his days joyful for a distant glory. On this Second Sunday of Advent, Paul and John know
that this glory is upon us.
LISTENING FOR THE CALL
John speaks to us from the desert, a quiet place. Jesus went
there, too, we must now recall. Few of us, perhaps, spend much time
there ourselves, for our world tends to be loud and boisterous and
filled with commotion—especially these days as the holidays approach. But certainly each of us has a quiet place tucked away
somewhere, and in our own individual quiet place—be it at the center of a crowded shopping mall during prime time or at the kitchen
table at dawn—we are all called to embrace John’s message of repentance and preparation.
FOLLOWING THE CALLING
But it goes farther than that, much farther, for this is not only our
call. This is our calling. Priest or congregation, teacher or student,
accountant or zookeeper, parent or child—our collective work in
this world is to heed the Baptist’s directive to prepare the way of the
Lord. And what better time than now, during Advent, to refocus on
our mission and to rededicate ourselves to the most important task
any of us will ever undertake—the gaining of God’s salvation.
Remember Paul’s letter to the Philippians? Let’s personalize it.
Let’s each get rid of the “Brothers and sisters” line and replace it
with our own name. And in keeping with today’s protocol, let’s even
add a “Dear” to the salutation. Now let’s read it again. “Dear Sarah ”
or “Dear Michael” or “Dear P. J.” Suddenly Paul, with joy in his heart,
is praying directly for us that we may live our lives in ways pleasing
to God, thus following John’s call—and our calling—to ready the
way of Jesus. Connected in this fashion, we become pen pals from
across the millennia, and Paul’s joy becomes our joy at the coming
of our Lord. And ultimately, Baruch’s joy for Jerusalem becomes our
very own “Joy to the World.”
Today’s Readings: Bar 5:1–9; Ps 126:1–6; Phil 1:4–6, 8–11; Lk 3:1–6

Second Collection Dec. 12-13:
Retirement Fund for Religious
Tens of thousands of senior sisters, brothers
and religious order priests have dedicated
their lives to sharing their faith. Generations
of Catholics recall with gratitude their work in
Catholic Schools, hospitals and social service
agencies. Yet years of ministering for little or
no pay came at a price, and now their religious communities lack adequate savings for
retirement and eldercare. Your gift to the
Retirement Fund for Religious helps provide
prescription medications, nursing care and
more. Please be generous.
Weekly Collection
Your continued generosity in the weekly
collections is greatly appreciated. The collection amount for the week ending,

Making the Advent Wreath a
Daily Custom:
The Advent
wreath helps us
keep our
thoughts focused on the coming of Christ at
Christmas, so we should integrate it
into our daily activities. The easiest
way is to make it a part of our evening meal. The family gathers around
the wreath and lights the appropriate
candles. The father (or other leader)
prays the Advent wreath prayer for
that week, and the candles are left
burning during the meal.
After Grace After Meals, you could
read the daily Scripture reading for
Advent or recite the Saint Andrew
Christmas novena before extinguishing the candles.
THANK YOU!
Ready, Set, Sew! We wish to thank
Jenny Rodriguez, Mary Bennett, Patricia Cox, Julie Hawkins and Sandy
Perry for helping with the sewing
needs of our parish. Together, these
ladies sewed several altar server
gowns for our youths, some altar
cloths and numerous articles of sacred linens used during Mass. Thank
your for your generosity of time!
Lost & Found
Have you misplaced your favorite
pair of readers or sunglasses? Can’t
seem to find your keys, scarf or your
daughter’s headband? Come by the
Parish Office to see if it has made its
way into the St. Mary’s lost and
found container. It is literally full to
the brim of unclaimed items.
Thank You.

Charles Church on the feast day itself, December 12th.

and the Pro-Life movement. Now more than ever, we
must speak in a united voice seeking her intercession to
change the hearts of those who do not uphold the dignity of human life.

Segundo Domingo de Adviento: 6 de diciembre 2015
“Juan proclama un bautismo de arrepentimiento para el perdón de los pecados.
Todos podrán ver la salvación de Dios” -Lucas 3:1-6
Reflexión
ESCUCHAR EL LLAMADO
Juan nos habla del desierto, un lugar tranquilo. Nos
acordamos que Jesús también fue allí. Ummm. Tal vez, muy
pocos de nosotros pasamos mucho tiempo allí, porque
nuestro mundo por lo regular es muy ruidoso, estrepitoso y
lleno de conmoción –especialmente en estos días cercanos a
las fiestas. Pero ciertamente cada uno de nosotros tiene un
lugar silencioso escondido en algún sitio, y en ese sitio
personal de silencio –ya sea en el centro de una plaza
comercial a la hora de más actividad o en la cocina al
amanecer– estamos llamados a abrazar el mensaje de Juan de
arrepentimiento y preparación.
SIGUIENDO EL LLAMADO
Pero va más lejos, mucho más, porque esto no es sólo
nuestro llamado. Es nuestro misión. Sacerdote o congregación,
maestro o estudiante, contador o cuidador de animales, padre
o niño –nuestra labor colectiva en este mundo es escuchar las
instrucciones del Bautista para que preparemos el camino del
Señor. Y que mejor momento que ahora, durante el Adviento,
para re-enfocar nuestra misión y rededicarnos a la tarea más
importante que podemos realizar –obtener la salvación de
Dios.
¿Te acuerdas de la carta de Pablo a los filipenses?
Personalízala. Echa a un lado la frase “Hermanos y hermanas” y
reemplázala con tu propio nombre. Y siguiendo el protocolo
de hoy, añadamos un “Querido” al saludo. Leámosla
nuevamente. “Querida Sara”, o “Querido Miguel”, o “Querido
J.P.” De repente, Pablo, con gran alegría, está orando
directamente por nosotros para que tengamos vidas
agradables a Dios, y siguiendo el llamado de Juan –y nuestro
llamado– para preparar el camino de Jesús. Vinculados así, nos
convertimos en amigos por correspondencia en el transcurso
de los siglos, y la alegría de Pablo se convierte en nuestra
alegría por la venida del Señor. Y a fin de cuentas, la alegría de
Baruc en Jerusalén se convierte en nuestra propia Alegría al
Mundo.
Lecturas de hoy: Bar 5:1–9; Sal 126:1–6; Fil 1:4–6, 8–11; Lc
3:1–6

sacristanes, lectores, monaguillos, ministros Extraordinarios de la
Sagrada Comunión y acomodadores
.
Hay un plan programado de actividades regulares para el año
de la Misericordia y los mantendremos informados conforme se
desarrolle. Algunas cosas que ustedes pueden tomar en consideración para hacer durante este Año de Jubileo de la Misericordia:
• Perdonar a los que les han herido o les han hecho mal. Si es
posible, considere perdonar deudas que se le deben y/o devolver lo que le han empeñado.
• Vaya a confesarse regularmente - mensualmente o semanalmente.
• Leer y meditar las Sagradas Escrituras, especialmente el
Evangelio de S. Lucas.
• Hacer una o más obras de misericordia diariamente.
• Ir en peregrinación.
• Compartir la Buena Nueva de la misericordia de Dios a través
de sus propias palabras y buenas acciones.
EL SACRAMENTO DE LA UNCIÓN DE LOS ENFERMOS SE
OFRECE DESPUÉS DE LA MISA DE 5PM EL SÁBADO
En conjunto con el Año de Jubileo de la
Misericordia, se ofrecerá el sacramento de la
unción de los enfermos después de la misa de
5:00 p.m. del sábado en la Sagrada Familia a
partir del 12 de diciembre. Aquellos que
deseen recibir la unción se les pide que por
favor se reúnan en las primeras bancas de la
iglesia a la conclusión de la misa. Estará

puedan mantener un record de los que
reciben el sacramento.

TRIDUO DE MISAS LA VIRGEN DE GUADALUPE
En anticipación a la celebración de toda la
parroquia en honor a Nuestra Señora de
Guadalupe, se celebrará un triduo de misas en la
Iglesia de la Sagrada Familia el jueves y viernes,
10 y 11 de diciembre a las 7:00 pm con la
tercera y última misa que se celebrará a las 7:00
a.m. en la Iglesia de San Carlos, el día de la
fiesta, el 12 de diciembre.
Por favor tome en cuenta que el 10 y 11 de
diciembre, la misa diaria de las 8 a.m. no se
celebrará. Le ofrecemos a la comunidad
parroquial la oportunidad de honrar a Nuestra
Señora de Guadalupe, la gran patrona de las
Américas, como una comunidad unida, por
medio de la celebración de la Santa Misa. Bajo
este título, María también es la Patrona de los
no nacidos y el movimiento Pro-Vida. Ahora
más que nunca, tenemos que hablar con una
voz unida en busca de su intercesión para
cambiar los corazones de aquellos que no
respetan la dignidad de la vida humana.
FIESTA DE LA INMACULADA CONCEPCIÓN
DE MARÍA
La Fiesta de la Inmaculada Concepción de
María tiene una importancia especial este año,
ya que comienza el Año Jubilar de la
Misericordia. Además de las misas que se
ofrecerán para este día de precepto, también se
ofrecerán confesiones y se expondrá el
Santísimo Sacramento. El calendario es el
siguiente:
Lunes, 7 de diciembre - Vigilia a las 6:00 p.m.
(inglés) San Carlos Borromeo
Martes, 8 de diciembre, día de precepto
actual:
Sagrada Familia - 8 a.m. y 7:00 p.m. - español
Santa María - 7:00 a.m. y 12:15 y 6:00 p.m. inglés
Confesiones: 12:45 - 1:15 p.m. - Santa María
Exposición del Santísimo Sacramento / La
Coronilla de la Divina Misericordia
7-8 p.m. - iglesia de Santa María - inglés
8-9 p.m. -iglesia de la Sagrada Familia español
Para todos los ministros de liturgia – guarde la fecha -Marquen
sus calendarios
Habrá una oportunidad de reunirse para reflexionar y renovar nuestro
compromiso de fe en nuestro ministerio litúrgico. 30 de enero
8:30am. Vean el boletín para más información.
VÍSTETE DE GOZO
Hoy Baruc nos habla del esplendor que se acerca para la ciudad de
Jerusalén y para todos nosotros, sea donde fuere nuestro hogar. Despójate de conflictos, nos dice, y vístete de gozo. Como una vieja cobija favorita, el gozo nos queda a la medida, y qué bien nos mantiene
calientes, por muy frío que sople el viento.
Pablo sabe de ese gozo cuando escribe su carta a los filipenses,
orando para que crezcan en su habilidad de discernir lo que es bueno
y justo. Y Lucas nos habla de Juan, el que fue anunciado por Isaías y
que canta una canción parecida: “Preparen el camino del Señor” pues
la salvación está al llegar.
