We Pray for our Sick.....
The church unites in praying for those who are critically ill. Our prayers can be a very effective channel for the healing power of
Christ. Some people have a crisis or illness. Others are chronically ill. Both types of situations need the care and concern of the
entire Body of Christ.
At the request of concerned family members, names of the critically ill will be placed on our prayer list and will remain on the sick
list for four (4) weeks. After that time they will be removed from the list. If a member of the family or the sick person himself or
herself wishes to remain on the list, they have only to call or e-mail us and we will be happy to oblige.

Reflection- We must be good stewards of God’s gifts to us, receiving them gratefully and cultivating them
with care lest we be the ones about whom John the Baptist speaks today: “Every tree that does not bear good
fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.”
General Intercession for Mass- That as stewards who watch and wait, we seek the grace to repent of our
sinfulness and prepare to welcome the Savior, we pray to the Lord.
Living Stewardship- We are grateful this week for all stewards in our parish who strive to consider how
they are fulfilling God’s purpose to be of service to our parish and to the wider community.

Fr Daniel’s Letter
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ!
Jumping ahead, if I may, next Sunday, on Gaudete Sunday, that great day when we get to wear stunning
rose vestments, will offer us another reason to rejoice in the visit of Bishop Andrzej Zglejszewski, Auxiliary Bishop of the Diocese of Rockville Centre and Episcopal Vicar for our region. Bishop Andrzej (ahn-zhay – Polish orthography is as wild as English!) has of course been here before – his first Confirmation as a Bishop was here – but
this time he comes for a Visitation.
A Parish Visitation – they used to be quite regular, but with the mounting demands on bishops, they have
sadly become less familiar – is a wonderful opportunity for the Bishop to get to know a parish, and, likewise, for
the people to get to know their bishop. Usually, one only sees bishops in the parishes, for entirely understandable
reasons, on the occasions of either Confirmations or the Funerals of Priests, at which time the visiting bishop does
not really have the opportunity to see the parish as it is, either because of the fact that so many people who usually
aren’t at Mass show up for those events or because the nature of the event precludes it.
But to have a bishop come and spend a weekend with us is a great honor and pleasure. Bishop Andrzej
will celebrate the 4:30 Saturday Evening Anticipatory Mass next Saturday (10 December) and the 10:15 Mass on
Sunday morning (11 December). He will also be available after all of the other Masses, at which he will speak
briefly, to greet you.
On Saturday, we have a series of meetings with the Bishop, but at 2:30pm, Bishop Andrzej will make time
to meet with any interested parishioners who would like to stop by. We will be in the Monsignor Healy Room in
the Convent. Please make the effort to join us at one of the two Masses he will celebrate, if possible, and please
keep him and our Ordinary, Bishop Murphy, in your prayers.
༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻༺༻
In a off-beat conversation the other day about the academic propriety of quoting one’s own writings in
subsequent publications (Thanksgiving Dinner was sure fun by us!), there popped into my head a gently trenchant,
self-mocking line, uttered by a famous Catholic author and gentleman (who will, for lightly ironic reasons, not be
cited now) whose talk I was attending years ago. He said: “If you will permit me to commit the unpardonable sin of
quoting myself...” and then proceeded to do so. I’ve never forgotten that. It was great!
With that in mind, since the (then) unjust accuation1 of this very crime was hurled at me, even if in a
friendly, Thanksgiving-dinner kind of way, and even while believing that autoplagerism is perhaps reprobate and
demeritorious, maybe even inverecund, it cannot (at least theologically speaking) be irremissible, I dare now to
commit the crime of which I was heretofore innocent. So I reprint, with minor adjustments, a previous article on a
(obviously to me) fascinating topic, the value of which, I believe, merits my boldness.2
________________________________
1 In particular – that I quote my own Bulletin Articles in other Bulletin Articles! Can you imagine?
2 This article comes from a time3 before I had broken the “footnotes in parish bulletin articles” barrier, so I apologize for its
relative straightforwardness and clarity.
3 St Patrick Parish Bulletin, 21 December 2014, reprinted with the shamefaced permission but against the better judgement of
the author.
“There is one final word which I would like to share with, a word I very much love, an Aramaic word (Aramaic was
the language which Jesus spoke; Hebrew was by that time mostly a liturgical language) which many know from
songs or prayers – Maranatha.
This marvelous word comes to us from the New Testament (St. Paul and Revelation). It is the Greek attempt
to reproduce the sound of not just a single word but of a phrase, written as one word. Since Greek has a limited
ability to reproduce carefully the sounds of Aramaic, we are left with something of either a delightful puzzle or a
very frustrating conundrum, or as I see it, a providential mystery.
One of the possible versions of the presumed original form of the word/phrase is: Máran átha (the way it is
usually pronounced and interpreted) which can be rendered into English as: “Our Lord has come.” or “Our Lord
is coming.” Actually, it’s a bit of both (Aramaic, like Hebrew, plays tricks with tenses). It describes what has
already happened but what is also happing now. I would personally defend (and vigorously!) my own slightly
archaic phrasing of “Our Lord is come.” (much the way we say “Christ is risen” rather than simply “Christ has
risen”) as best expressing both aspects of the Máran átha interpretation.
If, however, we think the original might have been: Marána tha (gaining popularity these days as a
reconstruction of the original text), we come up with an exhortation: “Our Lord, come!” There are lots of
excruciatingly complicated linguistic debates about the likelihood of this form, and if you enjoy arguing about hairsplittingly insignificant aspects of the grammars of ancient languages, give me a call! We could start a club; I just
got a new grammar of ancient Babylonian (normalized, sadly, and not in cuneiform), but for some reason, the good
Fathers just smiled and walked away quickly when I shared this good news with them. [Update – I have hardly
made any progress in ancient Babylonian! And the other Canons still walk away when I start talking about it. Plus
ça change…]
Anyway. The form Marána tha is defensible, and so we are left with the question: which one is the correct
reconstruction of the original, which was certainly a word of great importance in the early Church? Is it a creedal
statement, telling the world (and reminding and comforting the believers) that the Lord and His Kingdom is already
here, even if not completely? Or is it a prayer for His Coming and His establishing that Kingdom?
Why not both? Isn’t Advent the time when we do exactly both of those things? On the one hand we profess
before the world that Christ has already come, already been born – that’s why were celebrating, isn’t it? – and that
His Coming is what has given us our mission in this world. And on the other hand, are we not praying devoutly and
with longing for His Coming Again – not just symbolically at Christmas, and not only at the End of Time (although
we should look forward to that! But that’s another story) – but most especially in the Now, in this very moment, so
that He might live more fully in us (and we in Him), and that His Kingdom, already truly here, if at times hard to
see and often covered up by the world’s indifference, might become manifest to all? This tiny word offers us so
much – the comfort of His already having been born among us and the longing for His Coming again!
Máran átha! Marána tha! Come, Lord Jesus!”

Parish Notes
NOËL
The Pastor and Assistant Priest extend to all the members of St. Patrick’s Parish greetings and heartfelt good
wishes for a joyful Christmas and a blessed New Year.
May the spirit of Christmas, the spirit of charity and gentleness and love of God, enter each home in our parish
and abide there throughout all the days of the coming
year. “To men of good will” was the angelic promise given
of peace and contentment on this earth – behold in
those words the assurance to us all, if we will but choose
it, of a true “Happy New Year.”
ADVENT
With the first day of Advent we Catholics are bidden
“to rise from sleep,” because the anniversary of Christ’s
first meek and humble coming is at hand. We are told to
“cast off the works of darkness, and put on the armor of
light”; and this is not simply for Christmas, but for that
other Coming, at once made plain to us in Holy Writ of
the Redeemer in His Divine power and majesty to judge
the earth.
It is a trumpet call to the slothful, not to forget what
their profession as children of the Church may mean; “to
look up, and lift up our eyes,” and see if there is none
struggling to the light which we have in it’s fullness, and
to whom we can put forth a helping hand. Indeed, it is a
question if there ever was a time when earnest men and
women were so wearied with dissension, so fearful for
the fate of their country and the human race; and so
drawn, albeit unwittingly, to the old Catholic ways.
Publicists, political economists, give us figures that are
fearful to think of, if we are to hold the land we have
won. We can afford to smile grimly at the creatures of
limited minds who refuse to the native-born children of
foreign-born parents the title “American,” and declare
that it takes four generations to make a man worthy to
bear that title. Ah, me! The thoughtless persons who
make these dogmatic pronouncements won’t have anyone to represent them four generations hence!
“Trade till I come!” says the Master. Our trading consists
merely in the booking, merely in the intention; the deeds
we do all day long, the simple deeds of the common day,
are the goods. Each simple deed of every common day of
the soul in grace, has a worth ten thousand times greater
than the worth of the millions of a millionaire.
CHRISTMAS THOUGHTS
How full, how busy are these days preceding Christmas. There is so much planning to be done, so much
time and consideration to be given to the selection of
appropriate gifts for the friends whom we always remember at this great time of gift-giving.
And is there not just a little danger in the midst of all
the excitement of preparation and planning, that we may
not think as often as we might of just what sort of gift we
are preparing for our best and truest friend whose Christmas gift to us is none other than Himself?
What a pity we should permit petty annoyances and
superfluous worries to eliminate from our minds all
thought of that sweetest love story the world has ever
known, the tale old yet ever new, of the gift that Heaven
bestowed on us that first sweet Christmas night when
Christ the Saviour was ushered into our sinful world.
Let us then not think mainly of the material side and so
little of the spiritual significance of the beautiful feast of
feasts, but keep uppermost in our minds during these
Advent days what Christmas really is.
He asks for our hearts. That is the only gift He desires.
Will we not strive to make them worthy of Him and not
slight our best of friends, on Christmas Day?
Mothers, who carry out their vocation seriously and
recognize that they are rearing and training immortal beings for eternity, will not weary of telling Johnnie to be
kind and Mamie to be truthful, for God’s sake.
They are greater than sculptors. They are fashioning souls
for Heaven.

The prayer attached to the bottle will enable the
counselors at The Life Center to say just the right
words a mother or father may need to hear. It especially opens a mother’s heart to accept the truth.
We believe these prayers lead abortion-minded
women to call The Life Center in the first place.
Thanks to all who contributed so generously to the
Food Pantry over the last few weeks. You made a
big difference in the lives of many of our
brothers and sisters!
As we know, hunger takes no holiday. So please
keep us on your shopping list throughout the year.
May all the Blessings of the season be yours.

Isaías 11:1-10
Hay dos imágenes muy fuertes
en este pasaje: el árbol y el
soplo. En toda la Escritura, se
asocia el árbol con imágenes
de la dinastía real. Isaías compara la dinastía de David con un vestigio de
lo que había sido un árbol frondoso; pero
alienta a sus seguidores a no perder la esperanza, porque Dios puede infundir vida en
ese tronco. La vida viene del soplo, el espíritu
o ruaj, que ya antes de la creación se cernía
sobre las aguas. Este mismo espíritu es el
que invadirá al futuro Mesías, que viene
del tronco de David. Es el Mesías quien
traerá armonía y paz a todo el mundo.
Romanos 15:4-9
El apóstol pone el acento sobre la obligación de los fuertes de aceptar a los
que son más débiles y compartir la carga.
También hace una llamada a compartir los
dones y a celebrar la riqueza, hasta destruir
la última barrera que separa: el miedo, la
sospecha y el rechazo a lo diferente.
Mateo 3:1-12
El tema del reino es central en el evangelio
de Mateo. Antes del exilio babilónico había un
mito sobre el reino de Dios, en el que el poderoso creaba cielos y tierra, libraba a los
oprimidos y destruía a los enemigos y daba a
su pueblo la tierra prometida. El mito de este
Dios guerrero era la base del Israel antiguo;
pero cuando su sueño se vio enfrentado a
una realidad de exilio y destrucción, se cambió la idea del reino material a algo escatológico, para poder dar esperanza a la gente en
tiempos de persecución y destrucción. El mal
El evangelio nos pone delante de los ojos el ejemplo de Juan Bautista, que se declara indigno de
desatar las correas de las sandalias del Señor, porque su misión es sólo anunciar su llegada. Esta
actitud humilde es propuesta a los cristianos en el segundo domingo de Adviento, porque la humildad acalla los ruidos interiores y permite tener los oídos abiertos a su palabra; la humildad
nos abre el corazón para recibir su llegada con integridad y valentía para cambiar; la humildad
nos descentra de nosotros mismos para mirar por dónde pasa el Reino de Dios y nos libera de la
soberbia que es autosuficiente.
espaldas al Padre del Cielo y a sus hijos que
sufren en la tierra. Ese estilo de vida los
hará cada vez menos humanos.
1. Despertar... El Señor no quiere gente
dormida, ni gente que se desentienda de la
realidad, ni que delegue en otros el encargo
de vigilar y trabajar. Los dormidos y adocenados no sirven para el Reino.
2. Tener cuidado... «Que no se nuble la
mente con el vicio y los agobios de la vida».
La advertencia está dirigida precisamente a
los instalados, a los que solo se preocupan
de sus cosas. No se acostumbren a vivir con
un corazón insensible y endurecido, buscando llenar su vida de bienestar y placer, de
3. Ser lúcidos y críticos... Despertar al presente, a lo que acontece y está cerca. Ser
críticos ante los acontecimientos de nuestra
aldea global y que pueden oscurecer la venida del Señor.
4. Preguntar... Preguntar no sólo qué pasa
sino qué tiene que pasar, y qué tenemos
que hacer aquí y ahora para que se cumpla
la voluntad de Dios.
5. Vigilar... El Adviento es tensión hacia el
futuro. «Ponernos en pie y alzar la cabeza.
Se acerca nuestra liberación». No mirar el
futuro sólo desde nuestros cálculos.
6. Celebrar... Preparémonos a celebrar con
gozo el acontecimiento de la aparición pri-
Hoy se necesitan personas que sean testigos de la misericordia
y de la ternura del Señor, que sacude a los
resignados, reanima a
los desalentados, enciende el fuego de la
esperanza. ¡Él enciende el fuego de la esperanza! ¡Nosotros, no! Muchas situaciones
requieren nuestro testimonio consolador. Ser
personas alegres, consoladas. Pienso en
aquellos que están oprimidos por sufrimientos, injusticias y abusos; a los que son esclavos del dinero, del poder, del éxito, de la
mundanidad. Pobrecillos. Tienen consuelos
falsos.
No, el verdadero consuelo del Señor. Todos
estamos llamados a consolar a nuestros hermanos, testimoniando que sólo Dios puede
eliminar las causas de los dramas existenciales y espirituales. ¡Él puede hacerlo! ¡Es poderoso!
Papa Francisco (Ángelus, 7/12/2014).
mera de la bondad y el amor de Dios en
Jesús.
7. Mantener nuestra fe en las promesas del
Dios liberador.
8. Descubrir... Descubrir el paso de ese Dios
Padre en la historia y en el corazón de los
hombres.
9. Esperar... Y para descubrir a Cristo que
viene en las situaciones actuales, lo razonable es la esperanza. No se desanimen, pongan su granito de arena; si se empeñan, las
cosas pueden cambiar.
10. Liberarse... Liberarse de las esclavitudes
e ignorancias. Mirar la vida consciente y
libremente con sus ojos. Sentir su presencia
amorosa, comprensiva, estimulante.
