Rejoice always I say
again rejoice, says Paul
in our second reading
to the Philippians. Thus today we have Gaudete or
“rejoice” Sunday on our Advent journey.
John the Baptist is being asked by various groups
of people “What should we do?” He has an answer
for each group depending on who they are: first, the
crowds are told to share their clothing and food; second tax collectors told to be honest; third, soldiers
too are told to be honest and “satisfied with your
wages.” What might John the Baptist say to us?
John also clears up for the people his identity. He
is clear with the people that “one mightier than I is
coming. I am not worth to loosen the thongs of his
sandals.” Do we find ourselves with such humility as
we prepare for Christmas?
John then exhorts the people by preaching the
“good news” to them. We too are called to preach the
Gospel or Good News at all times, not just at Christmas. As we have less than two weeks before the celebration of the birth of our savior let us rejoice that
we can in faith, hope and love, persevere in the
preaching the Good News of the child Jesus!
—————————————————————Laudato Si
Some countries are gradually making significant progress, developing more effective controls and working to
combat corruption. People may well have a growing ecological sensitivity but it has not succeeded in changing
their harmful habits of consumption which, rather than
decreasing, appear to be growing all the more. A simple
example is the increasing use and power of airconditioning. The markets, which immediately benefit
from sales, stimulate ever greater demand. An outsider
looking at our world would be amazed at such behavior,
which at times appears self-destructive.
In the meantime, economic powers continue to justify
the current global system where priority tends to be given
to speculation and the pursuit of financial gain, which fail
to take the context into account, let alone the effects on
human dignity and the natural environment. Here we see
how environmental deterioration and human and ethical
degradation are closely linked. Many people will deny
doing anything wrong because distractions constantly dull
our consciousness of just how limited and finite our world
really is. As a result, “whatever is fragile, like the environment, is defenseless before the interests of a deified
market, which become the only rule”.

Alégrense siempre en el
Del Escritorio
Señor, se lo repito:
Del Párroco
alégrense, dice San Pablo
a los filipenses y a
nosotros hoy. Por eso hoy tenemos domingo de Gaudete o
sea domingo de gozo.
Varios grupos en el evangelio se pregunta a Juan el
Bautista, “Que debemos hacer?” El contesta de que tienen
que ser generosos, honestos y a los soldados,
“conténtense con su salario.” Que nos dice Juan el
Bautista hoy?
También Juan se necesita ser claro con su identidad.
El dice a la gente, “ya viene otro mas poderoso que yo, a
quien no merezco desatarle las correas de sus sandalias.”
Nos encontramos tan humildes antes de la Navidad
también? En la humildad encontramos felicidad.
Juan sigue exhortando la gente por la predicación de
la buena nueva o sea el evangelio. Nosotros también
vamos a seguir predicando con nuestras vidas antes y
después de la navidad!
Gracias a todos por todas las actividades alrededor de
Guadalupe! Esta semana empezamos con las posadas.
Todos están invitados a participar y gozar de nuestra vida
justo antes de la Navidad!
———————————————————————-
Laudato Si
Poco a poco algunos países pueden mostrar avances
importantes, el desarrollo de controles más eficientes y
una lucha más sincera contra la corrupción. Hay más
sensibilidad ecológica en las poblaciones, aunque no
alcanza para modificar los hábitos dañinos de consumo,
que no parecen ceder sino que se amplían y desarrollan.
Es lo que sucede, para dar sólo un sencillo ejemplo, con el
creciente aumento del uso y de la intensidad de los
acondicionadores de aire. Los mercados, procurando un
beneficio inmediato, estimulan todavía más la demanda.
Si alguien observara desde afuera la sociedad planetaria,
se asombraría ante semejante comportamiento que a veces
parece suicida.
Mientras tanto, los poderes económicos continúan
justificando el actual sistema mundial, donde priman una
especulación y una búsqueda de la renta financiera que
tienden a ignorar todo contexto y los efectos sobre la
dignidad humana y el medio ambiente. Así se manifiesta
que la degradación ambiental y la degradación humana y
ética están íntimamente unidas. Muchos dirán que no
tienen conciencia de realizar acciones inmorales, porque
la distracción constante nos quita la valentía de advertir la
realidad de un mundo limitado y finito. Por eso, hoy
«cualquier cosa que sea frágil, como el medio ambiente,
queda indefensa ante los intereses del mercado
divinizado, convertidos en regla absoluta»

Thank You For Your Support!
Aging religious need your help. In the
United States today, there are more
than 33,000 senior Catholic sisters,
brothers, and religious order priests.
These religious worked tirelessly in
Catholic schools, hospitals, and agencies, usually for little to no pay. As a
result, many religious communities lack adequate savings for
retirement and eldercare. Your gift to today’s collection for the
Retirement Fund for Religious helps provide medications,
nursing care, and more.
Please be generous.
