Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe
Año Jubilar
de la Misericordia
Cuarto Domingo de Adviento
Al proclamar el Año Jubilar de la
Misericordia, el Papa Francisco exclamó cómo él deseaba que este
Año Santo esté “lleno de misericordia”, nosotros como discípulos vamos “al encuentro de cada persona
llevando la bondad y la ternura de Dios. A todos, creyentes
y lejanos, pueda llegar el bálsamo de la misericordia como
signo del Reino de Dios que está ya presente en medio de
nosotros” (Misericordiae Vultus, 5). Al visitar a Isabel, María presenta bellamente una imagen así. A pesar de los
riesgos de su embarazo, sin mencionar su preocupación
por ser una mujer joven sin casarse todavía, María de inmediato, sin egoísmo “sale” de sí misma y a toda prisa
avanza sobre terreno peligroso para llevar “el bálsamo de
la misericordia” de Dios para ayudar a su pariente.
Ya que el Bautismo y la Eucaristía nos han hecho, de
alguna manera, portadores de un Cristo Vivo dentro de
nosotros, así como María fue, esa generosidad de “salir”
de nosotros mismos para ofrecer un servicio atento de
misericordia a nuestros prójimos, debe marcar especialmente nuestro Tiempo de Navidad este Año Jubilar.

With the opportunity for individual confession

St. Pius V, 7691 Orangethorpe, Buena Park
There will be no Advent Reconciliation Service at

Religious Give Thanks
“We cannot begin to repay all who contribute,” writes a
Catholic sister. “So we pray to God, who is never outdone
in generosity, to reward you.” Heartfelt thanks for your
donation to last week’s collection for the Retirement Fund
for Religious. May God bless you for your goodness!
Reflections from the
Gloria Dei Choir
For the Fourth Sunday of
Advent, the Gloria Dei Choir
sings “Gabriel’s Message,”a Basque folk carol (Basque:
Birjina gaztetto bat zegoen) about the Annunciation to the
Virgin Mary by the Archangel Gabriel that she would become the mother of Jesus Christ. The carol was collected
by Charles Bordes and then paraphrased into English by
Sabine Baring-Gould. Our arrangement for SATB voices
and organ is by Rod Mather. The carol text quotes the
biblical account of the Annunciation (Luke 1:26-38) and
the canticle Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55) with its opening
lines:
The angel Gabriel from heaven came,
his wings as drifted snow, his eyes as flame;
"All hail", said he, "thou lowly maiden Mary,
most highly favoured lady." Gloria.
During Communion, the choir sings Sergei Rachmaninoff’s setting of the Ave Maria from his All-Night Vigil
(Russian: Всенощное бдение) his Op. 37, written and
premiered in 1915. The Ave Maria is the sixth movement
of fifteen works that comprise the musical liturgy of the
Russian Orthodox All-night vigil ceremony. It has been
praised as Rachmaninoff’s finest choral composition and
“the greatest musical achievement of the Russian Orthodox Church.” As required by the Russian Orthodox
Church, Rachmaninoff based ten of the fifteen sections
on chant. However, the five original sections (which include the Ave Maria) were so heavily influenced by chant
that the composer called them “conscious counterfeits” of
existing chants. The choir will sing the Ave Maria text in
English translation under the guest direction of Neda
Kandimirova St. Clair, a native of Bulgaria and Eastern
Orthodox Christian with extensive experience conducting
and singing the Orthodox choral repertoire.
—Kevin St. Clair, Interim Director
Gloria Dei Choir

Jubilee Year of Mercy
Fourth Sunday of Advent
In proclaiming the Jubilee Year
of Mercy, Pope Francis proclaimed
his desire that this Holy Year be
“steeped in mercy,” as we disciples
“go out to every man and woman,”
bringing the “balm of mercy” to
“believers and those far away, as a
sign that the Kingdom of God is already present in our
midst!” (Misericordiae Vultus, 5). In her visitation of Elizabeth, Mary beautifully presents just such an image. Despite the perils of her pregnancy, not to mention her preoccupations as a young unwed mother, Mary instantly,
unselfishly, “goes out” of herself, hastening far and over
dangerous terrain, to “bring the balm of God’s tender
mercy” in assistance rendered to her older relative.
Since baptism and the Eucharist have made us, in a
way, bearers of the living Christ within as Mary was, such
selfless “going out” of ourselves to be of loving service to
others in mercy should especially mark our Christmas
season this Jubilee Year.

The Catholic Experience: a small group exploration of the beliefs and practices of the Catholic Church
through the lens of human experience. For:
• Anyone thinking about becoming a Catholic or just
interested in the Catholic approach to life.
• Catholic adults (21 or over) seeking to complete their
initiation (Confirmation and Eucharist).
• Catholics who have been away from the Church for
several years wishing to connect with others seeking
a spiritually mature approach to Catholicism.
• Catholics who have not had the opportunity to enrich
their understanding of the faith since their Confirmation.
• Anyone who might be interested in being a part of the
RCIA team as a sponsor.
January 17 to February 28
12:30—2:00 p.m. Sundays after the 11:15 a.m. Mass.
