November 29, 2015
Dear Friends,
“My Daddy! My Daddy!” the little boy sang out as he spotted his father progressing up the long airport corridor, returning after a long trip. For
some time the little boy had pranced around anxiously waiting and watching. His eyes, his face, his whole body strained forward scanning the
faces of other passengers to find his father, moving back and forth trying to see around the emerging throng of passengers. Then, sighting his
dad, he lit up with recognition, joyfully exclaiming for all to hear, “My Daddy! My Daddy!”
This Sunday is the first Sunday of Advent, and the experience of this little boy provides an apt study of what it means to await Christ’
coming. Waiting is not a passive exercise of the marginally interested, instead it should be active anticipation. All our faculties should be
attuned to the fact that someone important is about to appear. There should be a concentration of our attention and a readiness to respond in
enthusiastic greeting.
This week’s Gospel reading provides an appropriate transition from the end of one liturgical year to the beginning of a new liturgical year,
for it alerts us to Jesus’ second advent, when he will return from heaven to claim his own. We are encouraged to “look up,” “raise your heads,”
“take heed,” “watch,” and pray for his coming is real and redemptive, as real and redemptive as was his first coming. And these actions we are
encouraged to follow are the actions of active waiting.
With the Second Advent in mind we are stimulated to celebrate his first Advent with similar active waiting, anticipating a fresh appearing
of Jesus’ presence in our lives. Will we be like the little boy mentioned above focusing and concentrating our attention on seeing him? Or will
we have our attention diverted by the glitz and secular trappings of a Christmas that ignores that he ever existed, or could ever again reappear
to us? Perhaps this is the week when we should determine a plan for peering around the emerging onslaught of secular traditions and purely
mercenary celebrations, to actively watch for Jesus. If we take time now to sort out what we are going to do to actively watch for him in the
face of this onslaught, and then follow through on our intention, we too will burst forth with exclamations of joy.
“‘For while all things were in quiet silence and the night was in the midst of her course, thy almighty word leapt down from heaven from
thy royal throne… ’ The passage, brimming with the mystery of the Incarnation, is wonderfully expressive of the infinite stillness that hovered
over Christ’s birth. For the greatest things are accomplished in silence— not in the clamor and display of superficial eventfulness, but in the
deep clarity of inner vision; in the almost imperceptible start of decision, in quiet overcoming and hidden sacrifice. Spiritual conception
happens when the heart is quickened by love, and the free will stirs to action,” (from The Lord, by Romano Guardini.)
Let us pray as we dwell in this time period between Jesus’ first and second appearing that there might be a third appearing, the reappearing
of Jesus in our hearts and lives. When the little boy’s dad appeared he scooped up his son in his arms in mutual love and spent a lifetime
mentoring his son to growth and maturity. So may it be with the reappearing Christ in our lives that our hearts would be quickened by love and
our free will stirred into action.
May Mary our Mother watch over you and protect you always! Your brother in Christ, Fr. John
Queridos amigos,
"Mi papá! Mi papá!" el niño gritó cuando vio a su padre avanzar por el largo pasillo del aeropuerto, volviendo después de un largo viaje.
Durante un rato el niño se movía alrededor ansiosamente esperando y observando. Sus ojos, su cara, todo su cuerpo tensado hacia adelante,
buscando entre las caras de otros pasajeros para encontrar la de su padre, moviéndose hacia atrás y hacia adelante tratando de ver alrededor de
la multitud los pasajeros que salían. Entonces, mira a su papá, lo reconoce inmediatamente, y exclama con alegría para que todos puedan
escuchar, "Mi papá! Mi papá!"
Este domingo es el primer domingo de Adviento, y la experiencia de este niño proporciona un oportuno estudio de lo que significa
esperar a Cristo' que viene. Esperar no es un ejercicio pasivo ligeramente interesante, en lugar es una anticipación activa. Todas nuestras
facultades deben estar en sintonía al hecho de que alguien importante está a punto de aparecer. Debe haber una concentración de nuestra
atención y una preparación para responder en saludo entusiasta.
Esta semana la lectura del Evangelio ofrece una transición adecuada desde el final de un año litúrgico hasta el comienzo de un nuevo año
litúrgico, porque nos avisa de la segunda venida de Jesús, cuando él regresará del cielo para reclamar a los suyos. Se nos anima a "mirar hacia
arriba," "levantar la cabeza", "buscar," "ver" y orar por su venida que es real y redentora, como verdadera y redentora fue su primera venida. Y
estas acciones que nos animamos a seguir son las acciones de espera activa.
Con la segunda venida en mente estamos estimulados para celebrar su primera venida con similar espera activa, anticipando una
apariencia fresca de Jesús en nuestras vidas. ¿Seremos como el niño mencionado antes focalizando y concentrando nuestra atención en verlo?
¿O vamos a tener nuestra atención desviada por la ostentación y trampas seculares de una Navidad que ignora que jamás haya existido, ni nuca
podría reaparecer entre nosotros? Tal vez esta es la semana cuando debemos determinar un plan mirando alrededor de la emergente embestida
de tradiciones seculares y celebraciones puramente mercenarias, para vigilar de forma activa por Jesús. Si tomamos tiempo para arreglar lo que
vamos a hacer para ver de forma activa para él en la cara de esta embestida, y luego seguimos adelante con nuestra intención, entonces
nosotros también estallaremos con exclamaciones de alegría.
‘“Porque mientras todas las cosas estaban en absoluto silencio y la noche estaba en medio de su curso, tu palabra omnipotente saltó
desde el cielo de tu trono real ...’ El pasaje, lleno con el misterio de la Encarnación, es maravillosamente expresivo de la quietud infinita que
se cernía sobre el nacimiento de Cristo. Las grandes cosas se logran en silencio- no en el clamor y la visualización de acontecimientos
superficiales, sino en la profunda claridad de visión interior; en el comienzo casi imperceptible de la decisión, en la superación tranquila y el
sacrificio escondido. La concepción espiritual ocurre cuando el corazón se acelera por el amor, y la libre voluntad se mueve a la acción” (de El
Señor, por Romano Guardini.)
Oremos para los que habitamos en este período de tiempo entre la primera y segunda aparición de Jesús, que podría existir una
tercera aparición, la reaparición de Jesús en nuestros corazones y vidas. Cuando el padre del niño apareció, él tomo a su hijo en sus brazos en
amor mutuo y pasó toda una vida de tutoría a su hijo hacia el crecimiento y la madurez. Que así sea con la reaparición de Cristo en nuestras
vidas, que nuestros corazones se aceleren por el amor y nuestro libre albedrio se mueva ponga en acción.
Que María nuestra madre vea sobre ustedes y los proteja siempre! Su hermano en Cristo, Padre John

RELIGIOUS ED NEWS:
The 7th Grade Religious Ed class is preparing for the Year of Mercy
that begins on December 8th. In preparation for the Year of Mercy
Ms. Torok and Ms. Janus' 7th grade class read about Sister Rosemary
Nyirumbe. Time Magazine named Sister Rosemary one of the 100
Most Influential People in the World in 2014. She was honored for her
healing work with young child mothers. Her community, the Sisters of
the Sacred Heart of Jesus run a school in Uganda. The 7th grade class
is collecting pop tabs from cans of soda. "People think pop tabs are
trash and they throw them away," says Sister Rosemary. "I tell them
'Please, throw them away with love. Send them to me." The young
women in the school use the pop tabs to make purses. The money
earned from one handbag can provide a woman and her child with a
mattress, three daily meals, and water for six month. The 7th grade
class is asking for your help. Please send us your pop tabs. One man’s
trash is another man’s treasure. You can drop the tabs off at the
Church Office or put them in an envelope labeled "7th Grade Class"
and drop them in the collection basket. This is a great way to perform
some of the corporal works of mercy without even leaving home.

“…..Mucho se espera….”Lucas 12:48
UN MINISTERIO AL ALCANCE DE LA FAMILIA
Por favor únase a nosotros el sábado, 5 de deciembre, en la
preparación de sándwiches y galletas para las personas sin hogar en
Columbia. Esto es un esfuerzo maravilloso para familias
y/o personas que estén interesados en ayudar a los menos
afortunados en nuestra área. Nos reuniremos en el hall y la cocina
del edificio parroquial de las 2 pm - 4 pm y ahí trabajaremos juntos
para preparar los alimentos. Se necesita traer pan de caja,
ingredientes para el sándwich y bolsas de sándwich. Únete a
nosotros en la alimentación de personas con hambre en nuestra
comunidad! Si usted prefiere donar alimentos preparados, estos
pueden ser vasitos de fruta en almíbar o puré de manzana(con o
sin azúcar) ya que siempre son necesarios. ¡Esperamos contar con
ustedes, todos son bienvenidos, pero se requiere la presencia de un
padre o tutor para los niños que deseen participar.
En caso de preguntas, favor de contactar
a Nadine Robinson 960-3540 o Katie Herbst 318-4679
Los esperamos este 5 de deciembre!!! Con la ayuda de varias
personas el trabajo sera menos pesado.
Please remember in prayer – Kathy Lopiccolo

Mass Intentions –With two priests at OLOH celebrating the English
Masses, we will continue to have one announced intention for each
scheduled Mass. If one of the priests concelebrates he is able to offer
Mass for another intention. Since the announced, scheduled
intentions extend into 2016, if you would like a Mass offered sooner
that would be unannounced, unpublished and celebrated at no
particular date, for example for a deceased loved one whose family
lives out of state or for healing for someone who is ill, please call the
office.
