The First Sunday of Advent
November 29, 2015
All Souls Catholic Church 2
November 29, 2015
The First Sunday of Advent
"But when these signs begin to happen, stand erect and raise your
heads because your redemption is at hand." Jesus instructs his disciples to
take this posture of confidence in the midst of a terribly disturbing
situation. Describing his second coming, Jesus says that on seeing this event
unfold, "People will die of fright." And yet the disciples are supposed to be
pillars of strength. While others cower in fear, the Lord's followers are
somehow immune, with heads raised high. Why?
Well, presumably, because those who follow Christ--those who
earn the distinction of being disciples--have nothing to fear. On the
contrary, when they have to "stand before the Son of Man," it will be a
happy occasion. But here's the catch: "disciple" is more than an empty title.
If we want to be counted among this confident crew, there are a few things
for us to do. Today's Gospel spells out these tasks, which are all perfect
things to pursue during Advent.
First, we have to make sure that our "hearts do not become
drowsy." We are called to stay awake in a spiritual sense, not allowing
"carousing, drunkenness and the anxieties of daily life" to numb us. We
need to avoid whatever might reduce our ability to recognize and relate to
Jesus, because we don't want his appearance to catch us "by surprise like a
trap." Advent is an ideal time to examine our lives to determine what
activities, priorities, or pastimes might be putting our hearts to sleep.
Secondly, we need to pray. We need to ask Jesus himself for "the strength
to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of
Man." We can't do it alone. But with Christ's help, we can be true, fearless
disciples.

1er Domingo de Adviento
Hemos llegado al tiempo de Adviento y éste nos prepara para practicar el
ejercicio de abrir los sentidos a la realidad que nos rodea. Es un tiempo para
preguntarnos: ¿Qué realidad estamos viviendo? ¿Dónde debemos de
encarnar al Hijo de Dios en esta Navidad que se acerca? Tomar nota de lo
que se vive a nivel mundial, local y familiar es esencial para nuestra
preparación. Observar, juzgar y actuar para descubrir qué cosas positivas
del Reino hay que implementar en nuestra vida. Esto, por supuesto, choca
con las realidades comerciales de la Navidad, sus preparativos muchas
veces no son los que Dios tiene en su plan de salvación. "Pongan atención y
levanten la cabeza". Es prepararse en sentido positivo, no gastar tanta
energía en el consumismo sino estar prevenidos en las cosas que nos
acercan a Dios.
Comenzamos un nuevo año litúrgico, las próximas cuatro semanas están
llenas de expectación. ¿Pero qué es lo que se espera? ¿A quién se espera?
Para muchas personas quizá son las fiestas, las vacaciones, ver a la familia o
esperar un regalo muy especial. Todas esas cosas son buenas no nos
confundamos. Pero debemos de prepararnos para algo muy especial y se
inicia en este Primer Domingo de Adviento. El nacimiento del Salvador del
mundo. Detente, observa, calla, medita y centra tu vida en Jesús. San Pablo
nos ayuda a entender este tiempo tan especial con la siguiente frase. "Que
el Señor los llene y
los haga rebosar de
un amor mutuo y
hacia
todos
los
demás" (1 Tes 3, 12).
¿Sería mucho pedir
crecer en el amor en
esta primera semana
de Adviento?

Make All Souls Your Parish Home...
Often people attend Mass at All Souls for several years,
but never register. Registering here is a declaration of
your desire to be part of a Catholic community and to
make a commitment to the life of All Souls Church. Being a registered
parishioner makes the process much easier when it is time for infant
baptism, school or religious education registration, weddings, when asked
to be a baptismal or confirmation sponsor, and even funerals. A registered
parishioner receives all parish mailings, too.
Church law advises that territories or boundaries no longer limit parish
registration. All Souls accepts anyone who wants to share in the life of the
parish regardless of where they live. In order to register, you need to
complete a which registration card. These may be found narthex of the
church or chapel, the parish office during the week or online at our parish
website: www.allsoulssanford.org. Why not sign up today? We love our
new parishioners!

the recompense of their labors. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Attention High School Students!
Happy Thanksgiving from your friends at St. Vincent de Paul!
How you help us help others: A single mother says without

her children a proper Thanksgiving meal; instead they
probably would just have cereal and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.
This is how you help us make a difference!
Food Pantry Needs of the Week: Canned chicken, chicken noodle soup,
hearty soups and pasta sauce. We’re really empty at the Pantry and need
your help! Last Week: 81 items were donated with a retail value of $217.
