Second Sunday of Advent
PUT ON JOY
Today, Baruch speaks of the splendor that lies ahead for the city of Jerusalem and for all of us, regardless of where
home is for us. Throw off strife, he tells us, and put on joy. Like a favorite old sweatshirt, joy fits, and how warm it
keeps us, even when the winds blow cold.
Paul knows of this joy as he pens his letter to the Philippians, praying that they may grow in their ability to discern
what is righteous and good. And Luke speaks to us of John, who was foretold by Isaiah and who sings a similar song—
“Prepare the way of the Lord,” for salvation is at hand.
A man ahead of his time, Baruch spent his days joyfully awaiting a distant glory. On this Second Sunday of Advent,
Paul and John know that this glory is upon us. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
VÍSTETE DE GOZO
Hoy Baruc nos habla del esplendor que se acerca para la ciudad de Jerusalén y para todos nosotros, sea donde
fuere nuestro hogar. Despójate de conflictos, nos dice, y vístete de gozo. Como una vieja cobija favorita, el gozo nos
queda a la medida, y qué bien nos mantiene calientes, por muy frío que sople el viento.
Pablo sabe de ese gozo cuando escribe su carta a los filipenses, orando para que crezcan en su habilidad de discernir lo que es bueno y justo. Y Lucas nos habla de Juan, el que fue anunciado por Isaías y que canta una canción parecida: “Preparen el camino del Señor” pues la salvación está al llegar.
Hombre adelantado a su época, Baruc se pasó la vida alegremente esperando una gloria lejana. En este segundo
Domingo de Adviento, Pablo y Juan saben que esta gloria se acerca. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Gospel Reading for 2nd Sunday of Advent- Luke 3: 1-6
Gospel Reflection: The story of John the Baptist walking throughout the whole region of Jordan proclaiming a baptism of repentance provides a wonderful opportunity for families to reflect back on the
day of their own baptisms. Why was this a day of celebration and hope? What spiritual goals does the
family have during this Advent season and does it include taking time to “repent” for the times we fall
short in our relationship with each other and God? John the Baptist challenges all to “prepare the way of
the Lord, make straight his paths.” Will this call move your family to a second “cleansing” through the
celebration of the sacrament of Reconciliation during the Advent season?
Eucharistic Adoration: Grades 3 & 4 are invited during this month to spend some time with
Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament Chapel in adoration on Friday afternoons from 4PM-7PM
for 10-15 minutes. Please sign the R.E. Chapel Guest Book.
THE CHILDREN’S BIBLES HAVE ARRIVED! Many families have requested that the
R.E. office make available for sale more Children’s Bibles. We now have
new inventory but supplies will NOT last. Cost is $30 payable by check/
cash. Stop by our office to pick up your copy before they are all gone.
Home Study Families! If you haven’t been by the R.E. office to pick up the Catholic
Family Missal for your weekly Gospel readings/study with your child, please come by
and pick up your book. In addition, any family who still has not picked up textbook
materials will be dropped from the home study program on December 9th.
A huge message of thanks to all our R.E. families and parishioners who contributed items
to the Refugee Resettlement Collection during the month of November. The items collected
will go a long way in helping families start new lives in the United States. Your support
reinforces the principals of our Catholic Social Teaching heritage. Thank you for teaching
your children the importance of valuing human dignity and supporting life in various ways.
Blessings
We are blessed. We have 2 young men from St. Clare in the seminary and one gentleman,
Antonio Arana in training as a Deacon. Please keep our own seminarians, Jonathan Nestico and
Richard Lee and Antonio Arana and his wife in your prayers.
Nos sentimos bendecidos. Tenemos 2 jóvenes de St Clare en el seminario y un caballero,
Antonio Arana en el entrenamiento como diácono. Por favor mantengan nuestros seminaristas,

DID YOU KNOW
Christmas is a time for families, and extended aunts, uncles, and cousins gather to celebrate the season together Your children
should be comfortable around their family members, but they should also know the limits of their comfort zones, a what to do
if someone crosses a line—too many hugs and kisses , or inappropriate tickling. Your children should be comfortable saying
“NO” whenever things cross their lines, and they should know that you’ll back them up. For a copy of the VIRTUS article
“Know the Warning Signs: Just Where is the Boundary Line” - email [email protected].
¿SABE USTED?
La Navidad es un tiempo para las familias, y las tias, tios y primos se reunen para celebrar la temporada juntos. Sus hijos deben sentirse comodos alrededor de sus familiares, pero tambien deben saber los limites de las zonas de comodidad y que hacer
Si alguien cruza la linea: muchos abrazos y besos, o caricias inapropiadas. Sus hijos deben sentirse comodos de decir “NO”
cuando las situaciones crucen la lineas, y deben saber que usted los respalda. Para una copia del articulo de VIRTUS “Know

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En 1726, Juan de la Cruz (1542-1591) fue canonizado por el Papa Benito XIII. Nació en la región de Castilla en
España, este doctor de la Iglesia junto con Teresa de Ávila fue reformador de la Orden Carmelita. Muchas órdenes
religiosas del siglo XV sufrieron grandes decadencias. Por eso mientras los Protestantes se separaban de la Iglesia, los
religiosos descalzos, recoletos y observantes buscaban reformar órdenes religiosas, como la Orden de la Bienaventurada
Virgen María del Monte Carmelo, uniéndose siempre más a la Iglesia Romana.
Para los reformadores católicos quedarse en la Iglesia no fue fácil, ¡sin embargo se quedaron! Aunque sus reformas
fueron apoyadas por los Papas, muchos de ellos como Juan de la Cruz tuvieron que aguantar muchas oposiciones y persecuciones para lograr sus reformas. Estas reformas ardían con el deseo de amar bien a Cristo Jesús y a su cuerpo que es
la Iglesia.
En sus poesías, Juan de la Cruz muestra la fuerza de esta llama de amor vivo a pesar de la oscuridad de la noche que
no lo deja encontrar al amante (Dios).
