Third Sunday
Of Advent
St. Joseph Church,
7240 W. 57th St.,
Summit, Illinois, 60501-1324
Fr. Bob’s Briefs
Have you ever not seen a family member or friend for a while and had wait to see them again? What did you
feel? We feel longing and desire to see the people we love. As the days come closer to seeing them again,
what do we feel? We feel great anticipation. As we wait for them once again at the airport, train station, or at
home, what do we feel as we are waiting to see them very soon? We feel great joy and gladness growing in our
hearts.
This feeling of gladness and joy is the feeling that we celebrate today. Today, celebrate the third Sunday of
Advent, which is called “Gaudete Sunday.” Gaudete comes from the Latin verb gaudere, which means “to
rejoice or to be glad.” The third Sunday of Advent gets its name from the entrance antiphon of the Mass:
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice. Indeed, the Lord is near,” which comes from St. Paul’s Letter
to the
Philippians (4:4-5).
On Gaudete
Sunday, the season of
Advent shifts is focus.
Whereas the first two weeks
of Advent we heard the
message that “the Lord is
coming,” beginning on
Gaudete Sunday, we hear the
message that “the Lord is
near.” Thus, we are filled
with rejoicing at the nearness
of Christ. This sift is
reflected in the lighting of
different colored candle on
our Advent wreath. A lighter
color (rose) is used on
Gaudete Sunday, and we
light the rose candle because
it represents the joy that we
feel our rejoicing that the
goal of the Advent season is
getting closer: the coming of
Christ is near! This shift in
the second half of Advent
also emphasizes a lighter
tone and a feeling of joyous anticipation. Just as we begin to feel more anxious and joyous at the coming a family member or
friend, whom we have not seen in a while, so, too, we begin to feel more joyous and glad anticipation at the near coming of Jesus.
On this Gaudete Sunday, we hear, once again, from St. John the Baptist, who is telling the crowds by the Jordan to change
their lives because the Lord is near. We hear how the hearts of the people were filled with great expectation. The beautiful image
that you see is a fresco painted by the Florentine artist, Domenico Ghirlandaio, Preaching of St. John the Baptist (1490). The artist
wonderfully illustrates the words that we heard in today’s gospel. John the Baptist stands in the middle, and all the people gathered
around him are looking at John and listening to him. No one is paying any attention to the figure standing behind John the Baptist,
in the upper left corner of the scene. This figure is Christ. How Ghirlandaio
arranges this scene is fantastic! Although standing behind and to the side of
John, Jesus is almost the same size as John, which illustrates Christ’s
preeminence to John and His nearness, proximity. Christ is greater than the
Baptist and Christ is very close! Ghirlandaio superbly paints Christ into the
scene to illustrate how near Christ truly is, yet no one is aware of Christ! We
don’t want to be like the people in this crowd. We don’t want to be unaware
of the nearness of Christ to our lives. This is why we need the season of
Advent. We, too, want our hearts to be filled with great expectation at the
nearness of Jesus’ coming.
This Tuesday, December 15, we will have our Advent Reconciliation Service.
Confessions will be available in English and Spanish on December 15. You
are invited to celebrate this sacrament as we prepare for the near coming of
Jesus. Pray for peace around the world. May our Blessed Mother Mary,
Undoer of Knots, help us with her maternal care and St. Joseph pray for us.
Vivat Jesus! Live Jesus!

ST. JOSEPH SCHOOL COUNCIL
“ESSENTIALS” DRIVE
In the spirit of teaching our children to give to those who are
less fortunate than they, we are hosting an “Essentials” drive for adults
with disabilities. We are asking each of our school children to bring in a
toiletry item for either men or women. These can include items such as
deodorant, mouthwash, toothbrush and toothpaste, shower gel, shampoo,
brushes and combs. Items need to be new and still in packaging or with
tags.
These items will be assembled into Christmas Stockings by
our Student Council and will be delivered to St. Coletta’s of Illinois
which provides support in the areas of: residential programs, educational
programs, medical care and vocational services to children and adults
with developmental disabilities (www.stcolettail.org). We are working
with the Residential Services Program which is designed to provide quality housing and independent living services to people with disabilities to
promote maximum community integration. The focus of the program is
on participating in community activities, patronizing local businesses,
and learning to understand the value of being part of the community.
The adult residents at St. Coletta’s are many times wards of
the state and many do not have family to help with their basic needs like
food, most of the rest of their needs are met through donations. For
many, their only chance at receiving any gifts for Christmas is through
the generosity of people who recognize the need and are willing to donate
a gift.
Although the residents of St. Coletta’s are adults, there are a
number of them who the developmental age of a child. Please return
your items no later than tomorrow, Monday, Dec. 14, to St. Joseph
School so that we can get them delivered in time for Christmas.
THANK YOU!

Informes Padre Bob
¿Alguna vez no has visto a un miembro de la familia o amigo por un tiempo y tuviste que esperar a verlos de
nuevo? ¿Qué sentiste? Sentimos el anhelo y el deseo de ver a las personas que amamos. A medida que los días
se acercan a verlos de nuevo, ¿qué es lo que sentimos? Sentimos gran anticipación. Mientras los esperamos de
nuevo en el aeropuerto, estación de tren, o en casa, ¿qué sentimos cuando los estamos esperando ver muy pronto? Sentimos gran gozo y alegría que crece en nuestros corazones.
Este sentimiento de gozo y alegría es el sentimiento que celebramos hoy. Hoy, celebramos el tercer domingo
de Adviento, que es llamado "domingo de Gaudete". Gaudete viene del verbo gaudere en latin que significa
"alegrarse o estar contento." El tercer domingo de Adviento recibe su nombre de la antífona de entrada de la
misa: "Regocijaos en el Señor siempre; Otra vez digo alegrarse. En efecto, el Señor está cerca", que viene de la
carta de San Pablo a los Filipenses (4: 4-5).
El Domingo de Gaudete, la temporada de Adviento cambia el enfoque. En tanto que las dos primeras semanas
de Adviento hemos escuchado el mensaje de que "el Señor viene", a partir del domingo Gaudete, escuchamos el mensaje de que "el
Señor está cerca." Por lo tanto, estamos llenos de regocijo por la cercanía de Cristo. Este tamiz se refleja en la iluminación de diferentes velas de color en
nuestra corona de Adviento.
Un color más claro (rosa) se
utiliza en el domingo de
Gaudete, y encendemos la
vela color de rosa, ya que
representa la alegría que
sentimos, nuestro regocijo,
el objetivo de la temporada
de Adviento está cada vez
más cerca: ¡la venida de
Cristo está cerca! Este cambio en la segunda mitad del
Adviento también hace hincapié en un tono más ligero
y una sensación de anticipación gozosa. Del mismo
modo que empezamos a
sentir más ansiosos y felices
en la venida de un miembro
o amigo de la familia, a
quien no hemos visto en
mucho tiempo, por lo que,
también, empezamos a sentirnos más alegres y contentos la anticipación en la próxima venida de Jesús.
En este domingo de Gaudete, escuchamos, una vez más, de San Juan el Bautista, quién está junto al Jordán diciendo a la
multitud, que cambien sus vidas, porque el Señor está cerca. Oímos cómo se llenaron los corazones de las personas con gran expectativa. La bella imagen que ve es un fresco pintado por el artista florentino Domenico Ghirlandaio, la predicción de Juan Bautista
(1490). El artista ilustra maravillosamente las palabras que escuchamos en el
evangelio de hoy. Juan Bautista se encuentra en medio, y todo el pueblo se
reúne en torno a él mirándolo y escuchándolo. Nadie está prestando atención a
la figura detrás de Juan el Bautista, en la esquina superior izquierda de la escena. Esta figura es Cristo. ¡Cómo Ghirlandaio organiza esta escena es fantástica! Aunque detrás y al lado de Juan, Jesús está casi del mismo tamaño que
Juan, que ilustra la preeminencia de Cristo a Juan y su cercanía, la proximidad. ¡Cristo es más grande que el Bautista y Cristo está muy cerca! Ghirlandaio pinta estupendamente a Cristo en la escena para ilustrar que tan cerca
verdaderamente Cristo esta, ¡sin embargo, nadie está consciente de Cristo! No
queremos ser como la gente en esta multitud. No queremos ser inconscientes
de la cercanía de Cristo en nuestras vidas. Es por eso que necesitamos el tiempo de Adviento. Nosotros también queremos que nuestros corazones se llenen
de una gran expectación en la cercanía de la venida de Jesús.
Este martes, 15 de diciembre tendremos nuestro Servicio de Reconciliación de
Adviento. Habrá confesiones en inglés y español. Está invitado a celebrar este
sacramento, mientras nos preparamos para la próxima venida de Jesús. Oren
por la paz en todo el mundo. Que nuestra Santísima Madre María, Desatadora
de nudos, nos ayude con su cuidado maternal y San José ruegue por nosotros.

Z biurka Ks. Proboszcza
Co czujemy, czekając na przyjaciela lub krewnego po dłuższej rozłące? Czujemy tęsknotę. Im zaś
bliżej do dnia ponownego spotkania, tym większą niecierpliwość odczuwamy. Czekamy na bliskich na
lotnisku, dworcu lub w domu i wiemy, że już za parę chwil padniemy sobie w ramiona – wówczas
rośnie w naszych sercach wzruszenie i radość.
Celebrując przypadającą dzisiaj, III Niedzielę Adwentu (zwaną „Niedzielą Gaudente”),
czujemy właśnie wielką radość. Słowo Gaudente pochodzi od łacińskiego czasownika oznaczającego:
„Radować się”. Ma to związek z Listem św. Pawła do Filipian (4:4-5): „Radujcie się zawsze w Panu;
jeszcze
raz
powtarzam: radujcie się!
Niech będzie znana
wszystkim ludziom wasza
wyrozumiała łagodność:
Pan jest blisko!”
Przez dwa
pierwsze tygodnie Adwentu
mówiono nam, iż „Pan
nadchodzi”. Od dzisiaj zaś,
będziemy słyszeć, że „Pan
jest blisko”. Przepełnia nas
radość z powodu bliskości
Jezusa. Tę zmianę nastroju
odzwierciedlają
różnokolorowe świece,
palące się na wieńcu
adwentowym. W dzisiejszą
Niedzielę Gaudente płonie
różowa świeca, wyrażająca
radość. Radujemy się
bowiem z tego, że to już
półmetek Adwentu, a Pan
jest blisko! Podobnie jak
cieszymy, widząc przyjaciela po dłuższej rozłące, tak też cieszymy się teraz – bo Jezus jest blisko.
Dzisiaj po raz kolejny słuchamy św. Jana Chrzciciela, który stojąc nad Jordanem nawołuje ludzi do nawrócenia.
Serca tłumów wypełnia wielka radość. Na załączonym obrazie widzicie piękny fresk z 1490 roku – „Kazanie Jana
Chrzciciela”, autorstwa florenckiego artysty Domenico Ghirlandaio. Owe dzieło wspaniale ilustruje słowa z dzisiejszej
Ewangelii. W centrum fresku stoi Jan Chrzciciel, a wkoło niego zasłuchany w jego słowa tłum. Nikt nie zwraca uwagi na
postać stojącą za św. Janem, w lewym górnym rogu – jest nią Chrystus. Przyjrzyjcie się, jak artysta zaaranżował tę scenę.
Jan Chrzciciel i Jezus są tego samego wzrostu, chociaż Jezus stoi za plecami Jana i po jego lewej stronie. Pokazuje to
bliskość Pana. Chrystus jest większy od św. Jana, i jest blisko!
Ghirlandaio wyśmienicie pokazał na swoim fresku, jak bardzo blisko
ludzi jest Syn Boży, a mimo to nikt Go nie zauważa! Nie chcemy być
jak ten tłum. Pragniemy być świadomi bliskości Jezusa w naszym
życiu. Właśnie dlatego potrzebny nam jest Adwent. Pragniemy napełnić
serca radosnym oczekiwaniem, spowodowanym bliskością Chrystusa.
W najbliższy wtorek, 15 grudnia, wszyscy chętni mogą
przystąpić do Spowiedzi Świętej. Spowiedzi będzie można odbyć po
angielsku lub hiszpańsku. Spowiedź jest ważnym krokiem w naszych
przygotowaniach do spotkania z będącym już blisko Chrystusem.
(w języku polskim)
Módlmy się w intencji pokoju na świecie. Święta Maryjo Rozwiązująca
Węzły, miej nas zawsze w Swej opiece. Święty Józefie, módl się za
nami.
