From the Pastor
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
We have already arrived at the third Sunday of Advent, a Sunday to rejoice that the Lord is near. You
will see the priest dressed in rose vestments today
that signify the joy and love we are experiencing in
our heart at the thought that the Lord will soon
brighten our days with His radiant presence at
Christmas. I hope your Advent has been gracefilled and prayerful. Let us continue on with our
waiting for a little while longer and prepare our
hearts to meet Him on Christmas day.
Having finished the Novena to our Lady of Guadalupe and her wonderful Feast Day celebrations we
are now ready for another Novena to prepare us for
one of the most important Feasts of the Church
year, that of Christmas. This second Novena which
begins this coming Thursday is referred to as Las
Posadas, which means a temporary dwelling place.
As you know Mary and Joseph having gone to
Bethlehem are searching for a place to stay because
the baby is about to be born. However, as they
search for a place to stay they are turned away until
they finally come to an outdoor stable where the
animals are kept. And here, of course, is where the
Savior of the World, God Himself, is born for us.
In this humble dwelling God has chosen to begin
His life as a man. The Novena of the “Las Posadas” recalls this search for a dwelling place and
calls forth from us a reflection on our own attitudes
related to those who are looking for a place to stay.
That includes our attitudes towards refugees, immigrants, migrants or homeless people. What do we
do to welcome a stranger, our brother or sister who
is in need of a place to stay? What a great Novena
to get us ready for the humble “advent” of our
might King!! Christmas and God’s entry into the
human scene bids us look at how we treat one another. The Novena of the “las Posadas” will be
celebrated each evening for nine nights. It will start
at 6:30 p.m. each evening with a rosary, Mass, and
December 13, 2015
then be followed by a procession with candles and
singing and finally a party with a piñata and something to eat and drink. The parish groups are in
charge of making sure all is ready each evening.
Thus we have the Lectio Divina Group on December 17th, the Virgen Peregrina on the 18th, the Niñas de la Pequeña Flor on the 19th, the Matachines
and Liturgia on the 20th, the Cursillistas and Jovenes on the 21st, the grupo de matrimonio mundial
on the 22nd, the Caballeros de Colon and the San
Juan Bosco groups on the 23rd, and the Saint
Toribio and praywr group on the 24th. Let’s hope
that everyone does their part in preparing for this
Novena and that everyone else comes and enjoys
themselves!!
This coming Thursday evening is also the Christmas production in the school. It will begin at 7:00
p.m. All the children of the school participate and
it is a wonderful and joy-filled evening for everyone. It is held in the gym and usually there is a reception that follows.
I haven’t received yet the final bill for the construction of the St. Toribio Chapel but as you can
see the work is almost finished and so I am expecting to receive it soon. The building of the altar is a
separate expense. I will let you know how much
we still need to pay once I get the bills. Please help
us if are able so that we do not end up with any
debt. And if you can’t help us financially please
pray to St. Joseph, St. Andre and St. Toribio to
somehow find the funds that we need. We can’t
really sustain a debt. Once we get the chapel paid
for I would like to construct an outside pavilion
from the new chapel all the way to the awning and
make it as wide as the concrete outside of the
chapel. In that way we can have outdoor gettogethers after our Masses.
Maybe that is enough for this week. God’s blessings on you and your loved ones.
Sincerely yours,
Father Timothy Davison
U. S. Catholic Sisters Against
Human Trafficking
For many years now the Church’s commitment to
the defense of human dignity has embraced different issues that attempt to diminish the image of
God in every human person. Among these issues,
human trafficking and labor exploitation are two
of the most serious.
As part of the Church’s commitment, we are
blessed to have groups and associations that work
directly for the prevention and end of human trafficking and labor exploitation. Among those is the
U.S. Catholic Sisters Against Human Trafficking.
The sisters ask that you read these bulletin inserts
in order to raise awareness on this issue.
DECEMBER - Alert. Ending slavery is everyone’s
work. U.S. Catholic Sisters Against Human Trafficking (USCSAHT) is a collaborative, faith-based
network that offers educational resources, information about access to survivor’s services, and
engages in advocacy in an effort to eradicate modern-day slavery. Visit the web site:
sistersagainsttrafficking.org.
CELEBRATE
This Sunday, God rejoices and sings because
of us. We read in Zephaniah today that God “will
sing joyfully because of you, / as one sings at festivals” (Zephaniah 3:18). We know plenty about
singing at festivals. Already our ears are ringing
with the songs and carols that anticipate the
Christmas season.
Paul reminds us of the source of our own double rejoicing: God is the mighty savior who is in
our midst (in Zephaniah’s words). Because this is
so, says Paul, we can rejoice and be at ease. We
don’t have to worry, for God’s peace will stand
guard over our hearts and minds.
A medieval carol depicts Christmas as “my
dancing day” and urges us to enter into the dance.
Why all the merrymaking? Because “the Lord is
near,” as Paul reminds us (Philippians 4:5). He
then points to another reason for the dancing: the
dawn of the promise of peace, the peace beyond
all understanding, that is now within our grasp.

Catholic Charities Updates
Volunteer Needs
Catholic Charities distributes 1,000 + Christmas
Food Baskets every year, and we need help on Saturday, December 19, to give them away. This is a
family-friendly volunteer event where the whole
family can help. You must make a reservation for
one of our three shifts: 7:00 to 9:00 am, 9:00 to
11:00 am, or 11:00 am to close (about 1:30 pm). If
you would like to help, please send an email to
[email protected] or call 918.508.7125. Be
sure to let us know your first choice for a shift, and
then be flexible with a second choice – as some fill
up fast
Retirement fund for Religious
Support our elderly religious.
In the United States today, there are more
than 33,000 senior Catholic sisters, brothers, and
religious order priests. These religious worked
tirelessly in Catholic schools, hospitals, and agencies, usually for little to no pay. As a result, many
religious communities lack adequate savings for
retirement and eldercare. Your gift to today’s collection helps provide medications, nursing care,
and more. Please be generous.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
This week, our celebration of Advent makes a
transition in ritual and texts. Beginning December
18, the countdown of nine days (a novena) to
Christmas sees a heightened sense of expectation,
and also a turning from the call of the Baptist in the
wilderness to the events leading up to Jesus’ birth.
In ancient Spain, December 18 was once celebrated
as the “Feast of the Expectancy,” and customs
grew up to heighten readiness in the homes.
Some customs arise from monastic life and
practice and spill over into our parish life. Beginning tonight, those who pray Vespers will sing in
the opening phrase a beautiful title of Christ. These
titles belong to a collection of opening phrases
called the “O Antiphons” after the awe-inspired
“O” sung on the first note. There’s a playful code
in the titles: O Wisdom, O Lord, O Flower of
Jesse, O Key of David, O Dawn, O Ruler, O Emmanuel. When you take their Latin names—
Sapientia, Adonai, Radix, and so on—the titles
form an acrostic when you read them backwards:
“ERO CRAS.” In Latin, that is translated as “I will
be there tomorrow!” It’s as if Christ were answering the prayers of the waiting people in the words
of the prayers themselves.
—Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
AN ADVENT PRAYER
May the God of peace make us completely holy.
May God keep us blameless in spirit, soul and
body
for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Forever faithful is the One who calls us—God our
Father!
Expectant, let us live in joyful hope
for the revelation of the glory
of our God and Savior, Christ Jesus!
To him be glory forever!
Come, Lord Jesus! Your grace be with us all.

Del Párroco:
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en
Cristo,
Ya hemos llegado al tercer domingo de Adviento,
un domingo para regocijar que el Señor se acerca.
El sacerdote lleve vestimentas de color rosado que
significan la alegría y el amor que estamos experimentando en los corazones al pensar que pronto el
Señor alumbrara nuestros días con Su presencia
radiante en Navidad. Continuamos esperando un
poco tiempo más y preparamos nuestros corazones
para verlo el día de la Navidad.
Terminando la Novena a Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe y las fiestas, ahora estamos listos para otra
Novena para una de las Fiestas más importantes
del año de la Iglesia, la Fiesta de Navidad. Esta
segunda Novena que comienza este jueves, se llama Las Posadas, que significa un hogar temporal.
Como saben, José y María, llegando en Belén buscan un lugar donde quedarse porque se acerca el
nacimiento de su bebe. Pero en su buscada están
rechazados hasta que por fin llegan a un estable al
aire libre donde quedan los animales. Aquí, claro
es donde nace el Salvador del Mundo, Dios mismo. En este lugar humilde Dios comienza Su vida
como un ser humano. La Novena “Las Posadas”
recuenta esta búsqueda para un albergue y pide
una reflexión de nuestra parte sobre nuestras disposiciones relacionado a aquellos que están buscando
un albergue. ?Que hacemos para dar la bienvenida
a los refugiados, los inmigrantes, los migrantes o
los sin hogar? !Que Novena maravillosa para prepararnos por el “adviento” humilde de nuestro
Rey! La Navidad y la entrada de Dios a la escena
humana nos dice que debemos examinar como tratemos uno al otro. Celebraremos Las Posadas cada
tarde por nueve tardes. Comienza a las 6:30 pm
con el rosario, Misa, y luego una procesión con
velas y cantos y finalmente con una fiesta con una
piñata, refrescos y comida. Los grupos parroquianos son los encargados. Los encargados son: Lectio Divina el 17 de diciembre, la Virgen Peregrina
el 18 de diciembre, las Niñas de la Pequeña Flor
el 19, los Matachines y el Grupo de Liturgia el 20,
Cursillistas y Jóvenes el 21, el grupo de matrimonio mundial el 22, los Caballeros de Colon y el
Grupo de San Juan Bosco el 23, y los Grupos de
Santo Toribio y de Oracion el 24. Esperamos que
todos hacen su parte en preparando por esta Novena y que todos los demás participen y se disfruten!
Este jueves que viene también se llevara a cabo en
el gimnasio el Programa Navideño de la escuela.
Comienza a las 7:00 pm y todos los niños de la
escuela participan.
Todavía no he recibido la cuenta final de la construcción del Santuario de Santo Toribio Romo pero como pueden ver la capillita ya esta casi completa y espero ese bill pronto. La construcción del
altar es aparte y es otro gasto. Les dejare saber
cuanto necesitamos para no tener deuda. Favor
ayudarnos si pueden. Y si no pueden ayudarnos
con dinero favor rezar a San José, a San Andrés y
a Santo Toribio que podemos hallar los fondos que
necesitamos. Cuando el santuario ya esta pagado
quisiera construir un cobertizo de la capillita a la
escuela para tener convivios al aire libre después
de las Misas.
Me parece que esto es suficiente para esta semana.
Las bendiciones del Señor a ustedes y a sus seres
queridos.
Sinceramente,
Padre Timothy Davison,

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Los cristianos latinos tenemos unos cinco siglos en nuestra trayectoria de fe y como todo cristiano aguardamos la segunda venida del Mesías,
Jesús. Nuestra espera forma parte de dos milenios
de cristianos que buscan verlo llegar en las nubes.
Desde el siglo VII la oración oficial de la Iglesia clama el retorno de Cristo con las exclamaciones llamadas las “Antífonas Oh”. Estas llaman a
Jesús pidiéndole que venga bajo los títulos de Emmanuel, Sabiduría celestial, Señor de gran poder,
Vara de Isaí, Llave de David, Alba de la luz, y Deseo y Rey de gentes, y algunos más. Estos refranes se usan aún todavía hoy durante los días 17 al
23 de diciembre, y unidas en un acróstico latino
forman las palabras ero cras (estaré mañana), como respuesta a la petición cristiana. Eventualmente en el siglo X o XI estas antífonas fueron unidas
en el canto gregoriano Veni, veni Emmanuel (Oh
ven, oh ven Emmanuel).
Este Adviento mientras cantamos las antiguas
antífonas hay que preguntarnos si de veras estamos listos para el regreso del Hijo del Hombre que
viene para juzgar a vivos y muertos.
