First Sunday of Advent
November 29, 2015
I will raise up for David a just shoot; he shall do what is right and
just in the land.
— Jeremiah 33:15
Esquina del Pastor
Welcome to all as we gather to prepare the way of
the Lord in our lives and hearts! This is the time of
year where we look to see if we have room in our
hearts and lives for Jesus. Too often there is no room
in our lives because we have other priorities. Now is
the time to change!
A good way to help us in our Advent preparation
has been the use of the Advent wreath. The wreath is
a circle, which has no beginning or end. So we call to
mind how our lives, here and now, participate in the
eternity of God’s plan of salvation and how we hope to
share eternal life in the Kingdom of Heaven. The
light represents Christ, who entered this world to
scatter the darkness of evil and show us the way
of righteousness. The progression of lighting candles
shows our increasing readiness to meet our Lord. I
would encourage each family to have an Advent
wreath, light it at dinner time, and say the Advent
wreath prayers. This tradition will help each family
keep its focus on the true meaning of Christmas.
I pray all of us will prepare the way of the Lord.
Bienvenidos a todos mientras nos reunimos para
preparar el camino del Señor en nuestras vidas y
corazones! Esta es la época del año en que miramos a ver
si tenemos espacio en nuestros corazones y vidas para
Jesús. Demasiado a menudo no hay lugar en nuestra
vida, porque tenemos otras prioridades. ¡Ahora es el
momento de cambiar!
Una buena manera de ayudarnos a prepararnos para el
Adviento ha sido el uso de la corona de Adviento. La
corona es un círculo, que no tiene principio ni fin. Así que
llevamos a la mente cómo nuestras vidas, aquí y ahora,
participan en la eternidad del plan de salvación de Dios y
cómo esperamos compartir la vida eterna en el Reino del
Cielo. La luz representa a Cristo, que vino al mundo para
dispersar la oscuridad del mal y mostrarnos el camino de
la justicia. El proceso semanal de encender velas
demuestra nuestra creciente disposición a cumplir con
nuestro Señor. Me gustaría animar a cada familia a tener
una corona de Adviento, encenderla a la hora de la cena,
y decir las oraciones de la corona de Adviento. Esta
tradición ayudará a cada familia a mantener su enfoque en
el verdadero significado de la Navidad.
Ruego que todos nosotros preparemos el camino del
Señor.
Dear Brothers in Christ,
Today we celebrate the first Sunday of advent. The
Word advent comes from the latin Adventus, which
means coming. The Church has consecrated this
time before Christmas as a way of preparing the
second coming of our Lord. At the same time it is a
period to renew the mystery of the incarnation in our
lives.
We must prepare ourselves in this four-week
period for his coming in our soul. But how? How can
we avoid for Christmas to become just another one?
The first thing is to pray. Pray for the grace to
understand that God himself has wanted to dwell
among us. A God who is not indifferent to suffering
and human happiness. On the other hand we must
also get prepared externally. The first missionaries in
Latin America understood the strength symbols have
to convey the deepest truths of faith. Let us prepare
our homes with Christian decorations that help us
deepen more into the mystery of Christmas. God
bless your week.
Queridos Hermanos,
Hoy celebramos el primer domingo de adviento. La
palabra adviento viene del latín “adventus” que significa
venida. La Iglesia ha consagrado este tiempo antes de la
Navidad como una manera de preparación para la
segunda venida de nuestro Señor y a la vez como un
tiempo de renovar el misterio de la encarnación en
nuestras vidas.
Hay que prepararnos en este período de cuatro
semanas para su venida en nuestra alma. Pero, ¿cómo
hacerlo? ¿Cómo evitar que la navidad se convierta en
otra más? Lo primero es orar. Orar para pedir la gracia
de entender que el mismo Dios ha querido habitar entre
nosotros. Un Dios que no es indiferente al sufrimiento y a
la felicidad humana. Por otro lado hay que también
prepararse externamente. Los primeros misioneros en
Latinoamérica entendieron la fuerza que tiene los
símbolos para transmitir las verdades más profundas de
la fe. Preparemos nuestros hogares con adornos
cristianos que nos ayuden a profundizar más en el
misterio de la navidad. Dios bendiga su semana.

Youth Ministry News
Who are you? This is the challenge we gave our
year 1 teens on their over night retreat. To discover
who they really are. A lot of us wear different masks
when we are out and about. We have a church
mask, a family mask, a friends mask, a relationship
mask , all types of different masks. Now obviously
I’m not talking about a literal mask but more of an
emotional or spiritual mask. We live in a world that
tells us not to follow the things that our faith teaches
us and shoves everything we go against in our
face. Its hard to live a truly Christian life when the
world around us tells us differently. And because of
this we act a certain way around certain people so
that we aren’t outcast. But what we need to do is
truly live as the person we are, and not put on a
show for different people just to be accepted. So
who are you? Do you truly live as who you are or do
you live as others want you to be?

EUCHARISTIC ADORATION
Every Friday
Friday 9 a.m. — Saturday 8:30 a.m.

Apostles for their hardest test and for a mission that
would take them to the ends of the earth. “Whoever eats
my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life”.
(Fr. Tom Forrest, CSSR.)
