The Holy Father speaks…
“New situations require new energy and a new commitment,” [and then he offered
a new list of beatitudes for modern Christians]
– “Blessed are those who remain faithful while enduring evils inflicted on them
by others and forgive them from their heart.”
– “Blessed are those who look into the eyes of the abandoned and marginalized
and show them their closeness.”
– “Blessed are those who see God in every person and strive to make others
also discover Him.”
– “Blessed are those who protect and care for our common home.”
– “Blessed are those who renounce their own comfort in order to help others.”
– “Blessed are those who pray and work for full communion between
Christians.”
“All these are messengers of God’s mercy and tenderness, surely they will receive from Him their
merited reward.”

Have you sponsored a Christmas tree yet? Have you dedicated a chair yet in our new Chapel?
Have you made an "end of the year" tax deductible donation? Have you added the parish to the bequests in
your will? Have you decided to increase your Sunday donation in the next year?
Our annual celebration of light will begin with our tree lighting on Saturday, December 10th
after the 5 pm Mass. The trees will be lit every night until the Epiphany in January.
Along with celebrating the birth of Christ, the Light of the World, this annual event is also a fund raising
event for our parish. Despite what some people may think, we are still paying off the two million dollar
renovation of our lower church -- St. Joseph Chapel.
Thank you again for your continued pledges to the Generations of Faith Campaign which
will help to pay down our debt.
We like to keep our two Churches and other buildings in great shape and to
keep you proud to belong to such a beautiful parish for yourselves
and for your children and grandchildren.
These efforts cost a fortune and we DEPEND ON YOU to help us.

El Adviento, tiempo para prepararse y estar en gracia, para vivir y celebrar plenamente la
Navidad.
Significado del Adviento: La palabra latina "adventus" significa “venida, llegada”. En el
lenguaje cristiano se refiere a la venida de Jesucristo. La liturgia de la Iglesia da el nombre
de Adviento a las cuatro semanas que preceden a la Navidad, como una oportunidad para
prepararnos en la esperanza y en el arrepentimiento para la llegada del Señor.
El color litúrgico de este tiempo es el morado que significa penitencia. Con el Adviento comienza un nuevo año
litúrgico en la iglesia.
El tiempo de Adviento es un período privilegiado para los cristianos ya que nos invita a recordar el pasado, nos
impulsa a vivir el presente y a preparar el futuro.
Esta es su triple finalidad: Recordar el pasado: Celebrar y contemplar el nacimiento de Jesús en Belén. El
Señor ya vino y nació en Belén. Esta fue su venida en la carne, lleno de humildad y pobreza. Vino como uno de
nosotros, hombre entre los hombres. Esta fue su primera venida.
Vivir el presente: Se trata de vivir en el presente de nuestra vida diaria la "presencia de Jesucristo" en nosotros
y, por nosotros, en el mundo. Vivir siempre vigilantes, caminando por los caminos del Señor, en la justicia y en
el amor.
Preparar el futuro: Se trata de prepararnos para la Parusía o segunda venida de Jesucristo en la "majestad de
su gloria". Entonces vendrá como Señor y como Juez de todas las naciones, y premiará con el Cielo a los que
han creído en Él; vivido como hijos fieles del Padre y hermanos buenos de los demás. Esperamos su venida
gloriosa que nos traerá la salvación y la vida eterna sin sufrimientos.
Queridos padres,

Have you ever told someone some good news?
