The season of Advent is upon us, and in today’s Gospel Jesus
delivers a simple message through the pen of Saint Mark: “Be
watchful! Be alert!” Christian stewards understand what Jesus
meant when he said, “It’s like a man going away: He leaves his
house and puts his servants in charge, each with his assigned
task.” Good stewards realize that to each one a task is assigned
by God. They have been set in a particular place and station in
life, and have been gifted with unique relationships. How do we
respond to the tasks or cultivate our relationships in a way that
keeps us alert for the return of Christ?
MENSAJE DE LOS CORRESPONSABLES…
Primer Domingo de Adviento
El tiempo de Adviento ya está sobre nosotros, y en el Evangelio
de hoy Jesús presenta un sencillo mensaje a través de la pluma
de San Marcos: “¡Estén atentos! ¡Estén alerta!” Los cristianos
corresponsables comprenden lo que la palabra de Jesús
significa cuando dice, “Es como cuando un hombre sale: él deja
su casa y a sus servidores a cargo, cada uno con una tarea
asignada.” Los buenos corresponsables reconocen que a cada
uno le ha sido asignada por Dios una tarea. Que ellos han sido
puestos en un lugar particular y en una época de la vida, y les
han sido otorgadas relaciones únicas. ¿Cómo respondemos a las
tareas o cultivamos nuestras relaciones de manera que nos
mantengan alerta para el regreso de Cristo?

Dear Parishioners,
Can you believe it? It's time for Advent already!
Such a beautiful season, but it takes some extra prayers to
keep us focused on what this season is all about. Not unlike
the longer Season of Lent, which prepares us for the great
feast of Easter, Advent is the time of preparation for Christmas, another great feast of the church year.
Like Lent, which is overall a season of penance,
whose theme gradually changes from works of penance to
Jesus' preparation for his death, Advent begins with a great
emphasis on our preparation for the end of time, and then
gradually changes its focus on the preparation of Jesus' birth.
Above all, Advent reminds us that all of our waiting
and preparation for the coming of Jesus is not in vain. To
avail ourselves of the joyful news and graces of this Advent
season, we need to ask ourselves, " How can I keep focused
on preparing my heart for Jesus' coming amid all the busyness and heightened activity of the holiday season?
Advent is the perfect time for us to celebrate the
Sacrament of Reconciliation. You are welcome to come back
to church this Sunday afternoon, November 30th, at 4:30
p.m., for our Communal Penance Service, where there will
be several priests to hear confessions. The Seasonal Deanery
Penance Services for December will be listed in the bulletin
as well.
Father Tom
Estimados Feligreses,
Ahora se nos encuentra en el santo tiempo del
Adviento, una palabra que significa "la Venida"-exactamente
la venida de Jesucristo. Es una estación de 4 semanas,
Durante las dos primeras semanas, enfocamos sobre la
segunda venida de Jesús en el momento de nuestra muerte, y
al final del mundo; las dos últimas semanas, enfocamos
sobre la primera venida de Jesús en su nacimiento, y durante
este tiempo celebramos las posadas.
Lo que nos impacta mucho también es la
celebración de la apariencia de la Virgen Madre de Dios de
Guadalupe a Juan Diego en Diciembre de 1531. Porque en
especial celebramos las dos últimas semanas de Adviento los
acontecimientos de María, la Madre de Jesús en la historia de
salvación, es importante que no veamos aparte las
celebraciones Guadalupanas de la importancia de María en
las sagradas escrituras.
Quiero agregar de mencionar las fechas y horas
cuando vamos a celebrar las celebraciones Guadalupanas:
Viernes, 5 de Diciembre, 7:00PM. Misa con Novena,
Bendición del Santísimo Sacramento, y una plática por parte
de Maribel Parroquín de México. Domingo, 7 de Diciembre,
Rosario Guadalupano antes de la Misa a las 11:20PM.
Lunes 8 de Diciembre, La Inmaculada Concepción-Misa
Bilingüe a las 7:00PM. Martes, 9. Miércoles 10, y Jueves 11
de diciembre. Misa a las 7:00PM. Jueves 11 después de
Misa; Homenajes, presentación del manto de la Virgen,
Mañanitas Viernes 12 de Diciembre, Misa Solemne,
7:00PM. Con convivió después.
Gracias a todos los feligreses que han patrocinado la
Virgen es sus casas desde el 29 de Octubre.

St. Mary of the Annunciation † New Albany, Indiana
SCRIPTURE AND STUDY
THE WORD IN OUR LIVES
First Sunday of Advent
Watch Out!
In Advent, we celebrate our hope that the Lord
might come more fully into our lives. The first reading from
Isaiah voices the hope of sinners for a redeemer. As sinners, we too hope for forgiveness. Unlike Isaiah, we know
that God has come to bring us back, when the Father sent
his Son, Jesus, to save us. And God’s power was manifest in
the raising of Christ from the dead. Our faith in Jesus leads
us to a new way of looking at the world. We can see what
God is doing as well as remembering what God has done.
The Gospel reminds us to look constantly for signs
of God’s work. Jesus says simply, “Watch!” Like the gatekeepers in Jesus’ short parable, we need to keep our eyes
open for him. Just as we expect people driving cars to turn
off their cell phones and keep their eyes on the road, so we
can stop looking for whatever makes us comfortable and
watch for ways to love others as
God loves us. When we only look
out for ourselves, we may miss
the signs of God’s presence
around us. Instead of looking at
the difficulties of life as obstacles,
we can watch for them as opportunities to stretch our faith, to
rely on God, or to show God’s
love to a friend. The recent retranslation of the prayers of the
Mass can be an opportunity to stretch our faith and our
understanding of the Eucharist.
The Corinthians were also watching for the Lord to
come. Paul encourages them (and us) by his reminder that
we “are not lacking in any spiritual gift” (1 Corinthians 1:7).
The Holy Spirit gives us all we need to help each other prepare for the Lord’s coming. They were thinking of Jesus as
coming in glory. Though we don’t see the full glory of the
Lord, part of that glory is his presence in the sacraments.
In them we celebrate not just the coming of the Lord, but
his working in the world. He shares his life with us in baptism, gives us his Spirit in confirmation and himself in the
Eucharist, heals us in reconciliation and the anointing of
the sick, and calls us to make him present to others in holy
orders and matrimony. You could almost say his second
coming is taking place now. Watch for it.

LA PALABRA DE DIOS HOY
“Ojalá rasgaras los cielos y bajaras”. Esta frase tomada de
la primera lectura de hoy del profeta Isaías resume para
nosotros la postura del pueblo de Dios ahora que comenzamos un nuevo Adviento, un tiempo de espera, de
añoranza y de expectativas. Año tras año cantamos “Oh
ven, oh ven, Emmanuel” y, sin embargo, basta mirar a
nuestro derredor para ver cómo Dios parece estar ausente
de nuestro mundo. Ahora que ante nuestros ojos se inaugura el Adviento unamos nuestra oración al lamento de
los antiguos israelitas, pidiendo
vehemente la presencia de Dios.
Comencemos también el Adviento animados por las palabras
de san Pablo, que nos asegura
que Dios es fiel. Finalmente, dejemos que la última palabra del
Evangelio de hoy penetre nuestro
propio corazón y el corazón de
nuestra comunidad de fe. Que el
Señor, cuando llegue de súbito, no nos encuentre dormidos. Cuando la palabra de Dios sea proclamada hoy dejemos que esa palabra sea como una alarma que nos despierta del letargo de nuestra autocomplacencia.

Solemnity of Christ the King
Theme: Jesus' kingdom is a kingdom of actions and
deeds, not merely of words.
Breaking Open the Word
Suggested text for faith sharing: Today’s Gospel
Step One: Listen to the Word
As you hear this powerful, disturbing reading today, what
words in it jump off the page for you? What image or idea
lingers in your mind now?
Step Two: Look into Your Life
Question for Children: Who are the people most in
need of help who live around you, and how can you help
them?
Question for Youth: What can you do (alone, with
friends, or with your family) to help those who are without
food, shelter, or have other needs? When have you seen
Jesus in the poor?
Question for Adults: As you grapple with this very
strong, direct and demanding Gospel passage, name the
people for whom you have cared personally or if there are
none, those for whom you will offer care in the coming
weeks.
