We adorn a Jesse Tree with illustrated ornaments that represent the people, prophesies, and events leading up to the birth of Jesus. The ornaments of the Jesse Tree tell the story of God in the Old Testament, connecting the Advent season with the faithfulness of God across four thousand years of history. The Giving Tree We have a Giving Tree to supply Christmas gifts to those less fortunate located near the altar of the church. We will be helping some of the needy children in our parish and the children in the Rockaways who are still recovering from the devastation caused by Hurricane Sandy. If you wish to donate a gift, please choose an ornament from the giving tree, purchase the gift, and return it unwrapped before Christmas. Thank you.

Cuarto Domingo de Adviento Hoy, San Lucas nos presenta aquella magnífica realidad creada por Dios, cuyo punto culminante es: “Vas a concebir y a dar a luz un hijo y le pondrás por nombre Jesús” (Lucas 1, 31). La Navidad está ya cerca y María nos abre la puerta colaborando con la obra de Dios. Cuando escucha sorprendida el anuncio del ángel, María vive momentos dramáticos: Es virgen y ahora, antes de casarse, Dios le propone ser madre. Como no lo entiende, el ángel le aclara que la obra se realizará por la gracia del Espíritu Santo, porque para Dios no hay nada imposible. No es que luego ella lo entienda mejor, pero la explicación le basta y responde: “Hágase en mí según tu palabra”, es decir, “Cúmplase en mí lo que me has dicho.” ¡Sí, que así sea! ¡Fiat, hágase! En aquel mismo instante, “Aquel que es la Palabra se hizo hombre y habitó entre nosotros” (Juan 1, 14). Y contemplamos esta escena impresionante de la Anunciación, el acontecimiento más grandioso de la historia de la Humanidad: Dios, el Creador y Señor de todas las cosas, se hace hombre como nosotros. Invitamos a todos los feligreses a participar en la devoción al Sagrado Corazón de Jesús. Celebramos la Hora Santa el primer viernes de cada mes a las 8:00 p.m., y la Santa Misa el primer domingo del mes a las 12:00 p.m.. Al finalizar la Santa Eucaristía, nos reunimos en el sótano de la Iglesia. ¡Acompáñenos! La forma es sencilla; el acontecimiento, de magnitud cósmica. Como son también inmensas las virtudes de la Virgen María: llena de gracia, humilde, sencilla, disponible ante la voluntad divina. Dios tiene sus planes para ella, como también para ti y para mí, pero él espera la cooperación libre y amorosa de cada uno para llevarlos a término. La respuesta de María no es tan sólo un sí al mensaje del ángel; es un ponerse totalmente en las manos de Dios Padre, un abandonarse confiadamente a su providencia entrañable, un decir sí a dejar que el Señor haga su voluntad hoy y en todas las circunstancias de su vida. Como misión principal de la Cofradía, es nuestro deber llevar oración (el Santo Rosario) e instrucción bíblica a las casas necesitadas. Si usted necesita oración, o sabe de algún hogar por el que se deba orar, por favor llame a: Ahora que nos preparamos para celebrar la Navidad, la mejor manera de hacerlo es permanecer junto a María para esperar el nacimiento del Salvador. ¿Qué le vas a decir tú?
