Knights of Columbus New Year’s Eve Party Open to Parish & Community GRUPO ADVIZO ~ DJ BIG “O” 803 S. 8th St., La Porte, TX Dinner & Dance 6:00pm-12:30am Tickets ~Single $25 Couples$35 Reservations@ 281-853-6682 Tickets on sale today after all Masses 2 Dear parish family, 4th Sunday of Advent (B) We are now in the final days of preparation for Christmas. Today's liturgy casts the spotlight on Mary. In the opening prayer of the Mass today we hear these words; "Heavenly Father, the mystery of your eternal Word took flesh on earth when the Virgin Mary placed her life at the service of your plan." God's plans are beyond our ways and sometimes skip our understanding. What appear to us as insignificant, for God it is important. God sometimes chooses the most unexpected places and lowly persons to accomplish his plans. The world tends always to associate greatness with wealth and fame. But the birth of our Lord and Savior in the most humble setting challenges such stereotypes and give us a concrete idea of how the grace of God operate in our lives. The standards of the world often give us so many false hopes. Society is full of examples of people who have reached the highest standards of life in the eyes of the world yet find their life inwardly and spiritually miserable. Even as the world reached the highest sophistication in technology and science yet -the lives of the people are not as contented or fulfilled as the people before us. All of us already acknowledged God in our lives. That's why we are here to give praise and worship to him. Yet what makes us different and great before God is how we allow him to use us for his purposes. All of us come to pray to God to help us in many different aspects of our life or in our many different needs, which are our normal way of relating to him. But how many of us pray that we become his servants at his disposal? This is why Mary is the message of God to us. She allowed herself to be the lowly handmaid of the Lord. Mary is blessed because of her total openness to the plan of God and because of her complete trust and confidence in Him. We are also blessed if like Mary we have the attitude of self-surrender to the message of God rather than the message of the world. The simplicity and pure confidence of Mary to God free her from the confusion of her world. It is also this same simplicity and confidence in God that can free us from the complexity and confusion in the world we live today. We are now in the last Sunday of Advent and only few days before Christmas. The story of the Annunciation and its message is once again closer to home. Mary's response to the angel ought to be also our response today and everyday of our life as Christmas draws near. Let her "yes" be our "yes" to God's message. Only then that God can best realize His wonderful plan for each and every one of us. May you have a joyful Advent and advance Blessed Christmas! Querida familia parroquial, Fr. Tony Cuarto domingo de Adviento (B) Ahora estamos en los últimos días de preparación para la Navidad. La liturgia de hoy pone toda la atención en María. En la oración inicial de la Misa de hoy escuchamos estas palabras; "Padre Celestial, el misterio de su eterna Palabra se hizo carne en la tierra cuando la Virgen María puso su vida al servicio de su plan." Los planes de Dios están más allá de nuestros caminos y, a veces sobrepasan nuestra comprensión. Lo que nos parece tan insignificante, para Dios es muy importante. Dios a veces elige los lugares más inesperados y las personas humildes para lograr sus planes. El mundo tiende siempre a asociar la grandeza con la riqueza y la fama. Pero el nacimiento de nuestro Señor y Salvador en las más humildes condiciones nos reta con tales estereotipos y nos dan una idea concreta de cómo la gracia de Dios opera en nuestras vidas. Los estándares del mundo a menudo nos dan tantas esperanzas falsas. La sociedad está llena de ejemplos de personas que han alcanzado los más altos estándares de vida ante los ojos del mundo y todavía no han encontrado su vida interior y espiritualmente están en un estado desdichado. A pesar de que el mundo alcanzó la más alta sofisticación en la tecnología y la ciencia aún la vida de las personas no están tan satisfechas o contentas como debería ser. Todos nosotros ya reconocimos a Dios en nuestras vidas. Es por eso que estamos aquí para alabarlo y adorarlo. Sin embargo, lo que nos hace diferentes y grande delante de Dios es como permitimos que él nos use para sus propósitos. Todos nosotros venimos a orar a Dios para que nos ayude en muchos aspectos diferentes de nuestras vidas o en nuestras diferentes necesidades, que es nuestra forma normal de relacionarnos con él. Pero, ¿cuántos de nosotros oramos para convertimos en sus servidores y estar a su disposición? Es por esto que María es el mensaje de Dios para nosotros. Ella se permitió humildemente ser la esclava del Señor. María es bienaventurada por su apertura total al plan de Dios y por su completa confianza y la confianza en Él. También estamos bendecidos si como María tenemos la actitud de auto-entrega al mensaje de Dios antes que al mensaje del mundo. La confianza simple y pura de María hacia Dios la libera de la confusión de su mundo. También es esta misma sencillez y confianza en Dios que nos puede liberar de la complejidad y confusión en el mundo en que vivimos hoy. Ahora estamos en el último domingo de Adviento y sólo unos días antes de Navidad. La historia de la Anunciación y su mensaje está una vez más cerca de casa. La respuesta de María al ángel debe ser también nuestra respuesta hoy y todos los días de nuestra vida ya que se acerca la Navidad. Deje que su "sí" sea nuestro "sí" al mensaje de Dios. Sólo entonces Dios puede realizar mejor su plan maravilloso para todos y cada uno de nosotros. ¡Que tengas un Adviento de alegría y una Feliz Navidad! Padre Tony ST.

St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store Mon.-Wed., Fri., Sat. 9:00-11:00am Store Closed Thurs. & Sun. Imagine how Mary felt at he birth of Jesus: excited, awed, frightened.

Through your donations to our thrift store, St. Vincent has been able to bring the spirit of Christmas to the hearts of the poor, providing assistance to the needy in our community. Our Resale Shop here at St. Mary’s is in desperate need of volunteers. Several of our regular volunteers have had to be taken off of the schedule due to medical issues.
