PREPARE THE WAY
Saint John the Baptist appears on the scene today as Advent enters its second week. The mysterious consumer of locusts and wild honey, John echoes the words of the prophet Isaiah as he calls for repentance in the face of the nearness of the kingdom of heaven. The rhythms of the Christian life are often confounding. Each year we meet the Baptist and hear his calls for repentance. Each year we see him pointing to the one who is coming after him, the Lord Jesus. Yet each year the words and actions of John the Baptist echo anew in our hearts, because we have fallen into old sinful traps again and again. Advent gives us the opportunity once again to turn away from our sinful ways and embrace the gospel way of life. John the Baptist invites us to prepare the way for the Lord, in whom we place our hope. READINGS FOR THE WEEK

Excep onal Catholic Educa on at ICS By: Ester Esco o, 7th Grade Language Arts and Religion Teacher Students walk several paths that lead to Christ at ICS. This is not much different than the golden road that Dorothy was on, as she made her way to The Wizard of Oz. Like her, our students have many people helping them reach their des na on. They have our priests, who o en include a lively and student focused lesson about the history of our Church during our Wednesday masses. Students have learned that the mass can include prayers in the Greek and in Hebrew languages. Our priests take the step‐by‐step approach of educa ng our students to help them be er understand our Catholic Tradi on. Just before going to Mass, we hold our Mission Mass gathering with all of our students. In this space, we usually meet with Principal Zelenka, and he leads students to see God in our world and his relevance to their lives today. He breaks down and explains the Mass readings in a way that is very engaging to students. In the classrooms, students get daily opportuni es to delve deeper into Catholic Tradi ons and biblical teachings. For example, in our literature class, our students make connec ons from the text to faith. In essence, we look for God’s presence and his lessons in any story we read. Using the idea that “God is in the details”, we set out to pur‐ posely look for Him in books of varying genres. Con nuing on this path of the yellow brick road, monthly, students will be going to Adora on. This is a wonderful opportunity for them to come into a closer and more personal rela‐ onship with God. The visits to Adora on are amazing and life changing! This is the place where they will encounter the living God. Walking into ICS is like walking down the yellow brick road towards heaven. We are all on it because we want to meet and see God. He has placed our great Priests, directors, and teachers on this path to help guide our students to Him, while they learn about His love for them along the way.
If you have any ques ons or would like any addi onal informa on about becoming a part of the ICS Family, please contact our ICS Registrar, Mrs. Michele Moody, to set up a personal tour at (813)884‐4502 or icsmmood@icstampa.org

Segundo Domingo de Adviento PREPARA EL CAMINO San Juan Bautista aparece hoy cuando el Adviento comienza su segunda semana. Juan, el misterioso consumidor de saltamontes y miel silvestre, hace eco de las palabras del profeta Isaías en su llamado al arrepentimiento en la cercanía del Reino de los cielos. Los ritmos de la vida cristiana son muchas veces confusos. Todos los años conocemos a Juan Bautista y oímos su llamado al arrepentimiento. Todos los años lo vemos señalando al que vendrá después de él, al Señor Jesús. Sin embargo, cada año las palabras y las acciones de Juan Bautista hacen eco de nuevo en nuestro corazón, porque hemos caído una y otra vez en antiguas trampas pecaminosas. El Adviento nos da otra oportunidad para alejarnos del camino del pecado y aceptar el modo de vida del Evangelio. Juan Bautista nos invita a preparar el camino para el Señor en quien depositamos nuestra esperanza. LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Is 35:1-10; Sal 85 (84):9ab, 10-14; Lc 5:17-26 Martes: Is 40:1-11; Sal 96 (95):1-3, 10ac, 11-13; Mt 18:12-14 Miércoles: Is 40:25-31; Sal 103 (102):1-4, 8, 10; Mt 11:28-30 Jueves: Gn 3:9-15, 20; Sal 98 (97):1-4; Ef 1:3-6, 11-12; Lc 1:26-38 Viernes: Is 48:17-19; Sal 1:1-4, 6; Mt 11:16-19 Sábado: Sir 48:1-4, 9-11; Sal 80 (79):2ac, 3b, 15-16, 18-19; Mt 17:9a, 10-13 Domingo: Is 35:1-6a, 10; Sal 146 (145):6-10; Sant 5:7-10; Mt 11:2-11
