THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT
DECEMBER 13, 2020
Courageously Living the Gospel through Our Lives He said: “I am the voice of one crying out in the desert, ‘make straight the way of the Lord.’” – John 1:23 Have you ever said, or heard someone say, “Who do you think you are?” Usually this is said to question someone’s authority to say or do something. And this was likely the case with John the Baptist as we read about in this weekend’s Gospel from John. Some priests, Levites, and Pharisees were sent by others to question John the Baptist. They asked him, “Who are you?” and “Are you a Prophet? Are you Elijah?” He told them, “no,” and went on to state that he was, quoting the Prophet Isaiah, “the voice of one crying out in the desert, ‘make straight the way of the Lord.’” John was proclaiming the coming of the Messiah. On this third Sunday of Advent known as Gaudete Sunday, a word which means rejoice, we wait in joyful hope for His coming as well. If someone were to ask you the question, “who are you?” “are you a Christian?”, what would you say? Could someone tell you are a follower of Jesus Christ by how you act and by what you say? Many people today claim they’re spiritual, but not religious. Others say they are Christian but don’t practice the faith or live in a Christian manner. Sure, all Christians stumble along the way, and we’re not always the best at giving witness to our faith. But with God’s help we keep going forward. You can usually tell an authentic Christian by how they live. They exude love, compassion, understanding and mercy, and are willing to share their faith with anyone who might be interested in listening. Do you have the courage to do that? We are called to Courageously Live the Gospel through our lives. Ask the Holy Spirit to give you the strength and courage to do so.” -Bishop Gregory Parkes Happy Gaudete Sunday!! I pray all are well. All of us are well, in fact – we priests are in the pink! This being the third week of Advent the pink candle reminds us that we are well past the half-way mark for the arrival of Christmas. Writing this the Monday before the weekend I don’t remember from last year if we, the priests have pink vestments from the parish or not. The term for the color is actually dusty rose, I guess the “dusty” makes it a manly color. LOL This past week we also had two celebrations in the Liturgical calendar celebrating and highlighting the Blessed Mother, December 8th being the feast of the Immaculate Conception of the Blessed Virgin Mary, this being the patronal feast day of the United states of America. We also celebrated on the 12th the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. I would love to tell you both were a great turn out but it has not happened yet – I have to write these early, so here’s hoping! Advent readings, on the weekends is usually the time we hear a lot about John the Baptist who is once again highlighted today. The beauty of John is that his entire life was focused upon doing God’s will and being the voice announcing Jesus, so even though we are hearing about John, his words are always directed towards Jesus. Our second reading comes to us from St. Paul and his words truly echo John’s life – “Pray without ceasing. In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ.” Have a blessed and Holy week, God Bless You! -Love, Fr. Mike

Mejoren la situación. “Cada dólar ayuda a cubrir nuestros gastos”, dice un abad trapense. Cientos de comunidades religiosas en EE. UU. luchan para cuidar a sus miembros ancianos porque la mayoría de las hermanas, hermanos y sacerdotes católicos mayores de órdenes religiosas sirvieron recibiendo escaso o ningún pago. Su donativo al Fondo para la Jubilación de Religiosos ayuda a estas comunidades a cubrir las carencias, ofreciendo ayuda para recetas médicas, cuidados de enfermería y otras necesidades. Por favor sean generosos en la colecta hoy.
Make a difference. “Every dollar makes a difference in covering our expenses,” says a Trappist abbot. Hundreds of US religious communities struggle to provide for aging members because most senior Catholic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests served for little pay. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious helps these communities bridge the gap, offering support for medications, nursing care, and other necessities. Please be generous in Today’s Collection. 6
THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT
DECEMBER 13, 2020
Our Public Masses Have Resumed With Nuestra Misas Publicas Se Reanuden Con Revised Mass Schedule and Safety Horario de Misas Revisado y Protocolos Protocols In Effect de Seguridad En Efecto (Face masks are mandatory for people who attend mass).
Here are some details of some changes to expect. The dispensation from the obligation to attend Sunday Mass is still in effect and will be until further notice. Everyone must use main entrance and follow the instructions of the ushers. Please be patient. The side doors are ONLY emergency exits. They are marked by green crosses. People who live in the same home may sit together. Ushers will greet each person and show them to their seat. In order to properly disinfect after each Mass, the Sunday schedule will be:
Saturday 4:00 pm Sunday 7am, 9am & 11am, Spanish at 1pm Please limit private prayer after mass to no longer than 5 minutes so our volunteers can properly disinfect the church. The chapel and cry room will remain closed. There will be a collection basket at the entrance. No basket will be passed around and there will be no basket bearers. Hand sanitizer dispensers are in the Narthex as you enter and leave. No holding hands at Our Father and no contact peace. Ushers will direct section by section in a single line at three communion spots. Communion is ONLY distributed on the hand, not the tongue, for the time being at Incarnation. Please respect other’s space in communion line with proper distance.
Las mascarillas son obligatorias para las personas que asisten a misa.
A continuación, detalles de algunos cambios a implementar: Continúa la dispensa de no asistir a la Misa de Domingo, hasta próximo aviso. Todos debemos usar la puerta principal de la iglesia, así como seguir las instrucciones de los acomodadores (ujieres). Por favor ejercitemos la paciencia. Las puertas laterales de la iglesia se usarían SOLO en emergencia. Siga la guía de las marcas con cinta verde en los bancos. Los ujieres (acomodadores) cortésmente le indicarán los espacios disponibles. Las personas que viven en una misma casa pueden sentarse juntos en el mismo banco. En atención al hecho de que debemos desinfectar los bancos después de cada misa, el horario de celebración de misas es como sigue:
Sábado: 4:00 p.m. Domingo: 7am, 9am & 11am, 1:00 p.m. en Español La capilla y el cuarto para familias con niños pequeños permanecerán cerrados. Canasta de colecta: las encontraremos a la entrada. No pasaremos la canasta dentro de la misa y por el momento las especies para la consagración serán colocados en la mesa cerca del altar en lugar de llevarlos en procesión. Tendrá la oportunidad de higienizar sus manos a la entrada/ salida del templo. No unirnos de manos durante el Padre Nuestro; no contacto en el saludo de la Paz. Los Ujieres dirigen a los comulgantes a formar una sola fila para la comunión, la cual se hará por sección, habrán tres estaciones para recibir la Comunión. Por el momento, La Comunión será distribuida solo en la mano, no sobre la lengua. Por favor mantenga la distancia entre personas en la fila para recibir la Comunión.

Tercer Domingo de Adviento ¡¡¡Les deseo un Feliz Domingo de Regocijo!!! los sacerdotes visten se de rosado! Esta es la tercera semana de Adviento, la vela rosa nos recuerda que ya estamos a mitad del camino hacia la llegada de la Navidad. Estoy escribiendo estas líneas el lunes antes del fin de semana; no recuerdo si el año pasado nosotros, los sacerdotes, usamos vestiduras rosas de la parroquia o no. El término para el color de la vestimenta es más bien conocido como rosado (en lugar de rosa); supongo que el simple término, lo convierte en un color varonil. Jajaja La semana pasada también tuvimos dos celebraciones en el calendario litúrgico, celebrando y destacando la Santísima Madre, siendo el 8 de diciembre la fiesta de la Inmaculada Concepción de la Santísima Virgen María, la Fiesta Patronal de los Estados Unidos de América. También celebramos el día 12 la festividad de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. Me gustaría poder decirle en este momento, que ambas celebraciones contaron con la participación de muchos feligreses; pero sucede, que estoy escribiendo esta nota antes del día de esa importante festividad; guardando la esperanza de disfrutar con ustedes tan especial celebración. Es durante el fin de semana que normalmente escuchamos sobre Juan el Bautista, de quien escuchamos una vez más en el día de hoy. La vida del Bautista estuvo enfocada en hacer la voluntad de dios y ser la voz que anunciara a Jesús, así que, aunque escuchamos acerca de Juan, sus palabras siempre están dirigidas hacia Jesús. Nuestra segunda lectura nos viene de San Pablo y sus palabras verdaderamente se hacen eco de la vida de Juan: “Ora sin cesar. En toda circunstancia da gracias porque esta es la voluntad de Dios para ti, en Cristo ".
13 de diciembre de 2020 Los Caballeros de Colón saludarán a la comunidad con una tarjeta especial después de todas las misas del 19 y 20 de diciembre en el pórtico para celebrar el nacimiento de nuestro Salvador. Debido a las normas de distanciamiento social, cada feligrés deberá tomar la tarjeta por sí mismo de una mesa asignada."
MENSAJE IMPORTANTE DE LA OFICINA PARROQUIAL MODIFICACIÓN SOBRES PARA EL OFERTORIO (COLECTA) Los sobres para el Ofertorio se van a distribuir en forma anual. (ya no en forma bimensual) Nov/1/2020 hasta 10/31/2021 *Los sobres están dentro de una pequeña caja, lo cual es más fácil de usar y guardar en lugar seguro *En lo adelante no enviaremos sobres por correo. *Favor de llamar a Rae, al telf. (813)493-3069 para coordinar el mejor momento de recoger sus sobres en la Oficina. *Este cambio ayudará la Parroquia a practicar la corresponsabilidad, facilitándole las cosas a usted, el feligrés.
Que tengan una bendecida Semana Santa ¡Dios les bendiga! Reciban mi cariño, Padre Mike
El mese de diciembre, el apostolado Cinco Panes y Dos Peces, estará recibiendo donaciones de ropa de frio, para personas sin hogar, en el vestíbulo del templo y en los horarios de las misas.

Vivimos valientemente el Evangelio a través de nuestras vidas Juan les contestó: “Yo soy la voz que grita en el desierto: «Enderecen el camino del Señor»”. Juan 1, 23 ¿Has dicho alguna vez o escuchado decir a alguien: "¿Quién te crees que eres?" Normalmente se dice esto para cuestionar la autoridad de lo que alguien dice o hace. Y probablemente éste fuera el caso de Juan el Bautista, como leemos en el Evangelio de san Juan de este fin de semana. Algunos sacerdotes, levitas y fariseos fueron enviados por otros para cuestionar a Juan el Bautista. Le preguntaron: "¿Quién eres, pues?" ¿Eres Elías?" Él les respondió: "No lo soy". “¿Eres el profeta?” Respondió: “No”. Y, citando al profeta Isaías, continuó diciendo: "Yo soy la voz que grita en el desierto: «Enderecen el camino del Señor»". Juan estaba proclamando la llegada del Mesías. En este tercer domingo de Adviento conocido como el domingo de gaudete, palabra que significa regocijo, también nosotros esperamos su llegada con una alegre esperanza. Si alguien te preguntara: "¿Quién eres?", "¿Eres cristiano?", ¿cómo responderías? ¿Podría la gente decir que eres un discípulo de Jesucristo por tu manera de actuar y de expresarte? Mucha gente de hoy en día aseguran ser espirituales, pero no religiosos. Otros dicen que son cristianos, pero no practican la fe ni viven de una manera cristiana. Claro que todos los cristianos tropezamos en el camino y no siempre somos los mejores en dar testimonio de nuestra fe. Pero, con la ayuda de Dios, seguimos adelante. Normalmente se podemos identificar a un cristiano auténtico por su manera de vivir. Irradian amor, compasión, comprensión y misericordia, y están dispuestos a compartir su fe con cualquier persona que esté dispuesta a escuchar. ¿Tienes la valentía para hacer esto? Estamos llamados a Vivir Valientemente el Evangelio en nuestra propia vida. Pídele al Espíritu Santo que te dé la fuerza y la valentía para hacerlo". -Monseñor Gregory Parkes LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Nm 24:2-7, 15-17a; Sal 25 (24):4-5ab, 6, 7bc-9; Mt 21:23-27 Martes: Sof 3:1-2, 9-13; Sal 34 (33):2-3, 6-7, 17-18, 19, 23; Mt 21:28 -32 Miércoles: Is 45:6b-8, 18, 21c-25; Sal 85 (84):9ab, 10-14; Lc 7:18b-23 Jueves: Gn 49:2, 8-10; Sal 72 (71):1-4ab, 7-8, 17; Mt 1:1-17 Viernes: Jer 23:5-8; Sal 72 (71):1-2, 12-13, 18-19; Mt 1:18-25 Sábado: Jue 13:2-7, 24-25a; Sal 71 (70):3-4a, 5-6ab, 16-17; Lc 1:525 Domingo: 2 Sm 7:1-5, 8b-12, 14a, 16; Sal 89 (88):2-5, 27, 29; Rom 16:25-27; Lc 1:26-38
