finds its source in the Holy Eucharist. The Holy Eucharist is the Real Presence of Jesus Christ; His Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. At Mass, the representation of Christ’s Sacrifice on Calvary is being made present again; the same Sacrifice that happened around the year 33A.D. is renewed at every validly celebrated Mass. At the particular moment in time when Jesus died on the Cross, blood and water flowed from His side, and the Church, the mystical body of Christ, was born. This source of grace is being bestowed upon us every time we attend Mass. Thus, Spiritual Mothers, and their spiritual children have its source in the Holy Eucharist. “And does not physical motherhood also have to be a spiritual motherhood, in order to respond to the whole truth about the human being …? Thus there exist many reasons for discerning in these two different paths – the two different vocations of women – a profound complementarity, and even a profound union within a person’s being.” –Pope St. John Paul II, Mulieris Dignitatem, 21 If you are a woman and feel you are being called to this Ministry, please call or email Cheralyn Quevedo at (813) 523-9349 cjqcafe@gmail.com. We will be praying a Rosary of Intercession for Priests every Thursday at 9:00am in the Cry Room.

Second Sunday of Advent
Jubilee Year of Mercy December 6, 2015 Second Sunday of Advent This Tuesday, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception, Pope Francis will open the “Holy Door” in Saint Peter’s Basilica, symbolically opening the Jubilee Year of Mercy. In today’s scriptures, Baruch confidently anticipates God’s healing of the brokenness of humanity, and Paul sees God bringing our discernment, knowledge, and love to fulfillment. Our experience of life and of ourselves can make such prophecies seem wildly optimistic, even hopelessly naïve. Pope Francis challenges us to live this Jubilee Year as a graced time, when God’s mercy reawakens our enthusiasm to live our baptismal call as gospel people, our hope renewed and ourselves recommitted to selfless charity. Notice that in Luke’s Gospel today, God bypasses the religious elite and politically powerful to speak to a humble believer in the barren desert the saving word that will transform history. So God’s mercy continues to accomplish humanity’s salvation in and through ordinary, flawed, and least likely instruments— even us. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

PUT ON JOY Second Sunday of Advent December 6, 2015
God has commanded that every lofty mountain be made low. — Baruch 5:7
Today, Baruch speaks of the splendor that lies ahead for the city of Jerusalem and for all of us, regardless of where home is for us. Throw off strife, he tells us, and put on joy. Like a favorite old sweatshirt, joy fits, and how warm it keeps us, even when the winds blow cold. Paul knows of this joy as he pens his letter to the Philippians, praying that they may grow in their ability to discern what is righteous and good. And Luke speaks to us of John, who was foretold by Isaiah and who sings a similar song—“Prepare the way of the Lord,” for salvation is at hand. A man ahead of his time, Baruch spent his days joyfully awaiting a distant glory. On this Second Sunday of Advent, Paul and John know that this glory is upon us. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Domingo 6 de Diciembre de 2015. Segundo Domingo de Adviento Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios Hace muchos años, los hombres y las mujeres esperaban que Dios les enviase alguien que les enseñara a cumplir su voluntad, a ser mejores, a quererse los unos a los otros. Entre las personas que esperaban la llegada del Mesías estaban María y José. Un ángel les dijo que María tendría un hijo y que éste sería el enviado de Dios para ser el hermano mayor de todos los hombres y mujeres y para enseñar a todos cuál es la voluntad de Dios. A partir de aquel momento, María y José prepararon todo para el nacimiento de Jesús. Los cristianos recordamos el tiempo de espera del nacimiento de Jesús cuatro semanas antes de Navidad. A este tiempo de preparación lo llamamos Adviento, que significa “venida”. El tiempo de Adviento sirve para reflexionar e intentar ser mejores y así poder celebrar la Navidad con paz y mucha alegría. La Iglesia católica comienza cada año litúrgico con el tiempo de Adviento. Cada año, por estas fechas, comenzamos a recordar los sucesos más importantes del plan de salvación de Dios con la hermosa fiesta de Navidad. La redención del hombre se debe a la muerte y Resurrección de Jesús, es decir a la Pascua, pero es lógico celebrar el inicio de esa gran manifestación del amor de Dios, o sea, su venida al mundo con el "Adviento" El tiempo de Adviento nació como tiempo de preparación para celebrar la fiesta de la Navidad. Nuestra preparación no tiene que ser sólo litúrgica, sino también espiritual y moral, es decir, una llamada a la conversión del corazón y a la renovación de vida. El tiempo de Adviento no es un tiempo de penitencia al estilo de la cuaresma, que busca la conversión por el hecho de conocer el sacrificio de Jesús por nosotros en la cruz. El Adviento es el tiempo favorable para emprender un cambio del corazón y para dar un nuevo y decisivo paso en nuestro caminar espiritual, es conversión como preparación por la espera de Jesús. P. Jairo
Los verdaderos regalos para esta Navidad He aquí una lista de buenos regalos para dar en esta Navidad y que además no cuestan nada: 1. El regalo de escuchar: ¡Pero realmente escuchar, sin interrumpir, bostezar o criticar...! Sólo escuchar. 2. El regalo del cariño: Ser generoso con besos, abrazos, palmadas (sinceras) en la espalda y apretones de manos...; estas pequeñas acciones demuestran el cariño por tu familia y amigos. 9|
813-885-7861
3. El regalo de la sonrisa: Llena tu vida de imágenes con sonrisas, dibujos, caricaturas y tu regalo dirá: ‘Me gusta reír contigo’. 4. El regalo de las notas escritas: Puede ser un simple ‘gracias por ayudarme’. Un detalle como estos puede ser recordado de por vida y, tal vez, cambiarla incluso. 5. El regalo de un cumplido: Un simple y sincero ‘has hecho un gran trabajo’, eres muy importante para mí, ‘fue una estupenda comida’... puede hacer especial un día. 6. El regalo del favor: Todos los días procura hacer un favor. 7. El regalo de la soledad: Hay días en que no hay nada mejor que estar solo. Sé sensible a aquellos días, y da este regalo o solicítalo a los demás. 8. El regalo de la disposición a la gratitud: La forma más fácil de hacer sentir bien a la gente es decirle cosas que no son difíciles de decir, como ‘hola’ y ‘muchas gracias’. 9. El primer regalo, la amistad. 10. Piensa en otros regalos que no cuestan y que puedas realizar y dar. ***************************************************
