At 5:00am on a chilly Saturday morning on Dec. 11th about 300 parishioners came together for a celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Gathered in front of our church everyone entered in a procession led by children holding up Our Lady of Guadalupe. Mariachis (musicians) led everyone in songs honoring our Blessed Mother. The Rosary was prayed and Fr. Diego gave a short homily. Afterwards, tamales, hot chocolate & champurrado (beverage), typical Mexican treats, were enjoyed by all in St. Michael’s Hall. The evening events included a procession from the Prayer Garden to the church while praying the rosary and concluded with a lively celebration of the Mass. Thank you to our Spanish Community who made this possible!

WE ARE A SACRIFICIAL GIVING PARISH “The Lord’s are the earth and its fullness; the world and those who dwell in it. For he founded it upon the sea and established it upon the rivers.” Psalm 24:1-2 How can we take credit for the good things in our lives when Psalm 24 reminds us that God created absolutely everything and everyone on earth? Surely we all have an obligation to return a portion of our good fortune to the Lord, for without Him nothing would be possible.

Fourth Sunday of Advent December 19, 2010 TRUST IN GOD On this final Sunday of Advent our scriptures focus on the historical birth of Jesus, who is son of David and Son of God, child and king, Jesus and Emmanuel. Isaiah the prophet begs Ahaz to ask for a sign, to allow God to offer him reassurance of the survival of the Davidic dynasty. The king hypocritically refuses to “tempt the LORD” in that way (Isaiah 7:12), but the prophet foretells the birth of a son, an heir to the throne, who will prove the Lord’s enduring protection of God’s chosen lineage on the throne of David. The child will be called Emmanuel. Matthew’s reference to this history in his description of the birth of Jesus highlights the contrast between the faithless refusal of trust shown by Ahaz, and the complete trust in God shown by Mary and Joseph in bringing about the birth of Jesus Christ. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

FEAST OF FAITH Gathering When Pope Benedict XVI visited the United States in 2008, tens of thousands gathered in Yankee Stadium to celebrate the Eucharist with him. What made them different from all the other excited crowds who have assembled there through the years? When they began to sing together, to listen together, to pray together, they ceased to be a crowd, and became a liturgical assembly. It was not where they were but what they did that set them apart. The Gospels speak of many instances when Jesus prayed alone to his Father. But Jesus also put a special value on communal prayer. “Where two or three are gathered together in my name,” he told his disciples, “there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). Jesus gave his own mission to his followers, sending them forth to do everything he did: to heal, to teach, to proclaim the kingdom. Jesus wants us to meet God in and through each other. So the Christian community continues to gather, Sunday after Sunday. When we get up on Sunday morning and come to Mass, we respond to Jesus’ invitation, and we express our trust in his promise that whenever we come together, he comes, too. —Corinna Laughlin, © Copyright, J.

PILDORITAS DE FE DEL PADRE DIEGO Ven Señor Jesús: Necesito tu salvación. Me reconozco pecador ante ti y me arrepiento. Te abro la puerta de mi corazón y de mi vida. Te acepto personalmente como mi Salvador. Concédeme experimentar tu amor, tu salvación, tu liberación: dame tu vida en abundancia, límpiame, purifícame, libérame, renuévame. Entra en mi corazón y en mi vida y llénala de ti. Haz de mí lo que quieres que sea. Espíritu Santo, cámbiame el corazón y hazme experimentar un nuevo nacimiento para una vida nueva. María mi buena madre, que como Jesús reciba yo vida de tu seno maternal. Después de acoger a Cristo en tu vida ¿Qué hay que hacer? Permanecer en Jesús y creer en Él. Reavivar el don del Espíritu Santo. Redescubrir tu Iglesia, conocerla, y mantenerte fiel. Integrarte a tu Parroquia para comenzar a vivir en comunidad. Leer y meditar diariamente la palabra de Dios. Redescubrir los sacramentos, su sentido y su gracia. Acudir a la reconciliación y volver a dar gracias a Dios en la Eucaristía. Ir a dar testimonio de lo que el Señor está haciendo en tu vida. Mostrar a todos que Jesucristo te está salvando.
Todos están invitados a traer regalos y depositarlos delante del Niño Jesús durante el momento de la ofrenda, el domingo 2 de enero, Fiesta de la Epifania.- Sugerimos los siguientes regalos: pañales, ropa para bebé, sabanas para cunas, polvo, jabón, loción, etc.Estas donaciones serán entregadas a Caridades Católicas -Gracias por su generosidad.

Estos sobres del Ramillete Espiritual de Navidad están en la entrada de la iglesia y en los bancos. También están disponibles en la Oficina Parroquial durante la semana.
FIESTA DE LA FE Pedimos perdón Como el amor de Dios es algo tan obvio, es posible que nos resulte un poco difícil explicarlo. Resulta aun más difícil explicarlo cuando en nuestra vida no nos hemos sentido amados por Dios, así como somos, en nuestra humanidad más plena. Si el amor es lo único que basta, si sólo Dios basta, como escribió santa Teresa, ¿cómo es que ese amor no nos llega? Pues sí nos llega, a todos y todas, lo que muchas veces sucede es que no siempre estamos abiertos a ese amor, en cierta forma, nos negamos a él, o bien, no respondemos a ese amor tan grande que recibimos de Dios. Por eso pedimos perdón durante la celebración de la Misa, porque no hemos amado a Dios como él nos amó; porque no hemos seguido su mandato de amar al prójimo como a nosotros mismos; porque no hemos caminado humildemente ante su presencia y tampoco hemos vivido la justicia. Porque no hemos dejado todo para seguirlo. Le pedimos perdón mediante el Acto Penitencial, el Señor ten piedad o durante la Pascua, con la aspersión del agua bendita. Experimentamos así la gran misericordia de Dios, cuyo amor por nosotros es ilimitado.—Miguel Arias, © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
