ADVENT: ACTIVE WAITING
With the first Sunday of Advent, we begin a new liturgical year. The word
“Advent” comes from the Latin word “adventus”, which means “arrival”, “coming”. If we
expect someone to arrive, to come – we wait in anticipation. For some reason, as I was
preparing myself for Advent, the word “wait” kept popping into my head. Last year during this time of
the year, I did a little survey among close friends and family and asked them one question: What are you
waiting for right now with great anticipation? To my surprise, I got many responses: I am waiting for
my promotion in my job. I am waiting for my chemotherapy to be over. I am waiting for my husband to
come home from the military. I am waiting for my children to visit for Christmas. I am waiting for our
new baby. I am waiting for my job interview. I am waiting for someone to marry me, to which I
responded, “you have a priest already here!, call me if you find someone or someone finds you.” But,
two people also said “I’m not waiting for anything.”
What about you? What are you waiting for with great anticipation at this moment of your life?
And, where does God fit in this waiting, or is he even part of the picture?
Why wait for God to arrive or to come in to our lives if St. Augustine says that God is closer to
us than we are to ourselves? Does God ever leave us? It’s not God who leaves, but it’s us who
sometimes leave God and wander around. The season of Advent is not just about waiting for God
passively to come again in our lives anew, but it’s also a time to actively find our way back to him so
that we can arrive once again to his loving embrace. As the psalmist says, “Lord, make us turn to you;
let us see your face and we shall be saved.” So, let our Advent today be a two-way process: In as much
as we wait for God, let us also seek ways to arrive to him. And how do we arrive at him? By entering
into the life that he invites us. Many of us might say, “well I’m here every Sunday, so I can say that I
have arrived already at God-zone.” We don’t have to necessarily leave home in order to be away or to
wander around. I know people who feel so far away from their spouse even though they sleep in one bed
every night and they see each other every day. And, just like that, one can also go through the routine of
Sunday obligation and faith life and still feel so disconnected from God because of the choices that we
make and the lifestyle that one chooses to embrace. Let us make this Advent our best Advent possible,
by heeding what the collect/opening prayer today said. The opening prayer just beautifully sums up our
Advent disposition — let’s hear it again: “Grant your faithful, we pray, almighty God, the resolve to run
forth to meet your Christ with righteous deed at his coming, so that gathered at his right hand, they may
be worthy to possess the heavenly kingdom.” Our disposition for this Advent as what we heard is “to
have the resolve to run forth to meet Christ with righteous deed at his coming.” To run, not just to walk.
There’s a sense of urgency and earnestness. What are those things that I find myself doing over and over
again, like a slave of them, that are not so righteous, thus hindering me to possess the heavenly
kingdom? – Fr. Cary
PASTOR’S CORNER

One of the most important images of Advent is light. Advent ends with the Gospel proclamation that includes
this portion of the Canticle of Zechariah: “The dawn from on high shall break upon us, to shine on those who
dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace” (Luke 1:78-79).
Advent ends with the breaking of the dawn, but it begins with the lighting of a tiny flame on a single purple
candle. As small and insignificant as this flame may appear in the darkness, it is full of hope. Anyone who has
ever climbed up the slopes of Mount Hood at one o’clock in the morning knows how important even the tiniest
flicker of light can be. You know you are on the right path. You know you are not alone. That’s what the first
Advent candle represents. It brings light of hope into a dark world. It is the reminder of a promise that has been
kept and will be kept again. We are not alone. Christ came into the world once and he will come into the world
again.
Una de las imágenes más importantes del Adviento es la luz. El advenimiento termina con la proclamación del
Evangelio que incluye esta parte del Cántico de Zacarías: “nos visitará el sol que nace de lo alto para iluminar
a los que moraran en la oscuridad y sombras de muerte, para guiar nuestros pasos por el camino de la
paz” (Lucas 1:78-79). El advenimiento termina con el amanecer, pero comienza con la iluminación de una
pequeña llama en una sola vela morada. Tan pequeña e insignificante como esta llama puede aparecer en la
oscuridad, está llena de esperanza. Cualquiera que haya subido las laderas del Monte Hood a la una de la
madrugada sabe lo importante que puede ser incluso el más mínimo destello de luz. Sabes que estás en el
camino correcto. Sabes que no estás solo. Eso es lo que representa la primera vela de Adviento. Trae la luz de
esperanza a un mundo oscuro. Es el recordatorio de una promesa que se ha mantenido y se mantendrá
nuevamente. No estamos solos. Cristo vino al mundo una vez y vendrá al mundo otra vez.
-Fr. Brent Crowe
TAKE A TAG, BRING JOY TO A FAMILY
All those colored tags hanging from the St. Cecilia Giving
Swag represent hope and joy to hundreds of children and
adults who may be expecting a bleak Christmas. Each tag
contains a gift request collected from clients of our parish’s
Social Concerns Ministry and St. Vincent de Paul ministries.
Please take a tag or two and make Christmas bright for others.
Hints on Wrapping these Special Presents
Please wrap these gifts with the care you would take if you
knew this was the only gift the person will get this Christmas.
That may be the case. Those colored tags must be attached to
gifts to help the volunteers sort them. But those tags will be
removed and replaced by a traditional name tag. So tie
them to the ribbon or tape the yarn under the bow, but please
DO NOT tape them so that volunteers have to rip the paper to
remove them.
Please Return the Gifts No Later than December 9
Volunteers will sort and bag the gifts on Monday, Dec. 10.
Any missing gifts must be purchased by Social Concerns and
St. Vincent de Paul. Please return your gifts to the Parish
Center.
Volunteers Needed for Gift Sorting & Christmas Deliveries
(School Parents Can Earn SHARE Hours)
Here’s an opportunity to add joy to your Christmas season.
Volunteer to organize or deliver food and gifts to families
struggling to make ends meet this holiday. St. Vincent de Paul
needs help sorting, buying and wrapping presents and
additional drivers to deliver Christmas gifts and food boxes.
We need volunteers to sort the gifts Monday – Wednesday,
December 10-12. We also need volunteers to make
reminder calls to recipients that week.
Deliveries happen on Saturday, December 15 from 9 am till
about noon. Come enjoy coffee and treats and get your
maps and delivery instructions. It’s easy, well organized and
promises to be the most fun you’ll have this Christmas season.

church and the West annex door
Needed This Week
CANNED YAMS; OLIVES;
CRANBERRY SAUCE
As we begin Advent, we are called to “wait” in
joyful anticipation for the grace of Christmas to once
again bless our lives. Wherever you live in our
parish, there are poor families within walking
distance of your home. When in need, they ring
St. Vincent de Paul’s bell. They are, in effect,
ringing your doorbell.
Your gift in the St. Vincent de Paul barrel will
help the poor celebrate the grace of God’s love
this Christmas.

JÓVENES
Estamos juntando personas en la comunidad que
sientan EL DESEO Y EL LLAMADO DEL SEÑOR
para trabajar con los jóvenes de Santa Cecilia.
La primera reunión de este grupo será ESTE
DOMINGO, 2 de diciembre, en la oficina parroquial a
las 4:30 PM.
Esta semana: SAN FRANCISCO JAVIER y SAN
AMBROSIO
San Francisco Javier, gran evangelizador del siglo 16
en el oriente, español, fue uno de los primeros
sacerdotes JESUITAS, orden fundada por San Ignacio
de Loyola. Al poco tiempo de ordenación, Ignacio lo
mandó a INDIA, donde laboró como misionero entre la
gente por varios años. Intentó extender la fe en
JAPÓN, pero encontró muchísima resistencia, e
incluso persecución, especialmente entre los maestros
budistas y líderes civiles. San Francisco murió de una
fiebre fuerte, mientras esperaba el barco que lo
llevaría a evangelizar en CHINA.
SAN AMBROSIO, famosísimo obispo y doctor de la
Iglesia del siglo 4 en Milán, Italia, defendió las
enseñanzas apostólicas de la Iglesia contra los
poderosos y numerosos seguidores de Ario de su
tiempo. Tuvo una influencia grande e importantísima
en SAN AGUSTÍN, y fue instrumental en su
conversión. Además de ser un extraordinario teólogo
y maestro, San Ambrosio tuvo un impacto muy
positivo en la LITURGIA y la composición de himnos
y música para celebraciones litúrgicas.
MENSAJE MARIANO
“¡Queridos hijos! Les traigo al Rey de la Paz, para
que Él les dé su paz. Ustedes, hijitos, oren, oren, oren.
El fruto de la oración se podrá ver en los rostros de las
personas que se han decidido por Dios y su Reino. Yo,
con mi Hijo Jesús, los bendigo a todos con la bendición
de la paz. ¡Gracias por haber respondido a mi
llamado!” Diciembre 25, 2013.

FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT ~ DECEMBER 2, 2018
FIRST READING ~ JEREMIAH 33:14-16
The days are coming, says the LORD, when I will fulfill the promise I made to the
house of Israel and Judah. In those days, in that time, I will raise up for David a
just shoot ; he shall do what is right and just in the land. In those days Judah shall
be safe and Jerusalem shall dwell secure; this is what they shall call her: “The
LORD our justice.”
RESPONSORIAL PSALM ~ PSALM 25:4-5, 8-9, 10, 14
To you, O Lord, I lift my soul.
SECOND READING ~ 1 THESSALONIANS 3:12—4:2
Brothers and sisters: May the Lord make you increase and abound in love for one
another and for all, just as we have for you, so as to strengthen your hearts, to be
blameless in holiness before our God and Father at the coming of our Lord Jesus
with all his holy ones. Amen.
Finally, brothers and sisters, we earnestly ask and exhort you in the Lord Jesus
that, as you received from us how you should conduct yourselves to please God
and as you are conducting yourselves you do so even more. For you know what
instructions we gave you through the Lord Jesus.
GOSPEL ~ LUKE 21:25-28, 34-36
Jesus said to his disciples: “There will be signs in the sun, the moon, and the
stars, and on earth nations will be in dismay, perplexed by the roaring of the sea
and the waves. People will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the
world, for the powers of the heavens will be shaken. And then they will see the
Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory. But when these signs
begin to happen, stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at
hand.
“Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness
and the anxieties of daily life, and that day catch you by surprise like a trap. For
that day will assault everyone who lives on the face of the earth. Be vigilant at all
times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are
imminent and to stand before the Son of Man.”

I DOMINGO DE ADVIENTO ~ 2 DE DICIEMBRE 2018
GLORIA
Gloria a Dios en el cielo, y en la tierra paz a los hombres que ama el Señor. Por tu inmensa gloria te alabamos,
te bendecimos, te adoramos, te glorificamos, te damos gracias, Señor Dios, Rey celestial, Dios Padre
todopoderoso Señor, Hijo único, Jesucristo.Señor Dios, Cordero de Dios, Hijo del Padre; tú que quitas el
pecado del mundo, ten piedad de nosotros; tú que quitas el pecado del mundo, atiende nuestra súplica; tú que
estás sentado a la derecha del Padre, ten piedad de nosotros; porque sólo tú eres Santo, sólo tú Señor, sólo tú
Altísimo, Jesucristo, con el Espíritu Santo en la gloria de Dios Padre. Amen.
PRIMERA LECTURA ~ JEREMÍAS 33, 14-16
"Se acercan los días, dice el Señor, en que cumpliré la promesa que hice a la casa de Israel y a la casa de Judá.
En aquellos días y en aquella hora, yo haré nacer del tronco de David un vástago santo, que ejercerá la justicia
y el derecho en la tierra. Entonces Judá estará a salvo, Jerusalén estará segura y la llamarán 'el Señor es
nuestra justicia' ".
SALMO RESPONSORIAL ~ SALMO 24, 4bc-5ab. 8-9. 10 y 14
Descúbrenos, Señor, tus caminos.
SEGUNDA LECTURA ~ 1 TESALONICENSES 3, 12–4, 2
Hermanos: Que el Señor los llene y los haga rebosar de un amor mutuo y hacia todos los demás, como el que
yo les tengo a ustedes, para que él conserve sus corazones irreprochables en la santidad ante Dios, nuestro
Padre, hasta el día en que venga nuestro Señor Jesús, en compañía de todos sus santos.
Por lo demás, hermanos, les rogamos y los exhortamos en el nombre del Señor Jesús a que vivan como
conviene, para agradar a Dios, según aprendieron de nosotros, a fin de que sigan ustedes progresando. Ya
conocen, en efecto, las instrucciones que les hemos dado de parte del Señor Jesús.
EVANGELIO ~ LUCAS 21, 25-28. 34-36
En aquel tiempo, Jesús dijo a sus discípulos: "Habrá señales prodigiosas en el sol, en la luna y en las estrellas.
En la tierra, las naciones se llenarán de angustia y de miedo por el estruendo de las olas del mar; la gente se
morirá de terror y de angustiosa espera por las cosas que vendrán sobre el mundo, pues hasta las estrellas se
bambolearán. Entonces verán venir al Hijo del hombre en una nube, con gran poder y majestad.
Cuando estas cosas comiencen a suceder, pongan atención y levanten la cabeza, porque se acerca la hora de su
liberación. Estén alerta, para que los vicios, con el libertinaje, la embriaguez y las preocupaciones de esta vida
no entorpezcan su mente y aquel día los sorprenda desprevenidos; porque caerá de repente como una trampa
sobre todos los habitantes de la tierra.
Velen, pues, y hagan oración continuamente, para que puedan escapar de todo lo que ha de suceder y
comparecer seguros ante el Hijo del hombre.
ORACIÓN A SAN MIGUEL ARCÁNGEL
San Miguel Arcángel, defiéndenos en la batalla. Sé nuestro amparo contra las perversidades y asechanzas del
demonio.
Reprímale Dios, pedimos suplicantes, y tú, príncipe de la milicia celestial, arroja al infierno con el divino
poder a Satanás y a los otros espíritus malignos que andan dispersos por el mundo para la perdición de las
almas. AMEN.

Levántate
Estribillo
Levántate que está llegando.
El Señor viene ya. (bis)
1. Nos traerá su resplandor,
nos traerá la luz, la paz. (bis)
2. En el Señor confiaré.
Él nos dará la salvación. (bis)
3. Al mismo Dios recibiré.
En mi interior se sembrará. (bis)
4. Lo prometió, lo cumplirá.
El Dios de amor nos salvará. (bis)

Madre de la Iglesia
Estribillo
Ruega por nosotros,
Madre de la Iglesia,
Virgen del Adviento,
esperanza nuestra.
De Jesús la aurora,
del cielo la puerta,
ruega por nosotros,
Madre de la Iglesia.
1. Madre de los pueblos,
de la mar estrella,
llévanos a Cristo,
danos sus promesas.
Eres, Virgen Madre,
de la gracia llena,
del Señor la esclava,
del mundo la Reina.
2. Alza nuestros ojos
hacia tu belleza,
guía nuestros pasos
a la vida eterna.
Virgen del Adviento,
esperanza nuestra,
llévanos a Cristo,
danos sus promesas.
