Making Those Funeral Arrangements Planning or even thinking about one’s own funeral is unpleas-ant and therefore something we tend to push far out of our minds. When the time finally comes it leaves the family stressed and overwhelmed by all the decisions they must make. You can relieve some of this stress for your loved ones by planning your Funeral Liturgy (Mass of Christian Burial). Lynn Berhalter would like to assist you in choosing the Scriptures to be read at your funeral Mass according to the archdiocesan guidelines. She can also help you choose the hymns that will add to the solemni-ty of your Mass. This is simple to do and it helps fulfill your wishes and eases your family’s burden. Make an appointment to see Lynn at the rectory to get started. Your plans will be kept on file at Holy Trinity Church and may be amended anytime you wish. Planning ahead ensures your family that the readings and music you desired are carried out and they need not worry. It is a beautiful final gesture, a gift to those who grieve. Call 201-343-5170 now and make your ap-pointment.

W M E Marriage Enrichment: Jesus wants you to see more clearly the blessings of your sacrament of matrimony. The Worldwide Mar-riage Encounter Weekend helps you to see God’s plan for your marriage.

IN THE COMMUNITY EN LA COMUNIDAD

CHRISTMAS A young mother, her eyes shining with fatigue, who is arranging her hair; a father who finds himself alone with his pretty wife and baby, straightening the stable to make himself useful in some way; shepherds who bring cheese and perhaps also some curdled milk; sheep who look at their shepherds while bleating; a donkey who is eyeing his manger changed into a cra-dle; an adorable swaddled baby whom one calls Savior, Christ and Lord: This is the manifestation of the goodness and the ten-derness of God. This is the most fantastic birth in the history of humanity, the one which changed the face of the world! This is how far God humbled and compromised himself with us! This is Emmanuel! —From God’s Word Is Our Joy, Vol. 1 by Lucien Deiss, CSSp, copyright © 1998, World Library Publications.

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 dyn-asty. 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.

SAINT STEPHEN (first century) December 26 “A man filled with faith and the Holy Spirit” (Acts 6:5): thus Luke introduces Stephen, first of seven deacons cho-sen by the community for its ministry of charity, first to lay down his life in witness to Christ. As the church’s first martyr, Stephen’s life and death mirror the preaching and passion of Jesus, “the faithful witness” (Greek, martyr) (Revelation 1:5). Like Jesus, Stephen works “great signs and wonders among the people” (Acts 6:8). Like Jesus, when falsely accused, Stephen’s face radiates angelic serenity (Acts 6:15), though his tongue, like Jesus’, is a two-edged sword. As the dying Jesus forgave his executioners, even making excuses for them, then commended his spirit into his Father’s hands (Luke 23:34, 46), so Stephen intercedes for his murderers and begs Jesus to receive his spirit (Acts 7:60, 59). How fruitful both passions! The penitent thief inherits Paradise; Saul, who consented to Stephen’s killing, is transformed into the fearless preacher Paul. Thus Stephen chal-lenges us to bear witness not in words only, but by Christ-like forgiveness toward all.

La Novena de Navidad Nos acercamos ya en este tiempo de Adviento en el nacimiento de nuestro Señor Jesucristo salvador y redentor del mundo entero. La Parroquia de Holy Trinity cordialmente les invitamos a que vengan a compartir con nosotros con hijos y familiares, para estar vigilantes y con mucha alegría en la novena para esperar la Navidad. Los Horarios son los siguientes:

La Novena Comienza el Lunes 16 de diciembre de 2019 en

el Basement (sótano) de la iglesia:

el Lunes 23 y el Martes 24 6:00 pm

SAN ESTEBAN (Siglo I) 26 de diciembre El libro de los Hechos de los Apóstoles describe a Esteban, uno de los primeros siete diáconos de la Iglesia naciente, como un hombre “lleno de fe y del Espíritu Santo”. Como diácono, según lo pedido por la comunidad, se dedicó al cuidado de los huérfanos y de las viudas. Además de eso, se dedicó a predicar la salvación por medio de Jesucristo. Su predicación incomodó a algunos líderes religiosos quienes sobornaron a otras personas para que declararan que Esteban había blasfemado contra Moi-sés, pero no fue así. Sin embargo, Esteban les recordó que Dios no sólo estaba en el Templo de Jerusalén y además les reprochó su incumplimiento de la ley y el rechazo al mensaje de Jesús. Esto les molestó mucho y “Esteban les dijo que veía los cielos abiertos y al Hijo del hombre de pie a la derecha de Dios”. Lle-nos de rabia se lanzaron contra él, lo sacaron de la ciudad y lo apedrearon hasta matarlo. Mientras agonizaba, oraba así: “Señor Jesús, recibe mi espíritu”. San Esteban es el protomártir de la Iglesia.

—Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. SEÑOR DE TODOS Jesucristo será Señor de todos o no será Señor.

—San Agustín VEN, SEÑOR Ven, Señor, a salvarnos, ven a dar libertad. Abre, Señor, nuestros ojos, trae luz a la oscuridad. Eres la luz del mundo que ilumina el caminar. Muéstranos el camino por el desierto hacia la paz.

—Pedro Rubalcava, © 1994, World Library Publications

CONFIANZA EN DIOS En este último domingo de Adviento las lecturas se enfocan en el nacimiento histórico de Jesús: el hijo de David e Hijo de Dios, niño y rey, Jesús y Emmanuel. El profeta Isaías le suplica a Ajaz que pida una señal, para per-mitir a Dios que le asegure la sobrevivencia de la dinastía de David. El rey hipócrita rehúsa “tentar al SEÑOR” de esa manera (Isaías 7:12), pero el profeta predice el nacimiento de un hijo, un heredero al trono, quien probará la duradera protección divina del linaje ele-gido del trono de David. El niño será llamado Emmanuel. Mateo se refiere a esta historia en su descripción de los puntos principales del nacimiento de Jesús que contrasta a Ajaz quien rehú-sa confiar por falta de fe, y la completa confianza en Dios que Ma-ría y José demostraron al cooperar con el nacimiento de Jesucristo.

José, que pertenecía a la fa-milia de David, salió de Nazaret, ciudad de Galilea, y se dirigió a Be-lén de Judea, la ciudad de David, para inscribirse con María, su es-posa, que estaba embarazada (Lucas 2:4-5).
