como tener una relación personal con el Señor y a establecer una atención emocional y unitiva

contigo mismo en la fe y en el amor. Comenzamos con los primeros pasos de la

oración, continuando con una gama variada de modalidades o distintas maneras de relacionarse con el Señor, hasta sumergirnos en los abismos

de la contemplación.

El Señor te invita a vivir esta experiencia que cambiará tu vida.

FROM THE DESK OF DEACON RICHARD

The Clergy & Staff at St. Thomas Cathedral wish

you all a Happy 2017.

May the peace & love of Jesus be with you throughout the

New Year.

ENTRADA Venid fieles todos, llenos de contento, venid presurosos, a Belén llegad.

Hoy a nacido el rey de los cielos.

Venid y adoremos (3) al rey de paz.

Ved como noche unos pastorcillos, dejando el ganado, vienen al portal; también nosotros, al recién nacido.

Al Verbo Divino, Esplendor del Padre, por nos hecho hombre, vamos adorar. Al rey del cielo, envuelto en pañales.

Por nosotros pobre, nace en un pesebre, Y sobre las pajas reclinado está. ¿Quién contemplarle podrá sin quererle?

SALMO

El Señor tenga piedad y nos bendiga.

OFERTORIO

Este ramito de flores frescas son de mi jardín, flores de muchos colores para el niño de Belén.

Tulipanes, nochebuenas, nardos, rosas en flor; crisantemos, azucenas y hojas verdes de limón.

Bella flor de nochebuena, en tu color de rubí veo en el calvario con pena, como sufrió Él por mí.

Blanca y hermosa gardenia, oh que fragante es tu olor, nos lleva a aquella mañana cuando el mundo renació.

El lirio azul con dorado, es como es viento y el sol, donde el niño está sentado y ángeles alrededor.

Se las pondré en un jarrito, en el pesebre a sus pies y que su aroma bonito lo haga soñar muy feliz.

COMUNIÓN Cuentan que Jesús nació allá en Belén de Judea, de una madre virgen pura, de una obediente doncella.

Cuentan que Jesús nació del amor y la pobreza, en un establo de pajas, arrullado por estrellas.

Gloria a Dios en las alturas y en la tierra paz cantamos, gloria al Señor de los pueblos, a nuestro Dios encarnado. (2)

Este Jesús es el Cristo que predicó en Galilea. Sanaba cualquier dolor y transformaba las penas. Este Jesús es el Cristo señalado por profetas; murió una vez en la cruz, vive por siempre en la iglesia.

El tesoro de la fe que en este tiempo anunciamos, es el Cristo de Belén, de Judea y del Calvario. Es el tesoro de fe que en la iglesia celebramos; en el Cristo de Belén descubrimos al hermano.

SALIDA Mientras recorres la vida tú nunca solo estás; contigo por el camino Santa María va.

Ven con nosotros al caminar, Santa María, ven. (2)

Aunque te digan alguno que nada puedes cambiar, lucha por un mundo nuevo, lucha por la verdad.

Si por el mundo los hombres sin conocerse van, no niegues nunca tu mano al que contigo está.

Aunque parezcan tus pasos inútil caminar, tú vas haciendo camino, otros los seguirán.
