Catholic population lives in Latin America, the Church in the region

of a better life. These tensions can contribute to the destabilization

of families and faith communities. You can keep faith through your

pastoral work that engages parishioners and fosters the faith.

The collection for the Church in Latin America will be taken up in

of Eucharist participation for each day. However, whenever January 1, the

Solemnity of Mary, Mother of God, or August 15, the Solemnity of the

Assumption, or November 1, the Solemnity of All Saints, falls on a

Saturday or on a Monday, the precept to attend Mass is abrogated (NCCB,

1/17/92. Congregation for Bishops, 7/4/92). While the Holy Day Of

Obligation is automatically abrogated on these days, the liturgy of the feast

THIRD SUNDAY OF ADVENT

Domingo 17 de diciembre de 2017

3er. Domingo de Adviento Isaías 61,1-2a.10-11: Desbordo de gozo con el Señor

Interleccional: Lucas 1,46-54: Me alegro con mi Dios

1 Tesalonicenses 5,16-24: El Dios de la paz los santifique

Juan 1,6-8.19-28: En medio de ustedes hay uno que no

conocen En esta tercera semana de Adviento la Iglesia, haciendo

eco de la exhortación del apóstol Pablo, quiere despertar en todos

sus hijos sentimientos de profunda alegría: «¡Estén siempre

alegres!» (1Tes 5,16)

La causa de esta alegría es la conciencia de que «el Señor

está cerca». Sí, la razón de la alegría que debe inundar hoy y cada

día a los cristianos es la certeza de que el Señor “está cerca”, es

decir, que se ha acercado a nosotros de una manera inaudita, que

en Jesucristo se ha hecho hombre por amor a nosotros, y que el

mismo que murió en la Cruz para reconciliarnos, resucitó al

tercer día y subió a los Cielos, volverá con gloria y poder al final

de los tiempos. Esa esperanza, la esperanza de que Cristo

cumplirá sus promesas y nos hará partícipes de su mismo triunfo

sobre el pecado y la muerte, es la que debe nutrir cada día nuestra

alegría y gozo, aún en medio de las situaciones más duras o

dolorosas por las que podamos atravesar algún día o estemos

atravesando actualmente.

Más para que esta alegría nos inunde, permanezca siempre

en nosotros y se irradie a los demás no basta con tomar

conciencia de que Dios se ha acercado a nosotros haciéndose uno

como nosotros, y que vendrá con gloria al final de los tiempos:

es necesario también que cada cual salga a su encuentro para

acogerlo en “su casa”, en lo íntimo de su ser, que cada cual se

deje iluminar y trasformar por Cristo en el hoy de su existencia.

¡Qué importante es dejarnos “alcanzar” e iluminar por

Cristo! Es de esta Luz de la que vino a dar testimonio Juan el

Bautista: Jesucristo, el Hijo del Padre, Dios y hombre perfecto,

es «la luz verdadera que ilumina a todo hombre que viene a este

mundo» (Jn 1,9). Sólo en Cristo «se aclara verdaderamente el

misterio del hombre», sólo Él «manifiesta plenamente el hombre

al propio hombre y le descubre su altísima vocación» (Gaudium

et spes, 22). Sólo iluminados por Él podemos responder

plenamente a la pregunta dirigida entonces al Bautista, dirigida

hoy también a cada uno de nosotros: Y tú, ¿quién eres? ¿Qué

dices tú de ti mismo, de ti misma?

Sólo quien responde adecuadamente a la pregunta sobre

su propia identidad puede comprender también cuál es su misión

en el mundo y puede así, con la fuerza del Señor, recorrer el

camino que conduce a su plena realización humana y aportar

decisivamente al cambio del mundo, a la construcción de una

Civilización del Amor.

Conoce su verdadera identidad quien conoce a Cristo. Se

realiza verdaderamente como hombre, como mujer, quien aprende de Cristo, quien se asemeja a Él por el amor, quien

modela su vida en quien es el Hombre perfecto, modelo y

maestro de auténtica y plena humanidad. ¿Quieres ser feliz?

¿Quieres encontrar la alegría plena (ver Jn 15,11) que nada ni

nadie pueda arrebatarte jamás (ver Jn 16,22)? Sólo en Él

podemos comprender plenamente el misterio insondable que

somos cada uno de nosotros, así como el camino que conduce a

nuestra realización como seres humanos, como personas, como

hombres o mujeres que somos. Si creces día a día en tu amoroso

conocimiento del Señor Jesús, si junto con ese conocimiento de

la identidad y persona de Jesucristo creces también en tu amor a

Él, ten la certeza de que también crecerás en un auténtico

conocimiento de ti mismo y que en ese conocimiento descubrirás la

inmensa grandeza de tu vida así como la grandiosa misión que Dios

en su amorosa providencia te tiene reservada.

Una vez conocida tu identidad y misión, fortalecido con la

gracia de Dios y perseverando siempre en la oración, esfuérzate día

a día en ser lo que estás llamado a ser. Entonces, aun cuando ello

signifique abrazarte a la cruz, conocerás lo que es la verdadera

alegría cristiana y humana, alegría de la que tú debes dar testimonio

a tantos en esta Navidad y más allá de esta Navidad, cada día de tu

vida. Al irradiar la alegría que nos viene de la presencia del Señor

en nosotros, muchos, que andan tan frustrados por no encontrar en

el mundo una alegría que sea duradera, se dirán a sí mismos: “¡yo

también quiero esa alegría para mí, esa alegría que veo en ti!” La

alegría que irradies puede arrastrar a muchos al encuentro con el

Señor, fuente y causa de nuestra alegría.

Así como el Bautista tú también estás llamado a preparar el

camino al Señor irradiando la alegría que es fruto del encuentro con

Cristo, de Él que viene a ti de diversos modos y de ti que te haces

sensible a su presencia, que lo acoges, que escuchas lo que te dice y

lo pones por obra. Con esa alegría que procede del encuentro

cotidiano con el Señor, procura mostrarte siempre alegre en todo lo

que hagas. Con la colaboración de Evangelio Dominical

PARTICIPATING

IN A VOCATION-CROSS PROGRAM This program involves praying for all who generously share in Church ministry in particular, for priests, brothers, deacons and sisters. Hopefully this experience will motivate us to take seriously our vocation as members of the Body of Christ. The Spirit is calling men and women, and preparing boys and girls from our day school and CCE program to serve in the Church. May our prayer for vocations inspire all of us to listen attentively to the call of God’s Spirit and respond with generous hearts. HOW THE PROGRAM WORKS

Let us know your willingness to take a VOCATION CROSS home for one week and pray for vocations. QUESTIONS??? Call Sister Charline at 713-682-2242.
