“Take heed, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time
will come.” - Mark 13:33
We all take things for granted. In particular, we take time for
granted. We make our lives too busy. We plan our time, our days,
weeks, months, even years in advance. Remember, our time on earth
is a gift. None of us knows how long we will be here. Start today
and begin thanking God for each and every day. Take time in
silence, every day, and listen to how God is calling you right now
to help build His kingdom on earth. “Mirad, velad y orad; porque no
sabéis cuándo llegará el mo-mento". - MARCOS 13:33
Todos damos las cosas por sentado. En particular, damos el
tiempo por sentado. Tenemos nuestras vidas demasiado ocupa-das.
Planificamos nuestro tiempo, nuestros días, semanas, me-ses e
incluso años por adelantado. Recuerde, nuestro tiempo en la tierra
es un regalo. Ninguno de nosotros sabe cuánto tiempo estaremos
aquí. Empiece hoy y comience a agradecer a Dios por cada día.
Tómate un tiempo en silencio, todos los días, y escucha cómo Dios
te está llamando ahora mismo para ayudar a construir Su reino en la
tierra.

Notes from the Pastor: Today we begin the season of Advent.
Advent is a penitential season marked by the color violet. During
this time we prepare for the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. We
prepare by quieting our lives and reducing noise and distraction so
we can increase our prayer and sensitivity to Jesus' birth, the
light of life enter-ing the world. One of the best ways we can
prepare is by at-tending to the Sacrament of Reconciliation and
Penance. Dur-ing Advent, confession will be available in the St.
James church every Monday and Friday night from 6 pm to 8 pm.
Please use this time with your family to reconcile with God our
Father as we prepare to celebrate Christmas.
Blessings, Fr. Jason
Notas del pastor: Hoy comenzamos la temporada de Adviento. El
Adviento es una época penitencial marcada por el color violeta.
Durante este tiempo nos preparamos para el nacimiento de nuestro
Señor Jesucristo. Nos preparamos aquietando nuestras vidas y
reduciendo el ruido y las distracciones para que podamos aumentar
nuestra oración y sensibi-lidad al nacimiento de Jesús, la luz de
la vida que ingresa al mundo. Una de las mejores formas en las que
podemos prepararnos es asis-tiendo al Sacramento de la
Reconciliación y la Penitencia. Durante el Adviento, la confesión
estará disponible en la iglesia de St. James todos los Lunes y
Viernes por la noche de 6 pm a 8 pm. Por favor, utilice este tiempo
con su familia para reconciliarse con Dios nuestro Padre mientras
nos preparamos para celebrar la Navi-dad.
Bendiciones, P. Jason
Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come.

MARK’S JESUS Mark’s Gospel is the shortest and tersest of all
four. The discourses of Jesus tend to be terser as well. Mark’s
portrayal of Jesus has none of the poetry of the Sermon on the
Mount or the Sermon on the Plain as in Matthew or Luke, nor the
exten-sive, reflective “I Am” discourses as in John. Mark’s Jesus
“cuts to the chase,” we would say today. This is reflected quite
well in today’s passage. It is no accident that the dialogue of
Jesus at this point in the Gospel according to Mark—the concluding
words about the end of the world—immediately before his passion, is
rid-dled with exclamation points and an overall sense of urgency.
We would do well to re-tool our own way of living this Advent, for
we live in a world urgently in need of hearing the message of Jesus
proclaimed. It’s time for us to “wake up!” and get out into the
world to do it. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
EL JESÚS DE SAN MARCOS El Evangelio según San Marcos es el más
corto y terso de los cuatro. Los discursos de Jesús tienden a ser
concisos tam-bién. El retrato de Jesús que nos da Marcos no tiene
nada de la poesía del Sermón del Monte o del Sermón de la Llanura
co-mo en Mateo ni Lucas, ni la extensión y reflexión de los “Yo
Soy” los discursos en Juan. El Jesús de Marcos “va al grano”,
diríamos hoy. Esto se refleja muy bien en el pasaje de hoy. No es
una casualidad que el diálogo de Jesús en este mo-mento en el
Evangelio según San Marcos, las palabras finales sobre el fin del
mundo, inmediatamente antes de su pasión, esté plagado de signos de
exclamación y una sensación gene-ral de urgencia. Haríamos bien en
remodelar nuestra manera de vivir este Adviento, ya que vivimos en
un mundo con necesidad urgente de escuchar el mensaje que Jesús
proclamó. Es hora de que nos “despertemos” y salgamos al mundo para
hacerlo. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
