Page 3 SPEAK, LORD, WE ARE LISTENING
FEAST OF FAITH The Greeting
At several points during the liturgy, the presider greets us with the words, “The Lord be with you.” These simple words are not like the greetings that we exchange all day long—our “good mornings,” our “hellos” and
“how are yous.” This liturgical greeting has roots deep in the Old Testament. In the book of Ruth, the words “the Lord be with you” are spoken by Boaz to the harvesters who are laboring in his fields (2:4); in the book of Judg-es, an angel speaks similar words to Gideon (6:12), where they are words of promise: for soon Gideon will lead his oppressed people to victory and freedom. For us, the words become a greeting of peace, a prayer that the
Lord will indeed be with us, and a reminder of his promise to be with us always, to the end of the world (Matthew 28:20). Our response—“And also with you,” soon to be “And with your spirit”—returns to the presid-
er this prayer for the Lord’s presence. As we know from the scriptures, a prayer for the Lord’s presence is no small thing, for when God comes in our midst, God brings healing, grace, and challenge. God’s presence trans-
forms us.

In today’s first reading God keeps calling out in the night to a sleeping boy. Neither the boy, Samuel, nor his teacher, Eli, understands who is calling. But God’s persistence convinces them. Samuel is then ready—
not ready yet to do anything, but ready to listen. “Speak, for your servant is listening” (1 Samuel 3:10). In the Gospel Jesus is out teaching. Various people notice him and begin to gather around. They soon
become disciples and, like the young Samuel, are ready—not ready yet to do anything, but ready to listen. “Speak,” they say, “we are listening.”
God’s voice is always with us, awake or asleep. It swirls around us like fog on a waterfront, enveloping us, gently urging us to wake up, to listen. Awareness of the voice comes first; then willingness to listen; then, in time, the decision to act, to live according to God’s word. Let’s ask today for the ability to keep our ears open so we don’t
miss God’s voice. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

When: Every Sunday in December at 8:00pm-9pm Where: Online Joining info: Join with Google Meet meet.google.com/chc-ttfi-tgr During difficult times our faith tells us that we need to come to-gether in prayer and pray to our Blessed Lord as one people. In accordance with that tradition, I would like to invite everyone to come and share in the Prayer of the Gospels with us online every Sunday evening at 8:00pm. We will also include the litany in response to abortion. This prayer can be accessed with the follow-ing link: www.priestsforlife.org/prayers/litanyinresponsetoabortion.aspx Leo Tolstoy said "Give me faith, Lord, and let me help others find it." KofC Auburn Council 6149 would like to offer this rosary public-ly to help others find their faith and come together in common prayer. The rosary is our expression of faith, and we would like to offer this as a service to the Christian com-munity and to those of like mind to come together and pray for the common good. We are open to questions, comments and feedback in an attempt to make this a more spirituality fulfilling experience. Comments can be addressed to me at [email protected]. "If I had an army to say the Rosary, I could conquer the world." Blessed Pope Piux IX
I hope to see everyone there. In Christo,

con autoridad del llamado a servir a los necesitados este año?

HABLA, SEÑOR, ESTAMOS ESCUCHANDO
LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA
FIESTA DE LA FE Del cumplimiento a la espiritualidad
En la primera lectura de hoy Dios llama repetidas veces en la noche a un niño dormido. Ni el niño, Samuel, ni su maestro, Elí, entienden quién está llamando. Pero la persistencia de Dios los convence. Samuel ya está listo; no para hacer algo todavía, pero dispuestos a escuchar. “Habla Señor, tu siervo te esccha” (1 Samuel 3:10) En el Evangelio, Jesús está afuera enseñando. Varias personas lo ven y comienzan a reunirse alrededor. Pronto se
convierten en discípulos y, al igual que el joven Samuel, están listos, no para hacer algo todavía, pero dispuestos a escuchar. “Habla”, dicen, “te escuchamos”.
La voz de Dios está siempre con nosotros, ya sea que estemos despiertos o dormidos. Se arremolina a nuestro alrededor como la niebla en una costa envolviéndonos, suavemente nos urge a despertar, a escuchar. Estar conscientes de la
voz es lo primero; luego la voluntad de escuchar; y más luego, con el tiempo, la decisión de actuar, de vivir según la Palabra de Dios. Vamos a pedir hoy por la capacidad de mantener los oídos abiertos para que no se pierda la voz de Dios.

La Eucaristía dominical ha de ser más que un mero cumplimiento de uno de los mandamientos de la santa madre Iglesia. La participación plena, consciente y activa en la celebración litúrgica supone ser un punto no negociable en la vida de los cristianos. No es del mero cumplimiento del precepto donde obtenemos lo necesario para continuar nuestra vida (aunque puede darse), es más bien, de asumir en nuestra vida lo que implica celebrar la Eucaristía. Es, creo yo, ha-
cernos eco de la voz de los mártires del Norte de África que, ante la posibilidad del martirio y la experiencia de la tortu-ra a causa de su fe, fueron capaces de afirmar: “No podemos ser cristianos sin la Eucaristía”. Resulta obvio que la cele-bración es parte de esta cláusula, pero más allá está el atar la vida a ese misterio que se celebra; el transformar nuestra vida por la palabra proclamada, vivir con la frescura de tratarnos como hermanos y hermanas, hacernos pan para que
todos coman; trabajar por la justicia como una posibilidad que puede comenzar ahora mismo y que como resultado ten-drá la misericordia y la compasión hacia los demás. Si en realidad celebramos la plenitud del sacramento, domingo a
domingo, no podremos ser cristianos sin la Eucaristía, sin convertirnos en lo que celebramos. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SAINT VINCENT de PAUL
In the Gospel, we read that because Jesus spoke with authority his reputation spread throughout the surrounding region of Galilee. As his disciples, we can also speak with
authority when we put our faith into actions by helping the poor and suffering. How are you
going to answer the call to serve those in need this year? .... Don Wilford ...
