How Do You See Christmas? The response to the responsorial psalms today says: “Lord, make us turn to you; let us see your face and we shall be saved.” Seeing is believing. Make no mistake about it; being able to see is extremely important in our relationship with God. We react positively, negatively, fearfully or peacefully to people or things we see. However, there are two kinds of seeing, namely seeing through the physical eyes and seeing through the eye of faith. The former is natural and the latter is supernatural and only possible through the grace of God. Spiritual sight or “faith” (Heb 11:1) is purely God’s gift. This is important because how well we celebrate Christmas depends on the eye with which we see it. If we see it with the natural eye, then we will be caught up in the physical activities of Christmas – all the stress and preoccupations of the material side of things. We will not pay attention to the spiritual activities leading up to Christmas - the readings at Mass, the parish mission, the penance service or taking time to reflect on the mystery of the incarnation, or the place of Jesus in our lives. On the other hand, if we see Christmas with the eye of faith, then our attitude will be completely different. We will approach our celebrations with joyful anticipation, we will listen attentively to the readings and homilies with the ear of our hearts, we will take time to pray and meditate on God’s love for us and his gift of salvation in Christ Jesus. If Christmas is a spiritual celebration for us, we will marvel at Mary’s faith and role in our salvation. We will not only honor her, but we will strive to imitate her faithfulness to God. So where are you at this point in your spiritual journey? With what eye do you see Christmas, the eye of the flesh or the eye of faith? How can the manner in which you celebrate express your spiritual understanding of Christmas? Remember, it’s never too late to get it right or to do the right thing. May this Christmas bring you and your family joy and peace, Amen. I wish you a very Merry Christmas!

¿Cómo ves la navidad?

La respuesta a los salmos responsoriales de hoy dice:

“Señor, haz que nos volvamos a ti; Veamos tu rostro y seremos salvos ".

Ver es creer. No se equivoquen al respecto; El poder ver es extremadamente importante en nuestra relación con Dios. Reaccionamos de manera positiva, negativa, temerosa o pacífica ante las personas o las cosas que vemos. Sin embargo, hay dos tipos de ver, a saber, ver a través de los ojos físicos y ver a través del ojo de la fe. Lo primero es natural y lo segundo es sobrenatural y solo es posible a través de la gracia de Dios. La vista espiritual o “fe” (Hebreos 11: 1) es puramente un don de Dios.

Esto es importante porque lo bien que celebramos la Navidad depende del ojo con el que la veamos. Si lo vemos con el ojo natural, nos veremos atrapados en las actividades físicas de Navidad, todo el estrés y las preocupaciones del lado material de las cosas. No prestaremos atención a las actividades espirituales que conducen a la Navidad: las lecturas en la Misa, la misión parroquial, el servicio de penitencia o el tiempo para reflexionar sobre el misterio de la encarnación o el lugar de Jesús en nuestras vidas.

Por otro lado, si vemos la Navidad con el ojo de la fe, nuestra actitud será completamente diferente. Nos acercaremos a nuestras celebraciones con gozosa anticipación, escucharemos atentamente las lecturas y las homilías con el oído de nuestros corazones, tomaremos tiempo para orar y meditar en el amor de Dios por nosotros y su don de salvación en Cristo Jesús. Si la Navidad es una celebración espiritual para nosotros, nos maravillaremos de la fe y el papel de María en nuestra salvación. No solo la honraremos, sino que nos esforzaremos por imitar su fidelidad a Dios.

Entonces, ¿dónde estás en este punto de tu viaje espiritual? ¿Con qué ojo ves la Navidad, el ojo de la carne o el ojo de la fe? ¿Cómo puede la manera en la que celebras expresar tu comprensión espiritual de la Navidad? Recuerde, nunca es demasiado tarde para hacerlo bien o para hacer lo correcto.

Que esta Navidad les traiga a usted y a su familia alegría y paz, Amén. Te deseo una muy feliz navidad!

YOUTH MINISTRY

MINISTERIO JUVENIL

T’was the night before the night before Christmas and all through the church all those who serve were scurrying, especially the priest! Its one of those years where Christmas is so close to a Sunday that it creates 3 days straight of special services that seem to be non stop. Thats right folks we go straight from the 4th Sunday of Advent into Christmas Eve this year. When this event happens I hear people constantly saying things like “oh we will just skip church Sunday since we are going Christmas Eve or Christmas Day”. Wrong! We tend to try and justify our decisions for church especially when, wait for it, we might have to go to church more than once a week! Believe or not, there are people besides priest who go to mass every day, its actually ok to go more than once a week. Now that you have now detected my sarcasm and are wondering what I’m trying to get at here it is, during Christmas week we go to mass on Sunday to celebrate the 4th Sunday of Advent and then again to celebrate Christmas. There is a purpose to go to both. The mass on the fourth Sunday of Advent is finishing our preparation for Christmas. It would be like someone taking driving classes and they skip the last one which is parallel parking and then go to take their driving test anyway. They are not properly prepared for that test just like we are not properly prepared for Christmas. So as we finish this fourth Sunday and look forward to Christmas we go forth prepared to celebrate Christmas and the Christmas season. There is so much beauty in the mass, don’t miss it! La noche anterior a la noche anterior a la Navidad y durante toda la iglesia, todos los que sirven se escabullían, ¡especialmente el sacerdote! Es uno de esos años en los que la Navidad está tan cerca de un domingo que crea 3 días seguidos de servicios especiales que parecen no tener fin. Este es el momento correcto, desde el cuarto domingo de Adviento hasta la Nochebuena de este año. Cuando ocurre este evento, escucho a la gente decir constantemente cosas como "oh, simplemente omitimos el domingo de la iglesia, ya que vamos a ir el día de Navidad o la Nochebuena". ¡Incorrecto! Tendemos a tratar de justificar nuestras decisiones para la iglesia, especialmente cuando, espérelo, ¡es posible que tengamos que ir a la iglesia más de una vez por semana! Lo creas o no, hay personas además del sacerdote que van a misa todos los días, en realidad está bien ir más de una vez por semana. Ahora que ha detectado mi sarcasmo y se pregunta a qué me dedico, es que durante la semana de Navidad vamos a misa el domingo para celebrar el 4º domingo de Adviento y luego para celebrar la Navidad. Hay un propósito para ir a ambos. La misa del cuarto domingo de Adviento está terminando nuestra preparación para la Navidad. Sería como si alguien tomara la clases de manejo y deja pasar la última clase, que es estacionarse paralelo, y de todas formas van a tomar su examen de manejo. No están preparados adecuadamente para esa prueba, al igual que nosotros no estamos preparados adecuadamente para la Navidad. Entonces, cuando terminamos este cuarto domingo y esperamos la Navidad, salimos preparados para celebrar la

The day will begin with Praise and Worship. Each video presentation will be followed by small group discussion which ends with prayer in the small group.

All three video presentations were recorded at the New Evangelization Summit attended by committed Catholic disciples. However, they would engage Millennials as well as older adults whether or not they have prior knowledge of Scripture and Church teachings or personal knowledge of Jesus. They engage the intellect but more so, they have the power to inspire reflection and draw hearts to Christ.

DID YOU KNOW?

Keep an eye on those Christmas candles

Twelve percent of home fires caused by candles will occur in December — the combination of increased candle use and flammable decorations isn’t a good one, especially if candles aren’t used safely. Never leave candles burning in a room you are not in, or while you’re sleeping. Clear the area before lighting a candle, making sure that the flame will be contained, that there’s nothing flammable nearby, and that the candle is safely out of reach for children. If you have plans for a fire in your fireplace, check your chimney to make sure it’s clean. For more tips, visit https://www.nsc.org/home-safety/tools-resources/seasonal-safety/winter/holiday.

¿SABÍA QUE? Vigile las velas navideñas

El doce por ciento de los incendios en el hogar causados por velas ocurrirán en diciembre. La combinación de un mayor uso de velas y decoraciones inflamables no es buena, especialmente si las velas no se usan de manera segura. Nunca deje velas encendidas en una habitación en la que no esté alguien o mientras esté durmiendo. Limpie el área antes de encender una vela, asegurándose de que la llama esté contenida, de que no haya nada inflamable cerca y de que la vela esté fuera del alcance de los niños. Si tiene planes de encender su chimenea, revise su chimenea para asegurarse de que esté limpia.

MEMORIES AND DREAMS Throughout our lives, we retain the language and habits of our native region and family of origin. Should we return to our home after a long absence, we quickly revert to its familiar speech and practices. Our deep memory is reflected in old stories and words and speech patterns. This familiarity runs like an underground river and accompanies us wherever we go. Not only do we remember, we are incorporated into and made part of a greater memory. In remembering and recollecting, we are in turn gathered up and re-collected. Today we remember Mary, a small figure travelling the country roads to visit Elizabeth. All the great pro-nouncements and dreams of the prophets point to this time when the Lord’s words to Mary would be gathered and fulfilled. The memories of her people are alive in her, and memories of her nourish our own living faith. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

RECUERDOS Y SUEÑOS En el curso de nuestra vida mantenemos el idioma y los hábitos de nuestra región nativa y familia de origen. Cuando retornamos a nuestro hogar tras una larga ausen-cia, rápidamente volvemos a su manera de hablar y a sus prácticas familiares. Nuestros profundos recuerdos se reflejan en viejas historias y palabras y en modos de con-versar. Esta familiaridad corre como un río subterráneo y nos acompaña a donde sea que vayamos. No solamente recordamos, sino que somos incorpora-dos y formamos parte de una memoria más amplia. Cuan-do traemos recuerdos a la mente somos a la vez reunidos y recordados. Hoy recordamos a María, una joven frágil, que recorre zonas rurales para visitar a Isabel. Todos los grandes pro-nunciamientos y sueños de los profetas apuntan a este tiempo en que deben cumplirse las palabras del Señor a María. Las memorias de su pueblo están vivas en ella, y esas memorias alimentan nuestra fe viva. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
