Howdy,

First of all, I wish a very Merry Christ-

mas to all of you. This is such a wonder-

ful time of year, full of family and

friends. For some of us who have lost

loved ones, it is also a difficult time.

Please remember to pray for those who

are missing loved ones or who are espe-

cially lonely at this time. God became

one with us to remind us that we are all

one family together.

I also want to remind our young men,

high school age and above, that this Fri-

day is our annual Diocesan Young

Men’s conference. It is a great time to

celebrate what it means to be a young

Catholic man in our society today. The

conference is Friday, December 28th , at

St. Bernadette parish from 10am to 5pm.

The cost is $20 if you register alone, but

if you register with our your group it is

only $10.

Again, I pray you all have a wonderful

and safe Christmas season.

Waiting for Jesus,

Father Mike

Que tal,

En primer lugar, les deseo una muy Feliz

Navidad a todos ustedes. Esta es una

época maravillosa del año, llena de

familiares y amigos. Para algunos de

nosotros que hemos perdido a seres

queridos, también es un tiempo difícil.

Por favor, recuerden de orar por aque-

llos que extrañan a sus seres queridos o

especialmente por aquellos que se sien-

ten solos durante estos días. Dios se unió

a nosotros para recordarnos que

somos todos una sola familia.

También quiero recordarles a nuestros

jóvenes, en la escuela secundaria y

demás, que este viernes es nuestra confe-

rencia diocesana anual para hombres

jóvenes. Es un buen momento para cele-

brar lo que significa ser un joven católi-

co en nuestra sociedad actual. La confe-

rencia es el viernes, 28 de diciembre, en

la parroquia de St. Bernadette de 10am a

5pm. El costo es de $20 si se registra

solo, pero si se registra en nuestro grupo,

solo cuesta $10.

Nuevamente, les pido a todos que tengan

una maravillosa temporada navideña y

que se mantengan sanos y salvos.

Esperando a Jesús

Padre Mike

"Cuando María tiene noticia de la maternidad de

su prima Isabel, ya anciana y estéril, se pone en

camino. No por falta de fe en la profecía ni por

dudar del anuncio, ni por dudar de los signos que

le fueron dados, sino llena de alegría para cum-

plir un servicio entrañable. En la prontitud de la

alegría, María se dirige hacia las montañas. Lle-

na de Dios ¿podía no ir de prisa hacia las altu-

ras? Los cálculos lentos no corresponden a la

gracia del Espíritu Santo" (San Ambrosio). Este

breve resumen que San Ambrosio nos da en su

reflexión sobre la Visitación nos prepara para

saber acoger las sorpresas de Dios, referente al

servicio generoso que se debe tener hacia el que

lo necesita.

Salga al encuentro del otro, como nos lo dice el

Papa Francisco, " Salida de la Iglesia-que habla

de los pobres hacia una Iglesia-que va a los po-

bres, conversa con ellos, los abraza y los defien-

de". Dios sale hacia las montañas de Judá y con

alegría las dos mujeres se abrazan. El saludo de

Isabel lleno del Espíritu Santo resuena en sus en-

trañas y al momento el niño saltó de alegría.

"¡Dichosa tú por haber creído que se cumplirían

las promesas del Señor!" (Lucas 1:45). María e

Isabel son testigos del amor de Dios en el mundo.

" Bendito el fruto de tu vientre" (Lucas 1:42). El

Himno Litúrgico del Tiempo de Adviento es una

oración hermosa que nos ayuda durante la sema-

na a esperar al Mesías. " Ya la tierra reclama su

fruto y de bodas se anuncia alegría, el Señor que

en los cielos moraba se hizo carne en la Virgen

Maria." ¿Está tu corazón listo para re recibir al

Señor?

As the culture becomes less Christian, and as the

Church works to reform in the midst of the

current scandals, it is more important than ever that

Catholics renew their faith in Jesus Christ and his

teaching.

Our dynamic FORMED platform provides incredi-

ble programs, audio talks, movies, and e-books to

do just this. It is the largest online resource of

Catholic content in the world.

This resource is FREE to our parishioners. You

can obtain information in the vestibule on how to

register.

Here we are, mere days from Christmas, and we

hear a Gospel anticipating the birth of another

child. Mary has received word that her cousin

Elizabeth is with child. Pregnant as she is, Mary

"set out and traveled to the hill country in haste."

She has recently received the greatest news of her

life - that she is to be mother to the Messiah by the

power of the Holy Spirit - but her concern is for

her cousin in need. Through God's grace, Eliza-

beth turns it into an opportunity to honor the com-

ing Christ. "Blessed are you among women, and

blessed is the fruit of your womb." Yet Mary's

example of selflessness should inspire us.

As Christmas draws near, there is plenty of good-

ness to anticipate for many of us. We'll reunite

with family and friends, uphold time-honored tra-

ditions, swap stories old and new, exchange gifts,

and welcome Jesus at the Christmas liturgy. These

are wonderful things! Of course, they probably all

come with their own to-do list. Shop for last-

minute gifts, pick up recipe ingredients, ready the

guest room, or pack your own bags. Mary proba-

bly had things to do as well. She had a lot to con-

sider, for one thing. How do you plan to tell your

parents you're pregnant, but no man was involved?

When Joseph finds out, who will care for the prac-

tical needs of you and your child? Into what may

have been a chaos of questions, Mary receives

news that someone is in need. She goes immedi-

ately.

In these final days before Christmas, stay watchful

and awake! You never know when God might

invite you to welcome, hospitality, and compas-

sion. It might be tempting to reject the opportunity

for your own needs. Follow the example of Mary!

If God is providing you an opportunity to love, He

will provide the means to accomplish all your oth-

er tasks. This Christmas season, may you too hear,

"Blessed are you who believed that what was spo-

ken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled."

Christmas Eve Rosary for Life

With Bishop Olmsted

December 24th at 11:00am

As we celebrate the eve of Christ’s birth, join

Bishop Olmsted in praying the rosary outside

the Planned Parenthood facility at 5771 W.

Eugie Ave. in Glendale, Az.

Please park along nearby streets and walk to

the site; do not park in local business or med-

ical parking lots. Bring water and shade.

Rosario por la Vida

24 de diciembre, 11:00am

Obispo Thomas J. Olmsted

Acompáñenos! Al celebrar la víspera del

nacimiento de Cristo, únete al Obispo

Olmsted para rezar el rosario afuera de las

instalaciones de Planned Parenthood en

Glendale.

Por favor estacionarse en las calles cercanas

y caminar hasta el sitio; no se estacione en

estacionamientos de negocios o médicos. No

olviden traer agua para tomar y protección

para el sol.

Ahora estamos muy cerca de Navidad y la

emoción está creciendo. Si tienes niños

pequeños en tu familia, ellos te muestran la

amorosa expectativa con la que estamos desti-

nados a esperar nuestra celebración navideña.

La ansiosa expectativa con la que los niños

esperan regalos es el mismo anhelo de “No

puedo esperar” que debería crecer en nuestros

corazones mientras esperamos la segunda

venida de Cristo. ¿Esperamos la salvación de

todo el mundo, creyendo que Jesús vendrá de

nuevo? ¿O pensamos que nuestros deseos

nunca serán satisfechos? Isabel recibió la

visita de María con gran fe y humildad.

¿Estamos listos ahora, después de cuatro

semanas de Adviento, para recibir a Jesús y

María nuevamente en nuestras vidas con

alegría esta Navidad? Isabel nos da las

palabras que necesitamos: "¡Bendita tú entre

las mujeres y bendito es el fruto de tu

vientre!" LA OFICINA DE CATECISMO ESTARÁ

CERRADA EL LUNES 24 Y MARTES 25 DE

DICIEMBRE.

We are now oh so close to Christmas

and the excitement is growing. If you

have small children in your family, they

show you the loving expectation with

which we are meant to await our Christ-

mas celebration.

The eager expectation with which chil-

dren await gifts is the same “I can hard-

ly wait” longing that should be growing

in our hearts as we look forward to

Christ’s second coming. Do we hope for

the salvation of the whole world, believ-

ing Jesus will come again? Or do we

think our desires will never be satisfied?

Elizabeth met Mary’s visit with great

faith and humility. Are we ready now,

after four weeks of Advent, to welcome

Jesus and Mary afresh into our lives

with joy this Christmas? Elizabeth gives

us the words we need: “Blessed are you

among women and blessed is the fruit of

your womb!” THE RELIGIOUS EDUCATION OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED ON MONDAY, DECEMBER 24 AND TUESDAY, DECEMBER 25.
