2 l Our Lady of Perpetual Help Catholic Church

Who did you come to see? A version of this question

is posed by Jesus many times in the Gospels. He asks

it of Andrew and John when they begin to follow him.

He asks it of Mary Magdalene in the garden of the res-

urrection. He asks it in today’s Gospel. “What did you

go out to the desert to see?” There is something in-

nately human about “seeing.” Animals have eyes —

some with much more powerful vision than our own

— but that’s not the kind of seeing Jesus is talking

about. We could phrase the question several other

ways. “What are you looking for?” “What are you

longing for?” “Whom do you seek?”

It is in seeing for ourselves that our suspicions or hy-

potheses are confirmed, that our desires discover their

fulfillment, and that we can rest for a moment in cer-

tainty. John the Baptist sought certainty of Jesus’ iden-

tity. “Are you the one who is to come, or should we

look for another?” Jesus sends word to him based on

the testimony of sight, observations of the mighty

deeds Jesus has begun to work. “Go and tell John

what you hear and see.”

God recognizes our desire to see. In the Incarnation,

the Word is made flesh. The invisible is made visible.

The supernatural is made manifest in an infant who

can do little more than the most natural of movements

as he feeds, cries, sleeps. We don’t need to wait for

Christmas to see God. The work of God is all around

us. Those blinded by sin “regain their sight.” People

overcome backgrounds of poverty and violence to

make world-changing contributions. Addicts grow and

heal. Truth is spoken, and people listen. Let’s pray for

the grace to see God’s movement in our lives this

week. How have you seen the work of God?

El tercer Domingo de Adviento recibe el nombre

de Gaudete, que significa alegría. “Estén siempre

alegres en el Señor; se lo repito, estén alegres y

tengan buen trato con todos” (Filipenses 4:4),

dice la antífona de entrada. La oración colectiva

también nos lleva a reflexionar en el significado

permanente de esta alegría: “Mira, Señor, a tu

pueblo que espera con fe la fiesta del nacimiento

de tu Hijo, y concédele celebrar el gran misterio

de nuestra salvación con un corazón nuevo y una

inmensa alegría.” El Profeta Isaías lo afirma con

sus palabras de esperanza a su pueblo: “¡Animo!

no teman. He aquí que su Dios, vengador y justi-

ciero, viene ya para salvarlos.”

La Navidad se acerca y su luz nos envuelve y llena

de esplendor. Todo el ambiente es de fiesta y pre-

paración. Las celebraciones Marianas nos han

dejado ese gozo de albergue y acogida al que lo

necesita. Ah, si comprendiéramos el motivo de

alegría que decimos celebrar, entenderíamos per-

fectamente que se debe a que Dios y su salvación

están cerca. La alegría y la salvación van juntas,

no se pueden separar, nos dice la Liturgia. Por

este motivo, Juan se alegra desde la cárcel al es-

cuchar la respuesta que Jesús le envía: “Los cie-

gos ven, los cojos andan, los leprosos quedan lim-

pios de la lepra, los sordos oyen, los muertos re-

sucitan y a los pobres se les anuncia el evangelio.

Dichoso aquel que no se siente defraudado por

mí.” Que la participación en la Eucaristía fomen-

te actitudes que preparen a celebrar la Navidad

en familia recordando y viviendo que Jesús nunca

nos defraudará.

Much Gratitude to our late night

and early morning adorers. Your

dedication inspires us!

There is unique peace, a special solitude and

quiet that comes in the late night and early

morning hours when a busy city calms down

and rests. Eucharistic adoration at this time is

particularly fulfilling. We live in a noisy world

of relentless background sounds that distract,

confuse and muddle our focus. The sacred si-

lence of the Perpetual Adoration Chapel pro-

vides a sanctuary from disruption. We long to

experience the soft, insistent voice of Christ

calling us to be closer to Him. In the third cen-

tury, men and women journeyed into the deserts

of Palestine and Egypt to escape the distractions

of their busy world. These desert fathers and

mothers, called ‘Abba’ and ‘Amma,’ sought a

place stripped of urban life. They, too, longed

for a place where the voice of Christ is the most

hearable. Even though we live in the desert, our

noisy world surrounds us. Join your fellow pa-

rishioners in the peace of the Perpetual Adora-

tion Chapel. The chapel is a loving gift and ser-

vice to our OLPH parish. Whether you sign up

for an hour of adoration or just drop in when

he Holy Spirit moves your heart, you are wel-

come. Call the parish office for more infor-

mation or check out our website at www.

olphglendale.com.

Muchas gracias a nuestros adorado-

res de madrugada. ¡Tu dedicación

nos inspira!

Hay una paz única, una soledad y tranquilidad muy

especial que llega a altas horas de la noche y tem-

prano en la mañana cuando una ciudad ocupada se

calma y descansa. La adoración eucarística en este

momento es particularmente satisfactoria. Vivimos

en un mundo ruidoso de implacables sonidos de

fondo que distraen, y confunden nuestro enfoque.

El silencio sagrado de la Capilla de Adoración

Perpetua proporciona un santuario contra la inte-

rrupción. Anhelamos experimentar la voz suave e

insistente de Cristo que nos llama a estar más cerca

de Él. En el siglo III, hombres y mujeres viajaron a

los desiertos de Palestina y Egipto para escapar de

las distracciones de su mundo ocupado. Estos pa-

dres y madres del desierto, llamados "Abba" y

"Amma", buscaron un lugar despojado de la vida

urbana. Ellos también anhelaban un lugar donde la

voz de Cristo sea la más audible. Aunque vivimos

en el desierto, nuestro mundo ruidoso nos rodea.

Únase a sus compañeros feligreses en la paz de la

Capilla de la Adoración Perpetua. La capilla es un

regalo y servicio amoroso para nuestra parroquia

de OLPH. Ya sea que se registre para una hora de

adoración o simplemente entre cuando el Espíritu

Santo mueva su corazón, es bienvenido. Llame a la

oficina parroquial para obtener más información o
