Saint Canera, patroness of Irish Sailors, is sitting in a boat
with an oil lamp, the symbol of wisdom and virginity, with a
monastery on an island in the background where she sought spiritual
rest. She was refused
entrance to the island but was given Eucharist just before she
died. The shamrock speaks to her Irish ancestry.

R E F L E X I Ó N
Las señales son importantes. Así como com-prendemos el lenguaje,
los signos nos dan fuer-tes mensajes y a veces comunican incluso
más que las palabras. Un enamorado espera una se-ñal de amor de su
amada. Alguien que tiene a un ser querido enfermo busca signos que
le den esperanza de vida. Una persona que ande por el desierto
tiene los ojos abiertos en busca de sig-nos de agua o de vida. Dame
una señal, le deci-mos a Dios muchas veces. Hay personas que ven
señales de Dios en cosas que no lo son; es decir, podría ser que
vieran una señal en algo que a toda vista es lo contrario a lo que
quiere Dios. Buscamos seña-les, signos, luces que nos indiquen por
dónde caminar o hacia dónde dirigirnos; y a veces esa búsqueda es
un escape de la necesidad de tomar una decisión. Esperamos que Dios
nos de una señal sobre lo que tenemos que hacer con nues-tra vida
y, como no llega, no hacemos lo que sabemos dentro de nuestro
corazón que debe-ríamos hacer. Quizá no hayamos visto que la señal
es precisamente eso: la sed o el deseo del corazón, la inclinación
a hacer algo al servicio de otros. -Esta Reflexión fue tomada de

R E F L E C T I O N
Fourth Sunday of Advent
Signs are very important. In the same way we
understand language, signs can sometimes pro-
vide powerful messages and sometimes they
communicate even more than words do. A per-
son in love waits for a sign of love of his or her
beloved. Someone who has a loved ill seeks
signs to give him or her hopes of life. A person
walking through the desert keeps his eyes open
for signs of water or life. Give me a sign, we tell
God many times.
There are people who see signs of God in
things that are not really such signs; in other
words, they might see a sign in something that is
clearly the opposite of what God may want. We
seek signs, symbols, lights to show us where to
go or where we are heading; and sometimes this
search is an escape from the need to make a de-
cision. We expect God to give us a sign about
what we should do with our life and, since we
don’t see any, we don’t do what deep in our
heart we feel should be done. Perhaps what we
should see is that the sign is precisely the thirst
or desire of the heart, the inclination to doing
something in the service of others.
This reflection was taken from Nuestra Parroquia.

Diocesan Stewardship Message
When he discovered that Mary was with child, Joseph re-solved to
end their engagement with as little disgrace as possible. But
obedient to the voice of God, he changed those plans and became
instead the protector of the child Jesus and His mother, Mary. God
grant that I may be as
open to the leading of the Holy Spirit!
Prepare the way of the Lord . . .
