Dear Friends,
Many, many thanks to all who made our Festival in honor our
Lady of Guadalupe a success. I had fun and looking around it
seemed that everyone else was having fun, as well. The food was
wonderful and our dancers were magnificent. And at the end,
some lucky people went home with presents for under the tree.
Special thanks must go to our Pastoral Council and especially to
the sub-committee which organized all of this: Arturo Gonzalez,
Jr. (our Council Chair), Gabriella Puente (our vice Chair),
Salvador Juarez, Rosalba Lopez, Grabiel Gonzales, Francisca
Santos, and Beatriz Amezquita. Thanks to all of the individuals
and groups which gave of their time and talents, especially, SINE,
Grupo de Oracion, y Movimiento Familiar Cristiano. Thanks to all
of you who supported the Festival and the parish through your
purchase of raffle tickets and your presence.
All of our thanks to Our Blessed Mother, the Virgin of Guadalupe.
I am sure that it was through her intercession that the rain held off
despite the dire forecasts.
In a week or two, we will have the final accounting for the
Festival, but I can tell you now that it was a financial success and
helped in a significant way to improve our finances.
Our thanks as well to the Knights of Columbus Msgr. A.L.
Connell Council 3700 for their generous donation of $500.00 to
the works of the Parish.
May each night this week be a Holy Night for you.
Fr. Joe

Queridos amigos,
Muchas, muchas gracias a todos los que hicieron nuestro Festival
en honor a nuestra Señora de Guadalupe un éxito. Me divertí
mucho y mirando alrededor parecía que todos los demás también
se divertían. La comida fue maravillosa y nuestros bailarines
eran magníficos. Y al final, algunos afortunados fueron a casa
con regalos para debajo del árbol.
Se debe un agradecimiento especial a nuestro Concilio Pastoral y
especialmente a la Subcomisión que organizó todo esto: Arturo
González, Jr. (nuestro Presidente del Consejo), Gabriella Puente
(nuestro vice presidente), Salvador Juárez, Rosalba López,
Gabriel Gonzales, Francisca Santos y Beatriz Amezquita.
Gracias a todos los individuos y grupos que dieron de su tiempo y
talento, sobre todo, SINE, Grupo de Oración, y Movimiento
Familiar Cristiano. Gracias a todos los que apoyaron el Festival
y la parroquia a través de la compra de boletos de la rifa y su
presencia.
Todo nuestro agradecimiento a nuestra Madre Santísima, la
Virgen de Guadalupe. Estoy seguro que fue por su intercesión
que la lluvia se mantuvo a raya a pesar de los pronósticos
terribles.
En una o dos semanas, vamos a tener la contabilidad final para el
Festival, pero puedo decirles ahora que fue un éxito financiero y
ayudó de manera significativa a mejorar nuestras finanzas.
Nuestro agradecimiento también a los Caballeros de Colón Mons.
A.L. Connell Council 3700 por su donación de $500.00 para las
obras de la parroquia.
Pido que cada noche de esta semana sea una Santa Noche para
cada uno de ustedes.
El Padre Joe

First Reading Mi 5:1-4a
Thus says the LORD: You, Bethlehem-Ephrathah too small to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for
me one who is to be ruler in Israel; whose origin is from of old, from ancient times. Therefore the Lord will give them up,
until the time when she who is to give birth has borne, and the rest of his kindred shall return to the children of Israel. He
shall stand firm and shepherd his flock by the strength of the LORD, in the majestic name of the LORD, his God; and they
shall remain, for now his greatness shall reach to the ends of the earth; he shall be peace.
Responsorial Psalm Ps 80 R. Lord, make us turn to you; let us see your face and we shall be saved.
Second Reading Heb 10:5-10
Brothers and sisters: When Christ came into the world, he said: “Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you
prepared for me; in holocausts and sin offerings you took no delight. Then I said, ‘As is written of me in the scroll, behold, I
come to do your will, O God.’“ First he says, “Sacrifices and offerings, holocausts and sin offerings, you neither desired
nor delighted in.” These are offered according to the law. Then he says, “Behold, I come to do your will.” He takes away
the first to establish the second. By this “will,” we have been consecrated through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ
once for all.
Gospel Lk 1:39-45 Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of
Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth,
filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of
your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound
of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was
spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.”
El Misal (Ordinario de la Misa) esta en Oramos Cantando/We Pray in Song a Partir de 150
Primera lectura Miq 5, 1-4a
Esto dice el Señor: “De ti, Belén de Efrata, pequeña entre las aldeas de Judá, de ti saldrá el jefe de Israel, cuyos orígenes se
remontan a tiempos pasados, a los días más antiguos. Por eso, el Señor abandonará a Israel, mientras no dé a luz la que ha
de dar a luz. Entonces el resto de sus hermanos se unirá a los hijos de Israel. Él se levantará para pastorear a su pueblo con
la fuerza y la majestad del Señor, su Dios. Ellos habitarán tranquilos, porque la grandeza del que ha de nacer llenará la tierra
y él mismo será la paz”.
Salmo Responsorial Salmo 79 R. Señor, muéstranos tu favor y sálvanos.
Segunda lectura Heb 10, 5-10
Hermanos: Al entrar al mundo, Cristo dijo, conforme al salmo: No quisiste víctimas ni ofrendas; en cambio, me has dado un
cuerpo. No te agradaron los holocaustos ni los sacrificios por el pecado; entonces dije –porque a mí se refiere la Escritura–:
“Aquí estoy, Dios mío; vengo para hacer tu voluntad”. Comienza por decir: “No quisiste víctimas ni ofrendas, no te
agradaron los holocaustos ni los sacrificios por el pecado –siendo así que eso es lo que pedía la ley–; y luego añade: “Aquí
estoy, Dios mío; vengo para hacer tu voluntad”. Con esto, Cristo suprime los antiguos sacrificios, para establecer el nuevo.
Y en virtud de esta voluntad, todos quedamos santificados por la ofrenda del cuerpo de Jesucristo, hecha una vez por todas.
Evangelio Lc 1, 39-45
En aquellos días, María se encaminó presurosa a un pueblo de las montañas de Judea y, entrando en la casa de Zacarías,
saludó a Isabel. En cuanto ésta oyó el saludo de María, la creatura saltó en su seno. Entonces Isabel quedó llena del Espíritu
Santo y, levantando la voz, exclamó: “¡Bendita tú entre las mujeres y bendito el fruto de tu vientre! ¿Quién soy yo, para que
la madre de mi Señor venga a verme? Apenas llegó tu saludo a mis oídos, el niño saltó de gozo en mi seno. Dichosa tú, que
has creído, porque se cumplirá cuanto te fue anunciado de parte del Señor”.
