Otro nombre para este domingo de Adviento es Gaudete o domingo de

alegría o regocijo. Este nombre se toma de la antífona de entrada, que a su

vez es una cita de la carta de san Pablo a los filipenses: “Alégrense siempre

en el Señor”. Nuestra preparación en este tiempo de Adviento ya está a

mitad de camino. ¿Cómo van hasta ahora tus preparaciones? Nunca es

tarde para prepararse para la venida de Dios a nuestro corazón; así pues,

oremos hoy para que nuestro corazón se abra cada vez más a la presencia

de Dios.

LITURGY OF THE DAY

Another name for this Sunday of Advent is Gaudete or Rejoice Sunday.

This name is taken from the entrance antiphon, which is itself a quote

from Saint Paul’s Letter to the Philippians: “Rejoice in the Lord always.”

Our Advent season of preparation is already halfway over. How have

your preparations gone so far? It is never too late to prepare for the

coming of God in our hearts, so let us pray today for hearts ever more

open to the presence of God.

Homilía De Hoy

¿Se acuerdan de Juan en el Evangelio de la semana pasada, que

imaginaba un Mesías aterrador que bautizaría “en el Espíritu Santo y

su fuego . . . el bieldo en su mano para separar el trigo de la paja . . .

y quemará la paja en un fuego que no se extingue” (Mateo 3:11, 12)?

Esta semana la pregunta de Juan, “¿Eres tú el que ha de

venir?” (Mateo 11:3), bien podría hacernos imaginar que Juan

añadiera: “¡Porque de ninguna manera tú me luces como el Mesías

que yo espero!” Por lo contrario, Juan ha oído que Jesús, lejos de

separar el trigo y quemar la paja, conforta, cura y perdona a la gente.

• Aunque Isaías en la primera lectura de hoy imagina a ese Mesías

que cura, la ocupación de Israel por parte de los paganos en el

tiempo de Jesús daba pie a que las esperanzas del pueblo estuvieran

fijadas en otra visión de las Escrituras, o sea, en un Mesías guerrero

que echara afuera a los paganos y garantizara la liberación nacional

de Israel. Por eso es que hoy, a todos aquellos que preferirían que

Dios actuara más definitivamente y aún con más coacción para

inaugurar el Reino, Jesús les propone una nueva bienaventuranza:

“Dichoso aquel que no se sienta defraudado por mí” (Mateo 11:6),

esto es, por mi manera gentil y compasiva.

• Dichosos también aquellos que no se ofenden porque Dios se tarda.

Han pasado milenios desde la visión de Isaías sobre el ministerio de

Jesús y aun así Santiago nos exhorta a ser pacientes. La expansión

del Reino toma tiempo y qué decir de la cosecha. Sin embargo para

Santiago ser “paciente” no significa ser “pasivo”. La transformación

de la humanidad debe comenzar, al menos, entre los creyentes, los

cuales son llamados no sólo a esperar la venida del Señor, sino a

preverla. El programa de Santiago es práctico e intencionado,

sencillo y escueto: “No murmuren . . . los unos de los otros” (5:9).

Pregunta de la semana

¿Qué clase de Mesías proclama y testimonia mi vida? ¿Uno que

viene con fuego y hiel en su mano, o uno que consuela y cura, y del

cual yo soy un instrumento?

In the name of Corpus Christi Parish, we THANK one of our

Knights of Columbus!

For his Eagle Scout project, Jarred improved the space around

our flagpole and adjacent areas. It looks very nice! Our

wonderful Knights of Columbus included lights around the

Blessed Mother statue and around the base of the flagpole so it

is visible and prominent at night. Thanks to all who helped!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Gaudete Sunday, and rose color vestments are

permitted.

Note From Father Ray

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

We have completed our project of updating the kneelers

in the church. From the feedback that I have received, you

the parishioners seem pleased with this very necessary

work. I also want to provide everyone with a summary of

the project.

We began in August, and we just completed the work

this week. Gerry Prestia removed 10 to 15 kneelers at a

time and took them to AW Upholstery in Lexington. They

recovered them with the more heavy duty commercial

grade Duramax Red Clay cloth and used 2 inch thick High

Density foam. The total cost was $7,065.

Thank you all for your patience while we slowly

completed our kneeler project. Now we can all much more

easily pray (which is the main thing we try to do in the

building!!!)

In Christ Our Lord,

Father Ray
