First Sunday of Advent
November 27, 2011
Be watchful! Be alert!
You do not know when the time will come.
— Mark 13:33
From the Pastor’s Desk
Mensaje del Parroco
Happy New Year! As this new liturgical year
begins with the First Sunday of Advent, I pray that
each and every one of you may be filled with
blessings and peace, and that you may know the
movement of God in your lives. As the world
becomes engulfed with Christmas preparations, I
hope that you may find the time to experience peace
and stillness to prepare for the coming of our God.
And as our Church begins the use of the new
translation of the Roman Missal, Third Edition, I
pray that the transition may be smooth. I know that
for some of us it will feel awkward for a while, but
with time I think that we will come to appreciate the
beautiful Scriptural images and metaphors we will be
hearing, and soon it will feel “natural.”
As I write this, it is the end of a long day of
walking and touring in Jerusalem. We have met
many people involved in peace and justice work,
Israelis and Palestinians, Jews, Muslims, and
Christians. The situation is difficult and
complicated; there are no easy solutions. By the
time you read this, we will have been in Hebron
for almost a week. Hebron is where Abraham
bought a cave to bury his wife Sarah. Today
tradition says that Abraham, Sarah, Isaac,
Rebecca, Jacob, and Leah are all buried there.
On top of the cave is a mosque, that has now
been divided into a mosque and a synagogue.
There are military checkpoints all over the
city, that the Palestinians must pass through. Daily
life is tense, for Jews and Moslems.
In the U.S., you have just celebrated
Thanksgiving. I invite you to give thanks for the
many blessings that we have in our lives—one of
them being that most of us never have to think about
whether we will be allowed to go to work or school,
or church, or a hospital.
Marana tha! Come, Lord Jesus!
Fr. Maurice
¡Feliz Año Nuevo! Al empezar este nuevo año
litúrgico con el Primer Domingo de Adviento, yo
pido a Dos que todos y cada uno de ustedes sean
colmados de bendiciones y paz, y que reconozcan la
actividad de Dios en sus vidas. Mientras el mundo se
involucra con los preparativos de Navidad, espero
que ustedes encuentren tiempo para experimentar la
paz y tranquilidad para prepararse para la venida de
nuestro Dios.
Al escribir esto, es el final de un largo día de
caminar y viajar en Jerusalén. Hemos conocido a
muchas personas involucradas en los trabajos por la
paz y la justicia, Israelíes y Palestinos, Judíos,
Musulmanes y Cristianos. La situación es difícil y
complicada, no hay soluciones fáciles. Para cuando
lean esto, nosotros ya habremos estado
en Hebrón por casi una semana. Hebrón
es donde Abraham compró la cueva
para enterrar a su esposa Sara. Hoy en
día la tradición dice que Abraham,
Sara, Isaac, Rebeca, Jacob y Lea están
sepultados allí. En la parte superior de
la cueva se encuentra una mezquita,
que actualmente se ha dividido en una
mezquita y una sinagoga. Hay casetas
de control militar en toda la ciudad,
por las cuales los palestinos deben
pasar. La vida diaria es tensa, para
Judíos y musulmanes.
En los Estados Unidos, ustedes acaban de celebrar
el día de Acción de Gracias. Los invito a dar gracias
por tantas bendiciones que tenemos en nuestras vidas
– una de ellas es que la mayoría de nosotros jamás
tiene que pensar si se nos va a permitir ir al trabajo o
a la escuela, o a la iglesia, o al hospital. ¡Marana tha!
¡Ven, Señor Jesús!
Padre Maurice
Our Advent Penance Service will be held on
Wednesday, December 14, at 7:00 p.m.
Our Lord Jesus Christ the King
Reflection by Tim Dyksinski
Remember how as a child we would look forward
to an upcoming event with great excitement. We
could hardly wait for the beginning of summer
vacation, a birthday, Christmas, a trip, or a visit from
someone special. Even as adults we often wait in
expectation for some good that will soon happen.
Expectation keeps us alert and watching, heightens
our awareness, affects our behavior and opens us to
new possibilities.
In today’s gospel, Jesus tells his disciples, “Be
watchful! Be alert!” Their
expectations were narrow
and limited. They were
waiting for a Messiah who
would restore Israel to its
former power, glory and
wealth. Their narrow
expectations were not
open to look for a
carpenter already in their
midst as the one sent by
God to be their Messiah.
We must also be alert
and watchful with wide
eyed expectation to see
God present in our midst.
If we expect Christ’s
presence, we will find it because God is always
present, always faithful. Our challenge is to be alert
and watchful in every day life, to open our eyes and
see Christ present in the simple events and people
around us. We are constantly gifted by God’s
presence in ways we cannot even imagine – we have
only to open our eyes, be alert, watchful and widen
the vision of our expectations.
This Advent, what are we looking for and what do
we expect? This Advent, let us be like wide-eyed
children alert with expectation for God to reveal his
presence in our daily living.
Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, Rey del Universo
Reflexión por Tim Dyksinski
Recuerdan cómo cuando éramos niños
esperábamos un evento próximo con gran
entusiasmo. Casi nos desesperábamos por que
llegaran las vacaciones de verano, un cumpleaños,
Navidad, un viaje o una visita de alguien especial.
Incluso ya de adultos, frecuentemente estamos a la
expectativa de algo bueno que pronto va a suceder.
Las expectativas nos mantienen alertas y vigilantes,
aumentan nuestra conciencia, afectan nuestro
comportamiento y nos abren a nuevas posibilidades.
En el evangelio de hoy,
Jesús dice a sus
discípulos: “¡Velen y
estén preparados!”Sus
expectativas eran
estrechas y limitadas.
Estaban esperando a un
Mesías que restaurar a
Israel a su antiguo poder,
gloria y riqueza. Sus
estrechas expectativas no
estaban abiertas a buscar a
un carpintero, ya en medio
de ellos, como el enviado
por Dios para ser su
Mesías.
También nosotros
debemos estar alertas y vigilantes con expectativa y
ojos muy abiertos para ver a Dios presente entre
nosotros. Si esperamos la presencia de Cristo, vamos
a encontrarla porque Dios está siempre presente,
siempre fiel. Nuestro desafío es estar alertas y
vigilantes en nuestra vida diaria, para abrir los ojos y
ver a Cristo presente en los acontecimientos más
sencillos y en las personas a nuestro alrededor.
Estamos dotados constantemente por la presencia de
Dios en formas que ni siquiera podemos imaginar sólo tenemos que abrir los ojos, estar alertas,
vigilantes y ampliar la visión de nuestras
expectativas.
En este Adviento, ¿qué es lo que estamos
buscando y que es lo que esperamos? En este
Adviento, que seamos como niños con los ojos bien
abiertos, alertas con la expectativa de que Dios
revele su presencia en nuestra vida diaria.
Please pray for our loved ones and friends in
the hospital: Dolores Delgado, Jennifer
Gamboa, Cynthia Heffernan, Jennifer
Lambright, Jordan Nachtegaele, Jimi
Odom, Delia Yanez.

on the hospital list will be published for 4 weeks.
