From the Pastor’s Desk….
As we come together this weekend to celebrate the Fourth Sunday of Advent, we are about to celebrate Christmas; the
birth of Jesus. We praise God like Mary and Elizabeth in the Gospel (today) for all His mighty deeds in our lives and we
pray for the gift of peace and joy. This week I would like to share with you the reflection of Fr. Tom D’Albro (based on
Philippians 4:4-7) preached at the Evening Prayer in the presence of the exposed Blessed Sacrament.
Whenever I hear this passage from Philippians, this beautiful message that comes right from the heart of St. Paul (the
scholars tell us that these Christians at Philippi were especially dear to him), whenever I hear these uplifting words, to be
honest they leave me with mixed feelings.
On the one hand, I say right on, Paul: your words are positive, consoling and uplifting, without any doubt. And yet, I’m
also tempted to say: wait just one minute, Paul. You’re telling us to “rejoice.” How do you do that in the kind of world
that we live in today with its many intractable problems that cause so much suffering to so many?
And then you tell us to “have no anxiety at all.” Would you please tell me how that is possible in this age of terrorism and
economic uncertainty?
We have eyes, just like everybody else; we see the very harsh realities all around the world. And we have ears that hear
the sounds of violence and injustice that devastate and dislocate the lives of so many.
How can we rejoice? How can we have no anxiety? The answer: we can because we also have faith!
That doesn’t mean that we live in a bubble, in a fantasy world that is protected from the anxiety and fear and suffering
that surround us. No, we live in the same world as everybody else. But with the eyes of our faith, we can also “see” beyond the darkness that still blankets our world. With the eyes of our Christian faith, we can see the dawning of a new
day where there is no longer reason to have anxiety. We can see a new tomorrow where there is every reason to rejoice
from sunrise to sunset.
That’s what Christian hope is all about. That’s why St Paul had no hesitation as he invited his Philippian friends to rejoice
without fear or anxiety. Yes, we have a faith that makes hope, not just one possibility among others: our faith makes
hope inevitable!
How do I know that? How did Paul know that? How can we be so trusting that God will make sure that a new day dawns
for all of us?
We can because God has already come through for us. We have tangible proof that our hope is real. And there it is, right
there on the altar, the Eucharistic presence of our Lord.
When Jesus rose from the dead, he made that possible. When Jesus rose from the dead, the curtain of the world was
torn in half and revealed the beginning of a new world.
That real Eucharistic presence of Jesus the Christ, our Lord and Savior is the sign to all of us, until the end of time, that
the Lord is indeed “near to us.” That’s our faith! And it is only a matter of time until “the peace of God that surpasses all
understanding” finally takes hold in the world. That’s our hope!
Finally, on behalf of our priests, deacons and the parish staff I wish you and all your loved ones A Blessed Christmas!
May God grant us peace and joy!

Viernes 25 de Diciembre: La Natividad del Señor:
9:30 A.M. Y 11:30 A.M.
*No habrá Misa de 5:00 de la tarde en éste dia
LA EPIFANIA DEL SEÑOR + 3 DE ENERO DEL 2016 Conmemora-
mos la historia de los Magos que siguiendo la estrella llegan al pesebre y encuentran al niño Jesús! Le adoran y le dan regalos!
Durante la Misa de ése dia, nuestros niños nos ofrecerán una representación de la Natividad! Para éso necesitamos la participación de 15 niños; le pedimos a los padres que permitan que
sus pequeños participen. Tendremos un ensayo el Sabado 2 de
Enero a las 6:00 en punto de la tarde, aquí en la Iglesia.
Por favor acérquense al area del coro hoy mismo despues de Misa
para anotar el nombre de sus pequeños! Para mayor información

al (718) 290-3543.
El grupo Católicos en Acción Ministerio Obras de Misericordia estarán preparando emparedados para los desamparados
el Sabado 26 de Diciembre a partir de las 2:00 de la tarde en el
Centro de Educación Religiosa; les esperamos!
