Chavez, RIP Church of the Resurrection Gospel Glimpses Vistazos de los Evangelios [T]he King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst, you have no further misfortune to fear. — Zephaniah 3:15b El Señor será el rey de Israel en medio de ti y ya no temerás ningún mal. — Sofonías 3:15b Third Sunday of Advent CELEBRATE Tercer Domingo de Adviento CELEBRA This Sunday, God rejoices and sings because of us. We read in Zephaniah today that God “will sing joyfully because of you, / as one sings at festivals” (Zephaniah 3:18). We know plenty about singing at festivals. Already our ears are ringing with the songs and carols that anticipate the Christmas season. Paul reminds us of the source of our own double rejoicing: God is the mighty savior who is in our midst (in Zephaniah’s words). Because this is so, says Paul, we can rejoice and be at ease. We don’t have to worry, for God’s peace will stand guard over our hearts and minds. A medieval carol depicts Christmas as “my dancing day” and urges us to enter into the dance. Why all the merrymaking? Because “the Lord is near,” as Paul reminds us (Philippians 4:5). He then points to another reason for the dancing: the dawn of the promise of peace, the peace beyond all understanding, that is now within our grasp. Este domingo, Dios canta y se regocija por nosotros. Leemos hoy en Sofonías que Dios “se llenará de júbilo por tu causa, como en los días de fiesta” (Sofonías 3:18). Sabemos mucho de cantar en festivales. Ya nuestros oídos resuenan con los cantos y villancicos que anticipan la época navideña. Pablo nos recuerda la fuente de este doble regocijo: Dios, tu poderoso salvador, está en medio de ti (en palabras de Sofonías). Por ser así, nos dice Pablo, podemos alegrarnos y estar en paz. No tenemos que inquietarnos, porque la paz de Dios custodiará nuestros corazones y pensamientos. Un villancico antiguo representa la Navidad como “el día de mi baile” y nos urge a tomar parte en el baile. ¿Por qué todo el regocijo? Porque “el Señor está cerca” nos recuerda Pablo (Filipenses 4:5). Entonces apunta a la otra razón para el baile: el amanecer de la promesa de paz, la paz que sobrepasa toda inteligencia, y que ya está al alcance de la mano.

Del Párroco Remembering Those Who are in the Military With many of our loved ones serving in the Armed Forces, we want to acknowledge and remember them in our prayers. If you have a loved one or know of someone who is currently serving in our Military, please leave their name with the Pastoral Office. We remember: Greg Berger, Navy Noreen Berger, Navy Cpt. Ben Busch, U.S.A.F Cpt. James Busch, U.S.A.F Carlos Cervantes, Army Jason Crabile, Army 1st Lt. Ericka Cullen, Army Capt. Michael Cullen, Army Steve D’Agostino, U.S.M.C Joel de Luna, Army Uriel de Luna, Jr., U.S.M.C Rodley Dean, U.S.M.C Cpl. Mance Mario Perez 1st Lt. Gregory J. Schaeffer, U.S.A.F Joseph Antony Serano, Navy Simon Peter Vieaux, Army Edward Villegas, Navy Felipe Villegas, Navy Ryan Wiginton, Navy Capt. Bryan Wiley, Army Maj. Jonathon Wiley, Army New Tax Law for 2007 We received the following bulletin from the Office of the Bishop this week: “Starting this year, the IRS will only allow parishioners who itemize their tax returns to deduct their contributions if they can provide a written parish contribution statement or copies of bank records. Unidentified cash contributions can no longer be included in tax returns. Consequently, everyone wishing to deduct their contributions will need to use a parish envelope, a personal check, or a direct deposit from the bank. The parish will track these contributions and be able to produce the required written statement for contributions made during 2007.” In addition to parish envelope, personal checks or direct deposit from a bank, the Pastoral Office also records credit card contributions. If you have any questions concerning how your contributions are recorded, please contact Christine Whitten in the Pastoral Office. Taxes and Giving at Christmas and Year's End As our year draws to an end, have you thought of making a tax-deductible contribution that will benefit both you and your parish? You can specify where your donation is to be applied. For example, you can apply your donation to our Faith Formation Ministry, the Youth and Young Adults Ministry, the Building Fund or to our Church Fund. Your generosity is always appreciated. Your end-of-the-year donation can also have a lasting significance for your family and our parish. Last year, a member donated our lovely bells in the memory of her husband. This year we have received generous gifts to our Capital Campaign with designated memorial gifts. With each year, our parish heritage continues to develop. Have your family be part of our parish tradition and be remembered in an exceptional way in the history of our parish by making a lasting contribution. Your name and item donated will be remembered along with others in our new permanent display in the future church. Whatever you decide to do, your particular contribution to your parish community is and will always be appreciated by the future generations who come to worship at the Church of the Resurrection. 3 Church of the Resurrection Stewardship - Living in Gratitude Administración de los Dones de Dios December “Be generous, sharing what you have.” (1 Timothy 6:18) We are all stewards - managers of the many gifts God has bestowed upon us. Our challenge as Christians is to make good use of those gifts. “Happiness lies more in giving than in receiving.” (Acts 20:35) Administración de los Dones de Dios As we prepare to receive God’s only Son as a gift, we make ready our hearts. We ready ourselves to share the greatest gift of all with our family, our friends, and our world. In our daily lives, we manage our family and work responsibilities. But to become occupied with these important matters to the exclusion of the need of others outside our home or work, is a mistake we could carry into eternity. We open our hearts so that we may go forth as disciples of Jesus. The coming new year provides a good time to look at how blessed we are and to ask ourselves how we can say “thank you” to the Lord. Faith Formation Stewards: Janeth Soria Helped her mom with her brother. Norma Vasquez Fed the animals. Yesica Montalvo Helped her mom clean. Diciembre “Ser generosos, compartiendo lo que tienen” (1Timoteo 6:18) Somos todos auxiliares de vuelo - Directores de los tantos obsequios de Dios a concedido sobre nosotros. Nuestros desafíos como Cristianos es de hacer el bueno uso de esos obsequios. “La felicidad caí más al dar que al recibir.” (Acts 20:35) En nuestras vidas diarias, manejamos nuestra familia y nuestro trabajo con responsabilidad. Pero para venir ocupado estos asuntos importantes con exclusión de la necesidad de otros fuera de nuestro hogar o del trabajo, es un error que podríamos llevar asta la eternidad. La venida del año nuevo proporciona una buena oportunidad para ver cómo hemos sido bendecidos y para preguntarnos a si mismos como podríamos decir “muchas gracias” al Señor.
