Year of Consecrated Life
Advent Reflections with Fr. Robert Barron
Fr. Robert Barron has launched an exciting new initiative,
AdventReflections.com, where you can sign up to receive
FREE daily reflections throughout Advent.
Each day, from November 30 until Christmas Eve, he will
email you a short reflection on an Advent theme, in either
English or Spanish. In addition, you will receive exclusive
videos not found anywhere else, special discount codes for new
products, and several giveaways throughout Advent including
DVDs, CDs, signed books, and more.
“Our brothers and sisters in Christ living consecrated lives
make great contributions to our society through a vast
number of ministries,” said Archbishop Joseph E. Kurtz
of Louisville, Kentucky, president of USCCB. “They
teach in our schools, take care of the poor and the sick and
bring compassion and the love of Christ to those shunned
by society; others lead lives of prayer in contemplation
for the world.”
Pope Francis proclaimed 2015 a Year of Consecrated
Life, starting on the First Sunday of Advent, the weekend
of November 29, 2014, and ending on February 2, 2016,
the World Day of Consecrated life. The year also marks
the 50th anniversary of Perfectae Caritatis, a decree on
religious life, and Lumen Gentium, the Second Vatican
Council’s constitution on the Church. Its purpose, as
stated by the Vatican is to “make a grateful remembrance
of the recent past” while embracing “the future with
hope.”
The best part? It’s totally FREE! Sign up now at
AdventReflections.com!
Lighthouse CD Spotlight
A Journey Through Advent (Cycle B)
Get the most out of Advent by following along with Fr. Robert
Barron's homilies as he unpacks these profound scripture
readings:
Prayer for Year of Consecrated Life
O God, throughout the ages you have called women and
men to pursue lives of perfect charity through the
evangelical counsels of poverty, chastity and obedience.
During this Year of Consecrated Life, we give you thanks
for these courageous witnesses of faith and models of
inspiration. Their pursuit of holy lives teaches us to make
a more perfect offering of ourselves to you. Continue to
enrich your Church by calling forth sons and daughters
who, having found the pearl of great price, treasure the
Kingdom of Heaven above all things. Through our Lord
Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in
the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.
Amen.

2.2 De aquí aprendemos varias cosas. Primera: nuestro pecado no
destruye nuestro vínculo con Dios. Pecadores como somos,
seguimos estando en sus manos, y él sigue siendo nuestro
alfarero. El pecado no anula la soberanía de Dios. Segunda: el
que nos hizo es quien sabe rehacernos. No haya para el hombre
otra alternativa, porque no hay otro Creador. Tercera: si en las
consecuencias del pecado aparece la justicia, en la victoria sobre
el pecado brillan la gracia y la misericordia. Por ello no hay
modo de escapar de Dios. Como Él mismo dijo a santa Catalina
de Siena: "en mis manos están para justicia o misericordia".

REFLEXION
1. Una oración escuchada
1.1 ¡Qué grato es volver los ojos al pasado, a nuestro pasado en
Israel, porque todos hemos nacido a la fe gracias a Israel, y
reconocer nuestra voz en ese gemido del profeta: "ojalá rasgaras
el cielo y bajaras" (Is 64,1)! Así suplica el corazón oprimido por
la tristeza; así ruega el alma agotada en su esfuerzo; así se queja
el hombre que ha palpado su límite y sabe que nada le queda,
sino el horizonte de Dios.
1.2 Aparentemente se trata de un mensaje de desesperación, pero
es todo lo contrario. Cuando el hombre sólo cuenta con sus
recursos y estos se le terminan llega la desesperación; pero si ese
hombre cree en Dios, hace de su angustia un camino que le lleva
más allá de sí mismo. Pues tal es la condición del ser humano:
desesperarse en la cárcel de sí mismo, o trascender arrojándose
en las manos de su Creador. El profeta nos enseña a escoger.
3. Permanecer despiertos
3.1 Isaías pide la llegada de Dios; Jesucristo nos advierte sobre lo
incierto de su visita. Todo sucede como diciendo que mientras
unos sufren porque se retrasa otros viven como si nunca fuera a
venir el Señor. Así vive el mundo, y las dos cosas las hemos visto
una y otra vez.
3.2 La visita de Dios se parece a la de un ladrón porque arrebata
lo que creíamos poseer. Y la razón es que no somos poseedores
sino administradores, como Jesús enseñó en más de un lugar.
Para quien se cree dueño, Dios sólo puede ser un ladrón y su
llegada es como un robo. Para quien se siente administrador, en
cambio, la llegada de Dios es el término de sus fatigas; es el
momento de cesar en su labor y pasar al banquete. Como secede
en la Eucaristía.

2. Somos hechura de tus manos
2.1 Todo el adviento, que hoy empieza, va sellado con un tono de
bendita esperanza. La esperanza no es simple ilusión; la
esperanza no es simple proyecto. La esperanza nace en el borde
mismo en donde nace también la desesperanza, esto es, allí donde
sabemos cruda y profundamente qué somos y qué quisiéramos
ser. Desde la conciencia viva de lo que somos aprendemos la
distancia hasta lo que queremos ser. Las dos cosas se perciben en
la meditación de Isaías: "nosotros pecábamos y te éramos
siempre rebeldes" (Is 64,5): esto es lo que hemos sido; "sin
embargo, Señor, tú eres nuestro Padre" (Is 64,8): este es el
principio de lo que podemos ser.

The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
St. Genesius Productions Presents:
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever
December 13-14
Saint Genesius Productions youth theater group will perform
The Best Christmas Pageant Ever at Montini High School,
December 13-14. Thirty-six talented students from local
Catholic grade schools, including St. Pius X, Sacred Heart,
St. Alexander, St. Joseph, Kingswood Academy and Seton
Academy, will come together for this entertaining
performance.
In this hilarious Christmas classic, a couple struggling to put on
a church Christmas pageant is faced with casting the
Herdman kids—probably the most inventively awful kids in
history. You won’t believe the mayhem—and the fun—when
the Herdmans collide with the Christmas story head on!
Tickets are $5, and all seating is general admission. Tickets
can be ordered online at www.SaintGenesiusProductions.com.
Tickets are going fast, so order yours now!
