The Liturgy of the Day Welcome to Advent, the beginning of another year in the Church! How quickly time has flown this autumn! Here we are, starting our annual preparation for Christmas, even though the television ads for Christmas began a month ago. How do we reconcile these two worlds? How can our Advent spiritual preparation acknowledge and even benefit from the Christmas frenzy around us? Maybe it is the alarm bell that we need to hear, to alert us to the coming of our Lord. a la Liturgia del Día . ¡Bienvenidos al Adviento, el comienzo de otro año en la Iglesia! ¡Cómo ha volado el tiempo este otoño! Aquí estamos, empezando nuestra preparación anual para la Navidad, aunque los comerciales navideños en la tele comenzaron ya hace un mes. ¿Cómo reconciliar estos dos mundos? ¿Cómo puede nuestra preparación espiritual del Adviento reconocer y aun beneficiarse de la histeria que nos rodea? Tal vez sea la alarma que necesitamos escuchar para advertirnos de la venida del Señor. First Sunday of Advent CONTACT INFORMATION November 30, 2014 Parish Staff—803-359-4391 Rev. Raymond J.

HOMILIA DE HOY Proyecto de Homilía • Para los corazones compasivos y llenos de fe, el comercialismo ansioso que precede la Navidad en el mundo secular tiene bastante afinidad con los anhelos sagrados del Adviento. Israel anhela la venida del Mesías; la Iglesia anhela que vuelva el Señor. Algunos corazones se emocionan ansiando las reuniones festivas; otros se apenan por los seres queridos distantes o difuntos. En algunos hogares el cinismo de los adultos se transforma en asombro a medida que el entusiasmo va creciendo en el corazón de los niños. En otros hogares unos padres están nerviosos y atemorizados de que las esperanzas inocentes se conviertan en deseos insatisfechos debido a los tiempos difíciles. • ¿Cómo hemos llegado nosotros a este Adviento? ¿Como el “barro” de Isaías, poniéndonos confiadamente en las manos del Alfarero, con la seguridad de que somos la obra amorosa de Dios todavía en curso? O llegamos como el “trapo asqueroso” y menos agradable del que habla Isaías, empapados de pecados y dudas, y sintiendo una inutilidad que no podemos sacudir? ¿Tal vez “marchitos como las hojas” y las esperanzas congeladas por las corrientes de la confusión, los vientos climáticos y los vendavales de los conflictos? Aun cuando tiene que lidiar con las contiendas y desavenencias de los corintios, Pablo se mantiene increíblemente positivo: Dios “ha enriquecido con abundancia” a la comunidad cristiana y sus miembros “no carecen de ningún don”. Es más, Jesús “los hará permanecer irreprochables hasta el fin, hasta el día de su advenimiento”. • El consejo de Jesús para el Adviento acopla el anhelo de Isaías y la confianza de Pablo en un doble desafío: “Velen”, pero también “estén preparados”. Siervos que trabajan en las áreas asignadas. La mejor manera de prepararnos para la segunda venida de Jesús es prepararnos para la venida diaria de Jesús. En la oración silenciosa del Adviento anhelemos la segunda venida de Jesús. Pero en las tantas ocupaciones que preceden la Navidad, estemos conscientes de que Jesús ya está aquí, en espera de nuestro servicio y entrega dentro de la familia y a los amigos, al vecino y al extraño.

Hispanic Ministry Claudia Garcia—[email protected] Ana Andrew—[email protected] **Mark your calendar Middle School Youth Group meets every Wednesday for Fun and Activities at 6:00 p.m. in the Parish Hall.** First Sunday of Advent WHAT’S HAPPENING Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, It has been a while since I wrote in the bulletin asking for feedback on my idea of removing the trailers and making the rectory building the Parish Office. I received a lot of feedback. Also, in that time period, the number of students in our Sunday School classes has grown greatly. At the end of the last school year, in early May, we had around 200 students in kindergarten through eighth grade. Now we have around 290 students. Our youth group has grown as well. The parish has been trying to make our high school youth a priority, and a year ago we put a large sum of money into the “youth space” in the trailers. So, in light of these things, the plans have changed. At this point, I think we need to concentrate on the Church building, so we can do the work needed for God’s house first before anything else. We will put on the new roof that has been needed for a while due to hail damage, etc. We will also repair the sheetrock inside the church that was not installed correctly when the building was constructed and is now showing the obvious problems. We will also move the tabernacle to the center on a new marble altar, and introduce some color into the church to enhance and warm up our worship space. While we are concentrating on the church building, a new longrange planning committee will begin to develop a master plan for the parish campus. WE NEED TO GROW WITH A MASTER PLAN from now on! This is very important! So, in 2015 we will concentrate on bringing God’s house up to its potential, especially performing the needed repairs. While we are doing so, we will plan for our future November 30, 2014 needs. After your good feedback, and the growth in numbers of our youth, this seems to be the best plan of action for the immediate future. Thank you very much for your prayers and support. I will do my best to keep our parishioners informed on the various projects that will be taking place in the new year (church roof, sheetrock, church interior, columbarium construction.) Please continue to give me any and all feedback, as well as your own suggestions and concerns. May we work and pray together to be Our Good Lord’s instruments in building up His Church in this little corner of God’s vineyard, Corpus Christi parish! May God bless you richly!

Our Franciscan friar ,Father Kevin Cronin, was very happy with our good turnouts. He estimates that we had 350 people a day. Pax et bonum (that is the Franciscan motto which is Latin for “peace and all good things.”) This is the day in Mexican history when the Blessed Mother appeared to Saint Juan Diego. In Mexico City a catholic church was eventually built on Tepeyac Hill, the site of her appearances in 1538.
