Dear Parishioners,
Second Sunday of Advent
Exhile
Both Isaiah and Peter had the task of comforting and encouraging their
communities during times of exile. The Israelites were in geographic exile from
Israel; to them this was, in effect, the same as being in exile from their God. The
early Christians, following the Resurrection, expected an immediate return of
Christ in glory; they, too, felt in “exile” as the delay of the Second Coming grew
longer and longer. All four of scripture’s authors today—Isaiah, the psalmist, Peter,
and Mark—hasten to help us see things in God’s terms, not ours. They want us to
know that we can never truly be exiled from God, or from God-among-us, since
we know that when the faithful are gathered, Christ has come into their midst. Instead, we are encouraged today to do what we can from our end to shorten the
time of our exile: to repent of our sins, to return our lives to the Lord, to live as people who seek the coming day of the Lord, when “kindness and truth shall meet;
justice and peace shall kiss” (Psalm 85:10).
Fr. Wilfredo Contreras
In Gratitude
Readings For Next Sunday Dec 14
On behalf of my family, I would like to express
my gratitude to all the parishioners for their
love, care, and spiritual support during the
period of mourning for my beloved little
sister's untimely death. Only God can repay
all of you for your spiritual work of mercy of consoling the
sorrowful. Please continue to uphold us in prayer. May the
Lord continue to bless our parish family.
The Contreras and Thomas Families
First Reading — As a garden makes its growth spring up,
so will God make justice spring up before all the nations
(Isaiah 61:1-2a, 10-11).
Psalm — My soul rejoices in my God
(Luke 1:46-50, 53-54).
Second Reading — Do not quench the Spirit. Do not despise prophetic utterances. Test everything; retain what is
good (1 Thessalonians 5:16-24).
Gospel — I am the voice of one crying out in the desert,
make straight the way of the Lord (John 1:6-8, 19-28).

Segundo Domingo
de Adviento
Estimados Feligreses
Exilio
Tanto Isaías como Pedro tenían la tarea de consolar y animar a sus
comunidades durante épocas de exilio. El de los israelitas era un exilio geográfico,
apartados de Israel; para ellos, en efecto, era lo mismo que estar exilados de su Dios.
Los primeros cristianos, seguido de la Resurrección, anticipaban una vuelta inmediata de Cristo en su gloria; también ellos se sentían “en exilio” cuando la demora de la
Segunda Venida se hacía cada vez más larga. Todos los cuatro autores de las Escrituras de hoy ‑Isaías, el salmista, Pedro y Marcos‑ se apresuran a ayudarnos a ver las
cosas desde el punto de vista de Dios, no el nuestro. Ellos quieren que sepamos que
en realidad nunca podemos estar exilados de Dios, o de Dios-entre-nosotros, ya que
sabemos que cuando se congregan los fieles, Cristo está presente en medio de ellos.
En vez, se nos anima hoy a hacer lo que podamos de nuestra parte, para acortar el
tiempo del exilio: arrepentirnos de nuestros pecados, volver nuestra vida al Señor,
vivir como personas que buscan la llegada del día del Señor, cuando “La misericordia y la fidelidad se encuentran, la justicia y la paz se besan” (Salmo 85 [84]:11).
