PASTOR’S Reflection
B
reaking Open the Word of
God
Dear brothers and sisters, we are now
in the last week of Advent and the
readings move from hope to fact; from
promises to fulfillment. Just a few days
away from the big celebration, today’s
Gospel announces: “This is how the
birth of Jesus came about.” The main
characters in this scene: primarily,
Mary, the Mother; but also Joseph, her
spouse, who found that, before they
lived together, Mary had conceived
“through the Holy Spirit.”
The mention of the Holy Spirit makes
it clear: God is present here. It is not a
demanding presence, for it happens in
the everyday, and at the same time
extraordinary, reality of a pregnant
woman, in whose womb life blossoms.
Despite the mundanity and humbleness
of this presence, God’s presence in our
lives is always awe-inspiring. Our
restlessness when faced with the
unexpected and mysterious, and which,
moreover, wipes away all our plans, the
“fear of God” we feel, takes on a
different meaning. The Word of God
shows this very clearly today when it
contrasts the attitude of Ahaz in
Isaiah’s prophesy, with that of Joseph,
in the Gospel reading where Matthew
presents the fulfillment of the same
prophesy.
The first kind of fear is displayed by
Ahaz, with plain dread. God wishes to
manifest Himself, but we, like Ahaz
did, seek and find excuses to avoid
Him, excuses that might even sound
righteous like “I will not tempt the
Lord”, but deep down the hide a
rejection to the closeness of God-withus. Rejection and excuses these which
are merely excuses to try and prevent
God’s plan, which moves forward in
spite of everything.
Jesus is about to be born. It is not just
a remembrance of what happened more
than two thousand years ago. Jesus
want to continue being born, becoming
God-with-us”, becoming close to many
who know nothing about Him. The
signs of His presence are everyday
things, yet extraordinary: life blooming,
water cleansing us, bread shared,
friendships were there were only
strangers before. Joseph models today a
preacher of justice for us. An example
of the way we need to respond to God’s
will of being born among us. First of
all, we should avoid acting like Ahaz,
finding excuses and placing obstacles,
ignoring the signs and preventing the
close presence of God. In the second
place, we need to be able, like Joseph,
of discovering the presence of God in
ordinary,
everyday
things
and
understand those dreams which speak
to us about trust, welcoming and
acceptance. This means being open to
hearing God, and willing to obey Him.
W
alking together like
brothers and sisters:
We continue this path in Advent,
coming closer to Christmas with a
clearer conscience of what Jesus’ birth
means to us. Some of us have already
made resolutions to change some life
attitudes, that we may free the way for
Baby Jesus to be born in our hearts.
We just lived two wonderful
celebrations: Our Lady of Guadalupe
last Monday and Simbang Gabi this
weekend.
Tomorrow Monday we host the
Advent Reconciliation Service, another
opportunity to reconcile with God, who
is always waiting for us in merciful
love, ready to forgive our sins and give
us His light so we can live lives of
service to others in fullness.
Brothers and sisters, let us continue
helping each other, and as a
community, to prepare a welcoming
place for Baby Jesus who comes to give
us life. This week we will celebrate
three Masses in preparation for
Christmas on Wednesday, Thursday
and Friday at 7pm. Please join us. Look
on page 9 for the schedule for
Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, And the
Solemnity of Mary next week.
Come Lord Jesus,
maranatha!

Perfect Happiness
—————Fr. Mario Rodriguez, MSpS—————
Fr. Felix was a man of inexhaustible hope, great priestly zeal and profound happiness. I think these three
qualities define who he was very clearly. I particularly like the last one: a man of happiness. It is very difficult to be
profoundly happy man or woman. We know how to live happiness as a façade, but to live it profoundly is very
difficult. I long to live it day after day, but it is not easy.
I think Fr. Felix was able to live his life that way because his happiness was deeply related to the cross and
prayer. The cross meant for him an opportunity to live intimately united to Jesus Christ and he was able to find the joy
of living all moments of suffering for Jesus; his life was a constant offering of love to his beloved. It seems to me that
Fr. Felix learned this on his knees, in prayer and contemplation of the crucified Christ he was able to find the value of
Happiness.
Today’s world shows many different paths to obtain happiness, but Felix understood that his path was his own
FAITH. The happiness of living IN, FOR and WITH GOD. Living in God each moment of his life. Living for God
through the total surrender of his life. Living with God each moment of his life helped him to find the SECRET OF
PERFECT HAPPINESS.
I would very much like to invite you to
live life more happily. Don’t ever grow tired of
being happy, and don’t look for reasons to be
sad. Don’t wish to live in depression, but in the
deep happiness that stems from realizing that
JESUS gives meaning to your life. LIVE
HAPPILY FOR YOUR SAKE AND THAT OF
OTHERS. Allow Jesus to be born in you.
La Perfecta Alegría
El P. Félix era un hombre de esperanza
incansable, de gran celo pastoral y profunda
alegría. Creo que estas tres cualidades lo
definen muy bien a él. Me gusta mucho la
última: hombre de alegría. Qué difícil es ser un
hombre o una mujer profundamente alegre;
sabemos vivir la alegría de los labios para
afuera, pero vivirla profundamente es difícil.
Yo sueño con vivirla día a día, pero no es fácil.
Creo que el P. Félix pudo vivirla
porque su alegría estaba relacionada profundamente con la cruz y la oración. La cruz como oportunidad de vivir
profundamente unido a Cristo Jesús y que en todos los momentos de sufrimiento encontraba el placer de vivirlo por
Jesús; su vida es una constante ofrenda de amor a su amado. Veo que el P. Félix lo aprendió de rodillas, en la oración y
contemplación de Cristo crucificado supo encontrar el valor de la Alegría.
El mundo actual nos propone muchos caminos para llegar a la Alegría, pero Félix supo encontrar ese camino
en su FE. La alegría de vivirse EN, PARA Y CON DIOS. Vivirse en Dios cada momento de su existencia. Vivirse para
Dios con la entrega total de la vida. Vivirse con Dios en cada instante de su vida es encontrar el SECRETO DE LA
PERFECTA ALEGRIA.
Me gustaría invitarte a vivir la vida más alegre. No te canses de ser feliz y no busques motivos para estar triste.
No desees vivir en depresión, sino en alegría profunda que nace de encontrar en JESÚS el sentido de tu existencia.
VIVE ALEGRE PARA LOS DEMAS Y PARA TI MISMO. Deja nacer a Jesús en ti.

REFLEXION del Párroco
M
nos hablan de confianza, acogida y aceptación. Esto significa
estar abiertos a la escucha y dispuestos a la obediencia a Dios.
editando la Palabra
de Dios:
Queridos hermanos y hermanas,
ya estamos en la última semana
de Adviento y las Escrituras
pasan de las esperanzas a los
hechos, de las promesas, a los
cumplimientos. A pocos días de
la gran fiesta el Evangelio de hoy
nos avisa; “Cristo vino al mundo de la siguiente manera”.
Los actores principales de ese nacimiento: ante todo, María,
la madre, pero también José, su esposo, que se encontró con
que, antes de vivir juntos, María “ha concebido por obra del
Espíritu Santo”.
La alusión al Espíritu Santo lo dice todo; Dios se ha
hecho presente. No es una presencia exigente, pues se
manifiesta en la realidad cotidiana y, al mismo tiempo,
extraordinaria de una mujer embarazada, en cuyo seno florece
la vida. A pesar de la cotidianidad y humildad con que se
presenta, esta presencia de Dios en nuestra vida es siempre
algo impresionante. Esa inquietud ante lo inesperado y
misterioso y que, además, nos rompe los esquemas, el “temor
de Dios”, puede ser de calidad muy distinta. La Palabra de
Dios lo presenta hoy con claridad, en el extremo contraste
que se da entre las actitudes de Ajaz, en el texto profético de
Isaías, y de José, en el Evangelio en el cual presenta Mateo el
cumplimiento de aquella profecía.
La primera forma de temor, la representa Ajaz, con el
miedo. Dios desea manifestarse, pero nosotros, como Ajaz,
buscamos y encontramos excusas para evitarlo, excusas que
pueden incluso sonar muy bien, excusas casi piadosas como
“no quiero tentar al Señor”, pero que, en el fondo, esconden
el rechazo de la cercanía de Dios, del Dios con nosotros.
Rechazo y excusas que no son más que excusas que tratan de
estorbar e impedir el plan de Dios, que pese a todo, va
adelante.
Jesús va a nacer. No se trata sólo del recuerdo de lo que
sucedió hace algo más de dos mil años. Jesús quiere seguir
naciendo, haciéndose “Dios con nosotros”, cercano de
muchos que no saben nada de él. Los signos de su presencia
son cotidianos y, a la vez, extraordinarios, la vida que nace,
el agua que nos limpia, el pan que compartimos, la amistad
en la que nos incluimos los que antes éramos extraños. José
es para nosotros hoy un maestro de justicia, un modelo de
cómo reaccionar a esa voluntad de Dios de nacer entre
nosotros. Ante todo, hemos de evitar ser como Ajaz, que
busca excusas y pone obstáculos, no quiere ver los signos y
trata de impedir la presencia cercana de Dios. En segundo
lugar, ser capaces, como José, de descubrir la presencia de
Dios en lo ordinario y cotidiano y entender los sueños que
C
aminando juntos como hermanos:
Continuamos iluminado nuestro caminar, en este
adviento, donde nos vamos acercando a la Navidad con una
mayor conciencia de lo que implica el nacimiento de Jesús.
Algunos ya hemos hecho promesas de cambiar algunas
actitudes de vida para dejar espacio al niñito Jesús para que
nazca en nuestro corazón.
Dos celebraciones muy bonitas tuvieron lugar con la
Fiesta la Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe el lunes y de Simbang
Gabi jueves, viernes y sábado.
Esta semana tendremos nuestro servicio penitencial de
adviento, una oportunidad más para reconciliarnos con Dios,
quien nos espera con su amor misericordioso para
perdonarnos nuestros pecados, y darnos su Luz para vivir
plenamente nuestra vida en servicio a los demás.
Hermanos, continuemos como comunidad parroquial
preparando un lugar acogedor al Niño Jesús que viene a
darnos vida. Celebraremos Misas de preparación para la
Natividad del Señor este miércoles, jueves y viernes a las
7pm. Te esperamos.
Busca en la página 4 el horario de Misas de Navidad y
Solemnidad de María, especialmente en español son
diferentes a lo que estamos acostumbrados.
¡Ven Señor no tardes!

A WAITING HARVEST
Vocation Awareness
Are you involved in your parish?
One of the ways you can help your
discernment process is to be actively
involved in your Parish and learn to love
the Sacred Liturgy.
“The Catholic Liturgy is extraordinarily
beautiful, and when it is reverently and
authentically celebrated, it cultivates
priestly vocations. Every priestly vocation
is centered on the Holy Eucharist, so when
young men are involved in the liturgical life
of the church, they experience a deeper
appreciation for the gift of the Eucharist.
Quite naturally, they begin to envision
themselves actually celebrating the sacred
liturgy
seminary. They served as altar servers,
lectors, Eucharistic Ministers, sacristans
and youth directors. Some taught Sunday
school or RCIA and others visited the sick
or imprisoned. A man called to diocesan
priesthood normally finds himself attracted
to parish life. If you are not currently
involved in your parish, the liturgy is a
great place to start!”
From the Book
“To Save a Thousand Souls”
Fr. Brett Brannen
This week please pray
for Thomas Tran,
Diocesan Seminarian.
He’s attending Theology
classes at Mount Angel
Seminary.
Almost all of the seminarians I have
known through the years were actively
involved in their parishes prior to coming to
WHAT KINDS OF PEOPLE
become priests, sisters or brothers?
Are they people who don’t relate well with other
people? No. They are people who love others —
people who find real satisfaction chatting with a
93-year-old parishioner, holding the hand of a
cancer patient, listening to the troubles of a
streetwise teen.
They are people with the courage to touch lives,
hearts and souls in a high-tech, unchurched
world.
Are you that kind of person?

Y o u t h Section
Freed through Reconciliation
When we look at the door with the chains on
it, there is no way for us to enter. It seems
almost impossible. The ironic thing is that we’re
the ones responsible for the chains. Even
though we have put the chains on, we do not
know how to take them off again.
Lucky for us God doesn’t leave us here, out
in the cold. He has made a way for us to get rid
of the chains and get into the party.
It is called the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
What it is: The Lord calls us to Himself and
invites us to have a share in His grace, which
we receive through our Baptism. The grace
that we receive helps us to do the good and to
avoid evil. Though Christ won for us eternal
life, we still live with the inclination to sin
(known as concupiscence). This struggle is
part of the life of every Christian. St. Peter
shows us an example of this re-conversion.
During the Lord’s Passion. Members of the
crowd identified Peter as Jesus’ follower and
friend. After witnessing the torture of Jesus and
fearing for his own life, Peter denies his
affiliation with Jesus—denying his belief in
Christ. After the Resurrection, Jesus returns to
the twelve apostles and privately speaks with
Peter. Jesus asks Peter if he loves Him three
times. Peter affirms his love for the Lord and
Christ instructs Peter on how he is to then lead
his life—by tending the flock that Christ has
called to Himself. This call from the Lord holds
the implication of a repaired relationship and a
renewed commitment to the will of the Lord.
When we act without regard to the laws and
statutes of the Natural Law, which governs us
all, we are acting contrary to the will of the
Father, the decrees of Christ, and
consequently against the rest of the mystical
Body of Christ.
Typology
LifeTeen
We call this sin. Sin is essentially “an
offense against God, a rupture of
communion with Him. At the same time
it damages communion with the
Church.” Because of this dual offense,
it is fitting that Christ provides, through
the Church, a sacramental method of
reparation for sin. God alone forgives
the sin of man.
How it’s done: The Sacrament of
Reconciliation, like all other
sacraments, requires several things to take
place in order for the effects of the sacrament
to take place. It has also gone through many
stylistic changes throughout the centuries, as
have all of the sacraments. For the sacrament
to take place, the sinner must willingly come
forward and desire to make amends with the
Lord and with the community—the mystical
Body of Christ. He must truly be sorry for his
sin and orally confess his sins. Contrition is
needed. The soul must experience sorrow for
the offense against the Lord and desire to
resolve not to sin again. This renewed love for
God and the despising of the sin specifically
because it offends the Lord, is known as
“perfect” contrition.
The two types of particular sin (the
individual’s own sins as opposed to Original
Sin) are mortal and venial. Aquinas speaks of
sin as a “sickness of the soul.” A venial sin is a
sickness that does not directly threaten the life
of the individual—the ultimate end of the soul.
A person that dies with a venial sin on their
soul is able to attain salvation.
The second type of sin is called mortal. It is
the sickness of the soul that leads directly to
the “death” of the individual’s soul. It separates
the soul from the promise of eternal life. The
Sacrament of Reconciliation is particularly
important in the forgiveness of mortal sins;
Therefore, during the sacrament, words and
the intent are the matter of the sacrament—
that thing that needs to be present as the
substance of the sacrament. In the case of
Confession, the substance is the words and
the remorse—the confession. The confession
of mortal sins must be confessed in both kind
and number. After mortal sins are confessed to
the priest, the representative of Christ and the
Church who holds the same apostolic authority
given to the apostles, the sinner’s venial sins
are to be confessed.
Once all of the sins the individual can recall
are confessed, the priest then may offer some
pastoral guidance before assigning a penance
and giving the absolution. A penance is what
we do to make amends for the spiritual wrong
that we have committed. The priest then gives
the absolution by saying the words “I absolve
you in the name of the Father, and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit” (ego te absolvo). The
Sacrament of Reconciliation does exactly what
it implies—it reconciles us with the Lord; it
heals our relationship with God and with His
Church.

Women’s Fellowship is on Christmas Break! We

Christmas and Happy New Year. We will be back on

Hall with The “Book of Revelation chapters 6 and 7!”
Bible Study
We are on Christmas break for the rest of
December. Merry Christmas! We return January
3rd with the Walking Towards Eternity series.
Come pray the Rosary for Life with fellow parishioners
every Tuesday at noon. All are welcome. We meet by the
image of the Immaculate Conception.
Your Home Visitation/Grief Ministry Team now has the
lending library ready to go! We have been telling you
about this project for some time, and we are happy to
announce that you can now check out books on how to deal
with grief and loss and help your family cope with difficult
transitions in their lives. To check out a book, fill out the
card inside the front cover of the book you want, and put the
card in the holder provided.
We will continue to add to the library and provide this much
needed resource for you and your family. Be patient as the
project gets underway please. Of course, we will accept
donations of books on the topics of grief, loss, bereavement.
Please check out this new resource located in the
Fellowship Hall.
As always, we are here to serve you and your family
during times or grief/loss as well as homebound and
suffering.
