throughout the world.
Fourth Sunday of Advent
December 20, 2015
A NEW ORDER
“O, Little Town of Bethlehem.” A Philadelphia
clergyman named Phillips Brooks penned these popular
words back in the mid-1800s, but the prophet Micah
could have used them first. Micah knew that from small
packages great treasures come. In today’s first reading,
he knew that from tiny Bethlehem would come the
Lord.
The writer in Hebrews explains that Christ came to
us to do the will of God by establishing a new order and
by becoming our perfect sacrifice. And Luke tells us
that Elizabeth and John, the infant in her womb,
understand that great and wondrous things are at hand
with the coming of the Lord.
This is the Fourth Sunday of Advent. Soon we
celebrate anew the fruit of Mary’s womb. As we are
told in Hebrews, Jesus’ new order is being established
even today. And as Micah proclaims, his greatness is
reaching even now to the ends of the earth.

Un Mensaje del
Pastor
Merry Christmas!
This week we celebrate Jesus' Birth. It is the event that made
visible to the world the fulfillment of all of our desires.
And, of course, we are still in need of more grace and
mercy. We are still in need of Christ to be born into our
world. We are still in need of light in the darkness of our fears
and doubts. In Christ is the fulfillment of the promise given to
us in Numbers 24:17, "A star shall arise from Jacob and from
the roots of Israel shall spring a royal scepter." As we enter
these final days of preparation for Christmas, I want to share
with you an except from a poem describing Jesus as the Star:
From a Poem by, Boris Pasternak.
"Among them, unseen until now,
More dimly lit than an oil lamp
Hung in a watchman's window,
A Star shone in the road to Bethlehem.
It rose in the sky like a haystack aflame,
Of fiery straw and thatch.
All creation shuddered in awe,
Astonished by this new Star.
Its scarlet nimbus grew wider and deeper-A portent for all to see;
Three stargazers saw the blaze from afar;
They hurried after its beckoning light."
Feliz Navidad!
Esta semana celebramos el Nacimiento de Jesús. Es el evento
que hace visible al mundo el cumplimiento de todos nuestros
deseos.
Y, por supuesto, todavía estamos en necesidad de más gracia y
misericordia. Todavía estamos en la necesidad de que Cristo
nazca en nuestro mundo. Todavía estamos en la necesidad de la
luz en la oscuridad de nuestros miedos y dudas. En Cristo es el
cumplimiento de la promesa dada a nosotros en Números
24:17, “Una estrella se alza desde Jacob, un cetro surge de
Israel.” Al entrar en estos últimos días de preparación para la
Navidad, quiero compartir con ustedes un excepto de un poema
que describe a Jesús como la Estrella:
Poema de, Boris Pasternak
“Entre ellos, sin ser visto hasta ahora,
Más sutilmente iluminado que una lámpara de aceite
Colgado en la ventana de un vigilante,
Una estrella brilló en el camino a Belén.
Se elevo en el cielo como un pajar en llamas,
De paja ardiente y barda.
Toda la creación se estremeció en el temor,
Asombrado por esta nueva Estrella.
Su aureola de escarlata creció más ancha y profunda—
Un signo para que todos los vean;
Tres astrónomos vieron el incendio desde la distancia;
Se apresuraron tras la señal de su luz.”
I pray that all of us keep our eyes and desires fixed on Jesus
alone and hurry after the beckoning Light!
Rezo para que todos nosotros mantegamos nuestros ojos y
deseos fijos en sólo Jesús y se den prisa trás la señal de la Luz!
Merry Christmas!
Feliz Navidad!
God bless you,
Fr. Conoboy
Que Dios te bendiga,
Padre Conoboy

STEWARDSHIP OF TREASURE
December 20, 2015 - 4th Sunday of Advent
“For behold, when the voice of your greeting came to my
ears, the babe in my womb leaped for joy.” (Luke 1:44)
When you hear the scripture readings and Gospel reading
each Sunday, do you “leap for joy?” If not, don’t blame
the lecturer or priest, rather look inside yourself. Do you
prepare for Mass each week or do you just show up and
expect to be entertained?
"Te digo que tan pronto como llegó a mis oídos la voz de
tu saludo, saltó de alegría la criatura que llevo en el
vientre." (Lucas 1:44)
Cuando escucha la lectura de las escrituras y el Evangelio
cada domingo, ¿usted "salta de alegría"? Si no es así, no
culpe al lector o al sacerdote sino que mírese a usted
mismo. ¿Se prepara para la misa todas las semanas o solo
llega a la iglesia esperando que lo entretengan?
