November 29, 2015 STEWARDSHIP OF PRAYER AND REFLECTION Fittingly, this Advent's scriptures open with Jeremiah proclaiming God's promise of justice and security for people oppressed and warweary. Paul bids Christians increase and abound in love for one another and for all. Finally, after naming terrifying natural cataclysms (and we might add human terrorism), Jesus warns us to avoid both self-centered diversions and selfconsuming anxieties. Instead, disciples should confidently anticipate Jesus' coming with redeeming mercy, and prayerfully attend to Jesus' presence among us already in those who need God's mercy and our care. Apropiadamente, las Escrituras de este Adviento se abren con la proclamación de Jeremías sobre la promesa de justicia y seguridad para el pueblo oprimido y agobiado por la guerra. Pablo le pide a los cristianos que el amor aumente y abunde entre ellos y hacia todos. Finalmente, después de mencionar unos cataclismos naturales aterradores, Jesús nos advierte evitar tanto las desviaciones egoístas como las ansiedades que nos consumen. Los discípulos deben, en vez, esperar la venida de Jesús con una actitud de misericordia que sea capaz de venerar a Jesús presente ya entre nosotros en aquellos que necesitan de la misericordia de Dios y de nuestra atención.

Our Jesse Tree will be in the entrance of the Church beginning this weekend November 28 & 29. (Jesse is the father of King David and ancestor of Jesus Christ. Read Isaiah 11:1). The line of Jesse gave humankind the Greatest Gift – Jesus. The cards on our Jesse Tree represent our brothers and sisters in Christ who are in need this Christmas. Please take a gift card or two on the tree, return the requested (wrapped) gifts and place under the tree no later than the Third Sunday of Advent, December 13, 2015. Giving is a reflection of our love for each other, which, in turn, is a reflection of Jesus’ love for us. Thank you for sharing Christ’s love. “And then they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.” (Mark 13:26) Nuestro Árbol de Jesé estará en la entrada de la Iglesia comenzando este fin de semana 28 y 29 de Noviembre. (Jesé era el padre del Rey David y antepasado de Jesucristo). De la línea de Jesé la humanidad recibió el mayor regalo – Jesús. Las tarjetas en nuestro Árbol de Jesé representan nuestros hermanos y hermanas en Cristo que necesitan ayuda esta Navidad. Favor de tomar las tarjetas y pongan los regalos envueltos debajo del árbol nos mas tarde del Tercer Domingo de Adviento, 13 de Diciembre de 2015. Gracias por compartir el amor de Dios. STRAKE JESUIT OPEN HOUSE – December 3rd @ 7:00 PM Sanctuary Lights, Hosts and Wine for the week of November 15 were donated in Thanksgiving by Robert & Isabelle Saenz We will all have that day when we are standing before God and our life is played out like a movie. When this happens and God asks each of us, “What have you done with the gifts that I have given you?” How will you respond? Para que continuemos a desarrollar y cultivar nuestros regalos y los demos de vuelta aumentados. "Verán entonces al Hijo del hombre venir en las nubes con gran poder y gloria." (Marcos 13:26) Todos llegaremos al día en que nos pararemos frente a Dios y nuestra vida pasara frente a nosotros como una película. Cuando esto suceda y Dios nos pregunte a cada uno de nosotros, "¿Que has hecho con los regalos que te he dado?" ¿Cómo responderá usted? Based on over 450 years of Jesuit tradition, Strake Jesuit forms young men into intellectual, compassionate, spiritual and responsible Men for Others.

Quote for the Week... “Worshipping is stripping ourselves of our idols, even the most hidden ones, and choosing the Lord as the center, as the highway of our lives.” ~ Pope Francis
