Saint John the Evangelist
“Better to do something imperfectly than to do
nothing flawlessly!”
... “Rejoice in the Lord always!” is the theme of
this Third Sunday of Advent, traditionally called
Gaudete Sunday. Rose colored vestments may be
worn, and the third candle on the Advent Wreath
is rose colored, highlighting a joyful mood as we
continue our spiritual preparation for Christmas!
... Pope Francis inaugurated the Jubilee Year of
Mercy on Tuesday (8), the feast of the Immaculate
Conception. “This extraordinary year is a gift of
grace! To pass through this Holy Door means to
rediscover the infinite mercy of the Father who welcomes everyone and goes out personally to encounter each of them. It is He who seeks us! It is He who
comes to encounter us! This will be a year in which
we will grow even more convinced of God’s mercy!”
... Congratulations to our neighbor, Saint Thomas
More, Oceanside, and their Pastor, Father Mike
Ratajczak, formerly an Associate here at Saint John,
on the dedication of their new church building this
coming Wednesday (16). The door of their new
church has been designated as the ‘Holy Door of
Mercy’ for the North County! Make a trip to ‘pass
through’, during this Jubilee Year of Mercy!
... Religious women and men generally work long
past the age of 65 . For as long as they are physically able, they visit the sick, tutor children, and volunteer in parishes and among refugee populations.
There are 35,279 retired religious priests, brothers
and sisters relying on our support. Please give generously today to the special collection for the Retirement Fund for Religious! Share in the care!
... Our Knights of Columbus have great Christmas
Trees, of all sizes, for sale on our lower parking lot,
weekdays from 5:00pm to 8:00pm, Saturdays from
8:00am to 8:00pm, and Sundays from 10:00am to
8:00pm. All the proceeds go to charity.
... Our Saint John Advent Penance Service is this
Monday (14) at 7:00pm, and our Seniors Penance
Service on Thursday (17) at 11:00am. Be sure to
join us as we begin this Jubilee Year of Mercy.
... Penance Services this week also include Nativity,
Rancho Santa Fe, on Tuesday (15) at 7:00pm, Saint
James, Solana Beach, also on Tuesday (15) at
6:30pm, and Saint Elizabeth Seton, Carlsbad, on
Wednesday (16) at 7:00pm.
... Olivia Reynaga and our ‘Guadalupanos’ have
freshly-made tamales available for us after Sunday
morning Masses today (13), at the gazebo! Yes!

Christmas spirit! Our 6th - 8th Grade Christmas
Program is this Tuesday (15) at 6:30pm. Enjoy!

... 79 families contributed a total of $2,597.00 to
our Building Fund.
... Each Christmas, Saint John parishioners seek to
assist needy families from our midst with baskets of
food and toys. Donations of food and toys are again
needed and most welcome. Collection boxes are at
the back of the church. We would appreciate all
contributions by this Monday (14).
... If you are aware of a family in need of assistance
this Christmas please complete a Basket Application Form on their behalf before Monday (14) at
the Parish Office.
... John Derrico, from our Saint Vincent de Paul Society, and his great team, plan to distribute Christmas Baskets to our needy families this week, with
the support and assistance of so many!
... Our church Christmas Flowers are a wonderful
way to remember and honor our loved ones, living
and deceased, over the entire Christmas season.
Special envelopes are available in the packets
mailed home, and at the back of the church.
... Matt Williamson, Adan Altamirano, and Franco
Aguilar did a great job in putting up our outdoor
Christmas lights and decorations, and in keeping
them alight and sparkling!
... Congratulations to our parents and their newly
baptized infants: Bethlehem Deken, Audriana Graciano-Punaro, Davey Marcial, Makayla Marcial,
Marie Morales, Michael Sanchez, Koa Scanlon, Hazel Valdovinos, Christopher Venegas, and Conor
Watson, and to Haley Johnson and Jack Johnson

Wednesday (16), at 7:00pm in the Hall.

our freedom to continually right our wrongs, and
make new persons of ourselves!”

Saint John the Evangelist
CELEBRA
Este domingo, Dios canta y se regocija por nosotros.
Leemos hoy en Sofonías que Dios “se llenará de júbilo
por tu causa, como en
los
días
de
fiesta” (Sofonías 3:18).
Sabemos mucho de
cantar en festivales.
Ya nuestros oídos
resuenan con los cantos
y villancicos que
anticipan la época
navideña.
Pablo nos recuerda la fuente de este doble regocijo:
Dios, tu poderoso salvador, está en medio de ti (en
palabras de Sofonías). Por ser así, nos dice Pablo,
podemos alegrarnos y estar en paz. No tenemos que
inquietarnos, porque la paz de Dios custodiará nuestros
corazones y pensamientos.
Un villancico antiguo representa la Navidad como “el
día de mi baile” y nos urge a tomar parte en el baile. ¿Por
qué todo el regocijo? Porque “el Señor está cerca” nos
recuerda Pablo (Filipenses 4:5). Entonces apunta a la otra
razón para el baile: el amanecer de la promesa de paz, la
paz que sobrepasa toda inteligencia, y que ya está al
alcance de la mano.

AGUARDAMOS SU VENIDA
Los cristianos latinos tenemos unos cinco siglos en
nuestra trayectoria de fe y como todo cristiano
aguardamos la segunda
venida del Mesías, Jesús.
Nuestra espera forma parte
de dos milenios de
cristianos que buscan verlo
llegar en las nubes.
Desde el siglo VII la
oración oficial de la Iglesia
clama el retorno de Cristo
con las exclamaciones llamadas las “Antífonas Oh”.
Estas llaman a Jesús pidiéndole que venga bajo los títulos
de Emmanuel, Sabiduría celestial, Señor de gran poder,
Vara de Isaí, Llave de David, Alba de la luz, y Deseo y
Rey de gentes, y algunos más. Estos refranes se usan aún
todavía hoy durante los días 17 al 23 de diciembre, y
unidas en un acróstico latino forman las palabras ero cras
(estaré mañana), como respuesta a la petición cristiana.
Eventualmente en el siglo X o XI estas antífonas fueron
unidas en el canto gregoriano Veni, veni Emmanuel (Oh
ven, oh ven Emmanuel).
Este Adviento mientras cantamos las antiguas
antífonas hay que preguntarnos si de veras estamos listos
para el regreso del Hijo del Hombre que viene para juzgar
a vivos y muertos.
TERCER DOMINGO DE ADVIENTO
ORACIÓN PARA EL ADVIENTO
Que el Dios de paz nos haga totalmente santos.
Que conserve nuestro espíritu sin mancha, cuerpo y
alma, hasta la llegada de nuestro Señor, Jesucristo.
El que nos invita es siempre fiel,
Dios nuestro Padre.
Vivamos en esperanza gozosa de
la revelación de la gloria de nuestro
Dios y Salvador, Jesucristo. Que sea
glorificado por siempre.
Ven Señor Jesús. Que tu gracia esté en todos nosotros.
SEVICIO PENITENCIAL
En esta semana, habrá confesiones en la iglesia de la
Natividad, en Rancho Santa Fe, el Martes (15) a las
7:00 pm. También en la iglesia de Saint James, en

En la iglesia de Saint Elizabeth Seton, Carlsbad, las
