Today’s Gospel Reflection
1st Reading: Jer 33:14-16 * Psalm 25:4-5, 8-10, 14 *
2nd Reading: 1 Thes 3:12 — 4:2 * Gospel: Lk 21:25-28, 34-36
THE COMING KINGDOM
Jeremiah could see it coming—the
kingship of Jesus and the restoration of
Jerusalem. But was anybody listening?
Is anybody listening now? It must have been
tough being a prophet, but Jeremiah was
persistent in his message because he knew
that it needed to be heard.
Also persistent in his message is Paul as he encourages
the Thessalonians—and all of us—to live in accordance with the
kingship that Jeremiah foretold. He encourages us to conduct
ourselves in ways of holiness so that we may be well prepared
for the king’s coming. Finally, Jesus himself tells us to be ever
diligent so that we may gain favor before our God and King.
Jeremiah could see the kingship of Jesus coming. As we
begin the season of Advent, Paul and Jesus tell us not only how
to prepare for the Kingdom, but how to live it day to day.

THE THREE COMINGS OF ADVENT
There are three distinct comings of the Lord of which
I know, His coming to humankind, His coming into
humankind, and His coming against humankind.
—St. Bernard: Third Sermon for Advent

Dear Parishioners and friends,
Stewardship: A Way of Life—With All Your Heart!
Last week we distributed “The Prayer Commitment Form” in all of the Sunday
Masses. As we celebrated the feast of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the King of the Universe, we
dedicated our hearts to our Lord and our King and committed to use our time in prayer.
PASTORS’ MESSAGE
This week we begin the “Heart to Pray” season of our journey of “Stewardship:
With All Your Heart”. Heart to Pray encourages each parishioner — children, youth,
and adults — to go deeper in their prayer life, through which they can encounter the living
Christ and experience His great mercy and love.
We encourage children to commit to at least 1 minute of personal prayer at start of the
day. Youth may commit to at least 3 minutes of personal prayer at start of the day, and
adults to at least 10 minutes of personal prayer at start of the day.
By sharing your time through your prayer commitment, you become a minister—
a steward of prayer here in our parish.
What a beautiful way to start the Season of Advent and the new liturgical year!
Besides a new liturgical year, this Advent features an additional “beginning”. Next
week, the “Jubilee Year of Mercy” will open on December 8th (the Solemnity of the
Immaculate Conception). The Jubilee Year of Mercy is a graced opportunity to contemplate more profoundly and live more concretely the mystery of God’s unconditional love.
Pope Francis says that mercy, as the bridge connecting God and the human family,
opens our hearts to welcome God’s love for us sinners. Mercy opens our eyes to recognize
others, especially the least loved and most vulnerable members of our society who, as
brothers and sisters, are entrusted to our care .
Today’s scriptures provide a perfect Jubilee preparation. Jeremiah comforts us with the
promise of God’s justice; Paul challenges us to abound in love for all; Luke bids us anticipate Jesus’ future coming as the joyful advent of our redemption. But in a unique way, this
Jubilee Year’s Advent reminds us that Jesus, whose coming we await, is already present
among us, in those for whom we need to become instruments of God’s mercy.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Advent is a time rich in family
traditions. Many of them have been so
effectively absorbed into our culture that
their religious origins are hidden. Some
of us will set candles in our windows
tonight. The custom began in Ireland
during the so-called “penal” days, extending from 1691 to the
“Catholic Emancipation” in 1829 and beyond. There were harsh
penalties and fines for not attending the government church.
Priests were forced into hiding, but people were resourceful and
determined in guarding their faith. At Christmas, Irish families,
particularly in the countryside, placed a lighted candle in the
cottage window and left the door unlatched, hoping that a priest
might come by and celebrate the Christmas Mass for them.
The possibility of the Mass coming into the family home
gave rise to other Irish customs at the beginning of Advent. The
cottage received a fresh coat of whitewash, the threshold was
swept especially clean, and fresh curtains were hung in the
windows. The house was scrubbed until it gleamed, including all
the pots and pans, and all garments and table linens were
laundered. The custom of the Irish window candle was so admired
in Catholic Europe that it was widely copied there, and now finds a
welcome in households that may not exactly expect a priest to
wander in!

PRIMER DOMINGO DE ADVIENTO
Refleciones del Evangelio
Comunidad Latina
LA VENIDA DEL REINO
Jeremías lo veía venir –el reinado de
Jesús y la restauración de Jerusalén.
Pero, ¿había alguien que le escuchara?
¿Alguien escucha ahora? Ser profeta
tenía que haber sido muy difícil, pero
Jeremías era persistente en su mensaje,
porque sabía lo necesario que era escucharlo.
Persistente en su mensaje también es Pablo, animando a
los tesalonicenses –y a todos nosotros– a vivir de acuerdo al
reino que Jeremías anunció. Nos motiva a comportarnos en el
camino de santidad para que estemos bien preparados para la
llegada del rey. Finalmente, Jesús mismo nos dice que
estemos siempre atentos para lograr el agrado de nuestro Dios
y Rey.
Jeremías podía ver que se acercaba el reinado de Jesús.
Al comenzar el tiempo de Adviento, Pablo y Jesús nos enseñan
no sólo cómo prepararnos para el Reino, sino cómo vivirlo día a
día.
EL GRUPO PASTORAL FAMILIAR los invita a sus reunions
todos los Viernes de 6:30pm—8:30pm en el salón parroquial.
Juntos aprenderemos a ser mejores Cristianos, mejores esposos,
mejores padres de familia, mejores hijos y mejores seres
humanos. Vengan con toda la familia! Para mayores informes

it is from Your hand that we have received all we
have and are and will be.
Gracious and loving God, we understand that you
call us to be the stewards of Your abundance, the
caretakers of all you have entrusted to us. Help us
always to use your gifts wisely and teach us to share
them generously. May our faithful stewardship bear
witness to the love of Christ in our lives. We pray
this with grateful hearts in Jesus’ name. Amen.

ORACIÓN DE ADMINISTRACIÓN
Oh Señor, dador de vida y fuente de nuestra libertad, se nos
recuerda que tuya es “la tierra en su plenitud; el mundo y los
que en él habitan.” Sabemos que es de tu mano que hemos
recibido todo lo que tenemos y somos y seremos.
Dios misericordioso y amoroso, entendemos que nos llamaste
a ser los guardianes de tu abundancia, los cuidadores de todo
lo que nos has confiado. Ayúdanos a siempre usar tus dones
sabiamente y enséñanos a compartir generosamente.
Que nuestra fiel corresponsabilidad sirva de testimonio al
amor de Cristo en nuestras vidas. Oramos esto con
corazones agradecidos en el nombre de Jesús. Amén.
