PASTOR’S ADVENT MESSAGE
Dear Friends:
As we light the second candle
of our Advent wreath, we embrace our Christian calling to be
the light of the world. We don’t
hide our Chrstian light, but let
it shine for all th world to see!
1st Reading: Is 11:1-10
2nd Reading: Rom: 15:4-9
Gospel: Mt 3:1-12
We continue our “Commitment Weekends” for “Thy Kingdom Come” campaign during the Season of Advent.
These are the weekends during which parishioners are asked to make a decision as
to how they will support our drive for the
new parish hall designed to promote the
Kingly Mission of Christ.
You should have received material with
pledge cards and return envelopes.
Thank you in advance for your willingness to help raise needed funds for the
new parish hall!
We wish to offer you an update on the
progress of our campaign. As you know,
the campaign depends not on a few generous givers, but on the whole parish
making some contribution. Understanding that “many hands make light work,”
all parishioners are encouraged to make
some form of sacrifice toward the new
project.
Therefore, the updates in our weekly bulletin will not include HOW MUCH has
been raised, but HOW MANY of our parishioners have helped with some form of
financial pledge. If you wish to see how
much has been raised, you are invited
to visit the parish website. Simply go to
strosecv.com and click on the campaign
button - “Thy Kingdom Come!” There
you will see updates on the campaign; including how much has been pledged so
far.
As of the printing of this bulletin (we go
to the printers on Mondays), the number
of pledges received by our parishioners
is:
80

Don’t forget the many celebrations in the month of December; including the Feast of the
Immaculate Conception (December 8), Our Lady of Guadalupe Masses (December 11 &
12), our Annual Church Lighting ceremony (December 12), our Advent Reconciliation Service
(December 15), and Simbang Gabi (December 16-24).
Also, join us next Friday as Father Jacob Bertrand’s parents will be
here to offer a marvelous class on the Sacrament of Matrimony - a
Sacrament that benefits the whole church, not just those who are
married. Information about this event at 7pm and all of our other
events in Advent are found in this bulletin.
Reminder: This year, due to the difficulty in finding priests for our
Advent Reconciliation services, we will be having only one service
on the 15th at 7:00 pm. However, Father Jacob and I will be available for confessions on Tuesdays from 7:15am to 7:45am, as well as
our regular Saturday confession times (8:00 am)
God Bless you!
Father John
2nd Week of Advent
In the season of Advent, we look to the coming of Christ at the
end of time, and we prepare ourselves to celebrate his first coming among us at Christmas. Remembrance of the past is combined with preparation for the future. Memory meets action.
In a certain sense, the Mass is an Advent prayer. At the
Last Supper, Jesus did not tell his disciples, “Never forget what I
did for you.” Instead, he said, “Do this in remembrance of me.” He
calls us to remember by doing, to combine memory with action. In
the celebration of the Eucharist, remembering and doing become
one. Jesus is as present in our midst as he was in that upper room,
breaking the bread and sharing the cup; but it is a new kind of presence, seen only with the eyes of faith. In the heavenly liturgy, there
will be no need of sacraments, for there, “celebration is wholly communion and feast” (Catechism of the Catholic Church, 1136). Here,
things are different. We have only glimpses and flashes of the beauty that is yet to be. And yet, in the liturgy, we truly participate in the
heavenly liturgy. The Mass is our foretaste of the joys of heaven.
St. Rose of Lima Church
The feast of the immaculate conception
What is the Immaculate Conception?
It’s important to understand what the doctrine of the Immaculate Conception is and what it is not. Some people think the
term refers to Christ’s conception in Mary’s womb without
the intervention of a human father; but that is the Virgin Birth.
Others think the Immaculate Conception means Mary was
conceived "by the power of the Holy Spirit," in the way Jesus
was, but that, too, is incorrect. The Immaculate Conception
means that Mary, whose conception was brought about the
normal way, was conceived without original sin or its stain—
that’s what "immaculate" means: without stain. The essence
of original sin consists in the deprivation of sanctifying grace,
and its stain is a corrupt nature. Mary was preserved from
these defects by God’s grace; from the first instant of her existence she was in the state of sanctifying grace and was free
from the corrupt nature original sin brings.
When discussing the Immaculate Conception, an implicit
reference may be found in the angel’s greeting to Mary. The
angel Gabriel said, "Hail, full of grace, the Lord is with you"
(Luke 1:28). The phrase "full of grace" is a translation of the
Greek word kecharitomene. It therefore expresses a characteristic quality of Mary.
Holy Day of Obligation
Mass Times
6:15 am
8:00 am
9:00 am (includes school Mass)
1:00 pm (for Seniors in Hall)
5:00 pm
6:30 pm (en Español)
The traditional translation, “full of grace,” is better than the one
found in many recent versions of the New Testament, which
give something along the lines of “highly favored daughter.”
Mary was indeed a highly favored daughter of God, but the
Greek implies more than that (and it never mentions the word
for “daughter”). The grace given to Mary is at once permanent and of a unique kind. Kecharitomene is a perfect passive
participle of charitoo, meaning “to fill or endow with grace.”
Since this term is in the perfect tense, it indicates that Mary
was graced in the past but with continuing effects in the present. So, the grace Mary enjoyed was not a result of the angel’s
visit. In fact, Catholics hold, it extended over the whole of her
life, from conception onward. She was in a state of sanctifying
grace from the first moment of her existence

Student Adoption Program
It is that time of the year when St. Rose of Lima School calls upon our
parishioners to consider contributing to the annual tuition assistance
program. You have been so generous in years past and many of our
school families, who have been facing some economic hardships, are
depending on your support to help meet the cost of tuition.
Last year approximately $36,000 was raised to help twenty-one
families. More information about the tuition assistance program was
mailed home this past week along with a donation card. Any contribution, small or large, will be gratefully appreciated. The school
community thanks you for your prayers and continuing support.

Noticia de Padre Juan
Queridos amigos,
Este Segundo Domingo de Adviento escuchamos las
pal- abras del gran profeta Isaías. En la primera lectura, Isaías exhorta a su pueblo (y a nosotros) con su
profecía de que el Mesías va a venir y traer paz.
El salmo nos recuerda sobre la segunda venida del
Mesías, “En sus días florecerá la justicia, y dilatada
paz hasta que no haya luna.” Entonces oremos así,
“¡Ven, Señor Jesús! ¡Ven!”
Le recordamos que nuestra Servicio de Reconciliación
de Advento serå en la iglesia el 15 de diciembre a las
7:00 pm.
Que Dios los bendiga y que tengan una buena semana!
