First Sunday of Advent
November 30, 2014
Be watchful! Be alert!
You do not know when the time will come.
— Mark 13:33
WATCH!
“Watch!” This word occurs three times in today’s Gospel passage.
Moreover, it is placed at significant points: the beginning, the center, and the
end. Though this is technically a parable, it is quite short (four verses). The
threefold repetition of “watch” leaves no doubt as to what the story is about.
We often think of Advent as a time of waiting, but it truly is a season of watchfulness, a very active form of
waiting for the coming Day of the Lord. It is that day, more than Christmas day, that the Christian community
faithfully expects, using all of our gifts and talents for this purpose, as Paul reminds us in the Letter to the Corinthians.
When we use these gifts in faithful watching and expectation, we become like the servants of the parable, set to their
tasks, not waiting around idly, but engaged in the master’s work until his return. May our Advent be a time when we
return or rededicate our lives and our communities to this work—the active and diligent faithfulness that the Lord will
expect to find.

ADVENT—MARANATHA
(Come Lord Jesus)
Advent focuses our attention on the coming of Christ. We
live between two comings of Christ—His first coming in humility
and weakness at Bethlehem, and His second coming in majesty
and power at the end of time. St. Paul says that with each passing
year ‘our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.’
Each year we ought to hear the Christ story better,
understand it more deeply, and make it more our own. In hearing
His story we ought to hear our own stories too. Our stories merge
with His and are illuminated by it. His story enables us live our
own story more fully and more joyfully.
Even though we’ve made the journey before, we must try to
embark on it today as if for the very first time. This Sunday is a
God-given chance to make a new beginning in our following of
Christ.
Beginning Monday, December 1st, we will have a 6:30am and 8:30am Mass during Advent.
God Bless,
Fr. Mike

GIGGLES:
There was disappointment in Hollywood last week when the Sylvester Stallone
movie festival got off to a rocky start.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A man bought a rug that was advertised on eBay as being “in mint condition”.
When it arrived it had a big hole in the middle.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“Did you hear about the skunk who went to Church at Christmas?
He had his own pew.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
A woman says to her husband, “Now that we’re back on speaking terms,
Be quiet.”
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
When I joined the Armed Services they told me I’d have to pay for my rifle
and grenades if I lost them. Now I know why a captain goes down with his ship.

Primer Domingo de Adviento
30 de noviembre de 2014
Velen y estén preparados,
porque no saben cuándo
llegará el momento.
— Marcos 13:33
¡VELEN!
“¡Velen!” Esta palabra ocurre dos veces en el Evangelio de hoy, situada en puntos
estratégicos: al principio, y en el centro. Aunque técnicamente sea una parábola, el texto es
bastante breve (cuatro versículos). La doble repetición de “velen” no deja lugar a duda de
lo que trata este relato.
A menudo pensamos en Adviento como un tiempo de espera, pero en realidad es un tiempo de vigilancia, una
forma muy activa de esperar la llegada del Día del Señor. Ese es el Día, más que el día de Navidad, anticipado
fielmente por la comunidad cristiana, ya que usa todos sus talentos y dones para este fin, como nos lo recuerda Pablo
en la carta a los corintios. Cuando usamos estos dones en fiel espera y anticipación, nos hacemos como los sirvientes
de la parábola, entregados a sus tareas, no esperando como vagos, sino encargados de la labor del maestro hasta su
regreso. Que nuestro Adviento sea un tiempo en que reencaminamos o rededicamos nuestra vida y nuestra comunidad
a esta labor, la fidelidad activa y diligente que el Señor espera encontrar.
