At 5:00am on a chilly Saturday morning on Dec. 11th about
300 parishioners came together for a celebration of Our Lady
of Guadalupe.
Gathered in front of our church everyone entered in a
procession led by children holding up Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Mariachis (musicians) led everyone in songs honoring our
Blessed Mother. The Rosary was prayed and Fr. Diego gave a
short homily. Afterwards, tamales, hot chocolate &
champurrado (beverage), typical Mexican treats, were enjoyed
by all in St. Michael’s Hall.
The evening events included a procession from the Prayer
Garden to the church while praying the rosary and concluded
with a lively celebration of the Mass. Thank you to our
Spanish Community who made this possible!

WE ARE A SACRIFICIAL GIVING PARISH
“The Lord’s are the earth and its fullness; the world and those
who dwell in it. For he founded it upon the sea and established
it upon the rivers.” Psalm 24:1-2
How can we take credit for the good things in our lives when Psalm
24 reminds us that God created absolutely everything and everyone on
earth? Surely we all have an obligation to return a portion of our good
fortune to the Lord, for without Him nothing would be possible.

LEARN MORE ABOUT YOUR FAITH! JESUS WANTS YOU CLOSER TO HIM!
Fourth Sunday of Advent
December 19, 2010
TRUST IN GOD
On this final Sunday of Advent our scriptures focus on the
historical birth of Jesus, who is son of David and Son of God, child
and king, Jesus and Emmanuel.
Isaiah the prophet begs Ahaz to ask for a sign, to allow
God to offer him reassurance of the survival of the Davidic dynasty. The king hypocritically refuses to “tempt the LORD” in that
way (Isaiah 7:12), but the prophet foretells the birth of a son, an
heir to the throne, who will prove the Lord’s enduring protection of
God’s chosen lineage on the throne of David. The child will be
called Emmanuel.
Matthew’s reference to this history in his description of the
birth of Jesus highlights the contrast between the faithless refusal
of trust shown by Ahaz, and the complete trust in God shown by
Mary and Joseph in bringing about the birth of Jesus Christ.

FEAST OF FAITH
Gathering
When Pope Benedict XVI visited the United States in 2008,
tens of thousands gathered in Yankee Stadium to celebrate the Eucharist with him. What made them different from all the other excited
crowds who have assembled there through the years? When they began
to sing together, to listen together, to pray together, they ceased to be a
crowd, and became a liturgical assembly. It was not where they were
but what they did that set them apart.
The Gospels speak of many instances when Jesus prayed
alone to his Father. But Jesus also put a special value on communal
prayer. “Where two or three are gathered together in my name,” he
told his disciples, “there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20).
Jesus gave his own mission to his followers, sending them forth to do
everything he did: to heal, to teach, to proclaim the kingdom. Jesus
wants us to meet God in and through each other. So the Christian community continues to gather, Sunday after Sunday. When we get up on
Sunday morning and come to Mass, we respond to Jesus’ invitation,
and we express our trust in his promise that whenever we come together, he comes, too.

FIESTA DE LA FE
Pedimos perdón
Como el amor de Dios es algo tan obvio, es posible
que nos resulte un poco difícil explicarlo. Resulta aun más
difícil explicarlo cuando en nuestra vida no nos hemos sentido
amados por Dios, así como somos, en nuestra humanidad más
plena. Si el amor es lo único que basta, si sólo Dios basta, como
escribió santa Teresa, ¿cómo es que ese amor no nos llega?
Pues sí nos llega, a todos y todas, lo que muchas veces sucede
es que no siempre estamos abiertos a ese amor, en cierta forma,
nos negamos a él, o bien, no respondemos a ese amor tan
grande que recibimos de Dios. Por eso pedimos perdón durante
la celebración de la Misa, porque no hemos amado a Dios como
él nos amó; porque no hemos seguido su mandato de amar al
prójimo como a nosotros mismos; porque no hemos caminado
humildemente ante su presencia y tampoco hemos vivido la
justicia. Porque no hemos dejado todo para seguirlo. Le
pedimos perdón mediante el Acto Penitencial, el Señor ten
piedad o durante la Pascua, con la aspersión del agua bendita.
Experimentamos así la gran misericordia de Dios, cuyo amor
por nosotros es ilimitado.—Miguel Arias, © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

Noche de Casino en Incarnation
“Reina de Corazones”
Sábado, 12 de febrero, 2011
El Comité para la Noche de Casino 2011 “Reina de Corazones”
esta buscando patrocinadores. Los feligreses que tienen
negocios, se podrían beneficiar de la publicidad y pueden
considerar uno de varios niveles de patrocinio: Platino, Oro,
Plata y Bronce. Las ganancias del Casino 2011 de Encarnación
serán usadas para renovar el Salón San Miguel y el Salón St.
Francis. Estos salones son usados todo el año por los alumnos
de la escuela y también por muchas organizaciones parroquiales
para recepciones y otras funciones. Todo aquel que este
interesado en conocer más sobre los beneficios de los varios
niveles, para patrocinar este evento debe comunicarse con
Connie Hennessey al 813 884- 8326.
