Third Sunday of Advent
MORE THAN DISCIPLES
Each of today’s four scriptural roles—disciple, prophet, apostle, herald—forms a facet of our life in Christ as we live it day
by day. Isaiah tells us that a prophet is anointed, as we were anointed at our baptism in water and the Spirit, to bring glad tidings
and to promote God’s reign of healing, justice, and peace. An apostle, like Paul, is one who is “sent.” Each of us, in his or her
own way, is sent by Christ to be a voice of rejoicing, to encourage prophetic voices in the world, and to make sure that the work
of the Spirit thrives. John the Baptist shows us the job of the herald, making the Lord’s way straight, announcing the coming of
the Light of the world.
Today we also hear from Mary, model disciple. Her song, the Magnificat, shows us the world we must believe in and work
for: one in which God is praised, where God’s favor is bestowed on the humble, where the hungry are filled and the rich are
sent away empty, a world that continues to know and rejoice in the mercy of God that lasts for all ages. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
MÁS QUE DISCÍPULOS
Cada uno de los cuatro roles en las Escrituras de hoy —discípulo, profeta, apóstol, testigo— forma una faceta de la vida
en Cristo que vivimos día a día. Isaías nos dice que el profeta es ungido, tal como fuimos ungidos en el Bautismo con agua y
con el Espíritu, para traer la Buena Nueva y promover el Reino de Dios, un reino de salvación, justicia y paz. El apóstol, como Pablo, es un “enviado”. Cada uno de nosotros, a su manera, es enviado por Cristo a ser una voz de alegría, a animar las
voces proféticas en el mundo y asegurar que prospere la obra del Espíritu. Juan Bautista nos muestra la labor del testigo,
enderezando el camino del Señor, anunciando la venida de la Luz del Mundo.
Hoy escuchamos también a María, discípulo modelo. Su canto, el “Magnificat”, nos muestra el mundo en que debemos
creer y por el cual laborar: uno en donde Dios sea alabado, donde el favor de Dios se derrama sobre los humildes, donde los
hambrientos quedan repletos y los ricos se despiden vacíos, un mundo que continúa conociendo y celebrando la misericordia
de Dios que perdura por todos los siglos. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

In Praise of Mary
An Advent Reflection…
O Mary, artist of life, hail!
By recreating wholeness, you have convulsed death itself.
You have destroyed the serpent which, blown up with pride,
Raised its outstretched next to Eve.
You have trampled on it by giving birth out of heaven
To God’s Son,
Breathed into you by the Spirit of God.
O loveliest and most loving Mother, hail!
You have given forth into this world your Son,
Sent from heaven and breathed into you by the Spirit of God.
Praised be the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Breathed into you by the Holy Spirit.
Written by Saint Hildegard of Bingen (1098-1179), Doctor of the Church
Excerpt from A Star Over Bethlehem by Ann Finch, 2001

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Jesús proclama que Juan el Bautista es más que un profeta (Lucas 7:26) y lo compara con Elías, el profeta más importante de los judíos (Mateo 17:11-13). Pero, ¿qué es un profeta? El judaísmo, cristianismo e islamismo reconocen a ciertas
personas como profetas. La palabra hebrea nabi significa portavoz, o profeta. Los nebiim eran encargados por Dios para
una tarea especial. Así por ejemplo, Moisés fue encargado para liberar al pueblo de la esclavitud egipcia, Elías para recordarle la palabra de Dios cuando se apartaba de la alianza, y Jeremías para denunciar las corrupciones y anunciarle el castigo. Cuando tradujeron al griego el Antiguo Testamento, la palabra nabi fue traducida como prophetes (profeta). Esto indica
un intérprete de la voluntad de Dios. Los profetas griegos eran oráculos que adivinaban el futuro, por lo cual mucha gente
confunde al profeta con un adivino. El profeta según el cristianismo es un testigo (Juan 1:6-8, 19-28) del poder de Cristo y la
palabra de Dios. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

From the Prayer of the Archdiocese for Military Services
Almighty God and Father, look with love upon our men and women in uniform and protect them in their time of need. Give
them health and stability and allow them to return to their loved ones whole and unshaken. Be with their families and
sustain them in these uncertain times. Hear us as we present our prayers to You through Christ our Lord. Amen
"Operation Thank Our Troops"
A huge thank you to all of you who participated so generously with donations to our overseas troops via Prayer Angels.
With donations very low this year, Prayer Angels was very thankful for all the kindness
St. Clare demonstrated.
We delivered many, many boxes of food, snacks, personal items, scarves, books, magazines, etc...
A special thank you goes out to our Confirmation group for their donation of
assembled personal packets complete with personal hygiene items, socks, candy and
a special Christmas card. Also, our Just Chillin' Jr. High group for all the wonderful Christmas cards and notes of appreciation. And of course our Knights of Columbus for the generous monetary donation which helps cover the cost of shipping expenses.
Great job! Thanks again.
