Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
What would our lives be like without Jesus?
The Season of Advent invites us to keep in our hearts that time before the Coming of the Lord in His profound love in
the Incarnation. We are called in today's liturgy to feel deeply the desire for Jesus to come to us.
In the traditional epistle for today, St. Paul urges us to cast off the deeds of darkness and to put on the armor of light. He
is teaching us that, up until now, we have very much been living as if Jesus had not yet come to our souls. In our sins,
we have lived in the darkness that is separate from the Light of Christ. When Jesus comes to our souls by grace - and it
is this coming of the Lord for which we long daily - He shines His saving Light into every part of our soul and He fills
us with the joy of possessing Him in divine love.
In the traditional gospel for today , we are invited to desire and to look for the Lord's Second Coming at the end of time.
Thus, we see already on the First Sunday of Advent that this holy season celebrates and deepens our desire for what our
Catholic tradition calls the three "advents" ("coming towards") of Christ: His advent in the humble manger of Bethlehem, His advent into our souls by grace, and His advent in Kingly glory at the end of the world.
We pray during this season for an increase in the theological virtue of hope, whereby we desire from the depths of our
soul all three advents of Christ. This holy desire will be fulfilled finally when we enter into His Glory and Joy in the
Beatific Vision of Heaven. Today we arise from the drowsiness of chasing after joys apart from Him and awaken to the
dazzling Light of the pure Joy of pleasing our Beloved, Who is coming to us, His Bride. Advent is the springtime of the
Church. Today the Church is young. May she rejoice in Christ in each one of our hearts this Advent!
Pray for me, Father Joseph Previtali

As we prepare for the feast of Our Lady
of Guadalupe on December 12, I would
like to draw your attention to our recently
re-finished shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe on the southeast end of the parish
property. I want to thank our many generous donors for their love for Our Lady
and I especially want to thank Alfonso
Sención for his generous leadership and
hard work in the work of beautification. I
hope that you find our shrine a peaceful
place to encounter the motherly love of
the Blessed Virgin Mary.
-Father Previtali
Mientras nos preparamos para la fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe el 12 de diciembre, me gustaría llamar su atención a nuestro
recién terminado Santuario de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe en el
extremo sureste de la Iglesia. Quiero agradecer a todos nuestros
generosos donadores por su amor a Nuestra Señora y quiero agradecer especialmente a el Sr. Alfonso Sención por su generoso liderazgo y arduo trabajo para el embellecimiento de nuestra fuente.
Espero que encuentren nuestro santuario un lugar tranquilo para
encontrar el amor maternal de la Santísima Virgen María.
-Padre Previtali
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,
¿Cómo sería nuestra vida sin Jesús?
La Temporada de Adviento nos invita a guardar en nuestros
corazones ese tiempo antes de la Venida del Señor en Su profundo amor en la Encarnación. Estamos llamados en la liturgia
de hoy a sentir profundamente el deseo de que Jesús venga a
nosotros.
En la epístola tradicional de hoy, San Pablo nos insta a abandonar las obras de las tinieblas ya ponernos la armadura de la
luz. Él nos está enseñando que, hasta ahora, hemos vivido
mucho como si Jesús aún no hubiera llegado a nuestras almas. En nuestros pecados, hemos vivido en la oscuridad que
está separada de la Luz de Cristo. Cuando Jesús viene a nuestras almas por gracia - y es esta venida del Señor por la cual
diariamente diariamente - Él brilla Su Luz salvadora en cada
parte de nuestra alma y nos llena de la alegría de poseerlo en
el amor divino.
En el evangelio tradicional de hoy, estamos invitados a desear
y buscar la Segunda Venida del Señor al final de los tiempos.
Así, vemos ya en el Primer Domingo de Adviento que esta
santa temporada celebra y profundiza nuestro deseo por lo
que nuestra tradición católica llama los tres "advenimientos"
de Cristo: Su advenimiento en el humilde pesebre de Belén, Su
Advenimiento en nuestras almas por gracia, y su advenimiento
en la gloria del Rey en el fin del mundo.
Oramos durante esta temporada por un aumento en la virtud
teológica de la esperanza, por la cual deseamos desde las
profundidades de nuestra alma los tres advents de Cristo. Este
deseo santo se cumplirá finalmente cuando entramos en Su
Gloria y Alegría en la Visión Beatífica del Cielo. Hoy nos levantamos de la somnolencia de perseguir alegrías aparte de Él y
despertar a la deslumbrante Luz de la alegría pura de agradar
a nuestro Amado, que viene a nosotros, Su Novia. El Adviento
es la primavera de la Iglesia. Hoy la Iglesia es joven. ¡Que se
regocije en Cristo en cada uno de nuestros corazones este
Adviento!
Oren por mi, Padre José Previtali
