This Sunday we begin the second week of Advent.
Advent is a short season of only four weeks but it
is full of beautiful feasts. Today is the St. Nick’s
Feast Day! On Tuesday we celebrate the Feast of
the Immaculate Conception and on Saturday of this
week we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe.
Since December 3rd we have been observing a
special Novena to prepare us to celebrate the Feast
of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Within that Novena
falls the glorious Feast of Mary’s Immaculate conception. Some people confuse this Feast with the
Conception of Jesus but the Feast refers to Mary,
the Immaculate conception. She was conceived
without any stain of original sin. She is the pure
and immaculate Virgin. The Immaculate Conception Feast Day is a Holy Day of Obligation which
means we all have to make plans to attend Mass for
this important Feast. It is not optional. Our Mass
times are Monday, December 7th at 7:00 p.m. for
the Vigil in Spanish. On Tuesday, December 8th
we have Mass at 8:30 a.m. in English and again at
5:30 p.m. in English. At 10:30 a.m. we have a traditional Latin Mass that will be sung. And at 7:00
p.m. we have a Spanish Mass. There should be no
one who can’t make it to at least one of these
Masses.
As the Novena to Our Lady of Guadalupe continues throughout this week our hearts warm to the
tender Mother who bore our Savior. In a wonderful
evening of love we prepare for her Feast on Saturday with a special Vigil of prayer starting at 6:30
p.m. on Friday and extending to about midnight.
And then early the next morning (Saturday, December 12th) we will arise and be at the Church by
6:00 a.m. to sing morning songs (mañanitas) followed by the recitation of the rosary and then Holy
Mass. What a wonderful way to begin her Feast
Day. You can bring roses or other flowers to adorn
December 6, 2015
her statue but the most important thing is to bring a
heart purified by confession and a spirit full of love
for our Holy Mother.
I would like to thank the various
groups which have participated
in the Novena from December
3rd and all those that will participate this week and encourage
everyone to come to the rosary
and Mass each evening at 6:30
p.m. You will be greatly blessed
by Our Lady as she is very careful to show you her gratitude for
any little act of love or sacrifice
you do for her or for her Son. May this season of
Advent be a truly Marian one so that Christ will
grow in your heart just as He grew in the womb of
Mary.
I wish you all a very prayerful week and a wonderful preparation for the Birthday of the Lord. Let us
not forget the" reason for the season”.
Sincerely yours,
Father Timothy Davison

U. S. Catholic Sisters Against
Human Trafficking
For many years now the Church’s commitment to
the defense of human dignity has embraced different issues that attempt to diminish the image of
God in every human person. Among these issues,
human trafficking and labor exploitation are two
of the most serious. The U.S. conference of Bishops has quoted the alarming statistics offered by
the UN’s International Labor Organization in
which it is stated that there are 20.9 million victims of trafficking and human slavery worldwide.
Nearly 1.5 million victims are currently laboring
in conditions of forced labor, sexual exploitation
and servitude in the United States, Canada and developed countries of the EU, and this number includes children, women, and men of all ages.
As part of the Church’s commitment, we are
blessed to have groups and associations that work
directly for the prevention and end of human trafficking and labor exploitation. Among those is the
U.S. Catholic Sisters Against Human Trafficking.
The sisters ask that you read these bulletin inserts
in order to raise awareness on this issue.
DECEMBER - Alert. Ending slavery is everyone’s
work. U.S. Catholic Sisters Against Human Trafficking (USCSAHT) is a collaborative, faith-based
network that offers educational resources, information about access to survivor’s services, and
engages in advocacy in an effort to eradicate modern-day slavery. Visit the web site:

Angel Tree
There are only a few angels left on
our tree in the vestibule, waiting to

needs for some of our families.
Please bring your gifts to the School Office no
later than December 13th.
Thank you!

Awaiting the Salvation of God
The world does not seem big enough to
contain the jubilation of the first reading. In the
Gospel reading, the Roman empire isn’t big
enough, either. The great powers of Rome are
named and made to stand waiting for the arrival of
God’s salvation. And we find Paul meditating joyfully on what really matters.
According to Baruch, the city of Jerusalem
is like a person standing on tiptoe looking for
God’s salvation, which is coming from the east.
Those who were led away on foot, heads down,
now come back, a proud people. Why, the very
way is smoothed out. the path is lined with fragrant, lush trees.
It can’t get any better than this, can it?
Well, yes, it can. For a voice calls out in the desert. Here is the beginning of the salvation of God.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
By now, trees are beginning to appear in living
rooms throughout the parish. To a complete outsider to our culture, it must seem an odd thing indeed. The “roots” of this custom are in liturgical
drama: religious plays performed in the churches
and town squares of medieval Europe. The favorite
theme for this time of year was the “Paradise
Play,” a dramatic history of the human race from
the Garden of Eden to the birth of Jesus in Bethlehem. The language and music varied from place to
place, but one feature was always in place: a great
tree decorated with apples. As a prop, it provided
lots of material for the actors: the temptation, shelter for the manger, and a reminder of the wood of
the cross. Soon people began to bring “paradise
trees” into their homes, decorating them with gifts
and lighted candles.
Many Germans give credit to Martin Luther for
transforming the “Paradise Tree” into the evergreen Christmas tree. Walking home on a starry
Advent night, he was so awed by the beauty of the
night that he hauled a pine tree inside and decorated it with lighted candles. Americans were holdouts. It took until 1856 for the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts to decriminalize Christmas decorations, the old Puritan dislikes falling before the
waves of Irish and German immigrants with traditions firmly in hand!

Del Párroco:
Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo,
Este domingo comenzamos la segunda semana de
Adviento. Adviento es una temporada corta de solamente cuatro semanas pero es una temporada llena de hermosos fiestas. Hoy es la Fiesta de San
Nicolás! Este martes celebramos la Fiesta de la
Inmaculada Concepción y este sábado celebramos
la Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe.
Desde el 3 de diciembre hemos rezado una Novena
especial para prepararnos por la Fiesta de Nuestra
Señora de Guadalupe. Dentro de esta Novena cae
la Fiesta de la Inmaculada Concepción de María.
Algunos confunden esta Fiesta con la Fiesta de la
Concepción de Jesús pero esta Fiesta refiere a María, la Inmaculada Concepción. Ella fue concebida
sin la mancha del pecado original. Ella es la pura e
inmaculada Virgen. La Fiesta de la Inmaculada
Concepción es un día de precepto que significa que
debemos planear asistir a Misa. Esto no es una opción. El horario de nuestras Misas: lunes, el 7 de
diciembre, Misa de Vigilia en español a las 7:00
pm. Martes, el 8 de diciembre, ofreceremos Misa
en inglés a las 8:30 am y otra en inglés a las 5:30
pm. A las 10:30 am ofreceremos Misa tradicional
solemne en latín, y a las 7:00 pm otra Misa en español. No debe haber nadie que no puede asistir a a
lo menos una de estas Misas.
Mientras la Novena a Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe continua durante la semana nuestros corazones
abren a la Madre tierna que nos dio nuestro Salvador. Durante una tarde maravillosa y llena de amor
nos preparemos por su Fiesta del sábado con una
Vigilia especial de oración que empieza a las 6:30
pm el viernes y va hasta medianoche. Muy temprano la próxima mañana (sábado, el 12 de diciembre)
nos levantamos y llegamos a la Iglesia a las 6:00
am para cantar mañanitas, rezar el rosario y celebrar la Santa Misa. Que manera maravillosa celebrar su Día de Fiesta. Pueden rosas u otras flores
para adornar su imagen pero lo más importante es
traer el corazón purificado por confesión y un espíritu lleno de amor de nuestra Santa Madre.
Quisiera agradecer los grupos que han participado
en la Novena desde el 3 de diciembre y animo a
todos a venir para rezar el rosario y asistir a la Misa cada tarde a las 6:30 pm. Estarán bendecidos
por Nuestra Señora como ella siempre muestra su
agradecimiento por cualquier acta de amor o sacrificio que hacen para ella o para su Hijo. Que esta
temporada de Adviento sea una temporada muy
Marianista para que Cristo puede crecer en sus corazones como creció en la matriz de María.
Deseo a todos una semana llena de oraciones y de
preparación por el Cumpleaños del Señor. No debemos olvidar el significado de la temporada de
Navidad.
Sinceramente,
Padre Timothy Davison

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En 1726 Juan de la Cruz (1542-1591) fur
canonizado por el Papa Benito XIII. Nació en la
región de Castilla en España, este doctore de la
Iglesia junto con Teresa de Ávila fue reformador
de la Orden Carmelita. Muchas órdenes religiosas
del siglo XV sufrieron grandes decadencias. Por
eso mientras los Protestantes se separaban de la
Iglesia, los religiosos descalzos, recoletos y observantes buscaban reformar órdenes religiosas, como la Orden de la Bienaventurada Virgen María
del Monte Carmelo, uniéndose siempre más a la
Iglesia Romana.
Para los reformadores católicos quedarse
en la Iglesia no fue fácil, !sin embargo se quedaron! Aunque sus reformas fueron apoyadas por los
Papas, muchos de ellos como Juan de la Cruz tuvieron que aguantar muchas oposiciones y persecuciones para lograr sus reformas. Estas reformas
ardían con el deseo de amar bien a Cristo Jesús y a
su cuerpo que es la Iglesia.
En sus poesías, Juan de la Cruz muestra la
fuerza de esta llama de amor a pesar de la oscuridad de la noche que no lo deja encontrar al amante
(Dios).
Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz.
