Letter from the Pastor
Dear parish family,
I am truly happy that I am able to go home to
India to visit my family. It has been two years since
my last visit. Every time I go home, usually once in a
year, my nieces and nephew get so excited that they
want to spend all their time with me! I am looking
forward to seeing my family and friends. The weath-
er should be anywhere between 70 to 90 in January! I
will be leaving on Monday, December 28th and re-
turn on Friday, January 22nd. During this time, Dea-
con Jim will be offering communion service on
Wednesdays beginning Dec 30, followed by adora-
tion at Holy Family Campus. Please make use of this
opportunity. On weekends, three different missionar-
ies will come and appeal to your generosity for their
ministries. Please prayerfully consider their minis-
tries. More info will appear in the bulletin.
Regarding my project – this time I would like
to pick 25 poor students from and near my hometown
and assist them with their tuition and uniform. I be-
lieve in the concept of “little skin on the bone” – so
the parents do retain the major responsibility in edu-
cating their children. I am glad that you are able to
join me in materializing this project. Please keep me
in your prayers for a safe trip home.
If you have not registered for Christmas
Mass, please visit our parish website:
www.setoncatholics.org and register your family for
Mass. We want to make sure that everyone is offered
a safe environment to participate at the Christmas
Masses. You may also call the parish office to do the
same.
Continue to watch Dr. Ralph Martin’s advent
mission study on The Fulfillment of All Desire – to
know the saints’ way of being holy. This past Sun-
day, Dr. Martin talked about sins and what we need
to do about turning away from sins and growing clos-
er. Turning away from sins is always paralleled with
growing in virtue. As John of the Cross points out, a
greater attraction, a greater love has to inflame us in
order to enable us to let go of lesser discorded loves
(Pg. 119, FAD). And Thérèse teaches, a greater de-
sire for heaven and to enter into the kingdom of God
should be welling up in us each day as we grow in
love for God and hatred for sin.
All Dr. Martin’s talks are available on
www.renewalministries.net – please access it and all
other materials he has for free.
Seminarian Jack Wright is with us during this
Christmas and one other seminarian, Lance Anthony
from my home diocese in India will join us as well. I
am so glad that our parish enjoys the presence of
these men who have said a generous “Yes” to serve
the Church and preach the Gospel. They need your
prayers each day, please remember them in your pre-
cious prayers. We welcome them with hearts full of
joy!
Peace and blessings,
Fr. Sengole Gnanaraj STL

1. La mayoría de la gente piensa que son simplemente
laicos y no tienen suficiente educación teológica y dejan
que los especialistas se preocupen por la santidad. Pero,
fuimos creados a imagen y semejanza de Dios; esa es la
razón más importante para que todos tomemos en serio el
llamado a la santidad.
2. Algunas personas piensan que todo será atendido en el
Purgatorio donde tendrá lugar toda la purificación esen-
cial. Pero, se supone que no debemos aspirar al Purgato-
rio –
3. Algunas otras personas piensan: “Soy egoista, pecador,
incapaz y mala persona, por eso la santidad no es para
mí”. Bueno, esto es una ¡MENTIRA! ¡Ningún pecado es
imperdonable! La misericordia de Dios permanence para
siempre. Estos son los puntos resumidos de la primera
session del Dr. Martin. ¡Únase a nosotros los Domingos
13 y 20 de Diciembre de 7:45 – 9:00 pm en la Iglesi de
Santa María o en Facebook live, y enriquézcase con la
sabiduría de los santos!
Padre Sengole Gnanaraj
Marriage Banns:
Resumen de la primera sesión del
Dr. Ralph Martin
Con el primer domingo de Adviento, comenzamos
a estudiar el “Cumplimiento de Todo Deseo” del Dr.
Ralph Martin. El Dr. Ralph Martin es un pionero en
promover el llamado a la nueva evangelización en nuestro
país. Fue mi profesor en el Seminario Mayor del Sagrado
Corazón, Detroit, donde ha estado enseñando durante los
últimos 15 años. El Dr. Martin nos guiará para mostrar
cómo los santos vivieron su llamado a ser santos. En el
campus de Santa María el domingo pasado, éramos unos
20 feligreses escuchando su charla a través de una trans-
misión en vivo. Animo a todos a que se unan a nosotros
en Santa María o en línea de forma privada en su hogar.
El domingo pasado, nos presentó los pilares bási-
cos de la santidad cristiana. La primera sesión se titula
"Decisiones Básicas". Dijo: "¡La santidad no es una op-
ción!" En otras palabras, la santidad no es sólo para
aquéllas pocas personas que son talentosas o especial-
es. Santidad simplemente significa unión con Dios; esta
unión comienza aquí y ahora, ¡Cuanto antes mejor! La
única razón por la que existimos aquí en esta tierra es para
alcanzar nuestro destino que es "convertirnos en uno con
Dios". La santidad descansa en el hecho de poder amar al
Señor y dejarse estar en perfecta armonía con la voluntad
de Dios. Esto nos permite permitir que el Señor nos co-
munique sus características para que nuestra vida se trans-
forme como Dios quiere. Para Teresa de Ávila, la san-
tidad es una cuestión de unir nuestras voluntades con la
voluntad de Dios. Para Teresa de Lisieux, "La perfección
consiste en hacer su voluntad, en ser lo que él quiere que
seamos ... que resiste su gracia en nada". Santidad signifi-
ca no conformarse con el mundo y la manera mundana de
tratar las cosas.
Hay cuatro principios que el Dr. Martin identifica
basándose en la sabiduría de Juan Pablo II:
1. La unión con Dios es totalmente inalcanzable por nues-
tros propios esfuerzos, pero la gracia de Dios es suficiente
para que esto suceda.
2. ¡La gracia de Dios necesita nuestra cooper-
ación! Aunque nuestros esfuerzos no son suficientes, son
necesarios. ¡Nuestros esfuerzos son indispensables!
3. Necesitamos ser sanados y transformados de las heridas
de los pecados tanto originales como personales, por lo
tanto, la santidad requiere purificación.
4. ¡Esta purificación espiritual es dolorosa pero vale la
pena!
¿Qué nos detiene de una respuesta sincera al llamado de la
santidad?
