Stewardship Reflections
In today’s second reading Paul concludes his letter to the Christian
community at Thessalonica by providing it with actions to take as they wait
for the return of the Lord. The first action is to rejoice always and give
thanks in all circumstances. This sounds easy but it’s not. The two words
that make this task difficult are “always” and “all”. This means giving thanks
and rejoicing even when our circumstances are not always moments of joy
and thanksgiving, or when we are confronted with a broken world. Prayerful
stewards rejoice and give thanks in all circumstances because they are people
of hope. A good reflection this week would be how the season of Advent can
give you reason to hope.
En la segunda lectura de hoy Pablo concluye su carta a la comunidad cristiana de
Tesalónica proveyéndola con acciones para ser tomadas mientras espera el
regreso del Señor. La primera acción es alegrarse siempre y dar gracias en todas
las circunstancias. Esto parece fácil, pero no lo es. Las dos palabras que hacen
difícil esta tarea son “siempre” y “todas”. Esto significa dar gracias y alegrarnos
aun cuando nuestras circunstancias no sean siempre momentos de gozo y acción
de gracias, o cuando somos confrontados con un mundo quebrantado. Los
corresponsables piadosos se alegran y dan gracias en todas las circunstancias
porque son personas de esperanza. Una buena reflexión esta semana podría ser
acerca de cómo la época del Adviento puede darle un motivo de esperanza.

December 25th in the morning. If you
attend Mass at the regular times
Saturday evening or Sunday morning,
we are still obligated to attend either
the Vigil Masses or Mass on Christmas

Sunday does not exempt you from
missing Mass on either Christmas Eve
or Christmas Day, as these are two
separate obligations.

En la víspera de Navidad, el domingo 24 de diciembre, también estaremos celebrando la vigilia Misas en la noche y el día de Navidad el 25 de diciembre por la mañana. Si asistir a Misa a las horas regulares la noche del sábado o domingo por la mañana, todavía estamos obligados a asistir a la vigilia de las masas o la Misa del día de Navidad. Asistiendo a la misa de este domingo no le exime de miss faltante en la víspera de Navidad o el día de Navidad, como estos son dos obligaciones separadas.

GAUDETE SUNDAY
THE THIRD SUNDAY
OF ADVENT
A Joyful Sunday. The Third Sunday
of Advent is also known as Gaudete
Sunday. The word “gaudete” is derived
from the Latin words “gaudium,” joy,
and “gaudeo,” to rejoice or be glad.
Gaudete Sunday occurs eight to thirteen
days before Christmas, and the nearness
of this major feast is reason for great joy. Advent is the season of
preparing for the arrival of the Lord Jesus (both his first coming and his
second coming). Thus it is appropriate to rejoice as we see the goal of the
season approaching: “The Lord is near.” Gaudete – said “Gow-DAY-tay”
– Sunday reminds us that the gift has not yet arrived, but it’s very near.
A Joyful Color. Rose represents joy and may be used as the liturgical
color for Gaudete Sunday. Violet remains the official color for the Season
of Advent, the Third Sunday included, because all of Advent has a
penitential tone, a time of conversion, reparation, and forgiveness.
Gaudete Sunday offers a one-day respite to look ahead to the joyful
celebration of the Nativity. The third candle of the Advent wreath is rose.
Joyful Prayers. The prayers in The Roman Missal on the Third Sunday
of Advent convey a joyful message.
Joyful Readings. The Scripture texts for the Third Sunday of Advent,
Year A, have multiple references to joy. The Responsorial Psalm is a
joyful hymn of praise to God. The readings all give us a reason to rejoice.
DOMINGO DE GAUDETE
EL TERCER DOMINGO
DE ADVIENTO
Un Domingo Feliz. El tercer domingo de
Adviento es también conocido como domingo
Gaudete. La palabra "gaudete" se deriva de las
palabras latinas "gaudium", alegría, y
"gaudeo", a alegrarse o estar contento. Gaudete Domingo ocurre de 8 a 13
días antes de la Navidad, y la cercanía de esta gran fiesta es motivo de gran
alegría. El Adviento es el tiempo de preparación para la llegada del Señor
Jesús (tanto en su primera venida y su segunda venida). Por lo tanto
conviene alegrarse como vemos la meta de la temporada abordar: "El Señor
está cerca." Gaudete - dijo "Gow-DAY-tay" - Domingo nos recuerda que el
don no ha llegado todavía, pero está muy cerca.
Un Color Alegre. Color Rosa, representa alegría y puede ser utilizado
como el color litúrgico de Gaudete domingo. Violeta sigue siendo el color
oficial para el tiempo de Adviento, incluido el tercer domingo de Adviento,
porque todo tiene un tono penitencial, un tiempo de conversión, la
reparación y el perdón. Gaudete Domingo ofrece un día de tregua para mirar
hacia el futuro a la celebración gozosa de la Natividad. La tercera vela de la
corona de adviento es el rosado.
Oraciones Alegres. Las oraciones del Misal Romano en el tercer domingo
de Adviento, transmitir un mensaje de alegría.
Lecturas Alegres. Los textos de las escrituras para el tercer domingo de
Adviento, un año, tienen múltiples referencias a la alegría. El Salmo
responsorial es un gozoso himno de alabanza a Dios. Todas las lecturas nos
dan un motivo para alegrarse.
