From the Desk of Father Jonathan
During this Advent Season I am following closely the weekly reflections of Pope Francis for people who gather on Wednesdays or Sundays in St. Peter's Square. He is focusing his messages on preparing our hearts for Christmas. Here is Vatican Radio's summary of our Holy Father's reflection where he focuses on "sins of omission". Sins of omission, as you may remember, are the sins we commit by failing to do the good God wants from us. So often we think only of our sins of "commission", the bad things we do. Here below is the summary of Pope Francis' message.
God bless, Father Jonathan
---
As we look into ourselves and recognize our sins, in particular those of omission, Advent he said is a good time to pray more intensely and fill the voids we see. For example, the Pope continued, we are called to be more attentive to the needs of others, and in this way, just like John the Baptist, we can open paths of hope in the arid hearts of so many people.
The Pope also invited the faithful to prepare for the coming of the Lord as we would pre-pare for the arrival of a loved one: “with care and joy”.
“In the same way we must prepare for Jesus: waiting for him with care and expectation so we can be filled with his grace when he arrives” he said.
That voice crying out in the desert, the Pope continued, is also an indication of the climate of conversion and penitence that puts us in the right state to meet the Lord.
“The Savior we are waiting for is capable of transforming our lives with the force of the Holy Spirit, with the strength of love” he said.
Francis concluded pointing out that Our Lady was totally immersed in this reality, allowing herself to be “baptized” by the Holy Spirit who filled her with his power: “May she, who pre-pared for the arrival of Christ with the totality of her existence, help us to follow his example and may she guide us in our steps to meet the Lord who is coming”.
+ REST IN PEACE + Please pray for all the faithful departed.

REJOICE!
Isaiah proclaims truly good news to us! God’s coming brings not sadness, guilt, fear, wrath, or condemnation. No, God’s coming is a source of comfort and joy. Saying it once is not enough, for today’s readings are full of joy. Mary’s Magnificat substitutes for our psalm today, and our second reading encourages us to rejoice, to give thanks and praise. This is the root meaning of the Greek word for eucharist. We are urged to rejoice and give thanks, because the coming of the Lord brings joy, healing, liberty, release, vindication. It makes the very earth spring up with new life! Good tidings!

RALLEGRATEVI!
Il messaggero, annunciato nel vangelo di domenica scorsa, è descritto in modo più dettagliato dall’evangelista Giovanni. Egli ci
ricorda, infatti, i dialoghi che Giovanni Battista ebbe con sacerdoti e leviti, venuti da Gerusalemme per interrogarlo. Era forse il Messia? No, rispose
Giovanni Battista: “Io sono voce di uno che grida nel deserto: Preparate la via del Signore, come disse il profeta Isaia ” (Gv 1,23).
Sant’Agostino commenta: “Giovanni Battista era una voce, ma in principio il Signore era il Verbo. Giovanni fu una voce per un certo tempo, ma
Cristo, che in principio era il Verbo, è il Verbo per l’eternità” (Serm 293). “Egli - dice l’evangelista Giovanni - venne come
testimone per rendere testimonianza alla luce, perché tutti credessero per mezzo di lui ”. Vi sentiamo un’eco del prologo: “Veniva nel mondo
la luce vera, quella che illumina ogni uomo ” (Gv 1,9). Anche noi dobbiamo essere suoi testimoni (Gv
15,27) e ciò, prima di tutto, nella santità delle nostre vite perché “ mi ha rivestito delle vesti di salvezza, mi ha avvolto con il manto della
giustizia” (Is 61,10). © lachiesa.it

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The presepio, characterized by framing the crèche of Jesus with a vast array of personalities and a rich geo-graphical context. The tradition was carried to the New World, and finds very rich expression in Latin America today. While in Europe the presepio was reserved mostly to the homes of wealthy nobles and great churches, in Latin America it was claimed by the poor and expressed the skills of native artisans. In Mexico, you can still find clay figures in every village market. In a way, the native people took the religion of Spanish rule and baptized it with their Indian culture by surrounding the crib of Jesus with local geography and people. In Brazil, where Christ-mas falls in summer, the figure of the baby Jesus is wrapped in gold and gems, and set on a hillside surround-ed by flowers and animals of all kinds. Sometimes there is a double presepio, presenting both Nativity and Cruci-fixion.

¡ALÉGRATE! ¡Isaías realmente nos proclama una buena nueva! La venida del Señor no trae tristeza, culpa, miedo, ira ni condena. No, la venida del Señor es fuente de júbilo y consuelo. No basta con decirlo una vez, las lecturas de hoy están llenas de júbilo. El Magníficat de María reemplaza a nuestro salmo hoy y nuestra segunda lectura nos anima a alegrarnos, dar gracia y rendir alabanza. Éste es el significado principal de la palabra griega para eucaristía. Se nos insta a alegrarnos y dar gracias, porque la venida del Señor trae júbilo, curación, libertad, perdón y vindicación. ¡Hace que la tierra eche brotes de vida nueva! ¡Buenas noticias!

UN REGALO PARA NUESTROS NIÑOS
Tomando un Angelito de nuestro árbol de Navidad en la entrada de la Iglesia e intercambiarlo por un regalo, para los Niños de la parroquia... Los regalos serán entregados el domingo,7 de Enero del 2018
¡MUCHAS GRACIAS!
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El día 16 de diciembre comienza la Novena de Aguinaldos en Colombia y otras partes de Latinoa-mérica. La novena consiste en 9 partes que se repi-ten por 9 noches:
1‑ Oración inicial 4‑ Reflexión del día 2‑ Oración Mariana 5‑ Gozos 3‑ Oración de José 6‑ Oración al Niño Jesús 7‑ Un Salmo 8‑ Invocación final 9‑ Villancicos (cantos navideños)
Los participantes buscan aguinaldo (regalo). Pa-ra esto los colombianos tienen la costumbre de jugar “pajita en boca” buscando quien no trae una pajita en boca. La persona que no pueda mostrar que trae pajita en boca tiene que dar un regalo a quien lo descubrió. Los aguinaldos son recuerdo del regalo que nos dio Dios en su Hijo Jesús, prenda de su amor. Y si Dios nos da un aguinaldo tan grande es porque Dios no tiene pajita en boca cuando nos dice que nos ama.
En el corazón de la Novena está el refrán de Go-zos: Dulce Jesús mío / mi niño adorado ven a nuestras almas / ven no tardes tanto. Muy buen mensaje para el Adviento.
