Dear parishioners,

The blessing of the Nativity of the Lord has come to us and de-scended into our hearts. Today, through the sacraments, Our Lord is reborn into the hearts of his faithful people. During Advent we have prepared for this divine guest and now Our Lady lays Him in the manger of our hearts. Let us wrap him in the swaddling clothes of prayer and sacrifices and good deeds.

One Holy Night in Bethlehem,The world was about to seeThe birth of a babeBorn for you and me.

The shepherd ran to see the sight,The Magi traveled day and night.The animals knelt in awe and graceTo see the Savior’s baby face.O, Little Town of Bethlehem,God gave you the gloryTo be the first to tell the worldHis blessed Christmas story.

May you and your loved ones experience enduring spiritual joy.Your priests,

Father DavidFather Amado

P.S.: I am something that is filled every morning and emptied every night, except once a year when I am filled at night and emptied in the morning. What am I?

A Christmas stocking!

LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR/CARTA DE NUESTRO PARROCO

Queridos Feligreses,

La bendición de la Natividad del Señor ha llegado a nosotros y ha descendido a nuestros corazones. Hoy, a través de los sacramentos, nuestro Señor renace en el corazón de su pueblo fiel. Durante el Ad-viento nos hemos preparado para este huésped divino y ahora Nuestra Señora lo pone en el pesebre de nuestros corazones. Vamos a envolverlo en mantillas de oración y sacrificios y buenas obras.

Una noche Santa en Belén,el mundo estaba a punto de verel nacimiento de un bebénacido para ti y para mí.

El pastor corrió a ver el acontecimiento,los Reyes Magos viajaron día y noche.Los animales se arrodillaron con asombro y graciapara ver el rostro del recién nacido, del Salvador.Oh, pequeño pueblo de Belén,Dios te dio la gloriade ser el primero en contarle al mundoSu bendita historia Navideña.

Que usted y sus seres queridos lleguen a experimentar una alegría espiritual duradera.Sus sacerdotes,

Padre DavidPadre Amado

P.D.: Soy algo que se llena cada mañana y se vacía cada noche, excepto una vez al año cuando me llenan por la noche y me vacían en la mañana. ¿Qué soy?

¡Una bota de Navidad!

Dec. 23-24, Fourth Sunday of AdventOur Advent time is almost over. We have watched in hope for the coming of Christ at the end of time. We have seen the presence of Christ and God’s Kingdom among us wherever justice and peace triumph over violence and alienation. Now we focus on Mary and the intimacy of birth. Carrying any child requires courage, faith and trust. Every mother wonders about the future of her child. God transforms all of human history by becoming human through Mary’s “Yes!” Like her, will we allow the very fullness of God’s love to fill us and our world this year? Do we have her faith, her courage and her trust?

Diciembre 23-24, Cuarto Domingo de AdvientoNuestro Adviento casi se termina. Hemos esperado la venida de Cristo al final de los tiempos. Hemos visto la presencia de Cristo y del Reino de Dios entre nosotros donde sea que la justicia y la paz triunfan sobre la violencia y la separación. Ahora nos enfocamos en María y la intimidad del nacimiento. Llevar a cualquier niño en el vientre requiere de valor, fe y confianza. Cada madre se pregunta sobre el futuro de su hijo. Dios transforma toda la historia humana al convertirse en humano a través del ¡Sí! de María. Como ella, ¿permitiremos que la totalidad del amor de

Dios nos llene a nosotros y a nuestro mundo este año? ¿Tenemos su fe, su valor y su confianza?

Mary of NazarethMary of Nazareth is an epic motion picture on the life of Mary, mother of Christ, from her childhood through the Resurrection of Jesus. Shot in high definition, it was filmed in Europe with outstanding cinematog-raphy, a strong cast, and a majestic music score. Actress Alissa Jung gives a beautiful, compelling, and inspired portrayal of Mary.

This movie is not rated, but was created with an adult audience in mind. It may contain violence indicative of the life and times of the saint or character portrayed. We would recommend Parental Guid-ance and that parents preview it before watching with children.

Guadalupe y el Misterio del Verbo EncarnadoAudio por Xavier FernándezLa aparición en el Tepeyac trajo al Hijo de Dios al Nuevo Mundo como lo trajo a la cueva de Belén hace dos mil años. Los sacrificios de las pirámides aztecas han sido remplazados por el sacrificio eterno del Cor-dero en los altares católicos. Cada señal milagrosa tiene un significado y el de Guadalupe es recordar que en la eucaristía el verbo encarnado que entro en el cuerpo de Maria entra de nuevo en cada uno de nosotros. En esta presentación el códice de Guadalupe es revelado desde una perspectiva asombrosa, la relación entre Maria, el Apocalipsis, y la sagrada eucaristía.
