Teaching Moment:
What is the significance of the pink candle on the advent wreath? The color rose is only occasionally used liturgically, and it represents “joy”. Halfway through the season of Advent,
we express the “joyful” aspect of anticipating the Lord's coming. You can hear the theme of “joy and rejoicing” throughout the readings and prayers in the Mass. The third Sunday in Advent was nicknamed "Gaudete Sunday"
long ago. Gaudete means “rejoice!” in Latin.
If you have a question, comment or suggestions , please contact: Tony Mandala at [email protected] or the Parish Office: 909-591-7400

Page Three St. Margaret Mary Parish December 14, 2014
Dear Friends, Some people think St. Paul is the greatest missionary. Others St. Francis Xavier or even Mother Teresa. I’m pretty sure they’re wrong. The greatest missionary of all times (not counting the Holy Spirit, who is the guiding force of all missions and all missionaries) has to be Mary of Nazareth, the mother of Jesus. True, Mary hasn’t contributed a single great new thought to theology, or founded a religious community, or become famous for concrete acts of charity to the poor like the saint of Calcutta. Her sole missionary tool is overwhelming sheer total maternal love. And in the power of that love she has cherished, consoled, counseled and converted hundreds of millions of people --- highly intelligent brilliant people … and simple people with not much schooling who perhaps can’t think well at all. We all know people quite certain that Mary came to them in prayer, in a dream, a coincidence, a special conversation. Ireland has St. Patrick, and Rome has St. Peter and St. Paul … but Mexico, indeed all the Americas, and in fact the whole world … has Mother Mary as its evangelizer and missionary saint. The jillion flowers we have in church are hardly enough to express our admiration and appreciation to God for her! Peace, All Good! Fr. Mike Queridos Amigos, Algunas personas piensan que San Pablo es el misionero más grande. Otros piensan San Francisco Javier o incluso la Madre Teresa. Estoy bastante seguro de que están equivocados. El misionero más grande de todos los tiempos (sin contar el Espíritu Santo, que es la fuerza que guía todas las misiones y todos los misioneros) tiene que ser María de Nazaret, la Madre de Jesús. Cierto, María no ha contribuido una sola gran idea nueva a la teología, o fundado una comunidad religiosa, o llegar a ser famosa por actos concretos de caridad a los pobres, como la santa de Calcuta. Su única herramienta misional es el amor maternal total inmensa. Y en el poder de ese amor que ha acariciado, consolado, aconsejado y convertido a cientos de millones de personas --- personas brillantes altamente inteligentes … y gente sencilla que no tienen mucho escolarización que tal vez no pueden pensar nada bien. Todos conocemos a personas muy determinadas que María vino a ellos en la oración, en un sueño, una coincidencia, una conversación especial. Irlanda tiene San Patricio, y Roma tiene San Pedro y San Pablo ... pero México, de hecho todas las Américas, y de hecho todo el mundo ... tiene la Madre María como su santo evangelizador y misionero. Las millones de flores que tenemos en la iglesia son apenas suficientes para expresar nuestra admiración y agradecimiento a Dios por ella! Paz, Todo Bueno Padre Mike
A Note from the Administrator...
WOMEN'S FELLOWSHIP BIBLE STUDY
St. Margaret Mary Women’s Fellowship invites you to join us this New Year in a 10-week study called Proverbs – Learning to Live Wisely.
The Book of Proverbs teaches us how to be successful and prosperous in our work, our dealings with family and friends, and our relationship with God. The direction and guidance they give us is practical, concrete, reasonable and fruitful. We welcome women
18 years and older to make plans once a week to come, study and seek guidance from the Scriptures and other Catholic Christian women and strengthen your personal relationship with Christ.
Register now so together we may grow in wisdom! Our study begins Thursday, January 15th at 6:30 p.m. in our parish hall. There will be registration after all Masses the weekend of January 3rd and 4th. You need not be Catholic or a member of SMM Parish to join. The registration fee is $15.00 due the first night. This includes your book and other materials you will receive during
the study. Feel free to invite friends, neighbors, or family to participate with you! This is a great opportunity to meet new ladies and enjoy the fellowship of other Christian women.
If you have any questions or need additional information, please contact Martha Ward at (909) 598-8220.
