Today is the 1st Sunday of the Advent Season. The prayers of the Mass ask that hope become a part of our life. We pray that with hope, we can live in peace, that all people will share their riches with the poor and that those who are strong will protect those who are weak. We remember that hope is renewed every Advent Season. The Gospel communicates hope to us by revealing how God will save faithful people from evil sources. During the 2nd Sunday of Advent, we pray for peace. We realize through our prayer, that peace comes from loving one another and that only for our devotion to our Lord, comes true peace. We acknowledge that His love is stronger than our weaknesses, our pride and our fears. During the 3rd Sunday of Advent, we pray for joy, but know that all people are not joyful. The readings and Gospel tell us that “The Lord, your God, is in your midst...” and that we can rejoice in the Lord always. John the Baptist tells us, what Jesus later affirms, that caring for those in need, fairness in all our actions and no violence, leads to authentic joy. During the 4th Sunday of Advent, we pray for God’s love to dwell in our hearts. We pray that His love will teach us to love Him and our neighbors as we love ourselves. The readings and Gospel contain the basic revelation of the full identity of Jesus, God made man. God so loves the world that He gave His only Son, so that all who believe in Him might have eternal life. The Word became Flesh, not to suffer but to live and to share divine love. A season of Hope, Peace, Joy and Love is what Advent is about.

In a number of Bible passages we find that the heart is the bases of our emotions, passions, moral decisions, attitudes, and thoughts of our lives. It is God Himself who is the creator, and we like David cry out “create in me a pure heart” (Psalm 50). What has happen to our hearts then? Why have we allowed corrosion, sin, and temptation to live in our hearts? We have allowed this organ to become deceitful and beyond cure (Jer 17:9). Undoubtedly our condition is of vital importance for our emotional and spiritual wellbeing,. For now, just for this time, I would like for us to concentrate on the heart of which the Bible speaks, grateful and dwelling of the spirit. Each day in our lives, in all events big or small, we should truly become meticulous and careful about the details. Now that we have had time to share with our families, did we truly express our love and consideration for them? If you had the opportunity to sit at the table and pray to God; to eat a delicious turkey dinner… did you think about the importance not being about the food but in the strength and unity that came from the gathering, where the fraternity, simplicity, and at the same time elegance, we could enjoy not only a good dinner, but more so of the great company. Many of us might not have had the opportunity to sit at the table; it could be because our families are far away, it could also be, if indeed they were close, that they did not celebrate. In any case did this day serve to show you the worth of who you are, of who your loved ones are and those closest to your heart? In our parish and in our Church, little by little, we are growing in our love and respect for God and for ourselves. It shows in the way our space is filling up, not only because of the number of faithful or parishioners, but of love, compassion, service, and the cry for justice. Today on this first Sunday of Advent, I hope each of us will call out from the most profound place: Come Lord Jesus! It is from a grateful heart that we should pray for one and other. Remember before going to mass to entrust your brothers and sister to our Lord, at that time they will probably be leaving the church; equally, we should also remember as we leave the mass those who will come to occupy the same space we ourselves occupied… All this gratitude in our midst. Cultivating a gracious heart is no easy task. We have so many conscious and unconscious obstacles that we need to overcome. Once there is forgiveness and healing we will jump with joy for all we have discovered, that God is in our lives because we have given Him control of all that we are and all that we hope for. Furthermore we have experienced the enormous joy of calling ourselves children of God and have had the unmatched satisfaction of knowing that the Holy Spirit guides our journey to please our heavenly Father and to announce to many others “the praises of him who called you out of darkness into his wonderful light” (1 Peter 2:9). My humble prayer is for the Lord to motivate us that we may continue to seek more and more, and for Him to grant us a true grateful heart.

Il tono delle letture di oggi ci mette nel ruolo di studenti che imparano una solenne lezione. Comincia con la lettura da Isaia, che ci chiama su una montagna per ricevere le istruzioni del Signore. In questo brano studiamo la pace. Poi San Paolo avanza con serie ammonizioni. Dobbiamo svegliarci, il giorno e’ quasi vicino. Vivete onorevolmente nella luce. San Paolo ci ricorda che noi sappiamo il tempo in cui viviamo. In fine, San Matteo presenta Gesu’ il raccontatore. Immaginate, ci dice Gesu’, come erano le cose al tempo di Noe’. Egli ci presenta una vivida imagine di gente ordinaria che vive una vita ordinaria e ignora gli avvisi di Noe’. Completamente tranquilli, loro furono distrutti. Sara’ differente per noi? Nessuno sa quando il Signore verra’. Ma siamo stati avvisati. Forse troviamo queste scritture allarmanti e minacciose. Ma in loro c’e’ una promessa. Dobbiamo vivere nella luce senza nascondere niente. Dobbiamo essere pronti. ADVENT PENANCE SERVICE Whether it has been just a few weeks or a few years, celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation this Advent Season. Our Lady of the Angels Advent Penance Service will be held at Immaculate Conception Church on Tuesday, 16 December 2014 at 7:00PM.

Please pick up yours at your earliest convenience. Thank you for your cooperation. A te, Signore, elevo l’anima mia, Dio mio, in te confido: che io non sia confuso. Non trionfino su di me i miei nemici. Chiunque spera in te non resti deluso.

ATTENTION LECTORS WORKBOOK FOR 2015 The new Church Year will be available in the Church office. Please make sure you pick up your copy. STEWARDSHIP EXPRESSIONS Advent provides an opportunity for us to begin again and to prepare ourselves anew for the coming of Jesus Christ. It is a time of waiting and expectation, of anticipation and preparation. We can use the coming weeks for personal prayer, growth and change in the way we live. Anticipating the Nativity of Jesus, we can dedicate special time toward considering our relationship with him. As we recall previous Advents, we remember those who inspire us through their faith and actions. We too can be memorable mentors and models to others through our demonstrations of discipleship and stewardship. 594 READING OF THE DAY GETTING READY Today marks the beginning of another liturgical year. The tone of today’s readings casts us in the role of students learning solemn lessons. The reading from Isaiah sets the stage, calling us up a mountain to receive the Lord’s instruction. In this passage we study peace. Then Paul steps forth with sober admonitions. We have to wake up; the day is almost here. Live honorably in the light. Paul reminds us that we really do know the time in which we are living. Finally, Matthew presents Jesus the storyteller. Just imagine, Jesus tells us, what it was like in Noah’s time. He paints a vivid picture of ordinary people living ordinary lives and ignoring the warnings that Noah heeded. Totally unconcerned, they were destroyed. How will it be any different for us? No one knows when the Lord will come. But we have been warned. Perhaps we find such sobering scriptures unappealing and threatening. But within them there is promise. We are to live in the light with nothing to hide. We are to be ready. TODAY’S READINGS: First Reading: Isaiah 63: 16b-17 Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 1: 3-9 Gospel: Mark 13:33-37 Lord, rend the heavens and come down. Come and save us from our sins. Let us turn again to you and so be found blameless when you return in glory. From Ordo 2013 REFLECTION QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK ADULT: Name one thing you will do each day this week to remind yourself of Jesus’ coming? CHILD: What can you do each day this week to get ready for Jesus to come into your heart? To you, I lift up my soul, O my God. In you, I have trusted; let me not be put to shame. Nor let my enemies exult over me; and let none who hope in you be put to shame. (Cf. Psalm 25 (24):1-3) 594 30 de Noviembre de 2014 Página Cinco GRACIAS DE CORAZON! En muchos pasajes de la Biblia encontramos que el corazón es la sede de nuestras emociones, pasiones, decisiones morales, actitudes y pensamientos de nuestra vida. Es Dios mismo quien lo ha creado, y somos nosotros los que como David, clamamos por tener un corazón puro (Salmo 50). Que ha pasado entonces con nuestro corazón? Por qué le hemos permitido a la polilla, la corrosión, el pecado y la tentación habitar en Él? Hemos dejado que este órgano, se convierta en engañoso y perverso (Jer 17.9). Es indudable que su condición es de vital importancia para nuestro bienestar emocional y espiritual. Por ahora, por este tiempo quiero que nos concentremos en el corazón del que habla la Biblia como agradecido y como morada del Espíritu. Cada día en nuestra vida, en los acontecimientos pequeños y grandes, debemos volvernos verdaderamente detallistas y cuidadosos. Ahora que tuvimos la oportunidad de compartir en familia, expresamos con ellos verdaderamente nuestro cariño y nuestra consideración de amor? Si tuviste la oportunidad de sentarte a la mesa y de orar a Dios, y de comer un rico pavo….pensaste que la importancia no estaba en el hecho del alimento, sino en la fuerza y la unión que venía de esa reunión, en donde con fraternidad, sencillez y al mismo tiempo con elegancia, pudimos degustar no solo de un buen alimento, sino más aún de una buena compañía. Muchos de nosotros, quizá no tuvimos la oportunidad de sentarnos a la mesa. Puede ser que nuestras familias están lejos, puede ser que incluso si estaban cerca no tuvieron una celebración…Pero te sirvió este día para reconocer el gran valor de quien eres y de quienes son los amados y cercanos en tu corazón? En nuestra Parroquia, en nuestra Iglesia, hemos ido poco a poco, creciendo en un mayor amor y respeto a Dios y a nosotros mismos. Se puede ver como nuestros espacios se llena más, no solo de miembros y fieles sino de amor, compasión, servicio y clamor por justicia. Hoy en este primer domingo de Adviento, espero que nuestro ser clame desde lo más profundo: Ven Señor Jesús! Es de un corazón agradecido, que oremos los unos por los otros. Que recordemos que antes de ir a Misa, encomiendo a mis hermanos que probablemente al mismo tiempo están saliendo de la Iglesia; debemos recordar igualmente cuando salimos a aquellos que vendrán a ocupar quizás los mismos lugares que ocupamos…Todo este ambiente de gratitud. Cultivar un corazón agradecido no es una tarea fácil en sí. Tenemos tantos obstáculos conscientes e inconscientes que debemos superar. Una vez que este el perdón y la sanación saltaremos de gratitud por lo que hemos ido descubriendo, pues Él está en nuestra vida debido a que nosotros le hemos entregado el control de todo lo que somos y anhelamos. Además, hemos experimentado el gozo inmenso de poder llamarnos hijos de Dios y la satisfacción inigualable de saber que el Espíritu Santo guía nuestros pasos para agradar a nuestro Padre celestial y poder anunciar a muchos otros “las virtudes de aquel que nos llamó de las tinieblas a su luz admirable” (1 P 2.9). Mi pobre oración es para que el Señor nos motive a todos a seguir buscándolo más y más y que nos permita tener un corazón verdaderamente agradecido. Bendiciones, Fr. Caesar A.

Síganos en facebook www.facebook.com/olatrenton 594 LECTURA DEL DÍA CÓMO PREPARARSE Hemos completado el círculo y hoy empezamos un nuevo año litúrgico. El tono de las lecturas de hoy nos pone en la posición del estudiante que aprende unas importantes lecciones. La lectura de Isaías prepara la escena, invitándonos a subir a la montaña para escuchar las instrucciones del Señor. En este pasaje estudiamos la paz. Luego Pablo nos presenta admoniciones sombrías. Debemos estar alertas porque el día está a la puerta. Vivan honradamente en la luz. Pablo nos recuerda que sabemos en qué tiempo vivimos. Finalmente, Mateo nos presenta a Jesús, el relator. Imagínense, nos dice Jesús, lo que era vivir en tiempos de Noé. Presenta una imagen muy realista de gente común viviendo vidas ordinarias e ignorando las advertencias que Noé escuchó. Totalmente despreocupados, fueron destruidos. ¿Podrá ser diferente para nosotros? Nadie sabe cuando vendrá el Señor. Pero nos advirtió. Tal vez pensemos que ese tipo de Escritura es desagradable y amenazante. Pero contiene promesas. Debemos vivir en la luz; con nada escondido. Debemos estar listos. LAS POSADAS: Una vez más invitamos a nuestros feligreses a unirse en la celebración de Las Posadas. Esta tradición recuerda el viaje de María y José por Belén en búsqueda de posada antes del nacimiento de Jesús. Serán 9 días recorriendo diferentes hogares. Favor ver la lista adjunta para las familias que recibirán las posadas. Todos son bienvenido. A ti, Señor, levanto mi alma; Dios mío, en ti confío, no quede yo defraudado. Que no se burlen de mí mis enemigos; pues los que esperan en ti, no quedan defraudados.

Laila Skye Young Alexa Rodríguez Talissa DeLima Jeidy Maza Julissa Maza Maria Lidia Landaverde Emmanuel Pérez Quezada Juan Vasquez Shayle Vasquez Jennifer Vasquez Katelyn Bartles Welcome to our recently registered/reregistered families Damos la bienvenida a las familias que se han registrado en nuestra parroquia Mr. Orlando Mora Mr. Edin De León & Mrs. María Mena Mr. & Mrs. Oscar Guerra Mr. Dany Soc Mr. Miguel Yarigsicha & Mrs. Ana Niola Ms. Nicole Espinoza Mrs. Elena Florián Salazar Mr. Isaac Guerra Mr. Eddy Lopez 594 EL TIEMPO DE ADVIENTO Hoy revisaremos las cuatro semanas de Adviento para determinar lo que esta estación representa, basándonos en las oraciones recitadas durante el encendido de las velas de la corona de Adviento y algunas de las lecturas y los evangelios para este período. Hoy es el Primer domingo del Tiempo de Adviento. Las oraciones de la Misa nos piden que la esperanza empiece a ser parte de nuestra vida. Oramos para que, con esperanza, podamos vivir en paz, para que todas las personas compartan sus riquezas con los pobres y para que aquellos que son más fuertes, protejan a los que son más débiles. Recordamos que la esperanza se renueva cada temporada de Adviento. El Evangelio nos comunica esa esperanza revelándonos como Dios salvará a los fieles de las fuentes del mal. Durante el Segundo Domingo de Adviento, oramos por paz. Nos damos cuenta que, por medio de nuestras oraciones, la paz viene amándonos los unos a los otros, y que solamente con la devoción a nuestro Señor, alcanzamos la paz verdadera. Reconocemos que Su amor es más fuerte que nuestra debilidad, nuestro orgullo y nuestros temores. Durante el Tercer Domingo de Adviento, oramos por alegría, pero sabiendo que no todas las personas son felices. Las lecturas y el Evangelio nos dicen que “El Señor, nuestro Dios, está entre nosotros…” y que nos regocijemos en el Señor siempre. Juan Bautista nos dice lo que Jesús afirmó más tarde que, cuidando de aquellos más necesitados, actuando con justicia en todas nuestras acciones y la no violencia, nos lleva a una auténtica alegría. Durante el Cuarto Domingo de Adviento, oramos para que el amor de Dios habite en nuestros corazones. Oramos para que Su amor nos enseñe a amarlo a Él y a nuestro prójimo como nos amamos a nosotros mismos. Las lecturas y el Evangelio contienen la revelación básica de la identidad completa de Jesús, Dios hecho hombre. Dios ama tanto al mundo que nos dio a Su Único Hijo, para que todos aquellos que crean en Él tendrán vida eterna. La Palabra se hizo carne, no para sufrir, sino para vivir y compartir amor divino.
