Suerte Felipe Christmas is Christ’s Mass In the spirit of Christmas, we pause and ask, “What is the connection between Christmas and the Holy Mass (which has been our topic since we started this column)?” Christmas is a compound word of two English words: Christ’s Mass. And what do we celebrate in the Holy Mass? Christ’s Paschal Mystery. The term “Paschal” derives from the Hebrew Pesach which means “the passing over.” It is applied to the three essentially related events: the Passover meal, the annual feast of the Passover, and the historical Passover of deliverance of the Israelites from death. Before the Israelites left Egypt, the Lord had prescribed the Passover meal (Ex 12:1-20), establishing it as an annual “memorial feast” (cf. Ex 12:14) to commemorate God’s “passing over” the houses of the Israelites whose doorposts and lintel were smeared with the blood of the sacrificed lamb which saved them from death. In the New Testament, Jesus fulfilled the Jewish “memorial feast” (cf. Ex 12:14) at the Last Supper in which he commanded his disciples to “do this in memory of me” (Lk 22:19). Christ himself is the Paschal Lamb, “the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world” (Jn 1:29). “For our paschal lamb, Christ, has been sacrificed. Therefore let us celebrate the feast” (1 Cor 5:7-8). For us Christians, the Jewish celebration of “the LORD’s Passover” (Ex 12:11) prefigures our celebration of “the Lord’s Supper” (1 Cor 11:20), the oldest name for the Holy Mass. The Hebrew Pesach was translated into Greek and Latin as Pascha and Spanish Pascua which is the origin of the Filipino Pasko. Interestingly, Filipinos refer to Christmas as Pasko ng Pagsilang and Easter as Pasko ng Pagkabuhay. This is significant because the Paschal Mystery, which is the theological content of the Holy Mass, is already prefigured at the birth of Jesus. His rejection (“there was no room for them in the inn”) already points to his Death and his birth to his Resurrection. The Holy Mass or Holy Communion is already foreshadowed by the location of his birth. Jesus was born in Bethlehem, which means “house of bread”. The Virgin Mary “wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger” (Lk 2:7). A manger is a feeder usually of wood construction used to hold food for animals. Christ continues to give us his Body and Blood at our celebration of the Holy Mass, which consists of two major parts, namely, “the Liturgy of the Word and the Liturgy of the Eucharist, these being so closely interconnected that they form but one single act of worship. For in the Mass is spread the table both of God’s Word and of the Body of Christ, and from it the faithful are to be instructed and refreshed” (General Instruction on the Roman Missal 28). Merry Christ’s Mass! Give Thanks for The Religious Dé Gracias por los Religiosos “We can certainly call you friends because of the way you care for our retired members,” writes a religious brother. Your gift for last week’s collection for the Retirement Fund for Religious benefits some 35,000 senior sisters, brothers, and religious order priests. May God bless you for your generosity! “Ciertamente les podemos llamar amigos por la manera en que cuidan a nuestros miembros jubilados”, escribe un hermano religioso. Su donativo a la colecta de la semana pasada destina al Fondo para la Jubilación de Religiosos ayuda a cerca de 35,000 hermanas, hermanos y sacerdotes de órdenes religiosas ancianos. Que Dios los bendiga por su generosidad! December 21, 2014 4th Sunday of Advent 5 There was this story years ago in a small midwestern town about one man’s job was to watch the railroad crossing. When a train would approach at night he was to wave a lantern to warn those driving on the narrow road that a train was approaching and to stop until it passed by. One particular night the train was coming down the tracks as usual and the man took his place to warn any oncoming cars. He could see a car in the distance approaching the railroad tracks so he began to wave his lantern in the moonlit sky. The car continued to come so the man waved the lantern even more briskly. The train was only seconds away from the crossing. The car was not even slowing down. The man could not believe it so he waved the lantern even harder. Still the car came. The car was almost to the track and the train was about to pass. Again he frantically waved his lantern and the car continued to come at full speed. Finally the man jumped out of the way as the car sped by and was hit by the train on the tracks. Everyone in the car was killed. At the investigation the grief-stricken man explained to the authorities how he tried to warn the oncoming car but it would not stop. The officer in charge said to the man at the crossing, “Sir, you waved your lantern, but you forgot to light it.” God called us to be the lights to the world. As Christians it is our mission to take the Gospel to everyone we can. But it does not good to tell people about Jesus if the light within us is not shining. Without the light of Christ, we will have little impact. The Light of the World - Jesus - will celebrate his birthday, what is the best gift you can give to him? -Fr.

God has a plan for the salvation of the world, which works out in various generations over the centuries. Throughout today’s’ readings, we see Nathan, Paul , Elizabeth and Mary responding to God’s call to them. We, too, are called to participate in His plan. Let us be open to God in our lives and give Him thanksgiving and praise. Daily Advent Prayer: Father, all powerful and ever-living God, we do well always and everywhere to give you thanks through Jesus Christ our Lord. When he humbled himself to come among us, he fulfilled the plan you formed long ago and opened for us the way to salvation. Now we watch for the day, hoping that the salvation promised us will be ours when Christ will come again in his glory. And so, with all the choirs of angels in heaven we proclaim your glory and join in their unending hymn of praise: Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord Hosanna in the highest. The candles for the Advent Wreath will be carried in during the entrance procession each week beginning next week. All parishioners are invited to participate by carrying in the candles. Individuals, youth, children and family members are encouraged to participate in this parish ceremony.

Santa Safety Seguridad de Santa Here are some simple guidelines for parents, guardians, and grandparents to employ to make sure that children have a safe and happy visit with Santa’s helper: When your child is with Santa’s helper, consider encouraging him or her to stand next to Santa or sit on the floor between his feet rather than sitting on his lap. Let your child know that it’s okay to tell Santa what he or she wants for Christmas but that he or she should also tell mom and dad because they are also Santa’s helpers… Secret surprises are special but no adult should ask a child to keep secrets from the child’s parents. Make sure that the Santa visit is out in the open—or make sure that parents, guardians, and grandparents are included in the interaction. For copy of the VIRTUS® article “Safety for Children and Santa Helpers,” email [email protected]. Aquí presentamos unas instrucciones sencillas para uso de los padres, guardianes y abuelos para asegurar que los niños tengan una visita de Santa segura y alegre: Cuando su hijo/a esté con Santa, considere animarlo/a a pararse al lado de Santa o sentarse en el piso cerca de sus pies en lugar de sentarse sobre sus piernas. Déjele saber a su hijo/a que está bien decirle a Santa lo que quiere para Navidad, pero que también le digan a Mamá y Papá porque ellos también son ayudantes de Santa… Las sorpresas secretas son especiales, pero ningún adulto debe pedirle a un niño que tenga secretos con sus padres. Asegúrese que la visita de Santa sea en un espacio abierto, o que los padres, guardianes y abuelos estén incluidos en la actividad.
