Dear Families,

No one knows when Jesus will come back, but we know we will see him face-to-face someday. As we eagerly await Christmas and the celebration of Jesus’ birth, we remember that we should always be waiting for Jesus.

As a family watch video in its entirety then ask each other this question. When you are waiting for someone, how do you fill the time?

Family Prayer:  Jesus, help us to pay attention to your words and teachings. 

Help us to follow you always.  Amen

1st Sunday of Advent

Dear Sisters and Brothers,

       After Thanksgiving we know it is the end of November; and wintery air, frost in the morning, and even snow can’t be a total surprise. We just ended our liturgical year, with the Feast of Christ the King of the Universe. The only missing part is, that we don’t see Jesus face to face yet, so we cry out- Come Lord Jesus!!!

       Now we will be using year B for our Sunday cycle readings, with the Gospel of St Mark and starting theme of Advent is the Second coming of Christ. His glorious coming is awaited by all believers who long to experience full presence of God in their lives. So the First Reading from the prophet Isaiah puts almost pressure on God to come and manifest himself with power and might, so as to turn people’s attention from selfish ways. The prophet confesses our human need for God’s involvement in molding “the work of your hands.”

1er Domingo de Adviento

Queridas Hermanas y Hermanos,

   Despues del Dia de Acción de Gracias sabemos que estamos a finales de Noviembre; y el aire invernal, las heladas por la mañana e incluso la nieve no pueden ser una sorpresa total. Acabamos de terminar nuestro año litúrgico, con la Fiesta de Cristo Rey del Universo. La única parte que falta es que todavía no vemos a Jesus cara a cara, asi que gritamos: ¡!! Ven, Señor Jesus ¡!!

   Ahora usaremos el año B para nuestras lecturas del ciclo Dominical, con el Evangelio de San Marcos y comenzando estas de Adviento es la Segunda Venida de Cristo. Todos los creyentes que anhelan experimentar la plena presencia de Dios en sus vidas esperan su venida gloriosa. Asi que la Primera Lectura del profeta Isaias casi presiona a Dios para que venga y se manifieste con poder y fuerza, a fin de desviar la atención de la gente de los caminos egoístas. El profeta confiesa nuestra necesidad humana de que Dios se involucre en moldear “la obra de tus manos”.

As Catholics, our respect for life should include those who have left this world and moved on to their eternal life. November is the month that the Catholic Church dedicates to the Souls in Purgatory. Following All Saints Day on November 1st, we have the feast of all souls Day on November 2^nd.

It is our job, as the Church Militant, to pray for those loved ones who reside in the Church Penitent - our loved ones in purgatory. Our prayers help cleanse them of their sins so they may gain entrance into the Church Triumphant - heaven.
