Kunsthistorisches Museum, Vienna Page 2 Third Sunday of Advent (Cycle C) A Sunday Reflection On Gaudete Sunday the Church bids us rejoice for our salvation is near. The readings are filled with that hopeful and joyful expectation. From the depths of the Old Testament, the prophet Zephaniah calls us to shout for joy, sing and exult (Zep 3:14). St. Paul, in turn, tells the Philippians: “Rejoice in the Lord always. Again I say: rejoice!” (Phil 4:4). In that sense, we can say that Advent is a joyful season. How should we express that joy? When John the Baptist is asked how to prepare for the coming of the Messiah, he responds by telling his followers to share with those who have nothing (Lk 3:11), to keep MASS INTENTIONS away from defrauding or falsely accusing others, and to be satisfied Intenciones Misas with what we have (cf. Lk 3:14). His advice is as valid today as it was 2,000 years ago. Sat/Sab, December 15 5:30 pm Alberto Zarranz As we prepare our hearts to celebrate the birth of our Savior, let us Stephanie Balais not think so much of accumulating material things. Let us remember Lilia Fernández the Lord’s many blessings and share them with others, for “it is more Sun/Dom, December 16 blessed to give than to receive” (Acts 20:35). God bless you! 9:00 am Yvette A. Fleming Hodge Juan Granados Fr.

Las lecturas están llenas de esa alegre 7:00 pm Luz María Ramírez esperanza. Desde lo profundo del Antiguo Testamento, el profeta Issa Jadalla María Sofonías nos llama a gritar con alegría, cantar y exultar (Sof 3,14). Mon/Lun, December 17 San Pablo a su vez dice a los Filipenses: “Estén siempre alegres en 8:00 am Thanksgiving for St. Eduviges el Señor. Lo repito, estén alegres” (Flp 4,4). En ese sentido, Intercession podemos decir que el Adviento es tiempo de alegría. Tue/Mar, December 18 ¿Cómo expresar esa alegría? Cuando los seguidores de Juan el 8:00 am Migdalia Membiela Dr. José Antonio Tapia Ruiz Bautista le preguntan cómo prepararse para recibir al Mesías, este 7:00 pm Oscar Macías responde diciéndoles que compartan sus bienes con los necesitados (Lc 3,11), que no engañen ni difamen a nadie y que se contenten Wed/Mier, December 19 con lo que tienen (cf. Lc 3,14). Su consejo es tan válido hoy como 8:00 am José de la Torre Caridad Valladares hace 2,000 años. Thu/Jue, December 20 Al preparar nuestros corazones para celebrar el nacimiento del 8:00 am Demetrio & Sergio Castillo Salvador, no pensemos en acumular cosas materiales.

Archbishop Joseph W. Tobin supported the president’s plan, stating, “A significant percentage of people in our congregations who are undocumented live in families with both U.S. citizenship and legal status. Protecting children from getting separated from their parents, and husbands from their wives, should be a sacred act and extension of our ministries. We applaud the president’s actions as consistent with the family values guiding our country.” Angie Reyes, a member of Holy Spirit Parish in Indianapolis, rejoiced during a watch party hosted by the Indianapolis As part of the entertainment at the Intercultural Ministry Awards Dinner on Nov. 15 at the Archbishop Edward T.

  • 2020 November Tau Fraternity
    Tau Fraternity of the Secular Franciscan Order – Herndon, Virginia St. Margaret of Cortona Region https://tauofs.org/ November 2020 MINISTER’S MESSAGE Peace and all good! “But he wanted to justify himself, so he asked Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” (Luke 10:29) In his most recent encyclical, “Fratelli tutti” (“Brothers all”), Pope Francis has for us a very explicit message that directly relates to this Gospel passage: “We need to develop the awareness that nowadays we are either all saved together or no one is saved. Poverty, decadence and suffering in one part of the earth are a silent breeding ground for problems that will end up affecting the entire planet.” (No. 137) Who is my neighbor? Pope Francis’ answer is: The world. Is that thought overwhelming? Do the issues he cites appear too complex; their scale too insurmountable? Failed states; corrupt and ineffectual politicians; seemingly endless conflict and despair. What can I do, as just one person? These are natural reactions. But the reality is, we are all connected. What happens to one, happens to all. That may seem implausible — the drowned migrant; the starving refugee in a war zone; the child dying from a preventable disease... they are probably most familiar to us as distant and pitiful images on a glowing screen. Does their plight really impact us, from all the way on the other side of the world, or a wall? Pope Francis says it should, and it can. Like a shockwave, human suffering can spread. We already see its careful containment slipping; no longer are the dispossessed as geographically isolated as they once were.
