Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to St. Juan Diego in 1531 on Tepeyac Hill in Mexico. Her image was emblazoned upon the tilma which St. Juan Diego wore and can still be seen today. The symbols and colors of her garments and her own demeanor spoke directly to the native peoples of the Americas of the coming birth of God. This appearance of the Mother of God in the Americas led to the conversion of thousands in a single day. In 1945, Pope Pius declared to be the Patroness of all the Americas. Our Lady of Guadalupe, pray for us!

L F T P December 13, 2020 Third Sunday of Advent - Gaudete Sunday

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

In keeping with the ancient tradition of the Church, this Third Sunday of Advent is called Gaudete Sunday. Gaudete is the Latin word for Rejoice. The theme of the Mass derives from Paul’s epistle to the Philippians:

“Rejoice in the Lord, always. I shall say it again: rejoice! Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near. Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ .”

Gaudete Sunday is preceded by two great Marian Feasts, the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception and the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. In both feast days the image of the Woman from the first and last books of the Bible, the Book of Genesis and the Book of Revelation emerges into our conscience. The Blessed Virgin Mary has a singularly prominent role in salvation history. Her “yes” to the will of God that she be the mother of the Messiah is cause for our joy. The Church, metaphorically, calls her the Morning Star that precedes the Rising Sun. As she preceded the first coming of Christ, she will prepare us for His Second Coming.

Therefore, as the Church remains ever vigilant, the Church keeps the Blessed Virgin Mary always before her. From the earliest days of the Church, the first of the Blessed Virgin Mary venerated by the faithful was called Our Lady of the Sign. Our own iconic , Our Lady of the Sign Ark of Mercy, hearkens back to the beginnings of the Church’s sojourn, an image taken from the Book of Revelation:

A great sign appeared in the sky, a woman clothed with the sun, with the moon under her feet, and on her head a crown of twelve stars. She was with child and wailed aloud in pain as she labored to give birth.

This powerful Woman reemerges in history in a specific place and in a wholly unique way when in 1531, Our Lady of Guadalupe appeared to the humble Indian, St. Juan Diego, and through him left the sacred image of herself that would inspire the immediate conversion of countless millions of Indians to the Catholic faith. Her request for a temple was in essence a request for a Bethlehem in the New World where Christ would be born and grow in the hearts of the people and in the heart of the Americas.

We rejoice perpetually that Jesus Christ, born of Woman, in the weakness of our flesh, has redeemed us and sends us forth as Our Lady sent St. Juan Diego to proclaim what we have seen and heard – God is in the midst of his people. As with Juan Diego and John the Baptist, we testify to the light.

In the Catholic tradition, all the Saints are artistically depicted with halos of light. When Our Lady appeared on the Hill of Tepeyac, she was surrounded by light – clothed in light. The light is neither the light of the Saints nor the light of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The light is a reflection of God and a sign that the Saints had given God full possession of their lives.

Imbued with the life of Christ our lives should be a testimony to the world that no matter how dark the dark may be, God’s light is still far greater. We must be “voices crying out in the desert, make straight the way of the Lord.”

Humility is the key to allowing Christ possession of our lives and therefore the cause of our joy. We decrease that He increase. We lose ourselves that He be found. We die to ourselves that He live. Truly, we humbly admit with John the Baptist that we are not worthy to untie the straps of His sandals. With the Blessed Virgin Mary, we daily say “yes” to fulfilling God’s will in our lives, in the hope that God be known, loved, and served by those we meet on the way.

Sincerely in Jesus Christ and the Blessed Virgin Mary, Fr. Anthony Buś, C.R., pastor

C D P 13 de diciembre de 2020 Tercer domingo de Adviento - Domingo Gaudete

Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo:

De acuerdo con la antigua tradición de la Iglesia, este Tercer Domingo de Adviento se llama Domingo Gaudete. Gaudete en latín significa regocijarse. El tema de la Misa deriva de la epístola de Pablo a los Filipenses:

“Regocíjense en el Señor, siempre. Lo diré de nuevo: ¡Regocíjense! Tu amabilidad debe ser conocida por todos. El Señor está cerca. No tengan ansiedad en absoluto, pero en todo, den a conocer tus peticiones a Dios, en oración, súplica y acción de gracias. Entonces la paz de Dios, que sobrepasa todo entendimiento, guardará sus corazones y mentes en Cristo Jesús”.

El Domingo Gaudete está precedido por dos grandes Fiestas Marianas: la Solemnidad de la Inmaculada Concepción y la Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. En ambos días de fiesta aflora a nuestra conciencia la imagen de la Mujer del primer y último libro de la Biblia, el Libro del Génesis y el Libro del Apocalipsis. La Santísima Virgen María tiene un papel singularmente destacado en la historia de la salvación. Su “sí” a la voluntad de Dios de ser la madre del Mesías es motivo de nuestra alegría. La Iglesia, metafóricamente, la nombra Estrella de la Mañana que precede al Sol Naciente. Como ella precedió a la primera venida de Cristo, ella nos preparará para su segunda venida.

Por lo tanto, mientras la Iglesia permanece siempre alerta, la Iglesia mantiene a la Santísima Virgen María siempre delante de ella. Desde los primeros días de la Iglesia, el primer icono de la Santísima Virgen María venerado por los fieles se llamó Nuestra Señora del Signo Arca de Misericordia, se remonta a los inicios de la estancia de la Iglesia, una imagen tomada del Libro del Apocalipsis:

Una gran señal apareció en el cielo, una mujer vestida del sol, con la luna bajo sus pies y en su cabeza una corona de doce estrellas. Estaba en cinta y gemía en voz alta de dolores de parto en la angustia del alumbramiento.

Esta Mujer poderosa resurge en la historia en un lugar específico y de una manera totalmente única cuando, en 1531, Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe se apareció al humilde Indio San Juan Diego, y a través de él dejó la imagen sagrada de sí misma la que inspiraría a la conversión inmediata de millones de indios a la fe católica. Su solicitud de un templo era, en esencia, una solicitud de un Belén en el Nuevo Mundo donde Cristo nacería y crecería en los corazones de la gente y en el corazón de las Américas.

Nos regocijamos perpetuamente de que Jesucristo, que nació de una Mujer en la debilidad de nuestra carne, nos haya redimido y nos haya enviado, como Nuestra Señora envió a San Juan Diego, a proclamar lo que hemos visto y oído: Dios está en medio de su pueblo. Como con Juan Diego y Juan el Bautista, testificamos a la luz.

En la tradición católica, todos los santos están representados artísticamente con una de luz. Cuando Nuestra Señora apareció en el Cerro del Tepeyac, estaba rodeada de luz, vestida de luz. La luz no es la luz de los santos ni la luz de la Santísima Virgen María. La luz es un reflejo de Dios y una señal de que los santos le habían dado a Dios plena posesión de sus vidas.

Inspiradas con la vida de Cristo, nuestras vidas deben ser un testimonio para el mundo de que no importa cuán negra sea la oscuridad, la luz de Dios es aún más grande. Debemos ser "voces que claman en el desierto, enderezan el camino del Señor".

La humildad es la clave para permitir que Cristo posea nuestras vidas y, por lo tanto, la causa de nuestro gozo. Nos reducimos para que Él engrandezca. Nos perdemos para que Él sea encontrado. Morimos a nosotros mismos para que Él viva. En verdad, admitimos humildemente con Juan el Bautista que no somos dignos de desatar las correas de sus sandalias. Con la Santísima Virgen María, todos los días decimos "sí" a cumplir la voluntad de Dios en nuestras vidas, con la esperanza de que Dios sea conocido, amado y servido por aquellos que encontramos en el camino.

Sinceramente en Jesucristo y la Santísima Virgen María, P. Anthony Buś, C.R., pastor Renew My Church Invitation to All Parishioners

Prayer of Entrustment of the United States to the Blessed Virgin Mary

O Most Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of Mercy, we entrust the United States of America to your loving care. Most Holy Mother, we beseech you to reclaim this land for the glory of your Son. Overwhelmed with the burden of the sins of our nation, we cry to you from the depths of our hearts and seek refuge in your motherly protection. Look down with mercy upon us and touch the hearts of our people.

Open our minds to the great worth of human life and to the responsibilities that accompany human freedom. Free us from the falsehoods that lead to the evil of abortion and threaten the sanctity of family life. Grant that our country the wisdom to proclaim that God’s law is the foundation on which this nation was founded, and that He alone is the True Source of our cherished rights to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

O Merciful Mother, give us the courage to reject the culture of death and the strength to build a new Culture of Life. Amen.
