2° SUNDAY IN ADVENT TIME Reflection in preparation for next weekend’s Gospel
What does it mean to be worthy? There are a few different ways to approach this question. Today’s Gospel highlights two: the way of the Pharisees and the way of John the Baptist. Our faith values good works and discipleship. Perhaps, then, we “earn” our worth by adhering to the right doctrines and following the right pious practice. The Pharisees thought they were worthy. Due to their religious pedigree and proper procedures, they were self-satisfied. John the Baptist’s words to them are strong. “Do not resume to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’” Of course, Jesus (and John) don’t omit the responsibility for moral behavior. John gives the Pharisees quite a strong warning in that regard. “Produce good fruit as evidence of your repentance … every tree that does not bear good fruit will be cut down and thrown into the fire.” It’s a question of attitude. Of disposition. It’s a matter of the heart. If anyone would be worthy in this scenario, it’s John the Baptist. Jesus himself will name him the greatest of prophets and a great man. John, however, recognizes his own lowly place in the grand scheme of things. “The one who is coming after me is mightier than I. I am not worthy to carry his sandals.” The Pharisees take pride in being “better” than others. John embraces humility in Christ being “better” than him. We don’t self-generate our own worthiness. We receive it as a gift from God. In a few short weeks, we’ll celebrate the birth of Christ. Bishop Ven. Fulton Sheen wrote about the Nativity in his “Life of Christ”: “Because [Jesus] was born in a cave, all who wish to see Him must stoop. To stoop is the mark of humility. The proud refuse to stoop and, therefore, they miss divinity.” God invites us to prepare our hearts this Advent. When you consider your own life, where are you looking for your worth? This Christmas, are you prepared to stoop?

When to Say No: Learning You Can’t do it
by KATE SEDDON
For me, it took a while until I actually made a change in my over -committed schedule. I was a competitive swimmer for a little over twelve years and as the years went on, the more committed I got. Before I knew it, I was waking up at 4 in the morning to swim for 2.5 hours, showering at the local LA Fitness. Then rushing to school for the next seven hours of my day. Right when school end-ed, I went straight to the pool again for another 3 -hour practice and then off to my weight trainer for another 2 hours of trying to get swole. My life revolved around swim and because of this, I had to make room for school. Due to this chaotic schedule and the fact that my only goal was to make it to junior nation-als, my mental health was nowhere near my number one priority. For almost 5 years straight, this was my schedule year round and it only got worse in sum-mer.
Not only did swim consume my life, but I joined clubs at school, did high school swim, and stayed very active at my church. Trying to keep grades high enough to be in NHS, still participating in clubs, going to Life Teen events at church, and working out for 7.5 hours a day, my mental health evaporated. Fi-nally realizing the toll all of this was taking on my mental and physical health, I knew something needed to change.
Starting school again or going into college, there are a multitude of different activities being thrown at you with a very tempting nature. Clubs, intramural sports, talks, social events that usually include free food, and so many more begin to fill your daily schedule to its brim. Learning when to say no, and still have free time for yourself is beyond imperative. In order to spread the Gospel with your whole self, we have to be healthy, happy, and whole. With no room in your schedule to ensure time to take care of yourself mentally and physically, things can become overwhelming fast. Even though all these commitments seem like the best idea at the time, you will soon begin to realize the dwindling nature of your mental health.
As someone who used to be drowning in over -commitment, I’ve learned some helpful ways to overcome the temptation to say “yes” to everything. Here are a few of the steps I’ve used to examine each decision I make:
Domingo: Is 2, 1-5/ Sal 122, 1-2. 3-4. 4-5. 6-7. 8-9 [cfr. 1]/
Rom 13, 11-14/Mt 24, 37-44 Lunes: Is 4, 2-6/Sal122, 1-2. 3-4. 4-5. 6-7. 8-9/Mt 8, 5-11 Martes: Is 11, 1-10/Sal 72, 1-2. 7-8. 12-13. 17 [cfr. 7]/Lc 10, 21-24 Miércoles: Is 25, 6-10/Sal 23, 1-3. 3-4. 5. 6 [6]/Mt 15, 29-37
Jueves: Is 26, 1-6/Sal 118, 1 y 8-9. 19-21. 25-27 [26]/Mt 7, 21. 24-27 Viernes: Is 29, 17-24/Sal 27, 1. 4. 13-14 [1]/Mt 9, 27-31 Sábado: Is 30, 19-21. 23-26/Sal 147, 1-2. 3-4. 5-6/ Mt 9, 35—10, 1. 5. 6-8 Siguiente Domingo: Is 11, 1-10/ Sal 72, 1-2. 7-8. 12-13. 19 [cfr. 7]/ Rom 15, 4-9/Mt 3, 1-12
Diciembre 8, 2019 2° DOMINGO DE ADVIENTO
Reflexión en Preparación para el siguiente Domingo
Vamos caminando poco a poco rumbo a la Navidad; el Adviento abre un camino nuevo dando oportunidad a una conversión sincera girando el corazón hacia Dios. El protagonista de este domingo y el que viene es Juan Bautista. Con su mensaje, exhorta a la sociedad de hoy a reencontrar el camino y esperar con esperanza cristi-ana, que es a la vez jubilosa pero exigente en el cam-bio radical de acciones que destruyen el espíritu de esta temporada. Muchas compras y prisas sin sentido hacen olvidar lo importante del mensaje: “Una voz clama en el desierto: Preparen el camino del Señor, enderecen sus senderos.” Significa abrir el corazón a la luz del mensaje. Un corazón sencillo que perdona y experimenta la conversión en pequeños detalles como: una palabra de amor a su familia, aceptar a la persona que no cae bien, o simplemente quitar la cara aburrida de siempre. “Ya el hacha está puesta a la raíz de los árboles, y todo árbol que no de fruto, será cortado y arrojado al fue-go.” Mas claro el mensaje no puede estar. La presencia salvadora se presenta en este Adviento invitando a hacer obras buenas, preparando y arreglando lo que esta chueco o, como se dice, dejar de hacer tranzas. El Adviento implica ser valientes para hacer el bien. ¿Qué estás dispuesto a cambiar? ¿Qué se debe de enderezar? Recuerda, Isaías lo describe así: “Habitará el lobo con el cordero, la pantera se echará con el cabrito, el novillo y el león pacerán juntos y un muchachito los apacentará.” El llamado sigue, ¿que respondes? ©2019 Liturgical Publications, Inc.
1st Sunday of Advent
December 1, 2019 “I’m never getting enough rest! How can I possibly be ‘asleep’?” In a world of jam-packed schedules and high anxiety levels, physical rest may be hard to come by. Yet relentless pursuit of our to-do lists and social calendars may keep our minds off of the things that really matter. Jesus knows all too well a pattern of busy, harried ignorance. “In those days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage … they did not know until the flood came and carried them all away … two men will be out in the field … two women will be grinding at the mill; one will be taken, and one will be left.” When it comes to the spiritual life, we can be at work or at relax-ation and still be spiritually asleep. Each year, we are called back to remember the essential things. God comes to save His people. He becomes flesh to dwell among us. Supernatural light pierces the world’s darkness and our own. Advent wakes us up. “Stay awake! For you do not know on which day your Lord will come.” Every Advent, we prepare to celebrate Christ’s first coming at Christmas, and we anticipate his second coming at the end of time. “At an hour you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.” There’s another hour, too, both known and unknown. It’s the present moment. Whether it’s a lazy Saturday morning or a ma-jor business proposal, whether it’s attending a kindergarten play or an elderly relative’s bedside, at every moment the Lord wants to enter into our hearts. This Advent, let’s pray for the grace to stay alert. Christ is coming soon.
1er Domingo de Adviento 1 de diciembre de 2019
El tiempo de Adviento tiene dos características: es a la vez un tiempo de preparación para la solemnidad de la Navidad en que se conmemora la primera venida del Hijo de Dios entre los hombres y un tiempo en el cual, mediante esta cele-bración, el ánimo se dirige a esperar la segunda venida de Cristo al fin de los tiempos. Por estos dos motivos, el Adviento se presenta como un tiempo de piadosa y alegre esperanza. El tiempo de Adviento comienza con las primeras vísperas del domingo que cae el 30 de noviembre, o lo más próximo a ese día, y concluye antes de las primeras vísperas de Navidad. Los domingos de este tiempo se llaman: primer, segundo, tercer y cuarto domingo de Adviento (Normas Universales sobre el año litúrgico números 39,40,41). Hoy comenzamos un nuevo tiempo de lecturas y reflexiones, es lo que se llama el ciclo “A”. Escucharemos el Evangelio de San Mateo. La principal característica de las lecturas es estar vigilantes, atentos para no perder la ruta que es Jesucristo. Vivir atentos significa darse cuenta de los signos de los tiem-pos presentes. ¿Qué se vive actualmente? Jesús nos recuerda hoy que el tiempo no es del reloj, sino de la gracia y acción de Dios en la vida del ser humano. Podemos planear todo bajo calendario, pero cuando Dios llama hay que responder. San Pablo exhorta, “Desechemos, pues, las obras de las tinieblas y revistámonos con las armas de la luz.” Por lo tanto, Adviento es decir con amor, esperanza y total sinceridad de corazón: ¡Ven, Señor Jesús!
