Dear Friends,
You probably heard about it on the news, or even noticed it yourself, that people are decorating a little earlier for Christmas this year. I’m not just talking about the stores, but many others are choosing to decorate earlier. Some are saying that it is good for us psychologically—after we have been through such a difficult year with the pandemic other challenges—it can be helpful to decorate for Christmas to lift our spirits, as well as celebrating the coming feast of our Sav-ior. Hey, even the Vatican set up its Christmas tree in St. Peter’s Square this week!
We are getting ready to celebrate “glad tidings,” so we can let the Scriptures this week guide us. Isaiah speaks a word of comfort to Israel still in exile, and promising that the exile will end soon. He tells the people to “prepare the way of the Lord,” for he is coming. And he challenges them, and us, “Go up onto a high mountain…cry out at the top of your voice…here is your God!”
To do that, to proclaim God’s presence, we need to find him, right now, in our life. Maybe we need to look deeper to find him. The 2020 pandemic has tested some people’s faith and has challenged us all to reorder our priorities. As we advance into this Advent season, I pray that we will all find moments of quiet prayer, moments where we can reconnect with the Shepherd who loves us and who is always there for us.
Then, we can become heralds proclaiming the glad tidings of the Lord.
Peace and blessings,
Father Tom

Queridos amigos,
Probablemente hayan oído en las noticias o incluso lo hayan notado en sus vecindarios, que la gente está decorando para Navidad un poco más temprano este año. No me refiero solo a los comercios, sino que muchas personas han decidido decorar sus hogares con anticipación. Los expertos dicen que es bueno para nosotros psicológicamente -después de haber pasado por un año tan difícil con la pandemia y otros desafíos- decorar para la Navidad puede ayudarnos a le-vantar el ánimo, y a celebrar el nacimiento de nuestro Salvador. ¡Incluso el Vaticano instaló su árbol de Navidad en la Plaza de San Pedro esta semana!
Nos estamos preparando para celebrar la “buena nueva” y podamos dejar que las Escrituras de esta semana nos guíen. El profeta Isaías da una palabra de aliento a Israel que aún está en el exilio, y promete que el exilio terminará pronto. Él le dice a la gente que “preparen el camino del Señor”, porque Él viene. Y él los desafía, a ellos y a nosotros, "Sube a lo alto del monte…… al-za con fuerza la voz ... ¡aquí está tu Dios!"
Para hacer eso, para proclamar la presencia de Dios, necesitamos encontrarlo, ahora mismo, en nuestra propia vida. Quizás debamos buscar más profundamente para poder encontrarlo. La pandemia del 2020 ha puesto a prueba la fe de algunas personas y nos ha desafiado a todos a reordenar nuestras prioridades. A medida que avanzamos en esta temporada de Adviento, pido a Dios que todos encontremos momentos de oración en silencio, momentos en los que po-damos reconectarnos con el Buen Pastor que nos ama y que siempre está ahí para nosotros.
Solo así, podremos convertirnos en heraldos que proclaman la buena nueva del Señor.
Paz y bendiciones,
Padre Tom

Second Sunday of Advent December 6, 2020
Every valley shall be filled in, every mountain and hill shall be made low.
— Isaiah 40:4 GOD’S DELAY In times of great difficulties scoffers taunt us, “Where is God? Why hasn’t your Lord come to save you now?” And we of faith respond much in the same way as Peter did in today’s second reading: the “delay” of the Lord’s second coming is not any type of punishment or failure to keep the divine promise, but a loving sign of God’s patience. God is giving everyone the chance to seek repentance. God does not make life more difficult. Rather, God lessens our burdens as once before for the Jewish exiles returning home to Judea after captivity in Babylon. It was God who personally led them, making a “straight highway” for them across the desert. We join with our ancestors of faith, who hoped that they might see God’s Chosen One before them and who eventually realized that the Lord was also walking with them side by side. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The rugged land shall be made a plain; the rough country, a broad valley. (Isaiah 40:1-5, 9-11). Psalm — Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation (Psalm 85). Second Reading — Conduct yourselves in holiness, hastening the coming of the day of God (2 Peter 3:8-14). Gospel — I have baptized you with water; he will bap-tize you with the Holy Spirit (Mark 1:1-8). READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Is 35:1-10; Ps 85:9ab, 10-14; Lk 5:17-26 Tuesday: Gn 3:9-15, 20; Ps 98:1-4; Eph 1:3-6, 11- 12; Lk 1:26-38 Wed: Is 40:25-31; Ps 103:1-4, 8, 10; Mt 11:28-30 Thursday: Is 41:13-20; Ps 145:1, 9, 10-13ab; Mt 11:11-15 Friday: Is 48:17-19; Ps 1:1-4; Mt 11:16-19 Saturday: Zec 2:14-17 or Rv 11:19a; 12:1-6a, 10ab; Jdt 13:18bcde, 19; Lk 1:26-38 or Lk 1:39- 47, or any readings from the Common of the Blessed Virgin Mary, nos. 707-712 Sunday: Is 61:1-2a, 10-11; Lk 1:46-50, 53-54; 1 Thes 5:16-24; Jn 1:6-8, 19-28
FEAST OF FAITH Watching for Christ’s Coming In the season of Advent, we look to the coming of Christ at the end of time, and we prepare ourselves to celebrate his first coming among us at Christmas. Remembrance of the past is combined with preparation for the fu-ture. Memory meets action. In a certain sense, the Mass is an Advent prayer. At the Last Supper, Jesus did not tell his disciples, “Never forget what I did for you.” Instead, he said, “Do this in remembrance of me.” He calls us to remember by doing, to combine memory with action. In the celebra-tion of the Eucharist, remembering and doing become one. Jesus is as present in our midst as he was in that upper room, breaking the bread and sharing the cup; but it is a new kind of presence, seen only with the eyes of faith. In the heavenly liturgy, there will be no need of sacraments, for there, “celebration is wholly communion and feast” (Catechism of the Cath-olic Church, 1136). Here, things are different. We have only glimpses and flashes of the beau-ty that is yet to be. And yet, in the liturgy, we truly participate in the heavenly liturgy. The Mass is our foretaste of the joys of heaven.
