The Kingdom is Holistic! Our Mission Statement

As committed Christians of the Roman Catholic Church in Richmond, Indiana, we are a

community, centered in Christ, rooted in the Eucharistic communion, journeying together in our

call to be holy, constantly discerning the charisms of the Spirit,

making one another disciples of Christ and seeking God’s kingdom

in service, stewardship and charity.

“The kingdom of this world at times are sus-tained by arrogance, rivalries and oppression; the reign of Christ is a ‘kingdom of justice, love and peace.’ For a Christian, speaking of power and strength means referring to the power of the Cross, and the strength of Jesus’ love: a love which remains steadfast and complete, even when faced with rejection, and it is shown as the fulfillment of a life expended in the total surrender of oneself for the benefit of humani-ty.” —Pope Francis

In Christ and under His mercy,

Fr. Sengole T. Gnanaraj

We have a great resource to pray and prepare during the holy

time of Advent. Advent is a time of holy waiting and longing. It is a

time for renewal and regeneration. It is a time to deepen our prayer

life. During Advent, as we spend our times planning for Christmas,

let us not forget that we should prepare a place in our hearts for Jesus.

This preparation takes serious commitments to finding time to do our

regular examination of conscience and contrition. Each parish will

offer special time for reconciliation. In our parish, it will be on De-

cember 20, 2019 at 6pm at Holy Family Campus. Mark this time in

your calendar. Talk to your children about this. Help them prepare

for a good confession.

Also, at the back of the church, you will find a good resource

to help you pray and prepare for advent—The Magnificat Advent

Companion. Grab one for your family. This week’s bulletin also has

another announcement—a subsidized Magnificat subscription for our

parishioners. As a parish, it is always good to read from one single

source for our daily prayers. Here is this opportunity. Fill out the sub-

scription application form and get yourself a copy of Magnificat for

this Christmas. This subsidy is made possible through the Hubbard

Fund.

Mensaje por el Padre Sengole Gnanaraj

miento, certificado de Bautismo y

certificado de Primera Comunión.

Hace unas semanas comencé una pequeña catequesis en la Santa Misa, usando la homilía para los estudiantes de preparatoria. Les dí una breve histo-ria acerca de mí, yendo a la escuela en bicicleta todos los días por cuatro años. Nuestra parroquia de casa tiene una escuela católica sólo hasta el octavo grado. Aquéllos que querían continuar su educación, tenían que viajar cerca de seis millas en viaje sencillo en bicicleta. Como en todo, el tiempo trae cambios. Ya no tenemos que viajar millas para ir a la escuela.

Les dije a los estudiantes el cómo yo también me hice la pregunta en algún momento de mi vida, misma pregunta que cada uno de nosotros nos la hace-mos, “¿Porqué debo de ir a la Iglesia?” No fuí más lejos. Sólo les dejé a ellos la pregunta. Yo me hice ésta misma pregunta cuando estaba en décimo grado. Además de haber hecho todo tipo de quehaceres en la Iglesia mientras crecía, desde limpieza hasta repara-ciones, organizando una misa y acompa-ñando a mi Pastor en su motocicleta a pueblos distantes. Yo fuí lector, también cantante. Un período de duda vino a hacerme tomar un descanso. Estaba un poco enojado. Tenía un par de amigos que compartíamos los mismos senti-mientos. Bueno, el hacer las preguntas correctas, nos lleva a tener las respuestas correctas, y depende de nues-tra convicción de en quién creemos. No está mal hacer preguntas, incluso si son absurdas. Lo que realmente importa es si le damos seguimiento a la pregunta y buscamos el significado de ella.

Este Jueves continuaré con el mismo tema. Les dije cuatro cosas a considerar en respuesta a la pregunta: “¿Porqué debo ir a la Iglesia?” 1) Tú eres el futuro de la Iglesia; tú/nosotros somos la Igle-sia; 2) Si nosotros creemos en Dios y ademáas creemos que Dios nos habla - ¿Cuál es el mejor camino que Dios bus-cará para llegar a nuestros corazones?; 3) Si nosotros creemos en el amar uno al otro, ¿Cuál es la mejor expresión de amor que podemos tratar de imitar o copiar? 4) Tú perteneces a la familia de Dios y la familia de Dios es la Iglesia. Si tú eres el futuro de la Iglesia,

en concreto, ¿Cómo estás involucrado en éste momento en la Iglesia? Observa a la gente que está involucrada en ayudarte a crecer y ser discípulo de Cristo. Dios nos habla a través de las Sagradas Escrituras. En griego, la palabra inspiración tiene un significado activo. La palabra es theo-pneustos (Dios-respirando). Dios nos inspira en el sentido correcto cuando nosotros leemos y escuchamos las Escri-turas que se presentan en la Primera y Segunda lectura, así como el Salmo Re-sponsorial, mayormente vienen del Antig-uo Testamento. Así es como la Iglesia reconoce al Antiguo Testamento para la preparación del Evangelio. Dios nos lleva a Cristo en el Evangelio. ¡Para encontrar la dirección sólo volteemos a encontrar a Cristo, siempre renovado y dándonos más! “La expresión suprema de amor para la humanidad entera, es la muerte de Jesús en la cruz”. El regreso de Jesús a la vida nuevamente, es la respuesta fiel de Dios al amor de Jesús en la cruz. Si no-sotros creemos en lo que Jesús hizo, debemos entonces creer en lo que él dijo – que él está verdaderamente presente en la misa.– Continuaré hablando más de la Sagrada Misa un par de ocasiones más.

This Filipibino tradition was introduced by the Spanish friars to allow the farmers to hear Mass before going to the fields early in the morning. The Masses or the nine-day novena starts on the 17th of December as early as 4 in the morning and culminates on Christmas Eve also known as Misa de Gallo, or “mass of the Rooster.” In some places,

pre-dawn Mass is announced by the ringing of the church bells and a brass band plays Christmas music all over the town. It is also believed that parish priests would go far

knocking on doors to wake and gather the faithful to attend the Mass.

A complete scenario of the Nativity or ‘Belen’ is in every church which includes the Three Wise Men carrying their gifts to the infant Jesus and the Star of Bethlehem that

guided them in their journey.

Shortly after the Misa de Gallo, families gather in their homes to celebrate Noche Buena and feast on various delicacies like queso de bola, bibingka, puto bungbon, or a
