Mass Intentions/Intenciones de la Misa
Baptized with the Holy Spirit All three readings and the responsorial psalm for the second week of Advent give us directions on how to get ready for the coming of our Savior. Even the Collect tells us “may no earthly undertaking hinder those who set out in haste to meet your Son, but may our learning of heavenly wisdom gain us admittance to his company.” So, what does it mean to “set out in haste”? It means to do so with urgency or speed. Am I looking to meet our Lord with urgency? Is there a purpose to my urgency or am I running aimlessly? Advent gives us the opportunity to intentionally look to and for the Lord.
In the first reading, Isaiah is advising the people to “prepare the way of the Lord.” He tells of all the things that will happen when glory of the Lord is revealed. Valleys will be filled in, mountains will be made low, and the rugged land shall be made a plain. He urges people to shout the good news from the top of the mountain. How willing am I to shout the good news of our Savior? Do I even think about talking about God to others? This is our Advent wake‐up call. Isaiah is speaking to us as much as he was to the people of Jerusalem.
Our Responsorial Psalm says the Lord proclaims peace to his people. It is up to us to be the ones who live and encourage others to live that way in peace too. We can do this by our examples. This will also help us see the kindness of God in others.
St. Peter also talks about “conducting yourselves in holiness and devotion, waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God”. Peter also reminds us that to the Lord one day is like a thousand years and a thousand years is like a day. We can’t waste any time. We need to live the way God wants us to now!
John the Baptist is such a prominent person again in this week’s readings. He proclaimed, “One mightier than I is coming after me. I am not worthy to stoop and loosen the thongs of his sandals. I have baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.” We have been baptized with the Holy Spirit! What John said has been fulfilled for us. Now we must live that Baptismal promise. We need to live our lives as children of the Lord. We await the second coming of Christ and celebrate his first coming joyously. We must try to be in a constant state of readiness. We must make straight the path of the Lord. Advent can help us if we are attentive. Let us use this time wisely.

Our Weekly Reflection/Nuestra reflexión seminal Mrs. (Sra.) Terry Navarro
The Feast of the Immaculate Conception Tuesday, December 8, is the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. While it is a Holy Day of Obligation, due to the Covid 19 Pandemic, the obligation to attend Mass has been lifted for this year. We will have our 8:30 AM bilingual Mass and a 7:00 PM Mass in English.
La fiesta de la Inmaculada Concepción El martes 8 de diciembre es la fiesta de la Inmaculada Concepción. Si bien es un día sagrado de obligación, debido a la pandemia de Covid 19, la obligación de asistir a misa se ha eliminado para este año. Tendremos nuestra Misa bilingüe a las 8:30 AM y una Misa a las 7:00 PM en inglés.

The Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe On Saturday, December 12, we will celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. We have planned all celebrations following the directives from the Archdiocese. We will celebrate Mananitas from 5:00 AM ‐ 7:00 AM. It will be in the form of a procession. The church doors will open at 5:00 AM. People will be allowed into the church to process through the church and out. Families and individuals must keep 6 feet of distance between them as they slowly move around the church. Recorded Mariachi music will play as people process. People are encouraged to pray as they process, as we cannot allow anyone to sing or remain in church. Everyone must keep moving. We have scheduled 3 Masses for December 12. The 8:30 AM Mass will be bilingual. There will also be Masses in Spanish at 10:30 AM and 1:00 PM. You must call the rectory to make a reservation for Mass and you must pick your tickets up by Friday, December 11 at 7:00 PM. No tickets can be held at the door and no one will be allowed in without a ticket.
Bautizado con el Espiritu Santo Las tres lecturas y el salmo responsorial de la segunda semana de Adviento nos dan instrucciones sobre cómo prepararnos para la venida de nuestro Salvador. Incluso la Colecta nos dice que "que ninguna empresa terrenal obstaculice a los que se apresuran a encontrarse con tu Hijo, pero que nuestro aprendizaje de la sabiduría celestial nos haga entrar en su compañía". Entonces, ¿qué significa “partir a toda prisa”? Significa hacerlo con urgencia o rapidez. ¿Estoy buscando encontrarme con nuestro Señor con urgencia? ¿Tiene un propósito mi urgencia o estoy corriendo sin rumbo fijo? El Adviento nos da la oportunidad de mirar intencionalmente hacia y por el Señor.
En la primera lectura, Isaías aconseja al pueblo que "prepare el camino del Señor". Él cuenta todas las cosas que sucederán cuando se revele la gloria del Señor. Los valles se rellenarán, las montañas se rebajarán y la tierra escarpada se convertirá en llanura. Insta a la gente a gritar las buenas nuevas desde la cima de la montaña. ¿Cuán dispuesto estoy a gritar las buenas nuevas de nuestro Salvador? ¿Pienso siquiera en hablar de Dios a otros? Esta es nuestra llamada de atención de Adviento. Isaías nos habla tanto como a la gente de Jerusalén.
Nuestro Salmo Responsorial dice que el Señor proclama la paz a su pueblo. Depende de nosotros ser los que vivamos y animar a los demás a vivir así en paz también. Podemos hacer esto con nuestros ejemplos. Esto también nos ayudará a ver la bondad de Dios en los demás.
Sn. Pedro también habla de “comportarse en santidad y devoción, esperando y apresurando la llegada del día de Dios”. Pedro también nos recuerda que para el Señor un día es como mil años y mil años es como un día. No podemos perder el tiempo. ¡Necesitamos vivir de la manera que Dios quiere que vivamos ahora!
Juan el Bautista vuelve a ser una persona tan prominente en las lecturas de esta semana. Él proclamó: “Uno más poderoso que yo vendrá en pos de mí. No soy digno de agacharme y desatarle las correas de sus zapatos. Os he bautizado con agua; él los bautizará con el Espíritu Santo ". ¡Hemos sido bautizados con el Espíritu Santo! Lo que dijo Juan se ha cumplido para nosotros. Ahora debemos vivir esa promesa bautismal. Necesitamos vivir nuestras vidas como hijos del Señor. Esperamos la segunda venida de Cristo y celebramos con alegría su primera venida. Debemos intentar estar en un estado constante de preparación. Debemos enderezar el camino del Señor. El Adviento puede ayudarnos si estamos atentos. Usemos este tiempo sabiamente.
Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe El sábado 12 de diciembre celebraremos la Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe. Hemos planeado todas las celebraciones siguiendo las directrices de la Arquidiócesis. Celebraremos las mañanitas de 5:00 AM a 7:00 AM. Será en forma de procesión. Las puertas de la iglesia se abrirán a las 5:00 AM. A las personas se les permitirá entrar a la iglesia para procesar y salir. Las familias y las personas deben mantener una distancia de 6 pies entre ellos mientras se mueven lentamente por la iglesia. Se reproducirá música de Mariachi grabada a medida que la gente procese. Se anima a las personas a orar mientras procesan, ya que no podemos permitir que nadie cante o permanezca en la iglesia. Todos deberán seguir moviéndose.
Hemos programado 3 misas para el 12 de diciembre. La misa de las 8:30 AM será bilingüe. También habrá misas en español a las 10:30 AM y 1:00 PM. Debe llamar a la rectoría para hacer su reservación para la misa y debe recoger sus boletos antes del viernes 11 de diciembre a las 7:00 p.m. No se pueden guardar boletos en la puerta y no se permitirá la entrada a nadie sin su boleto.
