SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT – December 4, 2016

What does the word “Advent” mean?

The word Advent comes from the Latin “Adventus” and literally means “coming.” During this season, we eagerly await the celebration of the birth of Christ at Christmas, looking forward to His coming with joy and anticipation. However, we must not let this time

go to waste – if all we do is wait impatiently for Christmas morning, we are not using Advent to its fullest. Instead, Advent is a great time to reflect on our relationship with God and to avail ourselves of the Sacrament of Reconciliation. Just as we would prepare for a special guest coming to our home by cleaning it and making it beautiful, we should also

prepare for Christ’s coming by making our souls beautiful for His arrival.

* * *

In our weekly “Did you know?” section, we’ll try to explain “mysteries of the Mass” and other parts of the

Catholic faith. If you have a question you’d like to submit, please email emily.dibiase@sjtemahopac.org.

Did you know? Readings for the Week

Sunday Is 11:1-10; Rom 15:4-9; Mt 3:1-12

Monday Is 35:1-10; Lk 5:17-26

Parish Council Meeting

The next Parish Council meeting will be Tuesday, December 6 at 7:30 PM in the Social Hall. All

parishioners are welcome to attend.

SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT – December 4, 2016

27th Annual National Night of Prayer

Thursday, December 8th after the 7 PM Mass

It was on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception that Our Lady of Guadalupe, Patroness of the unborn and of the Americas, first appeared to St. Juan Diego. St.

Juan Diego’s feast day is Dec. 9. Throughout the country, there will be prayers to end abortion and to

pray for healing of those who are suffering from abortion from 9 PM to 1 AM. The Blessed Sacrament

will be exposed following Mass until 9 PM in the main Church. Please stay after Mass for a while.

We will end with Benediction.

St. Ambrose

St. Ambrose, a bishop from the late 300s, had not set out to be a

member of the clergy – in fact, he wasn’t even baptized when he was nominated and ran away

when he was appointed! Still, Ambrose eventually relented to the will of God and

entered his position whole-heartedly. He used the oratorical skills he’d developed as a lawyer and a

governor to fight some of the biggest heresies of his time, including Arianism, a popular heresy that

called into question Jesus’ divinity. Ambrose had a deep love for the poor and even gave away all of his

property to help free captives in the empire. His feast day is December 7. St. Ambrose, pray for us!

SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT – December 4, 2016

The Prophets: Bible Study

God Is Calling You to a Deeper Relationship with Him

St. John the Evangelist Parish will begin The Prophets: Messengers of God’s Mercy on Wednesday, January 18 at 7:00PM and Monday, January 23 at 9:30AM.

If we consider that God is the Divine Bridegroom and the Church is the Bride, then the prophets can be

seen as “spiritual marriage counselors.” They afflict the comfortable and comfort the afflicted, calling us to return to our covenant relationship with God. They urge us to repentance, warn us of the dangers of sin, and

announce the blessings of faithfulness, their prophetic words speak to us even today, as they draw us closer to our heavenly Bridegroom.

To register fill out the form in next week’s bulletin or the forms on the bulletin boards in the chapel.

For more information contact: Jean 845-260-2643 or Margaret 845-621-7000.

SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT – December 4, 2016

Noticias de Nuestra Parroquia

Hace ocho días comenzó el año litúrgico 2.017 con el Primer Domingo de Adviento. La palabra “adviento” proviene del adventus (latín), que significa un periodo de espera o de anticipación. Cada Adviento anticipamos a Alguien y no “algo.” Vaticinamos con la humanidad de tantos siglos la venida de nuestro Redentor, que celebramos en Navidad o Nochebuena en diciembre.

Puesto que la Iglesia nos anima de preparar para las grandes fiestas del año mediante el rezo, la caridad y el sacrificio (vb. la Cuaresma hacia el Domingo de Pascua, el Adviento hacia la Navidad), el ambiente litúrgico del Adviento sigue una línea penitencial, aunque mucho menos que de Cuaresma. El color es morado (con algunas excepciones como el 8 y el 12 de diciembre) y del Gloria cantamos poco, anticipando la dicha de los cielos al nacer el Niño Dios.

Aunque hay costumbres bellas de nuestra América Latina anticipando la Navidad o la Nochebuena (vb. las posadas mexicanas y de América Central, la colombianísima Novena de Aguinaldo, la advocación ecuatoriana al Niño Viajero, etc.), lamentablemente parece que el Adviento es la temporada litúrgica menos observada por la hispanidad. Cambiemos el ritmo este año con estrenar el Adviento y su tema de rezo adicional y obras de caridad. la casa, dejemos de armar belenes, pesebres y arboles hasta el 16 de diciembre, cuando estamos por lo menos en la segunda mitad del Adviento.

Por fin, aprovechemos de la Confesión, particularmente los sábados a las 18h (6 p.m.) en la capilla (o mediante cita con el Padre Rojas) para regalar un alma limpio del pecado al Niño Dios esta Navidad.

RESERVEMOS LAS FECHAS del 10, 11 y 12 de DICIEMBRE

SABADO, 10 de DICIEMBRE: “Pase del Niño Viajero” – Procesión a las 12m. desde la esquina de la farmacia C.V.S. por East Lake Boulevard hasta el templo. Santa Misa a las 13h en el templo y otras funciones esa tarde. No habrá ni Confesiones a las 18h ni Misa de Vigilia a las 19h en la capilla. DOMINGO, 11 de DICIEMBRE y LUNES, 12 de DICIEMBRE: Programación Guadalupana, según el anuncio en otra página de este boletín. Dom. 11 dic.: Santa Misa Hispana a las 14h en la capilla.

Solemnidad de la Inmaculada Concepción, “La Purísima”

(jueves, 8 de diciembre, FIESTA PATRONAL NACIONAL y DIA DE PRECEPTO)

Se ofrecerá la Santa Misa en el templo miércoles, 7 dic., 17,30h en el templo (Misa de Vigilia) y durante el 8 dic. a las 9 y 12h. en la capilla y a las 19h en el templo.

A la vez de celebrar el misterio de María sin pecado concebida, ensalzaremos a la patrona nacional de EE.UU. y Nicaragua, buscando su intercesión ante Dios. ¡María sin pecado concebida, ruega por nosotros!

EVITEMOS “NAVI-DA-ME” y CELEBREMOS NAVIDAD

Asistamos a la Santa Misa el domingo, 25 dic. EN ESPAÑOL a las 14h en la capilla.
