Gospel Meditation December 19, 2021 | 4TH SUNDAY OF ADVENT

Blessed Are We – Synod Church

During Advent, we find ourselves looking all the more to Mary as our model

of faith. Whether or not we have any particular devotion to her, the story of

her faith during these Advent days can be transforming for us, if we allow it

to be. Mary’s “yes” to God, her willingness to be and do the impossible,

speaks to all of us who are trying to make sense of the puzzles and pain life

may throw our way.

Christ is a week away! As we begin the countdown, Scripture turns our atten-

tion to St. Joseph, Jesus’ earthly father. Joseph is an example for us too. Look

to him the next time you face an uncertain path, whether it’s a major life

change, like becoming a parent, or a small beginning, like a new day with its

unexpected challenges and opportunities. Then ask him to pray for you to

have the same strength and courage that he showed. Christmas is less a few

days away, and you may be distracted by any circumstances. Take a moment

to acknowledge them as you pray, but try to keep your focus on the Lord. He

is coming as a newborn child who will one day offer his life for you just so you can live with him forever. Focus on the One who is

present in the manager and in your heart. Try to keep your eyes on the Lord and his goodness to you. Trust that as you do, that

goodness will shine through you.

We have received a lot of support during the past time, to build the friendly relationship with God the Father and with each other.

I thank God for our Parish which is a community of Love, Faith and Hope. Thanks to everyone, staff, ministries, and volunteers who

support us, so that our parish grows more and more spiritually and physically.

That in these Christmas holidays we are not a sign of division, but of union, hope and love, of God's presence in the midst of his

people, in the midst of our family. Merry Christmas, Forever United. God bless us !!

La Iglesia Sinodal

Adviento con la Liturgia nos hace sentir más Familia. En este tiempo del proceso sinodal, se nos invita para acercarnos mas en

comunión con Dios, participar activamente en la vida de la Iglesia, descubrir la misión de la Familia. ¿Cuáles son las relaciones

entre el hombre y Dios creador?

En la Liturgia durante el Año hemos visto las relaciones fundamentales: de Jesús con su Padre Celestial, de Maria Santísima con el

Espíritu Santo. Es una relación filial de obediencia hacia Dios Padre. Adviento nos enseña las relaciones solidas en el plan de la

Salvación. La Navidad nos manifiesta una maravillosa relación de la Sagrada Familia.

La relación íntima y personal del Espíritu Santo con Maria ha hecho posible que el Verbo de Dios asuma carne y se vaya formando

hombre en su seno materno. No despreciemos la pequeñez de nadie que se esfuerza por hacer las cosas bien, porque quizás no

nos imaginamos que lo que vemos es solo la aurora de todo un amanecer que crecerá maravillando a los demás. Unámonos al

hágase de la Virgen para hacer la voluntad de Dios con la certeza de que el Señor quiere lo mejor para nosotros y para los que nos

rodean.

Hemos recibido mucho apoyo durante el tiempo pasado, para edificar la relación amistosa con Dios Padre y entre nosotros. Doy las

gracias a Dios por nuestra Parroquia que es una comunidad de Amor, de Fe y Esperanza. Gracias a todos, al personal, a los

ministerios, y los voluntarios que nos apoyan, para que nuestra parroquia cada vez más crezca espiritual y físicamente.

Que en estas fiestas navideñas no seamos signo de división, sino de unión, esperanza y amor, de presencia de Dios en medio de su

pueblo, en media de nuestra familia. ¡¡¡Feliz Navidad, Unidos para siempre. Que Dios nos Bendiga!!

The Nativity of the Lord Natividad del Señor Dec. 25

God wants to fill our hearts anew with joy and gratitude for the

greatest gift he could possibly give us - his beloved Son Jesus.

What can we give thanks for in this great feast of the Incarnation?

We can praise and thank God our Father for the fact that the Son

of God freely and joyfully assumed a human nature in order to

accomplish our salvation in it. Jesus came to release the captives

from slavery to sin and to open the gates of paradise once again.

This day the Holy Spirit invites us to make haste - as the shepherds

of Bethlehem did - to adore Jesus our King and Messiah. The Lord

Jesus Christ is our eternal good shepherd who guides and cares for

us unceasingly and who gives us abundant everlasting life and un-

ion with the triune God - Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Dios quiere llenar nuestros corazones de nuevo con gozo y gratitud

por el mayor regalo que podría darnos: su amado Hijo Jesús. ¿Por

qué podemos dar gracias en esta gran fiesta de la Encarnación?

Podemos alabar y agradecer a Dios nuestro Padre por el hecho de

que el Hijo de Dios asumió libre y gozosamente la naturaleza hu-

mana para lograr nuestra salvación en ella. Jesús vino a liberar a

los cautivos de la esclavitud del pecado y a abrir las puertas del

paraíso una vez más. Este día el Espíritu Santo nos invita a apre-

surarnos, como hicieron los pastores de Belén, a adorar a Jesús,

nuestro Rey y Mesías. El Señor Jesucristo es nuestro buen pastor

eterno que nos guía y nos cuida sin cesar y nos da vida eterna

abundante y unión con el Dios trino: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo.

Gracias a Nuestro grupo de ministerio de Lazos de Amor Mariano por la celebracion de la Immaculada Concepcion el este 8 de Diciembre. Lazos de Amor Mariano va tener un retiro el 29 de enero llamado "La Madurez de la Fe".

Thanks to our Lazos de Amor Mariano ministry group for a celebration of the Immaculate Conception on this December 8th. Lazos de Amor Mariano will have a retreat on January 29 called "The Maturity of Faith."
