FIRST SUNDAY IN ADVENT

DECEMBER 2, 2018

O Jesus! meek and humble of heart, Hear me. From the desire of being esteemed,

Deliver me, Jesus. From the desire of being loved... From the desire of being extolled ... From the desire of being honored ... From the desire of being praised ... From the desire of being preferred to others... From the desire of being consulted ... From the desire of being approved ... From the fear of being humiliated ... From the fear of being despised... From the fear of suffering rebukes ... From the fear of being calumniated ... From the fear of being forgotten ... From the fear of being ridiculed ... From the fear of being wronged ... From the fear of being suspected ... That others may be loved more than I, Jesus, grant me the grace to desire it. That others may be esteemed more than I ... That, in the opinion of the world, others may increase and I may decrease ... That others may be chosen and I set aside ... That others may be praised and I unnoticed ... That others may be preferred to me in every-thing... That others may become holier than I, provided that I may become as holy as I should…

Mass & Confession Schedule

¡CUIDADO! NO TODAS LAS ‘IGLESIAS CATÓLICAS’ LO SON

P uede ser que el templo se vea co-mo un templo Ca-

tólico o que tienen allí una imagen de la Vir-gen de Guadalupe o de otros Santos Católicos. También puede ser que el pastor se viste como sacerdote y que allí dan ‘Misas’. Nada de esto garantiza que son Católicos verdaderos en comunión con el Papa Francisco.

Tristemente, hay un numero creciente de sectas nue-vas que insisten que son 'Católicas' pero rechazan la autoridad del Papa y las demás doctrinas Católicas. Confunden a la gente no instruida que va en busca de los Sacramentos de la Iglesia.

¡Cuidado con aquellas sectas! Y dese cuenta: un Cató-lico debe asistir a Misa y recibir los Sacramentos sola-mente en una parroquia ‘registrada’ con la Iglesia Cató-lica, Apostólica y Romana. Si no, los llamados ‘Sacramentos’ recibidos no son lícitos a los ojos de la Iglesia Católica, Apostólica y Romana.

Si usted tiene una duda sobre una iglesia específica, llame a la notaría parroquial o a la Arquidiócesis al te-léfono (213) 637-7000.

Las siguientes ‘iglesias’ locales son algunas de las que no están en comunión con el Papa Francisco ni con el Arzobispo Gómez. Los Católicos no deben asistir a nin-gún servicio en estos lugares.

Have you heard? Holy Innocents Parish School is now offering families an edu-cation rooted in the Catholic

classical liberal arts tradition. The best kept secret in Catholic education is that schools all over the country are flourishing when they recov-er and adapt the Church’s time-tested approach in the classical liberal arts and sciences, which formed many of the keenest minds and holiest saints in history. Strengthened by the unique gift of our Carmelite spirituality which fosters an intimate relationship with Christ, our cur-riculum is focused on the Truth which sets us free. We seek to offer both Catholic and non-Catholic students the kind of learning that frees them from the pressure and frustration of an edu-cation focused merely on "college and career readiness." We prepare students for college, ca-reer, and much, much more. Call today to schedule a tour - we would love to share with you the many fruits of an authentical-ly Catholic education.

DIC 8: DÍA de OBLIGACIÓN

DID YOU KNOW?

A t Christmastime, families come together to spend this blessed season surrounded by their

loved ones, and for many families, this involves some travel. Parents with young children who are hitting the roads or the airways should be practic-ing situational awareness to ensure their children’s safety. Situational awareness means staying alert and knowing what’s going on around you. Keep an eye out for suspicious activity, and know where your family members are at all times. Don’t allow yourself to become distracted by your phone or other electronics—it only takes a minute for a

child to disappear from your eyesight. For more holiday travel tips, visit http://www.catholic.org/travel/story.php?id=65521.
