Howdy,
We have just celebrated the Feast of Our
Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of all the
Americas and patroness of our diocese.
This is such an important celebration for
many reasons. It might be important for
all of us to reflect on the message our
Blessed Mother brought to all of the
Americas.
Advent season is a time to prepare our-
selves to welcome the Lord when He
comes again. Our Blessed Mother came
to prepare the Americas to embrace our
Lord through the Catholic Church in this
new land. If we truly honor Our Lady of
Guadalupe we must work with her and
call our brothers and sisters back to
Christ and away from hatred and divi-
sion.
May our celebration of Christmas be a
time to remember that our Lord came to
unite all His creation through mercy and
love, not through force. May each of us
look deeply into our hearts this Christ-
mas season to root out any hatred and to
grow in Christ’s mercy and love. What a
Christmas gift we can give to our God!
Blessed Christmas,
Father Mike
Que tal,
Acabamos de celebrar la Fiesta de Nuestra
Señora de Guadalupe, patrona de todas las
Américas y patrona de nuestra diócesis. Es-
ta es una celebración tan importante por
muchas razones. Puede ser importante para
todos nosotros reflexionar sobre el mensaje
que nuestra Santísima Madre trajo a todas
las Américas.
La temporada de Adviento es un tiempo pa-
ra prepararnos para recibir al Señor cuan-
do Él venga otra vez. Nuestra Santísima
Madre vino a preparar a las Américas para
abrazar a nuestro Señor a través de la Igle-
sia Católica en esta nueva tierra. Si real-
mente honramos a Nuestra Señora de
Guadalupe, debemos trabajar con ella y
llamar a nuestros hermanos y hermanas a
Cristo y alejarlos del odio y la división.
Que nuestra celebración de Navidad sea un
momento para recordar que nuestro Señor
vino a unir toda su creación a través de la
misericordia y el amor, no a través de la
fuerza. Que cada uno de nosotros miremos
profundamente en nuestros corazones esta
temporada de Navidad para erradicar cual-
quier odio y crecer en la misericordia y el
amor de Cristo. ¡Qué gran regalo de
Navidad podemos dar a nuestro Dios!
Una Bendita Navidad,
Padre Mike

Our Christmas Break begins at 1:00pm on
Thursday, December 20th and school resumes on
January 7th.
Nuestras vacaciones de Navidad comienzan a las
1:00 pm el jueves 20 de diciembre y se reanudan
las clases el 7 de enero.
In Christianity, we hear often about the "Good
News." We might often associate it with Jesus'
compassion to the poor, his healings and miracles,
and the salvation he won for us. In today's Gospel,
we read of John the Baptist. "Exhorting them in
many other ways, he preached good news to the
people." Yet as we examine the rest of the read-
ing, we see examples of John's preaching. If you
have two cloaks, give one away. Don't cheat oth-
ers out of their money, extort, or lie. And, of
course, the warning that the Messiah is on the
move and "his winnowing fan is in his hand to
clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat
into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with un-
quenchable fire." Merry Christmas?
Not only do John's listeners enjoy his message,
but they seem to think he might be the awaited
Messiah! To understand today's Gospel, it's im-
portant to understand the Jewish people. For most
of their history, God's chosen people had been un-
der someone else's heel. They were slaves in
Egypt. Their kingdoms were ravaged first by the
Assyrians, then the Babylonians. Now they were
under the yoke of the Roman Empire. Familiar
with being strangers in a strange land, welcoming
the stranger, caring for the vulnerable, and enact-
ing justice was incredibly important to them as a
people. While John's words may seem odd or
strong to our modern ears, this call to justice was
welcome, even if it was directed at the hearer.
The truth is, no one is exempt from John's call to
repentance. We all have further to go in the Chris-
tian life. We can all grow in virtue and love our
neighbors more generously. The Church gives us
the Advent season to examine our own hearts. Did
any of John's warnings resonate with you? That
could be a great thing to bring to Jesus this week.

Next Sunday, December 23rd, is Prayer for Life
Sunday. Come and pray the rosary with us at the
Glendale Planned Parenthood Abortion Clinic from
8:00 to 900 am. Help save the lives of these unborn
babies.
Acompáñenos el próximo domingo, 23 de diciembre,
de 8:00 a 9:00am para rezar el Rosario frente a
la Clínica de Abortos de Glendale. Ayude a salvar la
vida de be bés aun no nacidos.
La salvación que Dios anuncia en este tercer
domingo de Adviento trae consigo una profun-
da alegría. Las lecturas de hoy son clave para
profundizar en lo que es la alegría de Dios. Es
el domingo de alegría. En latín, "“Gaudete,"
cuyo significado es " alégrense". El profeta Sofo-
nías lo dice así: ¡Grita de gozo, oh hija de
Sión,... Regocíjate y que tu corazón esté de fies-
ta! (Sofonías 3:14). San Pablo lo describe con
inmenso gozo de la siguiente manera: " Estén
siempre alegres en el Señor; se los repito, estén
alegres y tengan buen trato con to-
dos" (Filipenses 4:4). La repetición que hace
Pablo hace énfasis en esa alegría que da la paz
de Dios, a pesar de los acontecimientos contra-
rios a lo que vivimos.
¿A dónde debo llevar la alegría que Dios me
da? ¿Cómo podemos recuperar la alegría en
este Adviento tan comercializado? El Evangelio
nos da la respuesta; el Bautista exhorta a la
conversión, y sin esa conversión, no puede exis-
tir la alegría que es el fruto de las buenas
obras. Todos debemos de compartir con los
más necesitados: ropa, comida y nuestros bie-
nes, pero, sobre todo, dar la bienvenida al ex-
tranjero y al refugiado. ¡Ahora es el tiempo!
Ayúdanos Señor a abrir nuestros corazones a
las necesidades de otros. Cambia nuestros co-
razones de piedra por unos más humanos. Que
con tu gracia sepamos hacer lo que está bien.
Martin Luther King decía: "Siempre es el mo-
mento apropiado para hacer lo que es correcto".
¡Ven Señor, ayúdanos a dar alegría y esperan-
za e n todo momento!
We will not be having a
penance service during Ad-
vent, but we will be having
confessions on Wednesday,
December 19th at 6:00pm
at OLPH.
No tendremos un Servicio Penitencial
durante Adviento pero habrá confesiones

Christmas Eve Rosary for Life
With Bishop Olmsted
December 24th at 11:00am
As we celebrate the eve of Christ’s birth, join
Bishop Olmsted in praying the rosary outside
the Planned Parenthood facility at 5771 W.
Eugie Ave. in Glendale, Az.
Please park along nearby streets and walk to
the site; do not park in local business or med-
ical parking lots. Bring water and shade.
Rosario por la Vida
24 de diciembre, 11:00am
Obispo Thomas J. Olmsted
Acompáñenos! Al celebrar la víspera del
nacimiento de Cristo, únete al Obispo
Olmsted para rezar el rosario afuera de las
instalaciones de Planned Parenthood en
Glendale.
Por favor estacionarse en las calles cercanas
y caminar hasta el sitio; no se estacione en
estacionamientos de negocios o médicos. No
olviden traer agua para tomar y protección
para el sol.
A medida que se acerca la Navidad, tomemos un mo-
mento para reflexionar sobre la vida de alegría que
se nos ha prometido. No es solo para el cielo. Esta-
mos destinados a vivir esta alegría aquí y ahora!
“Alégrense siempre en el Señor. Lo diré de nuevo:
¡alégrense!” ¿Cómo es posible estar lleno de alegría
en todo momento y en todo lugar? Pablo establece
los pasos para vivir en alegría:
1. Sin preocupaciones ni ansiedades.
Ninguna.
2. Ora por todo.
3. Pero, no solo le digas a Dios tus proble
mas, ¡sé también agradecido!
4. El quiere escuchar todo sobre todo lo que
deseamos “Haz que tus peticiones sean
conocidas por Dios".
¿Sin ansiedad en absoluto? ¿Ni siquiera por nuestro
pecado y las consecuencias? No, porque cualquier
cosa que nos preocupe, ya sea en nosotros mismos o
en nuestras circunstancias, puede convertirse en ora-
ción con la confianza segura de que Dios nos ama y
nos escucha. No estamos solos.
Él enviará su paz para que no tengamos que dudar si
está cerca o no. “Entonces la paz de Dios que sobre-
pasa todo entendimiento guardará sus corazones y
mentes en Cristo Jesús".

As Christmas approaches, let’s take a moment
to reflect on the life of joy that is promised to
us. It’s not just for heaven. We are meant to
live this joy here and now!
“Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it
again: rejoice!” How is it possible at all times
and everywhere to be full of joy? Paul lays out
the steps for living in joy:
No worries and anxieties. None.
Pray about everything.
But, don’t just tell God your problems, be
thankful too!
He wants to hear all about everything we
desire “Make your requests known to
God.”
No anxiety at all? Not even over our sin and
the consequences? No, because whatever trou-
bles us, whether in ourselves or in our circum-
stances, can be turned into prayer with the sure
confidence that God loves and hears us. We
are not alone.
He will send his peace so that we do not have
to doubt whether or not he is near. “Then the
peace of God that surpasses all understanding
will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Je-
sus.”
