Parish Office Closed for Immaculate Conception—The parish office will be closed on Tuesday, December 8, for the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception. It will reopen on Wednesday, December 9, at 9:00 AM. Masses and confession times are listed on the Advent Liturgical Schedule page. Oficina Parroquial Cerrada por la Inmaculada Concepción—La oficina parroquial estará cerrada el Martes 8 de Diciembre por la Solemnidad de la Inmaculada Concepción. Reabrirá el Miércoles 9 de Diciembre a las 9:00 AM. Las misas y los tiempos de confesión se enumeran en la página del Horario Litúrgico de Adviento. Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe—Tendremos una Misa especial a las 6:00 AM el 12 de Diciembre en honor a Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, y una procesión con la imagen de Nuestra Señora seguirá a la Misa. Por favor únase a nosotros si puede, ya que este es el único evento podemos esperar para la fiesta. Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe—We will have a special Mass at 6:00 AM on December 12 in honor of Our Lady of Guadalupe, and a procession with the image of Our Lady will follow the Mass. Please join us if you are able, as this is the only event we are able to hold for the feast day. No Advent Penance Service This Year—We will not have an Advent penance service at St. Bart’s this year because of space limitations. However, we do have confession periods scheduled four days a week, and you are all encouraged to come at any of those times to receive the Sacrament of Reconciliation. You can find the confession times on the bulletin “Welcome” page or on the website at www.st-bart.org. No Tendremos un Servicio de Penitencia de Adviento—No tendremos un servicio de penitencia de Adviento en St. Bart's este año debido a limitaciones de espacio. Sin embargo, tenemos períodos de confesión programados cuatro días a la semana, y se les anima a venir en cualquiera de esos momentos para recibir el Sacramento de la Reconciliación. Puede encontrar los horarios de confesión en la página de “Bienvenidos” del boletín o en el sitio web en www.st-bart.org. Wear Your Masks and Practice Good Hygiene! As the pandemic continues, many are getting tired of wearing masks, sanitizing their hands, keeping a physical distance from those outside their household, and following all the other guidelines to prevent the spread of the coronavirus. However, our policies still remain in full effect—ALL who attend Masses or come to the office for appointments must properly wear a mask that covers their nose and mouth and must maintain 6’ distance. This is especially important now as cold & flu season is upon us and the number of coronavirus cases is rising. ¡Use sus máscaras y practique una buena higiene! A medida que continúa la pandemia, muchos se están cansando de usar máscaras, desinfectar sus manos, mantener una distancia física de quienes están fuera de su hogar y seguir todas las demás pautas para prevenir la propagación del coronavirus. Sin embargo, nuestras políticas siguen estando en pleno vigor: TODOS los que asistan a misas o vayan al consultorio para las citas deben usar una máscara que cubra la nariz y la boca y deben mantener una distancia de 6 pies. Esto es especialmente importante ahora que la temporada de resfriados y gripe se acerca y el número de casos de coronavirus está aumentando.

Pray for those in RCIA—Our brothers and sisters who are learning about the Catholic faith need our spiritual support! Please pray for them by name. Ore por aquellos en RCIA—¡Nuestros hermanos y hermanas que están aprendiendo sobre la fe católica necesitan nuestro apoyo espiritual! Ore por ellos por su nombre.

Lord our God, We praise you for your Son, Jesus Christ: He is Emmanuel, the Hope of the peoples, He is the Prince of Peace, the King of kings, He is the Joy in our hearts, we Love because He loved us first, Christ is the Light of the world and the Savior of every nation and we seek to do His will. As children of the light, make us strong in following Him, and in the love and the peace we show to others. Through Christ our Lord, Amen

Oraciones de la Familia Parroquial

Porque Él nos amó primero, buscamos hacer su voluntad. El tema de oración de este mes es La Llegada (Adviento) y está basado en la tradicional corona de Adviento y sus velas. Las cuatro velas representan las cuatro semanas del Adviento y cada vela tiene un significado especial. La segunda vela es la vela de la Paz. Esforcémonos esta semana por vivir nuestra fe abrazando plenamente la paz de Cristo.

Señor Dios nuestro, Te alabamos por tu hijo, Jesucristo: Él es Emanuel, la Esperanza de los pueblos Él es príncipe de Paz, el Rey de Reyes, Él es la Alegría en nuestros corazones, Nosotros Amamos porque Él nos amó primero, Cristo es la Luz del mundo y el Salvador de cada nación y buscamos hacer su voluntad. Como hijos de la luz, haznos fuertes en seguirlo y en el amor y la paz que mostramos a los demás. Por Cristo nuestro Señor Amén

~In the School of Mary~ CHRISTIFIDELES LAICI

(The Lay Members of Christ’s Faithful People) POST-SYNODAL APOSTOLIC EXHORTATION

Published 12.30.1988: Pope St. John Paul II

PART I: I Am the Vine and You Are the Branches: The Lay Faithful and Their Secular Character Invested in the newness of the Christian life, all the baptized as members of the People of God share a common dignity. They also share the same filial grace calling them to perfection. As a result, each of the lay faithful share with ordained ministers, and men and women religious a responsibility for the Church’s mission. John Paul II recalls how his predecessor, Pope Paul VI, said that the Church had an authentic secular dimension. She lives in the world even if she is not of the world. The Church is sent to continue the redemptive work of Christ. That work by its very nature concerns the salvation of humanity and involves the renewal of the whole of the temporal order. All members of the Church, though in different ways, share in this secular dimension. According to Vatican Council II, the lay faithful have a particular approach that is properly theirs. It has a “secular character.” The Council expressly speaks of the lay faithful as receiving their call from God in the secular world. They “live in the world,” …in every one of its secular professions and occupations, in every segment of society and culture. This is not just an external and generalized framework but a reality destined to find in Jesus Christ the fullness of its own meaning. Jesus sanctified these human ties, especially the family ones, by submitting himself to the human condition. The Holy Father concludes that “the world” thus becomes the place and the means for the lay faithful to fulfill their Christian vocation. Baptism does not take them out of the world at all. (cf 1 Cor 7:24) On the contrary God entrusts a vocation to them that properly concerns their situation in the world. Led by the Spirit of the Gospel they are to contribute to the world’s sanctification as from within like leaven. Through their situation in the world, God manifests his plan and communicates to them their particular vocation of seeking the Kingdom of God by ordering temporal affairs to that plan. The Council Fathers had this in mind when they said that the secular character of the lay faithful needed to be defined particularly in a theological sense. They must be seen, in a sense, as participating with God in the work of creation. The images of salt, light, and leaven taken from the Gospel, while applying to all, are specifically applicable to the lay faithful. These images, in a particularly meaning way, tell of the radical newness and unique character of lay Christian involvement that has as its purpose the spreading of the Gospel that brings salvation.

WHY IS ITA man wakes up after sleeping

under an ADVERTISED blanket

on an ADVERTISED mattress

and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas

bathes in an ADVERTISED shower

shaves with an ADVERTISED razor

brushes his teeth

with ADVERTISED toothpaste

washes with ADVERTISED soap

puts on ADVERTISED clothes

drinks a cup

of ADVERTISED coffee

drives to work

in an ADVERTISED car

and then . . . .

refuses to ADVERTISE

believing it doesn’t pay.

Later if business is poor

he ADVERTISES it for sale.

WHY IS IT?
