will benefit the Clergy retirement funds.

From Fr. Garcia NOTRE DAME DE LA GUADALUPE. Le 12 décembre ramenait la fête de la Notre-Dame de Guadalupe. En 1531, la Vierge Marie apparut à un pauvre Indien aztèque du nom de Juan Diego à Tepeyac, une colline au Nord-Ouest de la Cité de Mexico. Elle se présenta comme la mère du Vrai Dieu, lui donna des instructions pour que l’évêque fît construire une église sur le lieu et laissa une image d’elle-même imprimée miraculeusement sur son tilma. Le tilma est un tablier de pauvre qualité fait à base de cactus qui aurait dû se détériorer en 20 ans. Aujourd'hui, après 484 ans, il ne montre aucun signe de détérioration et défie toutes les explications scientifiques de son origine. Apparemment, l’image reflète même dans les yeux de la Vierge ce qui était en face d’elle en 1531. Chaque année, une foule estimée à dix millions de personnes la visite, faisant de l’église de la Cité de Mexico le sanctuaire catholique le plus populaire dans le monde après le Vatican. Sa Sainteté le Pape Jean-Paul II visita par deux fois le sanctuaire, se prosterna devant l’image et implora son assistance maternelle. Reine du Mexique et patronne des Amériques depuis 1946, Notre-Dame de Guadalupe a été proclamée Mère de l’Amérique par Jean-Paul II en 1999. Pou fèt Nwèl la nap gen mès minui Ayisyen nan Pawas Kris Rwa jou kap jedi 24 desanm a minui e nap gen mès a midi edmi jou kap 25 desanm lan. Ane sa anko nap gen 3 gwo sware lapriyè, sa nou rele 'Triduum Fen Dane' ki se madi 29, mèkredi 30 ak jedi 31 desanm. Nap klotire Triduum sa kòm dabitid ak yon espesyal lamès kap komanse a 11è nan aswè jou 31 desanm kap vini-an. N’oubliez pas notre traditionnelle Eucharistie avec le Cardinal Sean O’Malley en la Cathédrale Holy Cross le 1er janvier prochain à midi pour fêter Marie, Mère de Dieu ainsi que le 212ème anniversaire de l’indépendance d’Haïti. Gwoup JSC ap òganize yon gran sware yo menm yo rele 'The White Party' jou kap samdi 9 janvye apati 7 PM jouk 1è AM nan legliz Notre Dam de Loud ki nan 439 West St. Se yon sware kote tout moun ap abiye an blan de la tètopye. Ap gen koregrafi, dans ak manje. Patisipasyon se $20 granmoun; $10 pou tout timoun ki poko gen 12zan. Moun ki pral nan pelerinaj Tè Sent an Israel dwe rele Ajans Vwayaj 'Marian Pilgrimages' pou enskripsyon ak depoze lajan. Na va jwenn tout kalite bon enfòmasyon nou bezwen nan nimewo nou jwenn sou flyer-a. Si nou bezwen flyer nap jwenn nan men P. Garcia. Pa bliye pelerinaj Tè Sent lan se de 11 o 22 avril 2016.

Brockton Ultreya In a climate of friendship, Ultreya members share their life

experiences based on the three tenets of Cursillo life: Prayer, Study

and Action. Sharing from real-life experiences serves as examples

to all of us of the challenge which Jesus lays before His followers,

“Go and do likewise.” Brockton Ultreya Meetings are held at St.

Edith Stein Parish and meet next on January 29, 2016 in the

Chapel in the lower Church. All Cursillistas are invited and

encouraged to come. Ultreya meetings are always held on the last

Friday of the month, Ultreya Meeting Dates: Jan 29, Feb 26, Mar

From the Spiritual Development Committee The Pope’s call to a year of mercy for some of the faithful

may begin by reviewing the Church’s teaching on Social

Justice (they can be found in the Catechism or at the US

Bishops great web site). The United States Bishop’s cite the

Seven Themes of Catholic Social Teaching. The first is the Life and

Dignity of the Human Person. Our faith proclaims that human life is

sacred and as such the foundation of all the principles of our social

teaching. Unfortunately, this God centered humanist view is being

threatened. Our Lord wishes that we all surrender to become more

God centered than self-centered. How will you practice this

principle? Perhaps it may be with simple random act of

kindness. Maybe while driving you let someone on a side street

enter. In school, maybe we try saying hello to someone you would

not normally say anything to. How about letting someone who is

hungry to enter the cafeteria before you? Have you ever purchased

a coffee for a person ahead of you in line? How about sharing any

good news that you heard from others or the news? Let’s make

others feel they are loved as we are loved from on high!

4th Sunday of Advent

As kids, we were always included in the preparations to celebrate

Christmas. We would help decorate, make cookies, hang lights,

clean the house and set the table for special meals. There was

always a feeling of excitement and anticipation—along with the

many chores—that kept us busy and thinking about how gret

Christmas would be. The highlight was going to Christmas midnight

Mass where we would be part of a procession that would bring the

infant to the manger. It was a special time and we could feel it in our

young hearts and souls.

Half the joy of celebrating Christmas is in the preparation that serves

to focus our attention on the meaning of Christmas. Those

preparations make a big difference in our attitude and feelings

about this special day. We surround ourselves with reminders of the

coming of the Lord. We can’t help but know that this time of year is

special, unique and holy.

Don’t forget to prepare spiritually. Get involved and read the Gospel

accounts of the first Christmas. Make room for the poor by wrapping

gifts for children, donating food to someone in need or volunteering

at the food pantry or soup kitchen. Visit a shut-in. Help someone

decorate her home. Sing carols at the nursing home. Prepare a little

space for Christ and He will fill it with joy, happiness and peace.
