1st Sunday of Advent Reflection
HOPEFUL EXPECTATION
Our Liturgical year begins with the season of Advent-a
time of hopeful expectation of the coming of the Lord.
On the First Sunday of Advent we look forward to the end
of time when we will awaken to the dawn of Christ’s new
day. Today we hear Isaiah speak of a day when God’s
power will have brought universal peace on God’s Word
will have instructed all people, radiating God’s
“light” (teachings) into all of human society. Only when
humanity walks “in the light of the LORD” (Isaiah 2:5),
when all people desire to be instructed “in (God’s)
ways” (Isaiah 2:3), will the world be set aright and our
deepest longings fulfilled. The reading from Romans call
us to “awake from sleep” for this final “day is at
hand” (Romans 13:11,12). Together this Sunday’s scrip-
tures proclaim our Christian faith that Jesus is the One
who will finally come to fulfill God’s plan of salvation.

ST. CECILIA’S GOT “FORMED”
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you. (Jeremiah 1:5)
God is a potter who wants to form out of the
clay of our lives something beautiful.
Formed.org is not just a website to teach us
intellectual ideas or Catholic doctrine, but an
instrument God wants to use to form us into the persons
we were meant to be. I’m excited about this organization
that we have contracted with to be available to our parish
providing parish good solid catholic formation. I hope you
will take the time to look at it. Fr. John

Reflexión del Primer Domingo de Adviento
ESPERAR CON GOZO
Nuesto año litúrgico comienza con el tiempo de Adviento,
una temporada de expectativa por la venida del Señor. En
el Primer Domingo de Adviento anticipamos el fin de los
tiempos cuando despertaremos al amanecer del Nuevo día
de Cristo. Hoy escuchamos a Isaías hablar del día en que
el poder de Dios habrá traído paz universal y la Palabra de
Dios habrá instruido a todos los pueblos, irradiando la
“luz” (enseñanzas) de Dios a toda la raza humana. Sólo
cuando la humanidad camina “a la luz del Señor” (Isaías
2:5), cuando todos los pueblos deseen marchar “ por sus
sendas” (Isaías 2:3), el mundo se enderezará y nuestros
más profundos anhelos serán cumplidos. La lectura de
salvación “está más cerca” (Romanos 13:11, 12). Las
lecturas de este domingo proclaman nuestra fe cirstiana en
que Jesús as Aquél que al final vendrá a dar cumplimiento
al plan de salvación de Dios.

COMUNHÃO A PESSOAS DOENTES
Se conhecem pessoas que se encontram
doentes, nas suas casas, nos hospitais ou em
lares de terceira idade e que devido à doença
não podem participar na Santa Missa mas
gostariam de receber a Sagrada Comunhão,
por favor podem entrar em contacto com o P.
John para assim se poder arranjar uma visita com o
sacerdote ou com um ministro extraordinário da
comunhão. Os hospitais não dão informações se, se
encontra algum paroquiano doente, por isso precisamos da
vossa ajuda.obrigado.
Antes de te haver formado no ventre materno, Eu ja te conhecia.
(Jeremias 1:5) Deus é o oleiro que quer formar da argila da nossa vida algo de bonito. Formed.org não é so um site da internet
para nos ensinar ideias intelectuais ou doutrina Católica, mas um instrumento que Deus quer usar para nos formar nas pessoas que fomos destinados a ser. Estou entusiasmado sobre esta organização com quem contratamos para estar disponível aos nossos paroquianos formação solida na nossa fé Católica. Espero que tiram um pouco de tempo para o visitar.

TEMA DO 1º DOMINGO DO TEMPO
DO ADVENTO
Neste 1º Domingo do Tempo do Advento, a Palavra de
Deus apresenta-nos uma primeira abordagem à “vinda” do
Senhor. Na primeira leitura, pela boca do profeta Jeremi-
as, o Deus da aliança anuncia que é fiel às suas promessas
e vai enviar ao seu Povo um “rebento” da família de
David. A sua missão será concretizar esse mundo sonhado
de justiça e de paz: fecundidade, bem-estar, vida em
abundância, serão os rutos da acção do Messias. O
Evangelho apresenta-nos Jesus, o Messias filho de David,
a anunciar a todos os que se sentem prisioneiros:
“alegrai-vos, a vossa libertação está próxima. O mundo
velho a que estais presos vai cair e, em seu lugar, vai
nascer um mundo novo, onde conhecereis a liberdade e a
vida em plenitude. Estai atentos, a fim de acolherdes o
Filho do Homem que vos traz o projecto desse mundo
novo”. É preciso, no entanto, reconhecê-l’O, saber
identificar os seus apelos e ter a coragem de construir,
com Ele, a justiça e a paz. A segunda leitura convida-nos
a não nos instalarmos na mediocridade e no comodismo,
mas a esperar numa atitude activa a vinda do Senhor. É
fundamental, nessa atitude, a vivência do amor: é ele o
centro do nosso testemunho pessoal, comunitário,
eclesial.
