LETTER FROM OUR PASTOR/CARTA DE NUESTRO PARROCO

4 3

Queridos Feligreses,

La temporada de Adviento ha comenzado. Hoy, vemos que la segunda

vela se enciende en la Corona de Adviento. Se marca el pasaje del tiem-

po al encender progresivamente las cuatro velas, y se simboliza el acre-

centar la luz de la santidad en nuestros corazones.

Diciembre es un mes de festividades. Está precedido por el Día de Ac-

ción de Gracias y seguido por el Año Nuevo. Muchas responsabilidades

adicionales requieren nuestro tiempo. El significado espiritual de Advien-

to está bien situado. Esta vez es una invitación a retirarnos de la tensión

y la presión de las festividades y descansar en compañía de la Sagrada

Familia. Si recordamos la Natividad del Señor como se explica en los

Evangelios, entonces podemos seguir a María y a José mientras se pre-

paran para el nacimiento de nuestro Salvador, Jesús.

La distancia de Nazaret a Belén es de aproximadamente ochenta millas.

Esta es una distancia larga para viajar a pie. José y María se prepararon,

cada uno a su manera para el viaje. Sus corazones estaban llenos de

alegría profunda y duradera. Se habían entregado con espíritu de fe al

nacimiento de Nuestro Salvador. José estaba construyendo la cuna en la

que se colocaría al niño Jesús. María estaba tejiendo las cobijitas en las

que envolvería a Jesús en su nacimiento. Ellos también, como nosotros,

estaban muy ocupados con los preparativos.

Descansemos en compañía de María y José. Ellos nos mostrarán el ca-

mino a Belén.

Oh María, dulce Madre mía, a tu intercesión recurrimos, sabiendo

que tu Hijo divino oirá nuestras oraciones. Y tú, Oh glorioso Pa-

triarca, San José, ayúdanos con tu poderosa intercesión y ofrece,

de las manos de María, nuestras oraciones a Jesús. Amén.

Su Párroco,

Padre David.

Dear Parishioners,

Advent is now well begun. Today, we see the second candle lit

upon the Advent Wreath. The progressive lighting of the four

candles marks the passing of time, and it symbolizes the in-

crease of the light of holiness in our hearts.

December is a month of holidays. It is preceded by Thanksgiving

and followed by the New Year. Many extra responsibilities re-

quire our time. The spiritual meaning of Advent is well placed.

This time is an invitation to withdraw from the strain and pressure

of the holidays and rest in the company of the Holy Family. If we

look back upon the Nativity of the Lord as it is explained in the

Gospels, then we can follow Mary and Joseph as they prepare for

the birth of our Savior, Jesus.

The distance from Nazareth to Bethlehem is about eighty miles.

This is a long distance to travel on foot. Joseph and Mary pre-

pared, each in their own way for the journey. Their hearts were

filled with deep and abiding joy. They had given themselves over

in a spirit of faith to the birth of Our Savior. Joseph was con-

structing the crib in which the infant Jesus would be laid. Mary

was weaving the swaddling cloths in which she would enfold Je-

sus at his birth. They too, just as we are, were very busy with

preparations.

Let us rest in the company of Mary and Joseph. They will show us

the way to Bethlehem.

O Mary, most sweet Mother, to thy intercession we have re-

course, knowing that thy divine Son will hear our prayers. And do

thou, O glorious Patriarch, Saint Joseph, assist us by thy powerful

mediation and offer, by the hands of Mary, our prayers to Jesus.

Amen.

Your Pastor,

Father David.

YEAR OF REPARATION/AÑO DE REPARACIÓN Our Lady of Reparation

Immaculate Virgin, refuge of sinners, in order to atone for the

injuries done to Almighty God and the evil inflicted on humanity by

sin, you accepted with resignation the death of your divine Son on

the Cross, be ever favorable toward us, and in heaven, where you

reign gloriously, continue in our behalf your work of fervor and love.

We would be your children: show yourself to be our Mother.

Obtain from Jesus, our divine Redeemer that he may be pleased

to apply to our souls the fruits of his passion and death, and deliver

us from the bonds of our iniquities.

May he be our light in the midst of darkness, our strength in weak-

ness, our refuge in the midst of danger, may he strengthen us by his

grace and love in this world, and grant us to love him, see him and

possess him in the world to come.

Amen.

(THIS PRAYER WAS COMPOSED AND APPROVED IN 1904 DURING THE PONTIFI-

CATE OF POPE SAINT PIUS X AND CARRIES A PARTIAL INDULGENCE OF 500

DAYS.)

Nuestra Señora de la Reparación

Virgen Inmaculada, refugio de los pecadores, con el fin de expiar las

heridas hechas a Dios Todopoderoso y el mal infligido a la humanidad

por el pecado, aceptaste con resignación la muerte de Tu Hijo divino en

la Cruz, se siempre favorable para con nosotros, y en el cielo, donde

reinas gloriosamente, continúa tu trabajo de fervor y amor en nuestro

nombre.

Obtén de Jesús, nuestro divino Redentor, que se pueda complacer en

aplicar a nuestras almas los frutos de su pasión y muerte, y nos libre de

los lazos de nuestras iniquidades.

Que Él sea nuestra luz entre la oscuridad, nuestra fuerza en la debili-

dad, nuestro refugio entre el peligro, que nos fortalezca por Su gracia y

amor en este mundo, y concédenos amarlo, verlo y poseerlo en el mun-

do por venir.

Amen.

(ESTA ORACIÓN FUE COMPUESTA Y APROBADA EN 1904 DURANTE EL PONTIFICADO

DEL PAPA SAN PÍO X Y LLEVA UNA INDULGENCIA PARCIAL DE 500 DÍAS.)
