December 10, 2020
To: Clergy, Religious and Laity in the Archdiocese of New
Orleans
Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ:
In the Archdiocese of New Orleans, we have declared 2021 as a
Year of the Eucharist and St. Joseph. For months, we have been
preparing materials for the Year of the Eucharist and very recently
Pope Francis proclaimed 2021 a year to honor St. Joseph. After
consultation with the Presbyterian Council we have combined the two
observances. As we receive information from the Vatican on the St.
Joseph observance we will make those available to you and provide
opportunities to honor St. Joseph.
The reason for 2021 being dedicated to the Eucharist is to help
all of us grow in our relationship with Christ and learn more
about:
- The meaning of the parts of the Mass - The theology of the
Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist - The obligation we have
as Catholics to participate in Mass on Sunday Please be assured of
my prayers for you as the pandemic continues. This year has been
very challenging and we will be glad to welcome 2021!
God’s blessings in this Advent season, I am
Sincerely in Christ, Most Reverend Gregory M. Aymond Archbishop
of New Orleans.
FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT
THE CHURCH OFFICES WILL BE CLOSED THURDAY, DECEMBER 24TH AND
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 25TH, IN CELEBRATION OF THE NAVITY OF OUR
LORD”
MERRY CHRISTMAS!
2020--LIVING REMEMBRANCE CHRISTMAS TREE The Altar Society will
once again be selling ornaments for the Living Remembrance
Christmas Tree. This is a great way to remember Living or Deceased
family and friends. The money collected is used to purchase
cleaning supplies used by the Altar Society and for church
expenses. The price is the same: $5 for single name - 10 for two
names (exp: Mr & Mrs Smith) - $10 for one family (The Smith
Family)
Selling of ornaments will be handled differently due to Covid
19: Forms to request an ornament will be located by eachdoor.
Complete form and include your name and phone num-ber in case we
need to contact you regarding spelling of name or to get the
announcement card to you. Put the com-pleted form with the correct
amount of cash or check to cover the number of ornaments reques ng
into an envelope marked: Living Remembrance Tree. Put the envelope
in the collec on basket or bring to parish office. The Altar
Socie-ty members will make the ornaments and hang on the tree. If
you need a mass card, please include the number of cards needed.
Someone from the Altar Society will contact you and let you know
where to pick-up the card (s) you need. These precau ons are needed
to prevent mul ple people handling pens & money. This also
prevents the need for crowds wai ng around the table trying to
purchase ornaments.

CUARTO DOMINGO DE ADVIENTO
ARBOL NAVIDEÑO DEL RECUERDO VIVIENTE 2020
La Sociedad del Altar volverá a vender adornos para el Árbol de
Navidad del Recuerdo Viviente. Esta es una excelente manera de
recordar a familiares y amigos vivos o fallecidos. El dinero
recaudado se utiliza
para comprar artículos de limpieza y otros gastos de la
iglesia.
El costo es el mismo: $5.00 por un solo nombre. $10.00 por dos
nombres (ej: Sr. José y Sra. María Hernández) $10.00 por una
familia (ej: Familia Hernández)
La venta de adornos se manejará de manera diferente debido a
Covid 19. Los formulalrios para solicitar un adorno estarán
ubicados en cada Puerta. Complete el formulario e incluya su nombre
y número de te-léfono en caso de que necesitemos comunicarnos con
usted con respecto a la ortografía del nombre o para entregarle la
tarjeta. Coloque el formulario completo con la cantidad correcta de
efectivo o cheque para cu-brir la cantidad de adornos solicitados
en un sobre marcado: Árbol Navideño del Recuerdo Viviente. Después
coloque el sobre en la canasta de colección o llévelo a la oficina
parroquial. Los miembros de la So-ciedad del Altar harán los
adornos y los colgarán en el árbol. Si necesita una tarjeta incluya
el número de tarjetas necesarias. Alguien de la Sociedad del Altar
se comunicará con usted y le informará donde recoger la
tarjeta.
Estas precauciones son necesarias para evitar que varias
personas manipulen bolígrafos y dinero. Así se evita multitudes
esperando alrededor de la mesa tratando de comprar adornos o
recoger sus tarjetas.
10 de diciembre de 2020
Para: Clero, Religiosos y Laícos de la Arquidiócesis de Nueva
Orleans.
Queridas hermanas y hermanos en Cristo:
En la Arquidiócesis de Nueva Orleans, hemos declarado el 2021
como año de la Eucaristía y San José.
Durante meses, hemos estado preparando materiales para el año de
la Eucaristía y muy recientemente, el Papa Francisco proclamó el
2021 como un año para honrar a San José. Después de consultar con
el Consejo Presbiterial, hemos combinado las dos celebraciones. A
medida que recibamos información del Vaticano sobre la observancia
de San José, los pondremos a su disposición y le brindaremos
oportuni-dades para honrar a San José.
La razón por la que 2021 está dedicado a la Eucaristía es para
ayudarnos a todos a crecer en nuestra relación con Cristo y
aprender mas sobre:
-El significado de las partes de la Misa. -La teología de la
presencia real de Cristo en la Eucaristía. -La obligación que
tenemos como católicos de participar en la Misa del domingo.
Tenga la seguridad de mis oraciones por usted mientras la
pandemia continua, ¡Este año ha sido muy desafiante y estaremos
encantados de darle la bienvenida al 2021!
Bendiciones de Dios en esta temporada de Adviento,
Sinceramente en Cristo, Reverendísimo Gregory M. Aymond
Arzobispo de Nueva Orleans
LAS OFICINAS DE LA IGLESIA ESTARAN CERRADAS LOS DIAS JUEVES 24
Y
VIERNES 25 DE DICIEMBRE EN CELEBRACIÓN DE LA NATIVIDAD DE
NUESTRO SEÑOR.
¡FELIZ NAVIDAD!

THE SANCTUARY LIGHT IN CHURCH BURNS IN MEMORY OF
EMMA MELGAR
LOOKING AGAIN
Luke says that Mary “was greatly troubled at what was said and
pondered what sort of greeting this might be.” She
asks, “How can this be?” These questions don’t fit with how Fra
Angelico positioned Gabriel and Mary. In the Vi-vas illustrations,
the Angel Gabriel sits down with battered
wings and a balding head and has a cup of coffee with Mary as
the two of them try to figure it out together. The
text is the same, but the message conveyed is different. There
is a different degree of comfort and familiarity to
these illustrations. This “having a cup of coffee” is something
we need to learn
to do with the scriptures and with our lives. After this event,
pregnant Mary traveled into the hill country to be
with Elizabeth; an older, wiser, mentor—a mother figure. She
spent three months there reflecting and preparing for the birth of
her child. In this final week of Advent, take a
few moments to find a Gabriel/Mary or an Elizabeth/Mary moment
and read the Christmas readings again to see what
you might have overlooked, and to find a new way for Christ to
dwell in you.
A CLASSIC IMAGE When we think of today’s Gospel, the image of
this meeting
between the Angel Gabriel and Mary by Fra Angelico (1440–1445)
likely comes to mind. In this fresco, Gabriel
and Mary are outside sitting among the columns, and Ga-briel,
with his big wings and hands crossed, gazes upon Mary and gestures
towards her. She is well dressed in a
traditional blue garment, and though her face shows shock, her
folded hands model submission and humility. This
work of art is so beautifully executed that we can miss some of
its finer details. Similarly, because the Gospel scene is so
familiar, we can forget to take in its small details. A few
years ago, this author found a children’s book called “The
Nativity” illustrated by Julie Vivas. Because her drawings were so
fresh and charming and simple, she invited new
perspective on the story.
CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART Christmas! ’Tis the season for kindling
the fire of hospitali-
ty in the hall, the genial fire of charity in the heart.
—Washington Irving

UNA IMAGEN CLÁSICA Cuando pensamos en el Evangelio de hoy,
probablemente
podemos imaginar la pintura de esta reunión entre el ángel
Gabriel y María que hizo Fra Angelico (1440-1445). En ese fresco,
Gabriel y María están afuera y sentados en medio de las columnas, y
Gabriel, con sus grandes alas y manos cruzadas, contemplando a
María y haciendo gestos hacia
ella. Ella está bien vestida en un ropaje tradicional de color
azul y aunque su rostro muestra conmoción, sus manos
cruzadas modelan sumisión y humildad. Esta obra de arte está tan
bellamente ejecutada que podemos desapercibir
algunos de sus más finos detalles. Del mismo modo, porque la
escena del Evangelio es tan familiar, podemos olvidarnos de los
pequeños detalles. Hace unos años, este autor encon-tró un libro
para niños titulado “La Navidad” que fue ilus-
trado por Julie Vivas. Debido a que sus dibujos eran tan
frescos, encantadores y simples, convidaba una perspectiva
nueva en la historia.
VOLVER A MIRAR Lucas dice que María “estaba muy preocupada por
lo que
se le dijo y se preguntaba que tipo de saludo podría ser ese”.
Ella preguntó: “¿cómo puede ser esto posible?” Estas preguntas no
concuerdan como Fra Angelico puso a Gabri-el y María. En las
ilustraciones de Vivas, el ángel Gabriel
sentado con las alas maltratadas, cabeza calva, está toman-do
una taza de café con María mientras los dos juntos tra-
tan de resolverlo. El texto es el mismo, pero el mensaje
transmitido es diferente. Hay un grado diferente de co-
modidad y familiaridad en estas ilustraciones. Este “tomando
café” es algo que tenemos que aprender a hacer con las escrituras y
con nuestras vidas. Después de
este evento, María embarazada viajó a las colinas para es-tar
con Isabel, una mentora sabia y anciana, la figura de
una madre. Ella pasó tres meses ahí reflexionando y
prepa-rándose para el nacimiento de su hijo. En esta última sema-na
de Adviento, dedica unos momentos para encontrar un momento Gabriel
y María o momento Elizabeth y María y
lee las lecturas de Navidad de nuevo para ver lo que po-drías
haber pasado por alto, y para encontrar una nueva
forma de que Cristo habite en ti.
LA NAVIDAD EN EL CORAZÓN ¡Navidad! Es la estación para encender
el fuego de la
hospitalidad en la sala, y el fuego y de la simpatía en el
corazón.
—Washington Irving
