This special collection is taken up in all parishes nationwide. Thousands of elderly sisters, brothers and religious order priests have spent years working in Catholic schools, hospitals, parishes and agencies — often for little pay. Their sacrifices leave their religious communities without adequate savings for retirement and eldercare. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious collection helps provide prescription medications, nursing care and more.
Please give to those who have given a lifetime.

How do I access this man who lived 2000 years ago? How do I live this call of love? We uniquely encounter the love of God in His Church. But really? The Church? There are so many negative views of the Church. It’s out of touch. It’s full of bad people. It’s just too boring. Maybe when we say “The Church” we mean a little more. The church is the family of God that’s been lovingly gathered through our entire story. It’s the place we were meant to encounter His grace that prepares us for every step of life. The God that is love knows how we’re made – material and spiritual – we need tangible ways to live our faith. We can’t be spiritual but not religious. This is where we’ll find ultimate happiness in life. This is where the God that has been seeking humanity, who wrote the deepest desires onto our human hearts, encounters us. Jesus’ first words to humanity in the Gospel of John are “what do you seek?” The one that asked the question not only knows the answer, He is the answer. The answers to everything. And you find him most profoundly here in His Church.

What is the Mass? There is no simple answer to that question. The Church uses many different images and terms to describe our most important prayer. The Mass is the celebration of the Eucharist, a Greek word that means “thanksgiving.” It is the Lord’s Supper. It is the Breaking of the Bread. It is the memorial of the Lord’s passion, death, and res-urrection. It is the Holy Sacrifice, in which the sacri-fice of Christ on the cross is perpetuated. It is the holy and divine liturgy, the sacred mysteries. It is the source and summit of our Christian lives, the new covenant, the work of the Holy Spirit, the pas-chal mystery. The many different words and images that we use when we speak of the Mass are not signs of confusion, but of wonder at what the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1328) calls the “inexhaustible richness” of the Eucharist. The Mass, our greatest prayer and our deepest mystery, is cele-brated every day, many times a day, the world over. The Eucharist is both “bread from heaven” and “daily bread.” The Mass is our everyday miracle.
First Reading — We are the clay and you, O Lord, are the potter: we are the work of your hands (Isaiah 63:16b-17, 19b; 64:2-7).
Psalm — Lord, make us turn to you; let us see your face and we shall be saved (Psalm 80).
Second Reading — God is faithful; by God you were called to fellowship with the Son (1 Corinthians 1:3-9).
Gospel — Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come. (Mark 13:33-37).

December 2nd - Youth Meeting Painting Party in the Parish Hall
EL JESÚS DE SAN MARCOS El Evangelio según San Marcos es el más corto y terso de los cuatro. Los discursos de Jesús tienden a ser concisos también. El retrato de Jesús que nos da Marcos no tiene nada de la poesía del Sermón del Monte o del Sermón de la Llanura como en Mateo ni Lucas, ni la extensión y reflexión de los “Yo Soy” los discursos en Juan. El Jesús de Marcos “va al grano”, diríamos hoy. Esto se refleja muy bien en el pasaje de hoy. No es una casualidad que el diálogo de Jesús en este momento en el Evangelio según San Marcos, las palabras finales sobre el fin del mundo, inmediatamente antes de su pasión, esté plagado de signos de ex-clamación y una sensación general de urgencia. Haríamos bien en remodelar nuestra manera de vivir este Adviento, ya que vivimos en un mundo con nece-sidad urgente de escuchar el mensaje que Jesús proclamó. Es hora de que nos “despertemos” y salgamos al mundo para hacerlo.

LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: Primer Domingo de Adviento Lunes: San Andrés Martes: Día Mundial de la Lucha contra el SIDA Jueves: San Francisco Javier Viernes: San Juan Damasceno Viernes: Primer viernes Sábado: Primer sábado FIESTA DE LA Fe Iglesia peregrina Nuestra participación en la Misa requiere que pere-grinemos desde el hogar hasta la iglesia parroquial. Real-mente nuestra preparación comienza en casa, desde que nos disponemos a la participación y emprendemos la per-egrinación. Esto nos recuerda que la Iglesia, en esencia, es peregrina y que sigue esperando la venida del Emman-uel, no sólo del Dios que nace entre nosotros, sino del Dios que, en la persona de Cristo, vendrá de nuevo, de Jesús, cuyo nombre significa: Dios salva. Aunque camina-mos y nos desplazamos a muchos lugares, esta peregri-nación es particularmente significativa porque nos reuni-mos con un mismo fin, celebrar el misterio pascual de Cristo: su pasión, muerte y resurrección. El congregarnos en la casa de la Iglesia, haciendo a un lado nuestras diferencias naturales, para hacernos una voz, un solo pan y un solo cáliz reafirma la posibilidad de caminar juntos hacia Dios, de unir nuestra alabanza, de alimentarnos para el viaje y de celebrar por adelantado el Reino de Di-os anunciado por Jesús. Por eso es que caminamos con un fin, un fin que puede ir más allá de nuestra propia visión, si se quiere, pero que en la perspectiva de Dios, es tan concreto y tan veraz, como el pueblo que se reúne y camina con alegría a la casa de la Iglesia.
