Rosario Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, un milagro histórico. Entre el 9 y el 12 de diciembre de 1531, apenas una década después de la Conquista, ocurrió el milagro que cambiaría para siempre el destino de todo un continente. Juan Diego, un indígena convertido al catolicismo, pudo contemplar por sí mismo a la Virgen María en un pequeño cerro a las afueras de lo que hoy es la ciudad de México. El acontecimiento Guadalupano es una invitación para retomar nuestros valores cristianos y alimentar nuestra fe día con día no solo para estas fechas, hoy más que nunca necesitamos ponernos en manos de nuestra señora que nos dice: Yo soy la siempre Virgen María, Madre del verdadero Dios, por quien se vive. Deseo vivamente que se me construya aquí un templo Ella quiere el templo de nuestro Corazón. Hoy nuestra señora nos invita a subir al cerro como lo hizo con Juan Diego. Sube, hijo mío el más pequeño, a la cumbre donde me viste y te di órdenes, hallarás que hay diferentes flores; córtalas, recógelas y en seguida baja y tráelas a mi presencia". Juan Diego subió y cuando llegó a la cumbre, se asombró mucho de que hubieran brotado tan hermosas flores. Y tú te atreves a subir al cerro, para descubrir las maravillas de Dios en tu vida? HOSPITALIZADOS: Por favor informe en la Oficina si tiene algún familiar o amigo enfermo y desea que sea visitado. Comparte café y donas con nosotros en el salón de la Iglesia todos los Domingos después de la misa de las 8:00 Ayuden a las comunidades religiosas. Su generosa contribución nos ayuda a cuidar a nuestras hermanas jubiladas y permite que nuestras hermanas más jóvenes continúen en un ministerio activo, escribe una hermana religiosa. Su donativo a la colecta de hoy para el Fondo para la Jubilación de Religiosos ayuda a proporcionarles medicamentos, enfermeros y más a miles de hermanas, hermanos y sacerdotes de órdenes religiosas, de edad avanzada. Esto ayuda también para asegurar que los miembros más jóvenes puedan continuar las buenas obras de sus mayores!

3 Page 3 December 10, 2017 FROM THE Advent marks the PRIESTS DESK start of a new liturgical year for the Church. The readings for Sunday Mass are arranged on a three-year cycle. Each year features a different Gospel Matthew, Mark, or Luke. Readings from the Gospel of John are interspersed throughout all three years. With this year s first Sunday of Advent, we begin Cycle B of the Lectionary, which focuses our attention on the Gospel of Mark. Last week and this week our readings from Mark s Gospel present two important Advent themes: the Lord s return at the end of time and John the Baptist s preparation for Jesus. On this the Second Sunday of Advent, we are invited to reflect upon the role of John the Baptist, who prepared the way for Jesus and the salvation that he would bring to us. Mark s description of John as an ascetic, living in the desert, clothed in camel hair, and eating locusts and wild honey, is reminiscent of the description of the prophet Elijah found in II Kings. The people of Judea and Jerusalem flock to him, listening to his message of repentance and forgiveness; they also come to him to be baptized. Advent is more than a preparation for the Church s celebration of Christ s birth at Christmas. Advent is also about preparing ourselves for Christ s return in glory at the end of time. We too are called to prepare de way of the Lord. Like John the Baptist, we are messengers in service to one who is greater than we are. Taken from: ( Del Escritorio El Adviento marca Del Sacerdote el comienzo de un nuevo Año litúrgico para la Iglesia. Las lecturas en las Misas dominicales se ordenan en ciclos de tres años. Cada año presenta un evangelio distinto: Mateo, Marcos o Lucas. Extractos del evangelio de Juan se intercalan a lo largo de los tres años. Con el 1er Domingo de Adviento este año comenzamos el Ciclo B del Leccionario, centrado en el evangelio de Marcos. La semana pasada y esta encontramos en Marcos dos importantes temas del Adviento: el regreso del Señor al final de los tiempos y el mensaje de preparación proclamado por Juan el Bautista. En este 2do Domingo de Adviento estamos invitados a reflexionar sobre el papel de Juan el Bautista, quien prepara el camino de Jesús, a través del cual seremos salvos. Marcos nos presenta un Juan ascético, cobijándose en desiertos, ciñendo ropas rústicas, alimentándose de saltamontes y miel silvestre al estilo del profeta Elías, como leemos en II Reyes. Personas de Judea y Jerusalén acudían a él para escuchar su mensaje de arrepentimiento, de perdón y ser bautizados. El Adviento es más que una preparación para las fiestas eclesiásticas por la Natividad de Cristo. Adviento es también nuestra preparación en la expectación del Regreso glorioso de Cristo al final de los tiempos. Hemos sido llamados a preparar el camino del Señor. Como el Bautista, también servimos a quien es más poderoso que nosotros, (
