Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish Fremont, CA December 4, 2016 In the Old Testament, God commanded Moses to take great pains in the proper construction of the Ark of Covenant, the sacred container in which the people of Israel preserved three things: 1. the stone slabs with the 10 Commandments chiseled on them; 2. some of the manna that God had miraculously sent from heaven; and 3. the staff of Aaron, Moses' brother, the high priest of Israel. The Old Covenant was a preparation for the New Covenant. And so, these items, Israel's most precious possessions are all symbolized Christ. 1. Jesus himself is God's Word, more truly and fully than the cold stone tablets of the Ten Commandments. 2. His real presence in the Eucharist makes him the real bread from heaven. 3. His perfect sacrifice on the cross made him the definitive high priest of human history. Now if the items inside the Ark of the Covenant foreshadowed Christ, what was foreshadowed by the Ark itself, the container of those items? In the New Covenant, it foreshadowed Mary, whose womb became the Ark. God had commanded the Israelites to make Ark out of acacia wood, which, like cedar wood, doesn't corrupt with age. And they also had to cover the entire Ark, inside and out, with gold the most valuable and stainless metal known to the ancient world. These special requirements for the Ark reflected the unique importance of what the Ark contained: The Ark was the sign of God's presence among his people. When the Old Covenant symbols gave way to the New Covenant reality, God himself prepared the Ark of the New Covenant, Mary, Jesus' Mother, just as carefully has he had commanded the old one to be prepared. This privilege stemmed not from her greatness, but because of the incomparable greatness of what she would contain: Jesus Christ, God himself, our Savior. This week as we journey through the season of Advent and celebrate the Immaculate conception of Mary on the 8 th, and the dedication of our Church on the 10 th. As we look toward her as our Patron, we are invited to be like her AN ARK where Christ our Savior can find a dwelling place! Wish you all a Blessed Feast of the Immaculate Conception and happy Second anniversary of the dedication of our Church! Fr. Joy Kumarthusseril, mf

En el Antiguo Testamento, Dios le encomienda a Moisés la adecuada construcción del Arca de la Alianza, el cofre sagrado en el cual la gente de Israel guardaría tres cosas: 1. las tablas de piedra con los 10 Mandamientos; 2. algo del maná que Dios milagrosamente mandó del cielo; y 3. la Vara de Aarón, hermano de Moisés, Sacerdote de Israel. La Antigua Alianza fue una preparación para la Nueva Alianza. Y así, estos objetos los más preciados para Israel, son símbolo de Cristo. 1. Jesús mismo, la Palabra de Dios, más completo y verdadero que las frías tablas de los Diez Mandamientos. 2. Su presencia real en la Eucaristía lo hace verdadero Pan del Cielo. 3. El perfecto Sacrificio de Jesús en la Cruz lo hace definitivamente supremo sacerdote en la historia de la humanidad. Ahora, si las cosas dentro del Arca de la Alianza anunciaron a Cristo, qué fue anunciado por la misma Arca, el cofre o los objetos? En la Nueva Alianza, se anuncia a María, su vientre se convirtió en el Arca. Dios encomendó a los Israelitas que construyeran un arca con madera de acacia, la cual, como la madera de cedro, no se descompone con el tiempo. Y además debían cubrirla por dentro y por fuera con oro el metal más valioso conocido en el mundo antiguo. Estos requisitos especiales para el Arca, demuestran la importancia de lo que contenía el Arca: El Arca era el símbolo de la presencia de Dios entre su gente. Cuando los símbolos del la Antigua Alianza dieron paso a la realidad de la Nueva Alianza, Dios mismo preparó el Arca de la Nueva Alianza, María, la Madre de Jesús, con el mismo cuidado con que se preparó la antigua. Esta estirpe privilegiada, no por su grandeza, sino por la incomparable grandeza que ella contendría: Jesucristo, Dios mismo, nuestro Salvador. Esta semana, al recorrer la temporada de Adviento celebramos la festividad de la Inmaculada Concepción de María, el 8 de diciembre, y la dedicación nuestra Iglesia el día 10. Al verla a ella, como nuestra Patrona, estamos invitados a ser como ella UN ARCA donde Cristo nuestro Salvador pueda encontrar una morada. Les deseo a todos una bendecida Fiesta de la Inmaculada Concepción y un feliz Segundo Aniversario de la dedicación de nuestra Iglesia!
