From the Pastor’s Desk Del Escritorio del Pastor

Dear parishioners and friends:

HAPPY ADVENT

It is hard to believe that today we begin the

Liturgical Season of Advent. Christmas is less than a

month away. If you are like me you are thinking,

“where has the year gone?” All around us the world is

getting ready for Christmas. The Malls are decorated

and Santa has arrived as he listens patiently to anxious

children. Television and newspapers are full of

advertisements. As the song goes, ‘it is the most

wonderful time of the year.’ Soon you will be asked

by family and friends: “are you ready for Christmas?”

This year, let’s together get ready spiritually for

Christmas because despite what the world wants to tell

us, Christmas is a religious holiday. I hope you can

attend Mass every weekend and if possible, during the

week. Make certain your Christmas decorations at

home include a Manger scene with the Holy Family. I

encourage you and your family to attend our Parish

Advent Concert, to be held at St. Luke’s on Sunday,

December 4 at 6:30 p.m. I also encourage you to pray

the Christmas Novena Prayer, beginning on the Feast

of St. Andrew the Apostle on November 30. It is a

prayer my Mom taught me when I was young. You

should pray the prayer fifteen (15) times a day until

Christmas. This beautiful prayer will help you

increase your awareness of the real meaning of

Christmas.

CHRISTMAS NOVENA PRAYER

Hail and blessed be the hour and moment in which the

Son of God was born of the most pure Virgin Mary, at

midnight, in Bethlehem, in the piercing cold. In that

hour vouchsafe, I beseech Thee, O my God, to hear

my prayer and grant my request, [mention your

request]. I pray through the merits of Our Savior,

Jesus Christ, and of His Blessed Mother. Amen.

I wish you and your family a Blessed Advent.

God Bless you and your family, Father Vince

Queridos feligreses y amigos:

Feliz Advenimiento Es difícil creer que hoy comenzamos la

Temporada Litúrgica del Adviento. La Navidad está a

menos de un mes de distancia. Si usted es como yo, ha

de estar pensando, "¿Dónde se ha ido el año? " Todo

a nuestro alrededor, el mundo se está preparando

para la Navidad. Los centros comerciales están

decorados y Santa ha llegado, así como el escucha

pacientemente a los niños ansiosos. La televisión y los

periódicos están llenos de anuncios. Como la canción

dice, " Es la época más maravillosa del año." Pronto

le preguntarán los familiares y amigos: "¿Estás listo

para la Navidad?" Este año, vamos prepararnos juntos

espiritualmente para la Navidad, porque a pesar de lo

que el mundo nos quiere decir, la Navidad es una

fiesta religiosa. Yo espero que puedan asistir misa

todos los fines de semana y si es posible, durante la se-

mana. Asegúrense de que sus decoraciones de

Navidad en sus casas incluyen una escena

del Pesebre con la Sagrada Familia. Yo los animo a

ustedes y a sus familias a que asistan a nuestro

Concierto Parroquial de Adviento, que se celebrará

en la Iglesia de San Lucas el domingo, 4 de Diciembre

a las 6:30 p.m. Yo también les animo a orar la Oración

de la Novena de laNavidad, comenzandocon la Fiesta

del Apóstol San Andrés, el 30 de noviembre. Es una

oración que mi mamá me enseñó cuando era joven.

Usted debe orar esta oración quince (15) veces al día

hasta Navidad. Esta hermosa oración les ayudará a

aumentar su conciencia del verdadero significado de la

Navidad.

ORACIÓN DE LA NOVENA DE LA NAVIDAD

Salve y bendecida la hora y el momento en que nació el

Hijo de Dios de la más pura Virgen María, a

medianoche, en Belén, en el frío penetrante. En aquella

hora, te ruego, oh Dios mío, que oigas mi oración y

concedas mi petición, (mencione su petición). Ruego

por los méritos de Nuestro Salvador, Jesucristo y

de Su Santísima Madre. Amén.

Le deseo a usted y a su familia un Bienaventurado

Adviento,

Que Dios te bendiga ti y a tu familia. Padre Vicente

Stewards Prepare

“Therefore, stay awake! For you do not know on which day your

Lord will come.” MATTHEW 24:42

People who have had health issues or near-death experiences

generally have a greater appreciation for each day being a gift

from God. The rest of us usually take for granted that we will be

around tomorrow. But when in living Stewardship you start to

look at each day as a gift, you realize all the little miracles that

happen daily and grow in gratitude for all that we have been given.

Our Lady of Guadalupe Advent Taizé Service

EXPERIENCE THE SACRED - Through Song and Silence in the Spirit of Taizé

Wednesday, December 7, 2016 Immediately following the Vigil Mass for the Feast of Immaculate Conception - St. Lawrence Church

Please join us for coffee, tea and snacks at the gathering space.

Prayer in the spirit of Taize Community is a meditative form of common prayer. Gathered in the presence of Christ we sing

uncomplicated, repetitive songs, uncluttered by too many words, allowing the mystery of God to become tangible through the beauty

of simplicity. A few words sung over and over again reinforce the meditative quality of prayer. They express a basic reality of faith

that can quickly be grasped by the intellect and that gradually penetrates the whole being.

Spiritual Life Formation / Formación Vida Espiritual

Holy Hour for Vocations

First Thursdays is a monthly Holy Hour for Vocations hosted

by different parishes throughout the diocese. For young men

thinking about the priesthood, it is a chance to spend time in

prayer before the Blessed Sacrament asking the Lord to make

one’s calling clear. For others, it is an opportunity to come

together and beg the Lord to bless our diocese with more

priests in the near future.

Please join us December 1: Holy Hour for Vocations:

7-8 p.m. @ St. Luke
