FAMILY PRAYER AROUND THE ADVENT WREATH Second Week—(2 Purple candles.)

In the name of the Father of the Son and the Holy Spirit.

O Emmanuel, Jesus Christ, desire of every nation,

Savior of all peoples, come and dwell among us.

Jesus Christ is our peace.

He is the Prince of Peace, and the fruit of His presence is

peace. Christ comes to bring justice, wholeness, and

RETIREMENT FUND FOR RELIGIOUS

Today Sunday, December 8

Support elderly religious.

Across the United States, hundreds of

religious communities lack financial

resources sufficient to meet the

retirement and health-care needs of

aging members.

Many elder religious worked for years

for small stipends, leaving a large gap

in retirement savings. At the same

time, fewer religious are able to serve

in compensated ministry.

Like many Americans, religious

communities face the monumental

challenge of funding eldercare.

Changing Demographics

By 2029, retired religious are

projected to outnumber wage-earners

by nearly three to one.

SAINT JUAN DIEGO (1474-1548) December 9 How well Mary’s own words describe Juan Diego: “God has cast down the

mighty from their thrones and lifted up

the lowly” (Luke 1:52). Through him,

for the diverse peoples of the Americas,

indigenous and immigrant, the Mother

of God became known as their Mother,

too. Cuauhtlatzin, his given name,

means “One Who Speaks Like an Ea-

gle,” and Juan Diego faithfully deliv-

ered the Virgin’s request that a church

be built at Tepeyac where she had ap-

peared to him. To the skeptical bish-op’s request for a sign, Our Lady

showed Juan Diego roses blooming

through stony ground, despite winter’s

cold. When he unfolded his tilma to

present them to the bishop, imprinted

there was Mary’s image! Her blue sash

and the flower over her womb were

traditional Aztec symbols of pregnancy

and new life. But her features were

those of a mestiza, indicating mixed

Aztec-European heritage. Thus to peo-ples too easily prone to a “clash of cul-

tures,” Our Lady of Guadalupe remains

the enduring icon of unity-in-diversity,

the fruit of our one baptism into Jesus,

her Son.

New bible study on the Book of Job starting on Thursday, Nov.

21st (You are welcome to join us even if we have started already) The book of Job tells the story of a righteous man who

is overwhelmed by suffering and complains to God until God

comes to speak with him. In an age where suffering was seen as

a sign of punishment for sin, Job's suffering is doubled when all

his friends impugn his character as they witness his sorrows.

Listen to God's Word in the midst of pain. For enrollment and to

secure a study set for Job call Dr. Neil Fanning:805-217-4300.

Study is held at St. Rose of Lima School in room 8 at 7pm on

Thursday evenings. For more info call Dr. Neil Fanning at

DID YOU KNOW?

Practice situational awareness as part of your holiday travel plans

At Christmastime, families come together to spend this blessed

season surrounded by their loved ones, and for many families, this

involves some travel. Parents with young children who are hitting

the roads or the airways should be practicing situational awareness

to ensure their children’s safety. Situational awareness means

staying alert and knowing what’s going on around you. Keep an

eye out for suspicious activity, and know where your family

members are at all times. Don’t allow yourself to become distracted by your phone or other electronics—it only takes a minute for a

child to disappear from your eyesight. For more holiday travel tips,

visit http://www.catholic.org/travel/story.php?id=65521.

¿Sabia Usted?

En Navidad, las familias se reúnen para pasar esta bendita

temporada rodeadas de sus seres queridos, y para muchas

familias esto implica algunos viajes. Los padres de familia

con niños pequeños que usen las carreteras o los aeropuertos

deben estar conscientes de la situación para garantizar la

seguridad de sus hijos. La conciencia situacional significa

estar alerta y saber lo que sucede a su alrededor. Manténgase

atento/a de las actividades sospechosas y conozca dónde

están los miembros de su familia en todo momento. No se

distraiga con su teléfono u otros dispositivos electrónicos,

sólo toma un minuto para que un niño desaparezca de su

vista. Para obtener más consejos sobre viajes de vacaciones,

LA INMACULADA CONCEPCION DE LA VIRGEN MARIA

Dia Santo pero no de Obligacion en este año.

La celebración se cambia al dia lunes, 9 de diciembre.

SAN JUAN DIEGO (1474-1548)

9 de diciembre

Cuauhtlatoatzin (el que habla como las águilas) fue un indígena mexicano de

raza chichimeca nacido en Cuautitlán a quien Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe

se le apareció por vez primera el 9 de diciembre de 1531 mientras iba a par-

ticipar en la celebración eucarística que tenía lugar en Tlatelolco. La virgen

le habló por su nombre indígena, en diminutivo, enalteciendo a Juan Diego y

le pidió que fuera al palacio del arzobispo Fray Juan de Zumárraga y le pidi-

era que le edificara un templo, ahí en el lugar de las apariciones, en el Tep-

eyac. Juan Diego cumplió la misión, pero no le creyeron. Volvió a donde la

Señora en dos ocasiones hasta que en la tercera, le pidió una prueba requeri-

da por el arzobispo. Por mandato de la virgen corta rosas de castilla (de un

lugar pedregoso y en temporada de invierno) y las lleva en su manto al ar-

zobispo. Al descubrir el ayate ante Fray Juan, la Virgen de Guadalupe

plasmó su imagen en la tilma de Juan Diego. Era el 12 de diciembre de 1531.
