A QUOTE FROM POPE FRANCIS

Jesus on the cross feels the whole weight of the evil, and with the force of God's love he conquers it; he defeats it with his resurrec-

on. This is the good that Jesus does for us on the throne of the cross. Christ's cross, embraced with love, never leads to sadness, but to joy, to the joy of having been saved and of doing a li le of what he did on the day of his death.

― Pope Francis, The Church of Mercy

ASSISTED SUICIDE

Stop Assisted Suicide in CA before it’s too late! Earlier this year, through a Special Session, the CA legislature passed assisted suicide, allowing doctors to prescribe overdose medica on to terminally ill pa ents. Join a coa-li on of physicians, nurses, disability-rights organiza ons, and people of all faiths to stand for the lives of our elder-ly and dying and oppose assisted suicide! This weekend, December 12 & 13, 2015, pe ons will be available for signature outside of Masses. Signers must be registered to vote and can only sign once.

Why Oppose Assisted Suicide? • Sends the Wrong Message: Legalizing suicide for the

terminally ill, while discouraging it for the rest of the popula on, teaches that the lives of the ill and disa-bled do not ma er to our society.

• Will Worsen Pa ent Care: Pa ents in other states, like Barbara Wagner in Oregon, are being denied treatment prescribed by their doctors, and instead offered drugs for assisted suicide.

• Will Increase Non-Terminal Suicide Rates: Suicides skyrocket when assisted suicide is legalized. Oregon's suicide rate for non-terminal people increased 49% a er assisted suicide became legal.

Books: The Queen's Portrait: Story of Guadalupe [232.1Ama]; Guadalupe: Mother of the New Crea on [232.1Eli]; The Image of Guadalupe [232.1Smi] and in Spanish- Album Conmemora vo de Las Apariciones [232.1Agu]; Conozco a Nuestra Senora de Guadalupe [232.1Gue] DVD: Guadalupe, a Living Image [232.1Jan]; Woman Clothed with the Sun [232.1EWTN]; The Blood and the Rose [232.1Hoy]; Guadalupe [232.1Xen]

STEWARDSHIP THOUGHT

In today’s Gospel we hear the prophet John the Bap st being asked a profound stewardship ques on: “What should we do?” Each group wants to know the appropri-ate response to John’s call; each reply points to how they should treat others. John does not simply say, “Be bap-

zed.” Rather, he points them to their jobs and personal rela onships. John’s message is simple: judgment is near, and repentance includes trea ng others well. We should be willing to share what we have with those in need. To listen to John the Bap st is to be called to account. Do I give only of my excess, or am I the good steward who is willing to sacrifice in order to help others?

CELEBRATE This Sunday, God rejoices and sings because of us. We read in Zephaniah today that God “will sing joyfully be-cause of you, / as one sings at fes vals” (Zephaniah 3:18). We know plenty about singing at fes vals. Already our ears are ringing with the songs and carols that an ci-pate the Christmas season. Paul reminds us of the source of our own double rejoic-ing: God is the mighty savior who is in our midst (in Zeph-aniah’s words). Because this is so, says Paul, we can re-joice and be at ease. We don’t have to worry, for God’s peace will stand guard over our hearts and minds. A medieval carol depicts Christmas as “my dancing day” and urges us to enter into the dance. Why all the merrymaking? Because “the Lord is near,” as Paul re-minds us (Philippians 4:5). He then points to another rea-son for the dancing: the dawn of the promise of peace, the peace beyond all understanding, that is now within our grasp.

CITA DEL PAPA FRANCISCO Jesús en la cruz siente todo el peso del mal, y con la fuerza del amor de Dios lo vence, lo derrota en su resurrección. Este es el bien que Jesús nos hace a todos en el trono de la cruz. La cruz de Cristo, abrazada con amor, nunca conduce a la tristeza, sino

a la alegría, a la alegría de ser salvados y de hacer un po-quito eso que ha hecho él aquel día de su muerte.—Papa Francisco, La Iglesia de la Misericordia

SUICIDIO ASISTIDO

¡Paren el suicidio asis do en CA antes de que sea demasia-do tarde! A principios de este año, a través de un período extraordinario de sesiones, la legislatura de CA aprobó el suicidio asis do, lo que permite a los médicos a recetar me-dicamentos de sobredosis a los pacientes con enfermeda-des terminales. Únanse a una coalición de médicos, enfer-meras, organizaciones de los derechos de discapacidades, y a la gente de todos los credos a representar la vida de nues-tros ancianos y moribundos y oponerse al suicidio asis do! Este fin de semana 12 y 13 de diciembre, las pe ciones estarán disponibles para recolectar firmas después de todas las Misas. Deben estar registrados para votar y sólo pueden firmar una vez. ¿Por qué Oponernos al Suicidio Asis do? • Envía un Mensaje Equivocado: Legalizar el suicidio para los enfermos terminales, mientras desalentamos al resto de la población, nos enseña que la vida de los enfermos y los discapacitados no enen importancia para nuestra socie-dad. • Empeorará el Cuidado al Paciente: Los pacientes de otros estados, como Bárbara Wagner en Oregon, se les niega el tratamiento prescrito por sus médicos, y en su lugar ofre-cen medicamentos para el suicidio asis do. • Aumentará el Suicidio No Terminal: Los suicidios se dispa-ran cuando el suicidio asis do es legalizado. La Tasa de sui-cidio en Oregon para las personas no terminales incremen-tó un 49% tras la legalización del suicidio asis do.

Lupe será entrevistado en la estación de radio “Salt and Light Radio Hour” por el diácono anfitrión Pedro Guevara Mann.

10 THINGS YOU CAN DO FOR THE POOR AT CHRISTMAS

There are many things you can do during the Ad-vent and Christmas seasons to assist efforts to alle-viate hunger in your community. Whether you vol-unteer individually, as a family or as part of a group or parish, the possibili es for serving the poor are almost limitless. Consider doing one or more of the 10 sugges ons below:

1. Pray for the poor, and ask God to transform your own a tudes about those in need, realiz-ing that all of us are poor in some way before God’s grace.

2. Add a pe on to your own family prayers asking that the members of the parish community open their hearts to the poor.

3. Collect food items for the food pantry in Social Concerns.

4. Volunteer to assist a pantry for a day of sor ng, bagging or distribu ng.

5. Buy fast food gi cer ficates to give out to peo-ple you see who need a meal or to those who request your aid on our downtown streets.

6. Collect fast food and other gi cer ficates to be handed out to those in need who stop by the parish.

7. Volunteer at your parish, or Brother Benno’s soup kitchen.

8. Fast for a meal this month and offer the money you would have spent to Social Concerns or Catholic Chari es for the poor.

9. Make your own generous financial gi to an or-ganiza on that serves the poor.

10. Think about ways to use your professional skills in a volunteer capacity at your chosen an -hunger organiza on. There are many programs, including Supplemental Nutri on Assistance Pro-gram (SNAP) screening and applica on assis-tance centers, food banks, and other an -hunger organiza ons, that can use your help to make sure that all eligible people have access to nutri on assistance and an -hunger programs.

You will find rich rewards in fulfilling these stew-ardships tasks. For Jesus said that whatever we do for one of the least of his brothers and sisters, we do it for him (see Ma hew 25:40).

10 COSAS QUE PUEDES HACER POR LOS POBRES DURANTE LA NAVIDAD Hay muchas cosas que podemos hacer durante el Adviento y la Navidad para aliviar el hambre en nues-tras comunidades. Ya sea que sirvas individualmente como voluntario, como parte de tu familia o con un grupo o parroquia, las posibilidades para ayudar al po-bre son sin límites. Considera hacer una o más de las 10 sugerencias mencionadas abajo: 1. Ora por los pobres, y pídele a Dios que transforme

tu ac tud sobre los necesitados, dándote cuenta que de una manera u otra, todos somos pobres frente a la gracia de Dios.

2. Adiciona una pe ción a tus oraciones familiares pidiendo que los miembros de la comunidad parro-quial abran sus corazones a los pobres.

3. Colecta comida para la dispensa de Asuntos Socia-les.

4. Asiste por un día en alguna dispensa ya sea clasifi-cando, embolsando o distribuyendo.

5. Compra cer ficados de comida rápida y dáselos a aquellos que necesitan comer o que están pidien-do tu ayuda en las calles de nuestra ciudad.

6. Colecta cer ficados de comida rápida u otros cer -ficados para dárselos a aquellos que pasan por la parroquia y enen necesidades.

7. Ayuda en tu parroquia, o en la cocina de Brother Benno’s.

8. Abstente de comer una comida este mes y ofrece el dinero que hubieras gastado a Asuntos Sociales o a Caridades Católicas.

9. Haz un regalo monetario generoso a alguna organi-zación que ayuda a los pobres.

10. Piensa como puedes u lizar, en capacidad de vo-luntario, tus habilidades profesionales en una or-ganización contra el hambre de tu elección. Hay muchos programas, incluyendo los centros de de-tección y asistencia para el Programa Suplementa-rio de Asistencia Nutricional (SNAP), bancos de ali-mentos y otras organizaciones contra el hambre que pueden u lizar tu ayuda para asegurarse de que todas las personas elegibles tengan acceso a los programas de asistencia nutricional o preven-ción del hambre.

Tu encontraras riqueza en cumplir con estas tareas de Co-responsabilidad. Ya que Jesús dijo: “ que todo lo que hicieron por uno de mis hermanos, aun por el más pequeño, lo hicieron por mí.” (Mateo 25:40)
