Second Sunday of Advent | Segundo Domingo de Adviento Page 2

From the Desk of Fr. Al Ezeonyeka Desde el escritorio de Fr. Al Ezeonyeka

Open Your Door A Little Wider! Many years ago, I literally used to dread anything church: Mass, homilies, praying the rosary and so on. For me, they were painfully long and offered nothing to me. I couldn’t see the value of doing them. But all that changed when Christ turned my life upside down. He came into my life and completely changed my value-system. My encounter with Jesus was catharsis. I suddenly realized that I was starving of my soul’s food: spending quality time with God in prayer, receiving communion regularly, listening to the word of God, attending retreats, workshops, conferences and serving in the church. Once I started, I couldn’t get enough of these things. “Blessed are those who HUNGER and THIRST for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied”, says Jesus (Mt 5:6). This hunger and thirst became my constant experience. How I wish for a strong hunger and thirst for everything God in our parish community. My attitude before Christ came into my life is typical of many Catholics. The truth of the matter is that, there is apathy in the church. Many people have low appetite and energy for spiritual activities. One of my saddest experiences is to see, in many parishes, the small number of people who turn up for parish spiritual activities outside of Mass. Less then 2% of Catholics attend parish missions, conferences, workshops, novenas, and daily Mass. I must confess that it can be demoralizing to attend these events. Yet, I know that poor attendance is not a sign of rejection of these events, but a lack of spiritual awakening. When people know better they do better. Many are yet to have that life-changing encounter with Christ. Advent is now in full swing. It’s a time of intense spiritual activities in the Church, including prayers, fasting, parish mission, and charitable works of mercy. It is the will of God that everyone encounters his Son Jesus Christ because he is the life of every soul. Jesus himself yearns to come into our lives. As he said, “Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me” (Rev 3:20). So what does it mean to open our heart? It means, to ask, seek and knock. It means to be disposed to the grace of God through prayers, fasting and charitable works. It means taking advantage of moments of grace such as, prayerful and active participation at Mass, retreats, conferences, bible studies and parish services. It means to deliberately invite Jesus to come into our life. What can you do this Advent season to open your door or make it a little wider for Jesus?

¡Abre tu puerta un poco más ancho! Hace muchos años, literalmente solía temer a cualquier iglesia: misa, homilías, rezar el rosario, etc. Para mí, fueron dolorosamente largas y no me ofrecieron nada. No podía ver el valor de hacerlos.

Pero todo eso cambió cuando Cristo cambió mi vida al revés. Él entró en mi vida y cambió completamente mi sistema de valores. Mi encuentro con Jesús fue la catarsis. De repente me di cuenta de que estaba hambriento de la comida de mi alma: pasar tiempo de calidad con Dios en oración, recibir comunión regularmente, escuchar la palabra de Dios, asistir a retiros, talleres, conferencias y servir en la iglesia. Una vez que empecé, no podía obtener suficiente de estas cosas. "Bienaventurados los que padecen HAMBRE y SED por justicia, porque estarán satisfechos", dice Jesús (Mt 5: 6). Este hambre y esta sed se convirtieron en mi experiencia constante. Cómo deseo un fuerte hambre y sed de todo Dios en nuestra comunidad parroquial. Mi actitud antes de que Cristo viniera a mi vida es típica de muchos católicos. La verdad del asunto es que hay apatía en la iglesia. Muchas personas tienen poco apetito y energía para las actividades espirituales. Una de mis experiencias más tristes es ver, en muchas parroquias, la pequeña cantidad de personas que asisten a actividades espirituales parroquiales fuera de la misa. Menos del 2% de los católicos asisten a misiones parroquiales, conferencias, talleres, novenas y misa diaria. Deben confesar que puede ser desmoralizante asistir a estos eventos. Sin embargo, sé que la mala asistencia no es un signo de rechazo de estos eventos, sino la falta de un despertar espiritual. Cuando las personas saben mejor, lo hacen mejor. Muchos aún no han tenido ese encuentro de cambio de vida con Cristo. El Adviento está ahora en pleno funcionamiento. Es un momento de intensas actividades espirituales en la Iglesia, incluidas las oraciones, el ayuno, la misión parroquial y las obras caritativas de misericordia. Es la voluntad de Dios que todos se encuentren con su Hijo Jesucristo porque él es la vida de cada alma. Jesús mismo anhela entrar en nuestras vidas. Como él dijo, “¡Aquí estoy! Me paro frente a la puerta y golpeo. Si alguien oye mi voz y abre la puerta, entraré y comeré con esa persona, y ellos conmigo ”(Ap 3:20). Entonces, ¿qué significa abrir nuestro corazón? Significa, pedir, buscar y llamar. Significa estar dispuesto a la gracia de Dios a través de oraciones, ayunos y obras de caridad. Significa aprovechar los momentos de gracia, como la participación activa y con oración en la misa, los retiros, las conferencias, los estudios bíblicos y los servicios parroquiales. Significa invitar deliberadamente a Jesús a entrar en nuestra vida. ¿Qué puedes hacer en esta temporada de Adviento para abrir tu puerta o hacerla un poco más ancha para Jesús?

YOUTH MINISTRY MINISTERIO JUVENIL

I feel like I have been through a triathlon! My body is sore and weak, I ache in places I didn't even know existed, but once again we had another amazing retreat with our teens! I am constantly blown away every year when we get back from retreat and see the lives that have been changed by the Holy Spirit during this weekend. I pray that those changed lives stay changed and that the temptations of this world and negativity of those around our teens does not damage what our teens went through. It is so hard to keep the fire alive when you come back from a retreat, especially for teens going right back into the thick of school and friends. One of the things we really focused on during the retreat is finding God in our lives and really taking time to look at our own lives and offering up our pain and struggles to God so that we can be closer to him. A huge thank you to our amazing core team for being there to help run the retreat, Steve and Ana for providing amazing music, and to the parents of our teens who brought their teens to our program. Now to sleep and get ready for the next event! Upcoming Events 12/12-Youth Group 12/16 - 1st year class

¡Me siento como si hubiera pasado por un triatlón! Mi cuerpo está adolorido y débil, me duele en lugares que ni siquiera sabía que existían, pero una vez más tuvimos otro retiro increíble con nuestros adolescentes. Cada año me vuelvo asombrado constantemente cuando regresamos del retiro y vemos las vidas que el Espíritu Santo ha cambiado durante este fin de semana. Rezo para que esas vidas cambiadas permanezcan cambiadas y para que las tentaciones de este mundo y la negatividad de quienes rodean a nuestros adolescentes no dañen lo que nuestros adolescentes an experimentado. Es muy difícil mantener el fuego vivo cuando regresas de un retiro, especialmente para los adolescentes que regresan a la escuela y a los amigos. Una de las cosas en las que realmente nos enfocamos durante el retiro es encontrar a Dios en nuestras vidas y realmente tomar tiempo para mirar nuestras propias vidas y ofrecer nuestro dolor y lucha a Dios para que podamos estar más cerca de él. Un gran agradecimiento a nuestro increíble equipo core por estar allí para ayudar a dirigir el retiro, a Steve y Ana por brindar música increíble, ya los padres de nuestros adolescentes que trajeron a sus adolescentes a nuestro programa. ¡Ahora a dormir y a prepáramos para el próximo evento! Próximos Eventos 12/12-grupo juvenil 12/16 - clase de 1er año

Shopping mall safety tips It’s easy for kids to get sidetracked with all the sights, sounds, and smells surrounding us at holiday time. It is especially important to monitor your children when taking them through the mall during the Christmas season. If children become separated from you, teach them to look for a “safe stranger” who can help them. For example, a mom with kids or the cash register person can help a child who is lost. Avoid telling children to go to the “manager.” Any adult in a suit, who looks important, can look like the manager to a child. Children must be told never to leave the mall or store to go looking for you in the parking lot. Let them know that you would never go outside or leave until you are reunited -- no matter what anyone else tells them.

Consejos de Seguridad al ir de Compras a Centros Comerciales

Es fácil que los niños se distraigan con todos los sonidos, las vistas y olores durante la temporada navideña. Es especialmente importante vigilar a sus hijos cuando los lleven a los centros comerciales durante la Navidad. Si los niños se separan de usted, enséñeles a buscar una "persona segura" que les pueda ayudar. Por ejemplo, una mama con niños o la persona detrás de la caja regis-tradora puede ayudar a un niño que este perdido. Evite decirle a los niños que vayan con el "gerente." Para un niño, cualquier adulto con un traje, que parece im-portante, puede verse como el gerente. Los niños deben ser advertidos de no salir del centro comercial o tienda hacia el estacionamiento en busca de usted. Hágales saber a sus hijos que usted nunca saldría afuera del cen-tro comercial o los dejaría hasta que estén reunidos – no importa lo que otras personas les digan.

Retirement Fund

for Religious

Aging religious need your help. Senior Catholic sisters, brothers, and religious order priests ministered for years for little to no pay. Their sacrifices now leave their religious communities without adequate retirement savings. Your gift to today’s second collection for the Retirement Fund for Religious helps to provide medications, nursing care, and more for tens of thousands of elderly religious. Please be generous.

Los religiosos ancianos necesitan su ayuda. Hermanas, hermanos y sacerdotes católicos de órdenes religiosas de edad avanzada laboraron durante muchos años con poco o ningún pago. Sus sacrificios ahora dejan a sus comunidades religiosas sin ahorros suficientes para su jubilación. Su donativo a la segunda colecta de hoy al Fondo para la Jubilación de Religiosos proporciona fondos vitales para medicamentos, enfermeros y más, para cientos de miles de religiosos ancianos. Sean generosos.

Please give to those who have given a lifetime. Done a los que donaron su vida.
