GOD’S PROMISE The lengthy passage from Samuel is a wonderful exposition of God’s promise to the house of David: that his throne would forever be gloriously occupied by his descendants. Hidden in the mystery of the prophecy is the promise of the Savior, the Messiah, Son of God and Son of David. The prophet Nathan, speaking in God’s name, poetically turns around David’s plan to build a house for God, and announces God’s plan to build a “house,” that is, a dynasty for David. From this house of David will come the Messiah, the Christ, not in kingly splendor as David ruled, but as a humble man, destined to rule forever and over all. When God gives a gift, it’s amazing what we are given—so different from what we ever could have imagined.

LA PROMESA DE DIOS El largo pasaje de Samuel expone de manera maravillosa la promesa de Dios a la dinastía de David: que su trono siempre estaría ocupado gloriosamente por sus descendientes. Oculta en el misterio de la profecía está la promesa del Salvador, el Mesías, Hijo de Dios e Hijo de David. El profeta Natán, quien habla en nombre de Dios, desbarata poéticamente el plan de David de construir una casa para Dios y anuncia que el plan de Dios es construir una “casa”, una dinastía, para David. De esta dinastía de David provendrá el Mesías, el Cristo, quien no llegará con el esplendor majestuoso con el que reinó David, sino que vendrá como un hombre humilde, que gobernará por los siglos de los siglos. Cuando Dios hace un regalo; lo que recibimos es asombroso: es muy distinto a lo que podríamos haber imaginado. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

A WORD FROM FR. RAY

UNA PALABRA DEL PADRE. RAY

On behalf of the staff and ministries of Christ the King, we wish you a Blessed Christmas filled with thy joy of Lord. May your families and loved ones cherish the moments you spend with one another giving thanks for the greatest gift that God gave to all of us …. His son! Father Ray

En nombre del personal y los ministerios de Christ the King, les deseamos una Bendecida Navidad llena de la Alegría de nuestro Señor. Que sus familias y seres queridos aprecien los momentos que pasan el uno con el otro dando gracias por el mejor regalo que Dios nos ha dado... ¡Su hijo Jesus!

Padre Ray

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Children of the parish are somewhat focused on Santa Claus these days, who is keeping an eye on who's naughty and who's nice. Santa Claus, with his heavenly patron Saint Nicholas, has been more or less in charge of gift-giving to American children for a hundred years or so. In other places, perhaps more attentive to our Christian tradition, there are different gift-bearers. In Greece, Saint Basil delivers the presents on his feast day, December 31, and makes sure everyone is sprinkled with holy water. The Baby Jesus is in charge elsewhere, called the Christkind in Austria and Belgium, El Niño Jesús in Columbia, and Le Petit Jesus in France, where he shares his duties with Père Noël. In the Czech Republic almost everyone is atheist, but Je í ek, the infant Jesus, brings gifts to one and all. In Poland the "Star Man" is said to bring the gifts, although often he turns out to be the village priest in disguise. Saint Nicholas, not his Americanized cousin, is the giver in Holland, where he wears a bishop's miter, and in Russia, where he wears a bishop's crown. Soviet Russia tried to dethrone Saint Nicholas and promote Grandfather Frost, but no one was much fooled by this attempt to squeeze religion out of Christ's birth. One country has a saintly woman in charge of the gifts, Saint Lucy, honored in Sweden on December 13, when children serve their parents breakfast in bed, and others awake to news that they have been nominated for a Nobel Prize. Some children have a second round of gifts on Epiphany, when the magi assume the gift-giving duties. In

general, the gifts of Christmas are simple pleasures, not great heaps of treasures. Once upon a time, a new pair of socks or an orange was enough for us. No matter what gifts we receive, all of them are to point us to the true gift, and the true giver. --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE De las muchas tradiciones latinoamericanas para celebrar el Adviento y la Navidad, las Posadas parecen ser lo mejor conocido en EE. UU. Tienen su origen en la última mitad del siglo XVIII cuando las estrepitosas Misas de Aguinaldo dejaron de ser celebradas en México. Para remplazar la festividad de esas Misas, los laicos decidieron celebrar en sus casas tomando lo que habían visto dramatizado en los templos, esto es, el recorrido de José y María mientras buscaban posada en Belén. Como las "Antífonas de la O" de la liturgia oficial cristiana, estas Posadas llegaron a ser celebradas nueve noches consecutivas. 200 años después, muchos latinos continúan celebrando las Posadas en EE. UU. Recuerdo como de niño cantábamos "En el nombre del cielo" recorriendo las calles del barrio hasta llegar a la casa donde nos abrirían con cantos, tamales, galletitas y chocolate. Ese recorrido de José y María lamentablemente sigue todos los días en los pasos temerosos y cansados de tantos inmigrantes en este país. Como la Sagrada Familia, otras familias latinoamericanas continúan buscando hospedaje con la esperanza de dar a luz una nueva vida para sus hijos e hijas.--Fray Gilberto Cavazos-

LOVE TREE

...

For unto us a child is born. The Word made Flesh.

God’s Only Begotten Son. Wonderful Counselor, Prince of Peace.

Jesus came to save the World So that Mankind would no longer be

slave to original sin.

Through Jesus’ life, death and resurrection, He assumed our humanity so that we may become holy. This is the true meaning of

Christmas. Jesus came so that we may live and help us to understand that peace on

earth good will towards men begins with each and everyone of us.

We remember the reason for the season and look to the coming of Jesus as a reminder of

whom God calls us each to be.

Jesus called a little child to Him, and placed the child among them and He said: “Truly I

tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the

kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the

greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven. (Matthew 18:2-4)

May the light of Christ remind us that today

we are all lights of Christ to one another. God bless you always and Merry Christmas.

Ellen Cabaluna-Lerum

Para nosotros, un niño nace. La Palabra se hizo carne. El Hijo Unigénito de Dios.

Maravilloso Consejero, Príncipe de Paz. Jesús vino a salvar el mundo.

Para que la humanidad ya no sea esclava del pecado original.

A través de la vida, la muerte y la resurrección de Jesús, Él asumió nuestra humanidad para que podamos llegar a ser santos. Este es el verdadero significado de la Navidad. Jesús vino para que podamos vivir y ayudarnos a

comprender que la paz en la tierra y la buena voluntad hacia los hombres comienza con

todos y cada uno de nosotros.

Recordemos la razón de la temporada y miramos hacia la venida de Jesús como un

recordatorio de quién Dios quiere que seamos cada uno de nosotros.

Jesús llamó a un niño hacia Él, y colocó al niño entre ellos y dijo: "En verdad te digo, a

menos que cambies y te vuelvas como niños pequeños, nunca entrarás al reino de los cielos. Por lo tanto, quien toma la humilde

posición de este niño es el más grande en el Reino de los Cielos. (Mateo 18: 2-4)

Que la luz de Cristo nos recuerde que hoy somos todos Luces de Cristo el uno para el

otro. Dios te bendiga siempre y Feliz Navidad.

Ellen Cabaluna-Lerum

LITURGY CORNER

ESQUINA LITURGICA

Fourth Sunday of Advent

Fullness is an experience we glimpse only briefly in this world. Once in a while, the tank is full of gas, the pantry shelves are stocked, our appetites are completely satisfied. But then the world keeps spinning, and we have to search out more gas, more groceries, more food. God designed us to be satisfied with nothing less than eternity; God alone provides fullness. Today's readings praise God for being everything, at all times, to everyone. King David learns that God alone has the power to order history to fulfill the divine plan. Saint Paul praises God's glory "forever and ever" for bringing salvation not just to the Israelites, but to all nations. Sweetest of all, Mary learns that God has filled her with grace. Mary is uniquely capable of holding God's fullness in her flesh--a fullness so vibrant that it becomes a child, our Lord Jesus Christ.

POSSIBILITIES "What could happen?" That question affects each of us differently. Some of us are thrill-seekers, diving into unfamiliar territory with no regard for obstacles or dangers; others have learned from painful experience that the future may hold suffering or disaster. This last, brief Sunday of Advent emboldens us. Our readings remind us that our God is the God of possibilities. And while God's care does not guarantee that we will not encounter suffering, we can absolutely count on God's power to raise us to glory.

GLORY BE! Truly, God creates us for glory. The burdens of daily life can shrink our hopes, but we must remember that we are made for nothing less than infinite glory. Who could have believed that the beleaguered Israelite nation

could defeat all of its enemies? And yet our first reading today proclaims that God gave David "rest from his enemies on every side." Who could hope to unify the entire world in obedience to one Messiah? And yet Saint Paul insists that the "only wise God" has revealed salvation through Jesus to all people. Who could expect one young woman to decide the course of human history? And yet the angel tells Mary that her yes will establish a kingdom to endure forever. We know, of course, that Israel did not maintain its peace. Even today, that area of the world is far from stable. We also recognize the wide variety of world religions that do not acknowledge Jesus Christ as the true savior. Though God has set us on the path to fullness and glory, we are still broken. Our danger lies not in hoping for too much, but in trusting too little in God. God can resurrect any darkness--replacing terror with peace, healing ancient wounds, uniting families, bringing stability to chaos. This is the message of Christmas. God can, and will, do everything to cover the world in love.

Cuarto Domingo de Adviento

POSIBILIDADES "¿Qué podría pasar?" Esa pregunta nos afecta a cada uno de nosotros de manera diferente. Algunos de nosotros somos buscadores de emociones, sumergiéndonos en territorios desconocidos sin considerar los obstáculos o el peligro; otras personas han aprendido de experiencias dolorosas que el futuro puede tener sufrimientos o desastres. Este último y breve Domingo de Adviento nos enaltece. Nuestras lecturas nos recuerdan que nuestro Dios es un Dios de posibilidades. Y

mientras el cuidado de Dios no garantiza que no encontraremos sufrimiento, podemos absolutamente contar con la fuerza de Dios para levantarnos en gloria.

¡GLORIA SEA DADA! Verdaderamente, Dios nos crea para la gloria. Las cargas de la vida diaria pueden hacer pequeñas nuestras esperanzas, pero debemos recordar que estamos hechos para nada menos que la gloria infinita. ¿Quién pudo haber creído que la asediada nación israelita podría derrotar a todos sus enemigos? Y todavía nuestra primera lectura de hoy proclama que Dios hizo a David "descansar de todos sus enemigos". ¿Quién podría esperar unir el mundo entero en obediencia al Mesías? Y sin embargo, san Pablo insiste que Dios "infinitamente sabio" ha revelado la salvación a todas las personas por medio de Jesús. ¿Quién podría suponer que una joven mujer decidiría el curso de la historia? Y todavía, el ángel le dice a María que su sí establecerá un reino que perdurará para siempre. Sabemos, desde luego, que Israel no mantuvo la paz. Aún hoy día, esa región del mundo está muy lejos de la paz. También reconocemos la amplia variedad del mundo de las religiones que no reconocen a Jesucristo como el Salvador. Aunque Dios nos ha puesto en el camino de la plenitud y la gloria, todavía no estamos unidos. Nuestro peligro radica no en esperar demasiado, sino en confiar muy poco en Dios. Dios puede resucitar cualquier oscuridad, remplazar el terror con la paz, sanar heridas antiguas, unir familias, traer la estabilidad del caos. Este es el mensaje de Navidad. Dios puede, y hará, lo que sea necesario para cubrir al mundo con amor. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
