THE ETERNAL GOD
King David wished that the ark of God might have a more permanent home. David may have envi-
sioned something like the cedar palace where he resided. God had in mind something more: a throne where Da-
vid’s descendants would rule for ever, a kingdom where Jews and Gentiles alike would be welcome.
Mary’s prayerful nature led to an even more disturbing message. She would conceive and bear a Son
though she was not yet married. “How can this come about?” Mary wondered. “The Holy Spirit will come
upon you,” she was told (Luke 1:35).
Mary’s acceptance of this difficult challenge ushered in this, the final age of God’s reign. What was once a secret known only by chosen people like King
David and his descendants must now be made clear to all so that, as Saint Paul wrote to the Romans, we can be brought to the “obedience of faith” “according to the
command of the eternal God” (Romans 16:26).
EL DIOS ETERNO
El rey David deseaba que el Arca de Dios tuviera un hogar más permanente. David podría haberse imaginado algo así como el palacio de cedro donde residía. Dios tenía en mente algo
más: un trono donde los descendientes de David gobernarían para siempre, un reino donde judíos y gentiles serían bien recibi-
dos por igual.
La actitud devota de María llevó a un mensaje aún más inquietante. Concebiría y daría a luz un hijo a pesar de que aún no estaba casada. “¿Cómo podrá ser esto?”, preguntó María.
“El Espíritu Santo descenderá sobre ti”, le contestó el Ángel (Lucas 1:35).
La aceptación de María de este difícil desafío marcó el comienzo de esta, la era final del Reino de Dios. Lo que antes era un secreto conocido solo por el pueblo elegido como el Rey David y sus descendientes ahora debe quedar claro a todos para
que, como escribió San Pablo a los romanos, podamos llegar a la “obediencia de la fe”, “en cumplimiento del designio eterno de
Dios” (Romanos 16:26).

FEAST OF FAITH Gathering
When Pope Benedict XVI visited the Unit-ed States in 2008, tens of thousands gathered in Yan-
kee Stadium to celebrate the Eucharist with him. What made them different from all the other excited crowds who have assembled there through the years? When they began to sing together, to listen together, to pray together, they ceased to be a crowd, and be-came a liturgical assembly. It was not where they
were but what they did that set them apart. The Gospels speak of many instances when Jesus prayed alone to his Father. But Jesus also put a special value on communal prayer. “Where two or
three are gathered together in my name,” he told his disciples, “there am I in the midst of them” (Matthew 18:20). Jesus gave his own mission to his followers, sending them forth to do everything he did: to heal, to teach, to proclaim the kingdom. Jesus wants us to meet God in and through each other. So the Christian
community continues to gather, Sunday after Sun-day. When we get up on Sunday morning and come
to Mass, we respond to Jesus’ invitation, and we express our trust in his promise that whenever we
come together, he comes, too.
FIESTA DE LA FE
Pedimos perdón
Como el amor de Dios es algo tan obvio, es posible que nos resulte un poco difícil explicarlo. Re-sulta aun más difícil explicarlo cuando en nuestra vida no nos hemos sentido amados por Dios, así como so-
mos, en nuestra humanidad más plena. Si el amor es lo único que basta, si sólo Dios basta, como escribió san-ta Teresa, ¿cómo es que ese amor no nos llega? Pues sí nos llega, a todos y todas, lo que muchas veces sucede
es que no siempre estamos abiertos a ese amor, en cierta forma, nos negamos a él, o bien, no responde-
mos a ese amor tan grande que recibimos de Dios. Por eso pedimos perdón durante la celebración de la Misa,
porque no hemos amado a Dios como él nos amó; porque no hemos seguido su mandato de amar al
prójimo como a nosotros mismos; porque no hemos caminado humildemente ante su presencia y tampoco
hemos vivido la justicia. Porque no hemos dejado todo para seguirlo. Le pedimos perdón mediante el Acto Penitencial, el Señor ten piedad o durante la Pascua,
con la aspersión del agua bendita. Experimentamos así la gran misericordia de Dios, cuyo amor por nosotros
es ilimitado.

SAINT MICHAEL NEWS | NOTICIAS
“COUNTING OUR BLESSINGS” NEEDS YOU! At St. Michael we have a wonderfully dedicated team called, “Counting Our Blessings”. We meet every Monday morning from 8am to 10am, to count the parish offertory from the weekend. We need an additional two members to our team. Currently our team is made up of Amelia Seid, Cathy Lampert, Russ Williams, Blaise Giove, Deborah Ulum, and Deacon Ken.
If you can commit to two hours per week every Monday morning, and are good with counting and details, please email Deacon Ken at
Archbishops Annual Appeal
2020
December 1st update Goal for 2020: $73,500
Total pledged so far: $99,172
Pledges paid to date: $79,200
Goal % achieved to date: 107% !!!
Number of families pledged so far: 324
How exciting for St. Michael to be at 107% of our goal with 2 weeks remaining in 2020. There are still $20k in unfulfilled pledges.
Remember, every dollar we go over our goal is returned to the parish 100% by the Archdiocese in the Spring of 2021.
At this point, every dollar you contribute since we’re over our goal, is coming di-rectly to St. Michael. If we go $12,000 over it will pay for the new rectory roof next year, or the last A/C unit we need to replace in the church!
We are blessed at St. Michael by your generosity.

diciembre
Meta para 2020: $ 73,500
Total prometido hasta ahora: $99.172
Promesas pagadas hasta la fecha: $79.200
Porcentaje de meta alcanzado hasta la fecha: 107% !!!
Número de familias comprometidas hasta ahora: 324
Qué emocionante para St. Michael estar al 107% de nuestra meta con 2 semanas restantes en 2020. Todavía hay $ 20k en promesas incumplidas.
Recuerde, cada dólar que superemos nues-tra meta es devuelto a la parroquia al 100% por la Arquidiócesis en la primavera de 2021.
A este punto, cada dólar que contribuya desde que superamos nuestra meta, llegará directamente a St. Michael. Si pasamos $12,000, pagará el nuevo techo de la recto-ría el próximo año, ¡o la última unidad de aire acondicionado que necesitemos reemplazar en la Iglesia!
Somos bendecidos en St. Michael por su generosidad.

“Christ has no body now but yours. No hands, no feet on earth
but yours. Yours are the eyes through which he looks compas-sion on this world. Yours are the
feet with which he walks to do good. Yours are the hands
through which he blesses all the world. Yours are the hands, yours
are the feet, yours are the eyes, you are his body. Christ has no body now on earth but yours.”
