My soul rejoices in my God.!

SECOND READING 1 Thessalonians 5:16.24�

Paul exhorted the faithful of Thessalonica to “Rejoice

GOSPEL READING John 1:6!8, 19!28�

proclaim God’s saving presence in our lives.!

God of peace, whose word is good news to the oppressed,

healing for the brokenhearted and freedom for all who are

held bound, gladden our hearts and fashion the earth into

a garden of righteousness and praise!!

Sanctify us entirely, in spirit, soul and body, for the

our Lord Jesus Christ, who was, who is and who is to

come, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the

unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.!

“For a stalk to grow or a flower to open there must be

time that cannot be forced; nine months must go by for

the birth of a human child; to write a book or compose

music often years must be dedicated to patient research.

To find the mystery there must be patience, interior

purification, silence, waiting…”! ! ! !

Third Sunday of Advent: Preparing a Highway for Our God!During the Advent Season scripture accentuates the great promises of the Lord for His people. In the Prophet Isaiah, for example, we find encouragement in the following words: “Give comfort to my people, says your God. Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that here service is at an end” (Isaiah 40:1!2). We can build a future on such a promise, since God assures us that the present difficulties and sorrows and burdens are not the end. The promises of the Lord give us reason to hope.��

The Lord asks only that we might prepare a way for him in our lives. He asks that we might make straight in our desert a highway for the Lord. We are asked to clean up any mess that we may have created in our lives. We are asked to confess our sins that we may be forgiven and so that God’s work may begin.��

Tomorrow, Monday, December 18th, at St. Charles Borromeo and at Resurrection the Sacrament of Reconciliation is offered to all who confess their sins. At St. Charles Borromeo priests will be available for confessions in English following he 8:30am Mass for 1 hour and from 4pm to 8pm in the Church. At Resurrection a priest will hear confession from 7pm to 8:30pm. May God be able to travel unimpeded in your life.�

FOCUS!

REFLEJO!

"Alégrate, por que el Señor está cerca!" Nosotros, como Juan Bautista y los profetas, son llamados por el Espíritu Santo para proclamar la acción salvífica de Dios en nuestras vidas.!

"Para una manecilla para crecer o una flor para abrir no debe ser

un tiempo que no puede ser forzado; nueve meses deberá pasar

por el nacimiento de un niño humano; escribir un libro o

componer música a menudo años deben estar dedicados a la

investigación del paciente. Para encontrar el misterio hay que

tener paciencia, purificación interior, silencio, esperando…" !

! ! ! ! ! Pope John Paul II!

PRIMERA LECTURA ! Isaias 61:1�2,10�11 El Espíritu del Señor eligió a Isaías para que anunciara buenas noticias para los humildes, para sanar a los corazones herídos, anunciar a los desterrados su liberación.!

SALMO RESPONSORIAL Lucas 1:46�48, 49�50,53�54 Se alegra mi espíritu en Dios mi Salvador. !

SEGUNDA LECTURA 17 Tesalonicenses 5:16�24 “Vivan siempre alegres, oren sin cesar, den gracias en toda ocasión, pues esto es lo que Dios quiere de ustedes en Cristo Jesús. No impidan la accion del Espíritu Santo”.!

LECTURA DEL EVANGELIO Juan 1:6�8,19�28 Juan no era la luz, pero venía para presentar en el desierto como mensajero, preparando el camino del Señor y proclamando el bautismo de conversión. !

Dios de la paz, cuya palabra es una buena noticia para los oprimidos, sana a los desolados y la libertad para todos los que se encuentran enlazados, alegran nuestros corazones y la moda de la tierra en un jardín de justicia y alabanza!!

Santificarnos enteramente, en espíritu, alma y cuerpo, para la venida de Aquel que incluso ahora está entre nosotros, su Hijo, nuestro Señor Jesucristo, que era, que es y que va a venir, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, Dios por siempre y para siempre.!

Tercer Domingo de Adviento: Preparación de una Autopista para Nuestro Dios. ! Durante el tiempo de Adviento la escritura acentúa las grandes promesas del Señor para con su pueblo. El profeta Isaías, por ejemplo, encontramos el aliento en las palabras siguientes: "dar consuelo a mi pueblo, dice vuestro Dios. Hable con ternura a Jerusalén, y proclamen a su servicio que aquí se encuentra en un extremo" (Isaías 40:1�2). Podemos construir un futuro sobre esa promesa, pues Dios nos asegura que las actuales dificultades y los dolores y las cargas no son el final. Las promesas del Señor nos da motivos para las esperanza.!

El señor sólo pide que podamos preparar un camino para él en nuestras vidas. Él pide que podamos hacer directamente en nuestro desierto una autopista para el Señor. Se nos pide limpiar cualquier desorden que hemos creado en nuestras vidas. Se nos pide confesar nuestros pecados y que podamos ser perdonados para que pueda comenzar la obra de Dios.!

Mañana, Lunes 18 de Diciembre, en San Carlos Borromeo, y a la Resurrección, el sacramento de la Reconciliación es ofrecido a todos los que quieren confesar sus pecados. En San Carlos Borromeo, sacerdotes estarán disponibles para las confesiones en Inglés despues de misa de 8:30am por 1 hora y de 4pm a 8pm en la Iglesia. En la Resurrección un sacerdote escuchará las confesiónes de 7pm a 8:30pm. Que Dios pueda viajar sin trabas en tu vida.!

Efectivo inmediatamente !!!
