GETTING READY
Today marks the beginning of another liturgical year. The tone of today’s readings casts us in the role of students learning solemn lessons. The readings from Isiah set the stage, calling us up a mountain to receive the Lord’s instruction. In this passage we study peace. Then Paul steps forth with sober admonitions. We have to wake up; the day is almost here. Live honorably in the light. Paul reminds us that we really do know the time in which we are living. Finally, Matthew presents Jesus the storyteller. Just imagine, Jesus tells us, what it was like in Noah’s time. He paints a vivid picture or ordinary people living ordinary lives and ignoring the warnings that Noah heeded. Totally unconcerned, they were destroyed. How will it be any different for us? No one knows when the Lord will come. But we have been warned. Perhaps we find such sobering scriptures unappealing and threatening. But within them there is promise. We are to live in the light with nothing to hide. We are to be ready.

“Show us Lord, your love; and grant us your salvation.” Ps. 85:8
First Sunday of Advent November 27, 2016
COMO PREPARARSE Hemos completado el circulo y hoy empezamos un Nuevo año litúrgico. El tono de las lecturas de hoy nos pone en la posición del estudiante que aprende unas importantes lecciones. La lectura de Isaías prepara la escena, invitándonos a subir a la montaña para escuchar las instrucciones de Señor. En este pasaje estudiamos la paz. Luego Pablo nos presenta advertencias sombrías. Debemos estar alertas porque el día esta a la puerta. Vivan honradamente en la luz. Pablo nos recuerda que sabemos en que tiempo vivimos. Finalmente, Mateo nos presenta a Jesús, el relator. Imagínese, nos dice Jesús, lo que era vivir en tiempos de Noé. Presenta una imagen muy realista de gente común viviendo vidas ordinarias e ignorando las advertencias que destruidos. ¿Podrá ser diferentes para nosotros? Nadie sabe cuando vendrá el Señor. Pero nos advirtió. Tal vez pensemos que ese tipo de Escritura es desagradable y amenazante. Pere contiene promesas. Debemos vivir en la luz; con nada Escondido. Debemos estar listos.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION “People in love make sign of love,” wrote our bishops in a document guiding the renewal of liturgical music. They were not merely urging us to sing at Mass, but suggesting that the song itself is a sign of the love of Christ. Love never expressed dies, as we know from experience. Flowers for no special reason, a caress, a hug, a turn around the dance floor, a note on the pillow or in the lunchbox, the aroma of fresh bread in the kitchen, all are signs of love’s vitality. A significant treasure in our Catholic tradition is the place of the sacraments as signs of Christ’s love. We can trace the sacraments back to scriptural sources, through centuries, God has spoken to us in the arena of the sacraments, and we have responded. For the next year of “Treasure” essays, we will explore the story of sacraments: their sources, their signs and rituals, and the way Christ nurtures and sustains us as we encounter him, the companion on our journey who loves us and faithfully makes signs of that love.

Dear parents, our Christmas Food & Toy Drive ends on Thursday, December 1.
Each year we have the privilege of blessing approximately 130 underprivileged families living in El Cenizo, Rio Bravo, and Santa Teresita Missions. To date, we are still in dire need of your food & toy donations so that we may be able to bless all those children and parents who are less fortunate. Your donations are greatly appreciated and count as student and parent community service hours.
May God bless you abundantly for your
generosity!

Oremos por nuestros hermanos enfermos
Señor Jesucristo, redentor de los hombres, que en tu pasión quisiste soportar
nuestro sufrimiento y aguantar nuestros dolores.
Te pedimos por nuestros hermanos; tu que lo has redimido,
aviva en el la esperanza de su salvación y conforta su cuerpo y su alma.
Tú que vives y reinas por los siglos de los siglos
Amén.
ORACION DEL PRIMER DOMINGO DE ADVIENTO
La tierra, Señor, se alegra en estos días, y tu Iglesia desborda de gozo ante tu Hijo, el Señor Jesús, que se avecina como luz esplendorosa, para iluminar a los que yacemos en las tinieblas, de la
ignorancia, del dolor y del pecado. Lleno de esperanza en su venida, tu pueblo ha preparado
esta corona con ramos del bosque y la ha adornado con luces. Ahora, pues, que vamos a
empezar el tiempo de preparación para la venida de tu Hijo, te pedimos, Señor, que, mientras se acrecienta cada día el esplendor de esta corona, con nuevas luces, a nosotros nos ilumines con el
esplendor de Aquel que, por ser la Luz del mundo, iluminará todas las oscuridades. Te lo pedimos por Él mismo que vive y reina por los
siglos de los siglos. Amén.
