“For it is by God’s grace that you have been saved through faith. It is not the result of your own efforts, but God’s gift, so that no one can

boast about it” EPHESIANS 2, VS. 8-9

Hospitality: Join us for coffee and donuts in the Parish Hall after Mass on

Sundays. Apoye los esfuerzos de recaudación de fondos de los diferentes grupos en

nuestro Salón Parroquial los Domingos después de la Misa.

This Sunday’s readings seem to indicate that the

Christmas message is not contained within the infancy

narratives and stories of the Holy Family, rather, they

include all of us who strive to live as disciples of the

Lord. All who testify to life in the Spirit received in

baptism look to all the prophetic figure of John the

Baptist, pointing to the Lamb of God, and emulate his

example. John echoes the message of Isaiah who, in

today’s first reading, recognizes God’s call to serve

his chosen people. In the second reading, Saint Paul

greets the Corinthians, affirming the joy of those who

serve the Lord.

Today, our technical advances in mass

communication allow us to better see the shadows of

our world. As members of the Church, how are we

called to be the light of Christ in the midst of those

shadows? Keeping this question in mind, it is

important for us to pray the today’s Psalm refrain

during this week: “Here am I, Lord; I’ve come to do

your will” (Psalm 40:2).

*******************************************

Los textos de este domingo parecen indicar con más claridad que el mensaje navideño no es exclusivo de las narraciones del nacimiento de Jesús y la Sagrada Familia, sino que también nos incluye a todos nosotros que tratamos de vivir como discípulos de Señor. En la figura profética de Juan Bautista que señala al Cordero de Dios, estamos reflejados todos los que queremos dar testimonio de la vida del Espíritu, recibida por nuestro bautismo. Juan Bautista hace eco a la promesa de Isaías, quien reconoce el llamado de Dios de servir al pueblo escogido por Dios (primera lectura). San Pablo, con su saludo a los corintios, afirma la alegría de los que sirven a Dios (segunda lectura). Los medios de comunicación nos ayudan a conocer más las sombras que caen sobre el mundo. ¿Cuándo veremos que somos nosotros, la Iglesia, los que a través del servicio, estamos llamados a ser luz entre la sombra? Es importante vivir la respuesta del Salmo, orando toda la semana: “Aquí estoy, Señor para hacer tu voluntad” (Salmo 40,2).

PARISH NEWS

2017 (ABCD) Begins One in Faith, One in Hope, One in Charity Understanding that we are made in the image and likeness of God can help us to understand why God put into the humanity of every man and woman the vocation – and thus the capacity and the responsibility – of love and communion. To live out this vocation requires a growth in virtue that leads us to make gifts of ourselves to God and to others. Your faithful and generous participation in the ABCD flows from God’s many blessings to you and to those you hold dear. Next weekend is the 2017 ABCD Commitment weekend. The ABCD supports all of the vital ministries and programs throughout the Archdiocese of Miami, and it is our one opportunity during the year to support all the people of God beyond the boundary of our own parish. Please prayerfully consider supporting the ABCD. Your gift directly helps our parish to pay its share of the important work of the archdiocese. Let us strive for 100% participation: not equal gifts, but equal sacrifice! We invite you to join us to be One in Faith, One in Hope and One in Charity. Imagine a gift that gives forever. That is what happens with an endowment. What you give today will strengthen our parish family by providing perpetual financial support. For more information on how to leave a legacy, contact the rectory or call the Office of Planned Giving at (305) 762-1110.

ABCD 2017: Unidos en la Fe, Unidos en la Esperanza, Unidos en la Caridad El entendimiento de que estamos hechos a imagen y semejanza de Dios nos puede ayudar a comprender por qué Dios puso en la humanidad de cada hombre y de cada mujer la llamada –y por lo tanto, la capacidad y la responsabilidad– del amor y de la comunión. Para vivir esta vocación se requiere de un crecimiento en la virtud que nos lleva a hacer donación de nosotros mismos a Dios y a los demás. Su participación fiel y generosa en el ABCD fluye de las muchas bendiciones de Dios para usted y sus seres queridos. El próximo fin de semana es el Fin de Semana del Compromiso con el ABCD 2017. El ABCD es la fuente de apoyo de todos los ministerios cruciales y programas que existen en la Arquidiócesis de Miami, y es nuestra única oportunidad durante el año para dar nuestro apoyo a todo el pueblo de Dios más allá de los límites de nuestra propia parroquia. Por favor, considere en oración el dar su apoyo al ABCD. Su donativo ayuda directamente a nuestra parroquia a pagar su parte en la importante labor de la Arquidiócesis. Esforcémonos por lograr una participación del 100%: no se trata de hacer donaciones iguales, ¡sino de hacer el mismo sacrificio! Le invitamos a permanecer con nosotros Unidos en la Fe, Unidos en la Esperanza, Unidos en la Caridad. Imagínese un regalo que dure para siempre. Eso es lo que sucede con un legado. Lo que usted dé hoy fortalecerá a nuestra familia parroquial, proporcionándole un apoyo financiero perpetuo. Para obtener más información acerca de cómo dejar un legado, póngase en contacto con la Oficina de Donaciones Planificadas, llamando al (305) 762-1110. ******************************************************************* PARISH FINANCES - OCTOBER 2016
