FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT

FOCUS: Jesus has come to us as our King and Shepherd.

In a few days, we will celebrate the great gift that God has given to humanity two thousand years ago: the gift of Jesus. Jesus comes as Savior of the world and as the majestic King – but also as a Shepherd who cares deeply and personally for each one of us on our journey. He is truly God’s gift to us. LITURGY OF THE WORD

In the first reading, Micah prophesies that tiny Bethlehem will be the birthplace of the Messiah, a great ruler for all time. Paul reflects on Jesus’ offering of himself and his obedience to God’s will, through which we are consecrated. The Gospel depicts Mary’s visit to Elizabeth, who recognizes Mary’s role as Mother of God. ENFOQUE: Jesús vino a nosotros como nuestro Rey y Pastor.

Dentro de unos días, celebraremos el gran regalo que Dios hace dos mil años le ha dado a la huma-nidad: el regalo de Jesús. Jesús viene como Salvador del mundo y como el Rey majestuoso, pero también como un pastor que se preocupa profundamente y personalmente por cada uno de nosotros en nuestro viaje. Él es verdaderamente un regalo de Dios para nosotros. LITURGIA DE LA PALABRA

En la primera lectura, Miqueas profetiza que la pequeña Belén será el lugar de nacimiento del Mesías, un gran gobernante para todos los tiempos. Pablo reflexiona sobre la ofrenda que Jesús hace de sí mismo y su obediencia a la voluntad de Dios, a través de la cual somos consagrados. El Evangelio re-presenta la visita de María a Isabel, quien reconoce el papel de María como Madre de Dios.

If you know of any members of the Parish that we

should include or delete from our prayer list, please

With compassion & concern,

we offer our prayers for the sick

Daily Reflections for Advent & Christmas Week 4

Sunday Dec. 23–Impossible Faith in an Inexplicable God– “Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord

would be fulfilled.” (Luke 1:24) Prayer: Holy Mothers Mary & Elizabeth, obtain for us the gift of faith that sustains Christmas joy even

when circumstances challenge it, and the gift of courage to face the challenge.

Monday Dec. 24-I Promise! – “I will raise up your heir after you...and I will make his Kingdom firm. I will be a father to him, and he shall

be a son to me. Your house & your Kingdom shall endure forever before me; you throne shall stand firm forever.” (2 Sm 7:12, 14a) Prayer:

Jesus Christ, the promised light & peace, come to us again in the approaching night, & shine within & among us for all time!

Tuesday Dec. 25-How Many Syllables Has Love– All the ends of the earth have seen the saving power of God. (responsorial psalm re-

frain; cf. Ps 98:3) Prayer: Jesus Christ, Word of God made flesh, speak your word of God’s love in us and through us. Teach us to hear it as

it is spoken in and through others. Make all of us your living vocabulary of love.

Wednesday Dec. 26-First Light & Last– Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord: the Lord is God & has given us light.

(Alleluia verse, Ps 118:26a,27a) Prayer: O Jesus Christ, Light of the World, born for us in Bethlehem & our guide & companion ever since,

strengthen our faith to recognize & follow you wherever you lead us, trusting that you will be with us to the end—& beyond.

Thursday Dec. 27-Page Turner- [W]hat we have seen with our eyes, what we looked upon & touched with our hands concerns the

Word of life—for the life was made visible; we have seen it and testify to it. (1 Jn 1:1b-2b) Prayer: Lord Jesus Christ, made flesh for us,

crucified for us, raised up again for us, walk with us through our whole story, from conception to the place beyond the grave!

Friday Dec. 28-Dangerous Child – [Herod] ordered the massacre of all the boys in Bethlehem & its vicinity two

years old & under. (Matt 2:16) Prayer: God of all times & seasons, turn all our energies to the service of the future

you desire as we pray, “Thy kingdom come.”

Saturday Dec. 29-The Constant Future- “Lord, now let your servant go in peace; your word has been fulfilled: my

own eyes have seen the salvation which you prepared in the sight of every people.” (Luke 2:29-31) Prayer: God of

past and future, grant us the insight & courage to walk wisely into the future you have entrusted to us through those

who have gone before, that we may also leave a legacy of wisdom & hope to the next generation.
