In Today’s Readings
En Las Lecturas de Hoy
El Adviento es un tiem-po para prepararnos a
celebrar la venida de Cristo, que viene a este
mundo igual que cualquiera de noso-
tros, esto es, como un niño nacido de mujer. También éste es un tiempo para de nuevo prepararle a Cristo un lugar en
nuestro corazón y en nuestro mundo. María acep-tó ser el lugar donde habitara el Hijo de Dios.
También nosotros somos llamados a preparar un lugar en nuestro corazón para que habite Cristo y
así pueda manifestarse de nuevo al mundo de hoy, un mundo que tanto necesita de su presencia.
Pregunta de la Semana
¿Cómo puedo aceptar el don de Jesús que se me ha da-do y compartirlo con los demás?
Advent is a time for us to prepare to celebrate
Christ’s coming into this world as one of us, as a
baby boy, born of a woman. It is also a time
to prepare again a place in our hearts and a place in our world for Christ. David took it upon him-self to provide a better dwelling place for the ark
of God. Mary agreed to be the dwelling place for God’s Son. We too are called to prepare a dwell-
ing place in our hearts for Christ so that Christ is again made manifest in the world today, a world
that dearly needs his presence.
Question of the Week
How can I take the gift of Jesus that I have been given and share this gift with others?

EDGE/Lifeteen
Are you looking for a way to get involved, and provide service to the St. Jerome community? The Edge/Lifeteen ministry
could greatly benefit from your help! They meets Wednesday nights 6:30-8:30 and could use some extra help. We prepare meals for the Edge and Life Teen kids every Wednesday, so help preparing the food before hand is very much needed. We also would love to have help running the nights. If you would like more information or are interested in joining, please contact Kaitlin Howton at [email protected]
Also, class will NOT be held on 12/27 or 1/3/18 Classes will resume on January 10th! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
