Advent Reconciliation Service Thursday, December 20, 2018

Please plan on joining us for this opportunity as we again join together with Nativity Parish

for our Advent Reconciliation Service.

AWORD FROM FATHER KELLY “O God, who see how your people faithfully

await the feast of the Lord’s Nativity, enable us, we pray, to attain the joys of so great a salvation and to celebrate them always with solemn worship and glad rejoicing.” These words of the opening prayer on this Third Sunday of Advent, or Gaudete Sunday, truly remind us to rejoice. “Rejoice in the Lord always!” St. Paul reminds us. How easy it is to forget that we are to be people of joy. Throughout these days of Advent we can find ourselves far too busy to take time to focus on why we are so busy. Traditionally, from Thanksgiving Day through New Year’s Day we are consumed with shopping, cooking, eating, gathering, partying, and traveling. These are good things in as much as they celebrate the Lord’s coming and strengthen our relationships with one another. But they must be lived with glad rejoicing for they are a celebration of the promised salvation inviting us to eternal life. As we now engage these final days of Advent, intended to prepare us more directly for the Lord’s birth, may we calm ourselves enough to reflect on the true meaning of what we celebrate in the Lord’s coming, so that the joy of God’s love may indeed fill our hearts. Sisters and brothers, as followers of Jesus Christ let us “Rejoice in the Lord always!”

U na Nota del Padre Kelly“Estás viendo, Señor, cómo tu pueblo espera

con fe la fiesta del nacimiento de tu Hijo; concédenos llegar a la Navidad - fiesta de gozo y salvación - y poder celebrarla con alegría desbordante.” Estas palabras de la antífona de entrada de este tercer domingo de Adviento, o domingo Gaudete, verdaderamente nos llaman a regocijarnos. “¡Estén siempre alegres en el Señor!” nos recuerda San Pablo. Qué fácil es olvidar que debemos ser un pueblo gozoso. A lo largo de estos días de Adviento nos podemos ver muy ocupados para hacer un tiempo y analizar ¿Por qué es que estamos tan ocupados? Tradicionalmente, desde el día de Acción de Gracias hasta el día de Año Nuevo, nos consumimos comprando, cocinando, comiendo, reuniéndonos, festejando y viajando. Estas son cosas buenas en la medida en que celebran la venida del Señor y fortalecen nuestras relaciones personales. Pero deben ser vividas con alegre regocijo porque son una celebración de la salvación prometida que nos invita a la vida eterna. Que al adentrarnos en estos últimos días de Adviento; destinados a prepararnos más directamente para el nacimiento del Señor, nos calmemos lo suficiente para reflexionar sobre el verdadero significado de lo que celebramos con la venida del Señor, para que la alegría del amor de Dios inunde verdaderamente nuestros corazones. Hermanas y hermanos, como seguidores de Jesucristo, permitámonos “¡Estar siempre alegres en el Señor!”

REFLEXION de la SEMANA 16 de diciembre, 2018

Tercer Domingo de Adviento

How can you reduce your electricity use this month, as we light our Christmas trees and houses, and warm our homes – have you converted to LED lights yet? Can you leave your lights on one hour less at least once a week? Can you set your thermostat to 68 degrees?¿Cómo podemos reducir el consumo de electricidad este mes, ya que encendemos nuestros árboles de Navidad, iluminamos nuestras casas y calentamos nuestros hogares? ¿Ya se han cambiado a luces LED? ¿Pueden apagar sus luces una hora más temprano por lo menos una vez a la semana? ¿Pueden ajustar el termostato a 68 grados?

Resumen del Evangelio En la lectura del Evangelio de hoy, la gente del pueblo, los recaudadores de impuestos y los soldados le preguntan a Juan el Bautista qué deben hacer. En cada respuesta, y según las circunstancias de cada grupo, Juan los exhorta a tener o a tomar sólo lo que es necesario o lo establecido. Juan también le deja claro a todos que el Cristo al que ellos han estado esperando, está todavía por venir.

Refl exión para los padres El evangelio destaca varios valores cristianos que se aprenden en el hogar — generosidad, justicia, sinceridad y el estar contento con lo que se tiene. Tómese un tiempo hoy para pensar en cada uno de estos valores. ¿Cómo están sus hijos aprendiendo estos valores a través de su ejemplo? ¿Cómo puede hacer que estos valores sean más parte de su vida familiar a medida que se acerca la Navidad?Trayendo las buenas noticias a su familia En este punto intermedio del tiempo de Adviento, elijan en familia una manera de compartir lo que tienen con los demás. Tal vez pueden donar abrigos y suéteres que estén en buen estado o sombreros y guantes nuevos a un albergue local. Si el banco de alimentos de la parroquial necesita donaciones, vayan de compras y ayuden a satisfacer esta necesidad de alimentos. Si son una familia con talentos musicales, planeen llevar villancicos navideños a su vecindario o a un centro comunitario.Inicios para platicas 1. Que es algo de lo que tengo más que suficiente... 2.Puedo compartir el extra que tengo con...3. Algo que me resulta difícil de compartir es...Preguntas de la Semana

Adultos: ¿A quiénes han traído alegría tus últimos actos de bondad? ¿Qué actos de bondad puedes hacer esta semana? Niños: ¿Qué cosa amable has hecho por alguien últimamente? ¿A quién podrías hacer feliz con tu bondad esta semana?

Gospel SummaryIn today’s Gospel reading, those in the crowd, tax collectors, and soldiers all ask John the Baptist what they should do. In each response, and according to each group’s circumstance, John emphasizes keeping or taking only what is needed or prescribed. John also makes it clear to all that the Christ for whom they have been waiting is yet to come.Refl ection for ParentsThis Gospel highlights several Christian values that are learned in the home—generosity, fairness, truthfulness, and contentment with what you have. Take some time today to think about each of these values. How are your children learning these values through your example? How can you make these values more a part of your family life as Christmas nears?Bringing the Good News Into Your FamilyAt this halfway point in Advent, choose as a family one way you can share what you have with others. Perhaps you can donate gently used coats and sweaters or new hats and mittens to a local shelter. If your parish food pantry is in need of donations, go grocery shopping and help meet the need for food. If you are a musically gifted family, plan to carol in your neighborhood or at a local care facility.Discussion Starters1. Something that I have more than enough of is . . . 2. I can share the extra that I have with . . . 3.Something that is hard for me to share is . . .Questions for the Week

Adults: To whom have your past acts of kindness brought joy? What acts of kindness could you do this week?Children: What kind thing have you done for someone lately? Whom could you make happy by your kindness this week?

Gift Shop News Words of Inspiration: “In your heart Joy;

at your table Abundance; in your home – Peace”.We would like to take this time to wish you a joyous, peaceful and wondrous Christmas season. May we enter the New Year with love, grace, and gratitude for our many blessings. We hope you will come in and browse. There are wonderful children’s books with inspiring and fanciful stories – taking us back to younger days. Remember, a book is a gift you open again and again. As always we have added new and exciting Folk Art from around the world. There are many unique Nativity scenes from which to choose. Thank you to the staff of the Old Mission Gift Shop. While most are new employees they have made this a fun time by sharing their unique spirit while learning and welcoming visitors to our world. I do appreciate their contribution to our happy place.

We welcome to visit us 7 days a week from 9-4 pm. We will be closed on Christmas Day but will be with you

again on the day after Christmas. The AVID program, Advancement Via Individual Determination, is a national program which serves SLO HS students who are on a path to attend college, often the first in their family to do so. AVID at SLO HS needs tutors to work alongside the teachers with a small group of students. The time commitment is 12:40-2 pm on Tuesdays and Thursdays from end of November until end of February. Some fluency in high school math is ideal. Training will be provided by the AVID teachers, who are regular credentialed teachers at SLO HS.

Whatever you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.
