The Stained-Glass Windows: A Dream Come True

Series written by Fr. Michael A. Van Sloun

Paul raises Eutychus, Acts 20:7-12. St. Luke continues his theme that the disciples of Jesus are to perform great and mighty deeds in his name. Jesus raised the widow of Nain’s son from the dead (Lk 7:11-17, Peter raised Tabitha from the dead (Acts 9:36-42), and Paul raised Eutychus from the dead. The year was 54 or 55 AD. Paul was 60 or 61. He was on his Third Missionary Journey (52-56 AD) and had returned to Troas (Troy) (Acts 20:6). Paul was preaching to a group that had gathered in a third-floor room. Eutychus, a young man, was sitting on the windowsill, sank into a deep sleep, fell from the ledge to the stone pavement below, and died (Acts 20:9). The scene depicts the empty window above with the ledge where Eutychus had been sitting as well as three of the lamps that were burning inside the room (Acts 20:8). Paul went downstairs to the body lying on the street (Acts 20:10a). Paul is dressed in his traditional red cloak, which has partially slipped to his left side, and his white tunic. Paul then “threw himself upon him” (Acts 20:10b) in a manner that resembles how the Prophet Elijah had stretched himself out over the widow of Zarephath’s son (1 Kgs 17:21) and how the Prophet Elisha laid upon the Shunammite woman’s son (2 Kgs 4:34), both who had died. Eutychus is dressed in deep blue, the symbol of darkness, mourning, and sadness, as he lays lifeless on the street, head hanging, hair dangling, and left arm drooping. Paul is shown extended over Eutychus’ body, his right arm underneath him and raising him slightly. And the boy came to life (Acts 20:12a) as had the widow of Nain’s son, Tabitha, the widow of Zarephath’s son, and the Shunammite woman’s son. The people were immeasurably comforted (Acts 20:12b) and God was glorified.

Please pray for the following individuals from our beloved community.

Prayers and sympathy of the parish are offered to the family and friends of …

Shirley Homan

Lois Severud

Eternal rest grant unto them, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. May they rest in peace. Amen.

First Sunday of Advent

Reflection by Sister Mary Anne Schaenzer, SSND

In the Collect prayer at the beginning of Mass, we

have a request that is both beautiful and challenging.

Grant your faithful, we pray, almighty God,

the resolve to run forth to meet your Christ

with righteous deeds at his coming,

so that, gathered at his right hand,

they may be worthy to possess the heavenly

Kingdom.

Imagine, running forth to Christ….

I know that not everyone has had a good “Father” or

“Dad” experience,

but some of us recall running to our Dad when he

came home from work,

and maybe wanting to tell him everything we did that

day, especially if it was good.

We are no longer children, and maybe it is difficult to

have that same enthusiasm.

Let us pray that during this Advent Journey we will

receive a grace to have the enthusiasm of a child

in our anticipation of the Second Coming of Christ.

That is a big desire!

Father, please give us the grace to want to have the

desire to run forth to meet your Christ.

Come, Lord Jesus!

Dear St. Stephen’s Community:

I love to share about the wonderful learning that is going on within the walls of St. Stephen’s Catholic

School. This past week I observed the 4th graders in Ms. Albarran’s gym class. The students started out

choosing which exercises to do based on their preferred color, animal, Marvel character, food, beverage,

etc. Next, they practiced overhand throwing at a moving object by playing a game called “Battleship”.

They took turns being pirates and captains. The game took up the entire area of the gym and I saw a lot

laughter and very winded children. The class ended by a child earning a “Player of the Day” award for

good sportsmanship, helping others, good listening skills, etc.

Let me now take you into Ms. Leider’s preschool classroom. I observed the students engaged in learning

through six stations. Four of the stations were student led and two were teacher led. In 40 minutes

children rotated through activities that involved looking through picture books, doing math problems

with manipulatives, matching colors on a turkey sheet, engineering shapes with building rings, and

artists using sand and shapes. Every preschooler was on task and engaged in the stations.

These are just two snapshots into classrooms this week. Imagine how much more exciting learning takes

place at St. Stephen’s every hour of every school day. I am so proud of our staff and students. They are

truly dedicated to teaching and learning!

Blessings,

Theresa Gunderson

School Principal

Querida comunidad de San Esteban:

Me encanta compartir sobre el increíble aprendizaje que está ocurriendo dentro de las paredes de la

Escuela Católica de San Esteban. La semana pasada observé a los alumnos de 4to grado en la clase de

gimnasia de la Sra. Albarrán. Los estudiantes empezaron eligiendo los ejercicios que harían basados en

su color preferido, animal, personaje de Marvel, comida, bebida, etc. A continuación, practicaron el

lanzamiento por encima de un objeto en movimiento jugando a un juego llamado "Battleship". Se

turnaron para ser piratas y capitanes. El juego ocupó toda la zona del gimnasio y vi muchas risas y

niños muy agotados. La clase terminó con un niño que ganó el premio de "Jugador del Día" por su buen

espíritu deportivo, por ayudar a los demás, por saber escuchar, etc. Permítanme ahora llevarles al aula

de preescolar de la Sra. Leider. He observado a los alumnos participando en el aprendizaje a través de

seis estaciones. Cuatro de las estaciones estaban dirigidas por los alumnos y dos por el profesor. En 40

minutos los niños rotaron a través de actividades que involucraban mirar libros de imágenes, hacer

problemas de matemáticas con manipulativos, emparejar colores en una hoja de pavo, formas de

ingeniería con anillos de construcción, y artistas usando arena y formas. Todos los niños de preescolar

estaban atentos y participaban en las estaciones.

Estas son sólo dos instantáneas de las aulas de esta semana. Imagínese cuánto más emocionante

aprendizaje se lleva a cabo en San Esteban cada hora de cada día escolar. Estoy tan orgulloso de

nuestro personal y los estudiantes. ¡Ellos están verdaderamente dedicados a la enseñanza y el

aprendizaje!

Bendiciones,

Theresa Gunderson

MEDITACIÓN DEL EVANGELIO

28 de noviembre de 2021, 1er Domingo de Adviento

Estemos preparados o no, hoy empieza el Adviento. Y es importante que notemos los siguientes puntos importantes para una mejor participación cuando asistimos a la Eucaristía. Estrenamos el Año Litúrgico e iniciamos un período de cuatro semanas dedicadas a prepararnos para la Navidad. Durante casi todo el año, escucharemos con gozo el Evangelio escrito por San Lucas, en el cual nos presenta a un Jesús muy sensible a los necesitados y muy compasivo con los pecadores. Describe la infancia de Jesús y la presencia de María en algunas de las narraciones. En este primer domingo de Adviento, Jesús nos trae la liberación de todas nuestras ataduras. Si estamos atentos y con el corazón abierto, la Palabra de Dios tocará nuestro corazón logrando que le hagamos caso al Señor y que demos un nuevo comienzo a nuestra vida.

El papa Francisco nos da algunas pautas para levantar la mirada hacia el Señor, quien ya viene a nosotros: “En Adviento, no vivimos solamente la espera navideña, también estamos invitados a despertar la espera del glorioso regreso de Cristo. Durante estas cuatro semanas, estamos llamados a despojarnos de una forma de vida resinada y rutinaria y a salir alimentados de esperanza y sueños para un futuro mejor. Estar despiertos y orar: he aquí como vivir este tiempo desde hoy hasta la Navidad. Rezar, esperar a Jesús, abrirse a los demás, estar despiertos, no encerrados en nosotros mismos. Pero, si pensamos en la Navidad en un clima de consumismo, de ver, que puedo comprar, Jesús pasará y no lo encontraremos. Nosotros esperamos a Jesús y queremos esperarle en oración vigilante” (12-2-2018).©LPi

Las vidrieras: Un Sueño Hecho Realidad

Serie escrita por el P. Michael A. Van Sloun Pablo levanta a Eutico, Hechos 20: 7-12. San Lucas continúa con su tema de que los discípulos de Jesús deben realizar grandes y poderosas obras en su nombre. Jesús resucitó de entre los muertos a la viuda del hijo de Naín (Lc 7: 11-17, Pedro resucitó a Tabita de entre los muertos (Hechos 9: 36-42), y Pablo resucitó a Eutico de entre los muertos. Era el año 54 o 55 d.C. Pablo tenía 60 o 61 años. Estaba en su tercer viaje misionero (52-56 d. C.) y había regresado a Troas (Troya) (Hechos 20: 6). Pablo estaba predicando a un grupo que se había reunido en una sala del tercer piso. Eutico , un hombre joven, estaba sentado en el alféizar de la ventana, se hundió en un sueño profundo, cayó de la repisa al pavimento de piedra de abajo y murió (Hechos 20: 9). La escena muestra la ventana vacía arriba con la repisa donde Eutico había estado sentado, así como tres de las lámparas que estaban encendidas dentro de la habitación (Hechos 20: 8). Pablo bajó las escaleras hacia el cuerpo que yacía en la calle (Hechos 20: 10a). Pablo está vestido con su tradicional manto rojo, que tiene parcialmente se deslizó hacia su lado izquierdo, y su túnica blanca. Entonces Pablo "se echó sobre él" (Hechos 20: 10b) de una manera que se asemeja a cómo el profeta Elías se había estirado sobre él. la viuda del hijo de Sarepta (1 Reyes 17:21) y cómo el profeta Eliseo impuso al hijo de la mujer sunamita (2 Reyes 4:34), ambos muertos. Eutico está vestido de azul profundo, símbolo de la oscuridad, el luto y la tristeza, mientras yace sin vida en la calle, con la cabeza colgando, el cabello colgando y el brazo izquierdo caído. Se muestra a Paul extendido sobre el cuerpo de Eutico, con el brazo derecho debajo de él y levantándolo ligeramente. Y el niño volvió a la vida (Hechos 20: 12a) como la viuda del hijo de Naín, Tabita, la viuda del hijo de Sarepta y el hijo de la mujer sunamita. La gente fue consolada inconmensurablemente (Hechos 20: 12b) y Dios fue glorificado.
