Spiritual Communion My Jesus,

I believe that You are present in the Most Holy Sacrament. I love You above all things,

and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot at this moment receive

You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart.

I embrace You as if You were already there and unite myself wholly to You.

Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

Comunión Espiritual Creo, Jesús mío,

que estáis realmente presente en el Santísimo Sacramento del Altar. Os amo sobre todas las cosas y deseo recibiros

en mi alma. Pero como ahora no puedo recibiros sacramentado, venid a lo menos espiritualmente a mi corazón. Y como si ya os hubiese recibido,

os abrazo y me uno del todo a Ti. Señor, no permitas que jamás me aparte de Ti.

Amén.

FEAST OF FAITH What Is the Mass?

What is the Mass? There is no simple answer to that question. The Church uses many different images and terms to describe our most important prayer. The Mass is the celebration of the Eucharist, a Greek word that means “thanksgiving.” It is the Lord’s Supper. It is the Breaking of the Bread. It is the memorial of the Lord’s passion, death, and resurrection. It is the Holy Sacrifice, in which the

sacrifice of Christ on the cross is perpetuated. It is the holy and divine liturgy, the sacred mysteries. It is the source and summit of our Christian lives, the new covenant, the work of the Holy Spirit, the paschal mystery. The many different words and images that we use when we speak of the Mass are not signs of confusion, but of wonder at what the Catechism of the Catholic Church (1328) calls the “inexhaustible richness” of the Eucharist. The Mass, our greatest prayer and our deepest mystery, is celebrated every day, many times a day, the world over. The Eucharist is both “bread from heaven” and “daily bread.” The Mass is our everyday miracle. —Corinna Laughlin, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Prayers for Our Military Troops

Perhaps you, too, love a service member. Or maybe, because you’ve served in the past or know someone

who has, you understand the sacrifices these men and women make to guard our safety and preserve our freedom. We invite you to join us as we pray for

the men and women who serve.

Almighty and eternal God, those who take refuge in you will be glad and forever will shout for joy.

Protect these soldiers as they discharge their duties. Protect them with the shield of your strength and keep them safe from all evil and harm. May the

power of your love enable them to return home in safety, that with all who love them, they may ever

praise you for your loving care. We ask this through Christ our Lord. Amen.

FIESTA DE LA FE Iglesia Peregrina

Nuestra participación en la Misa requiere que peregrinemos desde el hogar hasta la igle-sia parroquial. Realmente nuestra preparación comienza en casa, desde que nos disponemos a la participación y emprendemos la peregri-nación. Esto nos recuerda que la Iglesia, en

esencia, es peregrina y que sigue esperando la venida del Emmanuel, no sólo del Dios que

nace entre nosotros, sino del Dios que, en la persona de Cristo, vendrá de nuevo, de Jesús,

cuyo nombre significa: Dios salva. Aunque caminamos y nos desplazamos a muchos

lugares, esta peregrinación es particularmente significativa porque nos reunimos con un mis-mo fin, celebrar el misterio pascual de Cristo:

su pasión, muerte y resurrección. El con-gregarnos en la casa de la Iglesia, haciendo a un lado nuestras diferencias naturales, para hacernos una voz, un solo pan y un solo cáliz reafirma la posibilidad de caminar juntos ha-cia Dios, de unir nuestra alabanza, de alimen-tarnos para el viaje y de celebrar por adelan-tado el Reino de Dios anunciado por Jesús. Por eso es que caminamos con un fin, un fin que puede ir más allá de nuestra propia visión, si se quiere, pero que en la perspectiva de Dios, es tan concreto y tan veraz, como el pueblo

que se reúne y camina con alegría a la casa de la Iglesia. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

EL JESÚS DE SAN MARCOS

El Evangelio según San Marcos es el más corto y terso de los cuatro. Los discursos de

Jesús tienden a ser concisos también. El retrato de Jesús que nos da Marcos no tiene nada de la poesía del Sermón del

Monte o del Sermón de la Llanura como en Mateo ni Lucas, ni la extensión y reflexión

de los “Yo Soy” los discursos en Juan. El Jesús de Marcos “va al grano”, diríamos hoy. Esto se refleja muy

bien en el pasaje de hoy. No es una casualidad que el diálogo de Jesús en este momento en el Evangelio

según San Marcos, las palabras finales sobre el fin del mundo, inmediatamente antes de

su pasión, esté plagado de signos de exclamación y una sensación general

de urgencia. Haríamos bien en remodelar nuestra manera de vivir este Adviento, ya

que vivimos en un mundo con necesidad ur-gente de escuchar el mensaje que Jesús pro-clamó. Es hora de que nos “despertemos” y

salgamos al mundo para hacerlo. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Unang Pagbasa - Kami ang luwad at ikaw, Oh Panginoon, ang magpapalyok: kami ang gawa ng iyong mga kamay (Isaias 63: 16b-17, 19b; 64: 2-7). Awit - Panginoon, ibalik mo kami sa iyo; tingnan mo ang iyong mukha at kami ay maliligtas (Awit 80). Pangalawang Pagbasa - Ang Diyos ay tapat; ng Diyos ikaw ay tinawag upang makisama sa Anak (1 Corinto 1: 3-9). Ebanghelyo - Maging maingat! Maging alerto! Hindi mo alam kung kailan darating ang oras. (Marcos 13: 33-37).

MGA PAGBASA SA MGA ARAW NG LINGGO

Nobyembre 29, 2020 Unang Linggo ng Adbiyento

agad na nauuna sa ulat ni Marcos tungkol sa Pasyon ni Jesus. Nang paulit-ulit na tinanong ng mga eskriba at Pariseo, si Jesus ay tinanong ngayon ng kanyang mga alagad — sina Pedro, Santiago, Juan, at Andres — na nais ang mga

detalye tungkol sa kanyang hula sa pagkawasak ng Templo. Sumasagot si Jesus ng maraming babala tungkol sa mga paghihirap na kaka-

harapin ng mga alagad. Ang daanan ngayon ay dumating sa pagtatapos ng mga babala ni He-sus sa kanyang mga alagad. Binigyang diin ni

Jesus ang pangangailangan ng pagiging mapagbantay. Ang Anak ng Tao ay darating nang walang babala; ang Ama lamang ang nakakaalam ng eksaktong oras. Ang mga

disipulo ay hindi dapat mahuli na hindi handa pagdating ng oras na ito. Naniniwala ang mga

iskolar na ang Ebanghelyo ni Marcos ay isinulat noong panahon ng pagkasira ng Jerusalem ng mga Romano noong A.D. 70. Ang tagapakinig ni Marcos ay binubuo ng mga Kristiyano na

namumuhay sa mahirap na mga oras ng pan-lipunan at pampulitika, mga oras ng hidwaan. Malamang na nagsisimula silang harapin ang pag-uusig bilang mga tagasunod ni Jesus. Sa

mahirap na panahong ito, nakatulong ito upang alalahanin na hinulaan ni Jesus ang

gayong mga paghihirap. Ang mga unang pa-mayanang Kristiyano ay kumuha ng lakas ng loob mula sa babala ni Hesus na manatiling

alerto at mapagbantay, at nakita nila sa kanyang mga salita ang isang paraan upang magtiyaga sa pamamagitan ng pagdurusa.

Ipinaaalala sa atin ng Ebanghelyo ngayon na ang Adbiyento ay higit pa sa ating paghahanda para sa pagdiriwang ng Simbahan ng kapan-

ganakan ni Cristo sa Pasko. Ang Advent ay tungkol din sa paghahanda ng ating sarili para

sa pagbabalik ni Kristo sa kaluwalhatian sa pagtatapos ng panahon. Tulad ng mga disipulo

at tapat sa pamayanan ni Marcos, dapat din tayong manatiling alerto at mapagbantay. Ang aming katapatan sa Diyos, sa pamamagitan ng

magagandang panahon pati na rin ang mga mahirap na panahon, ay nagpapakita sa atin na

maging handa para sa pagdating ng Anak ng Tao.

Background sa Pagbasa ng Ebanghelyo Ngayon ay sinisimulan natin ang panahon ng Adbiyento, na nagsisilbing panimula ng isang bagong taon ng liturhiko para sa Iglesya. Ang

mga pagbasa para sa Linggo ng Misa ay nakaayos sa isang tatlong-taong cycle. Nag-

tatampok ang bawat taon ng iba't ibang Ebanghelyo — Mateo, Marcos, o Lukas. Ang mga pagbabasa mula sa Ebanghelyo ni Juan ay nagkalat sa buong tatlong taon. Sa unang Linggo ng Advent ng taong ito, sinisimulan

namin ang Siklo B ng Lectionary, na nakatu-on ang aming pansin sa Ebanghelyo ni Mar-cos. Sa linggong ito at sa susunod na linggo, ang aming mga pagbasa mula sa Ebanghelyo ni Marcos ay nagpapakita ng dalawang maha-

halagang tema ng Adbiyento: ang pagbabalik ng Panginoon sa pagtatapos ng oras at ang pa-

ghahanda ni Juan Bautista para kay Jesus. Ang Ebanghelyo ngayon ay kinuha mula sa pagtata-pos ng Ebanghelyo ni Marcos, ang kabanata na

many inquirers year a er year, it is the fruit of the Holy Spirit as parish members open their hearts to

Preparing your family to celebrate Mass MASS TRANSIT CARD November 29, 2020

1st Sunday in Advent Isaiah 63:16b-17, 19b; 64:2-7 • 1 Corinthians 1:3-9 • Mark 13:33-37

“What I say to you I say to all: ‘Watch!’” —Mark 13:37

Whenever something exciting is coming in our lives, we wait for it with great anticipation. If it is a birthday or a

holiday, there is a lot to do to prepare for it. We put all our energy into the

preparations without hesitation because we know how much fun it will be when

the day comes. Today’s scripture reminds us to prepare ourselves with this same excitement and anticipation for Christ’s coming. Since it is the season of Advent,

we are preparing to celebrate Christ’s birth. But we are also called to be

prepared every day of our lives. Jesus wants us to be ready to meet him any

day, any time, anywhere.

Dear Lord, show me how I can best prepare my heart and mind to meet you whenever

you come. An Advent wreath helps us count the four

weeks of preparation for Christ’s birth. Does your family have an Advent wreath or another

Advent tradi on that helps you?

Questions to discuss after Mass…. What color were the priest’s vestments

What was one new insight the homily gave you? Was there something special you noticed at Mass today?

PARTNERS IN FAITH Open the gi s of Advent

It’s hard to compete with the breathless excitement of Christmas but Advent has a beauty all its own. When fami-lies step out of the busy pace of life during Advent, the Christmas celebration at the end becomes all the more heartfelt. Create rituals. Life is to be different during Advent – quiet-er, more reflective – and rituals can help. Light a candle every day in an Advent wreath. Gather to read some of the Nativity story (Luke 1:5-2:40), drawing it out until Christmas. For an hour each night, turn off the lights in your home and work by candle light. Make small sacrifices. The holidays can herald a season of excess. Instead, create a “Sacrifice Stocking” for Jesus. Encourage each child to make small sacrifices – foregoing dessert, performing an unasked chore, befriending a lonely classmate. Write each sacrifice on a slip of paper and place it in a Christmas stocking in the four weeks before Advent. On Christmas morning, read each “gift” in the stocking offered to the Babe as the first gifts of Christmas. Let music make the mood. The right music can help create a quiet mood during the season. Pick a time each day to play only spiritual and religious carols. Choose songs that tell of God’s love for us. Or, make up new words to your old favorites.

A Great Tradi on for Kids! Making Small Sacrifices for the Baby Jesus During Advent Advent is known as “little Lent,” and prayer, alms, and sacri ces are an important part of the liturgical season as we prepare for the coming of Christ. To help children participate in the true purpose of Advent (rather than the temptation to treat it sel shly as a countdown to getting their presents on Christmas day), a visual teaching aid can be very helpful.

One of the popular ways to help children understand the meaning of Christmas is to encourage them to thoughtfully make small offerings for the Baby Jesus throughout the days and weeks of Advent. These offerings can be a small sacri ce, a good deed, a kind word, or a prayer.

Join in this tradition using the Baby Jesus gure either from your nativity set (which may be a little too small depending on the size) or opt for a larger solitary nativity creche with a Baby Jesus gure that you can nd here. Place the creche in a prominent place in the home, perhaps next to your Advent wreath, and encourage children to make their spiritual gifts out of love for the Baby Jesus each day leading up to Christmas. For each small sacri ce or good deed done by a child during Advent, a piece of straw (or something that comparable that you can purchase at a craft store) is added into the manger or creche. On Christmas day the Baby Jesus gure is placed inside the creche, and the prayers and sacri ces symbolized by the pieces of straw have added up to prepare a comfortable place for him to rest, just like Mary and Joseph prepared for him in the manger at Bethlehem by Gretchen Filz, November 1, 2016
