ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL CATHOLIC CHURCH

PRAYER TO ST MICHAEL: Saint Michael Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil; may God rebuke him, we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the heavenly host, by the power of God, cast into hell Satan and all the evil spirits who prowl through the worlseeking the ruin of souls. Amen

San Miguel Arcángel, defiéndenos en la lucha. Sé nuestro amparo contra la perversidad y asechanzas del demonio. Que Dios manifieste sobre él su poder, es nuestra humilde súplica. Y tú, oh Príncipe de la Milicia Celestial, con el poder que Dios te ha conferido, arroja al infierno a Satanás, y a los demás espíritus malignos que vagan por el mundo para la perdición de las almas. Amén.

EARTH-MOVINGTransforming the human landscape, like the task of smoothing the desert hills and valleys, is an enormous undertaking,

truly the work of God. Yet God looks for partners in this transformation. John the Baptist, and Jesus afterward, called followers to participate in God’s work, and to begin with repentance. We the Church respond to this call today, and acknowledge our ongoing need for God’s mercy and forgiveness. Our Advent preparation for Christmas includes opening our hearts to God’s forgiveness, so that Jesus might come to take residence there.

We join in God’s earth-moving project by repenting of how we block God’s path with resentments and fears. When we are brought low in our lives, we seek God’s help, and God will enlist the help of others. When we realize that we reside on mountains of advantage or privilege that place others in valleys, we are to repent and to change how we live. When we bring healing and justice to others, we are sharing in God’s earth-shaking work, and preparing a straight pathway for our God.

EUCHARISTIC PRAYER ACCLAMATIONS

Magnificat (Ang Puso Ko’y Nagpupuri) Eduardo P. Hontiveros, SJ

1. He has looked with favor on me, on his lowly and pitiful servant. From this day forth all nations shall proclaim the blessed one.

2. The Almighty has done wondrous deeds, and his Name is all-holy forever. His mercy comes to all who fear him and worship his might and his love.

3. He has shown the strength of his arm; he has scattered the proud in their madness. The mighty ones he has dethroned and the lowly he raises on high.

Prayer of Faithful StewardsAlmighty God, we give you

thanks for the inspiration of your Holy Spirit as we reflect on the gospel call to exercise Christ’s

stewardship on our journey of faith.We ask you to guide us in our discernment and

show us how to be faithful in the plans we make, the actions we take, and the love we share on our pilgrim way.

Heavenly Father, give us the courage to find wisdom in our sacrifices, joy in our generosity and hope in the compassion we show, especially to those most in need of your comfort and care.Lord, create in us a more open heart and a

greater awareness of our need to grow, to change, to be transformed, so that we may be better stewards of your gifts for the good of all. AMEN.

Oración de Corresponsabilidad para los Fieles Dios Todopoderoso, te damos gracias por la

inspiración de tu Espíritu Santo al reflexionar sobre el llamado del evangelio y poder ejercer en Cristo una buena administración de los bienes encomendados en nuestro camino de fe.

Padre celestial, danos el ánimo para encontrar sabiduría en nuestros sacrificios, alegría en nuestra generosidad y esperanza en la compasión que mostramos, especialmente por aquellos que necesitan más cuidado y ser más confortados.

Señor, crea en nosotros un corazón más abierto y una mayor conciencia de nuestra necesidad de crecer, de cambiar, de ser transformados, para que podamos ser mejores administradores de tus dones para el bien de todos. AMÉN.

HEIGHTS AND DEPTHSJohn the Baptist preached from the desert. The

desert not far from Jerusalem is extremely rugged, where steep hills and deep valleys are common across a barren landscape. When John quoted Isaiah in today’s Gospel, this rough terrain stirred the imagination of John’s listeners. John proclaimed that these hills and valleys are to be made level, to provide a smooth path for God to enter.

John’s listeners recognized that the height of hills and the depth of valleys are similar to human attitudes and relationships: heights of personal pride and depths of discouragement and fear. Hills and valleys evoked how people treat each other, with some people raised high and others brought low. They suggested how social structures embody and harden these tendencies with large-scale systems of military, political, or economic oppression. John proclaimed that God was about to alter this social landscape through the work of Jesus.

STEWARDSHIP QUOTES“We make a living by what we get, we make a life by what we give.” Winston Churchill

“God has given us two hands, one to receive with and the other to give with. We are not cisterns made for hoarding; we are channels made for giving.”Billy Graham

ST. MICHAEL THE ARCHANGEL CATHOLIC CHURCHAWAITING THE SALVATION OF GOD

The world does not seem big enough to contain the jubilation of the first reading. In the Gospel reading, the Roman empire isn’t big enough, either. The great powers of Rome are named and made to stand waiting for the arrival of God’s salvation. And we find Paul meditating joyfully on what really matters.

According to Baruch, the city of Jerusalem is like a person standing on tiptoe looking for God’s salvation, which is coming from the east. Those who were led away on foot, heads down, now come back, a proud people. Why, the very way is smoothed out. The path is lined with fragrant, lush trees.

It can’t get any better than this, can it? Well, yes, it can. For a voice calls out in the desert. Here is the beginning of the salvation of God.

TODAY’S READINGSFirst Reading — Take off your robe of mourning and misery; put on the splendor of glory from God (Baruch 5:1-9).Psalm — The Lord has done great things for us; we are filled with joy (Psalm 126).Second Reading — I am confident that the one who began a good work in you will continue to complete it until the day of Christ Jesus (Philippians 1:4-6, 8-11).Gospel — The winding roads shall be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth (Luke 3:1-6).

A LA ESPERA DE LA SALVACIÓN DE DIOSEl mundo no parece tan grande como para contener

el alborozo que causa la primera lectura. En la lectura del Evangelio, el Imperio Romano tampoco es lo suficientemente grande. Los grandes poderes de Roma se designan y se hacen esperar por la salvación de Dios. Y encontramos a Pablo que medita gozosamente en lo que importa, en lo que realmente cuenta.

De acuerdo con Baruc, la ciudad de Jerusalén es como una persona que en puntillas espera la salvación de Dios, que viene del Este. Los que fueron llevados a pie, con la cabeza gacha, regresan ahora orgullosos. Todo el camino está pavimentado. Al lado del camino hay árboles fragantes y frondosos.

No puede haber algo mejor que eso, ¿no es así? Bueno, sí puede haber algo mejor. Porque una voz grita en el desierto. Aquí comienza la salvación de Dios.

LECTURAS DE HOYPrimera lectura — Sube a la altura, Jerusalén; contempla a tus hijos gozosos porque Dios se acordó de ellos (Baruc 5:1-9).Salmo — Grandes cosas has hecho por nosotros, Señor (Salmo 126 [125]).Segunda Lectura — Que su amor siga creciendo más y más y se traduzca en un mayor conocimiento y discernimiento (Filipenses 1:4-6, 8-11).Evangelio — Juan proclama un bautismo de arrepentimiento para el perdón de los pecados (Lucas 3:1-6).

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITIONLook around most Catholic churches, and you will

discover an image of John the Baptist, often in the old baptistery, or in a window near where the font is or was located. He has two feast days in the calendar: one commemorating his birth, and the other his death. There are only three nativities in our calendar: for Jesus, for Mary, and for the Baptist. John’s birthday is reckoned according to the schedule given in Luke’s Gospel of the angel’s announcement to Mary. The angel tells her that her cousin Elizabeth is in the sixth month of pregnancy, and so Mary hastens to help her. Reckoning Christmas as December 25, we count backwards nine months to March 25 for the Feast of the Annunciation. Then we count forward three months to June 24 for John the Baptist’s birth. Halfway to Christmas, his nativity gives ample reason for rejoicing in the summer, and his symbols of fire and water are used playfully in bonfires and dives into the sea. Even at the polar opposite of Christmas in the calendar, the energy of Christ’s birth in the Incarnation provides cause for rejoicing.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FEEn 1726, Juan de la Cruz (1542-1591) fue canonizado

por el Papa Benito XIII. Nació en la región de Castilla en España, este doctor de la Iglesia junto con Teresa de Ávila fue reformador de la Orden Carmelita. Muchas órdenes religiosas del siglo XV sufrieron grandes decadencias. Por eso mientras los protestantes se separaban de la Iglesia, los religiosos descalzos, recoletos y observantes buscaban reformar órdenes religiosas, como la Orden de la Bienaventurada Virgen María del Monte Carmelo, uniéndose siempre más a la Iglesia romana.

Para los reformadores católicos quedarse en la Iglesia no fue fácil, ¡sin embargo se quedaron! Aunque sus reformas fueron apoyadas por los Papas, muchos de ellos como Juan de la Cruz tuvieron que aguantar muchas oposiciones y persecuciones para lograr sus reformas. Estas reformas ardían con el deseo de amar bien a Cristo Jesús y a su cuerpo que es la Iglesia.

En sus poesías, Juan de la Cruz muestra la fuerza de esta llama de amor vivo a pesar de la oscuridad de la noche que no lo deja encontrar al amante (Dios).

LO QUE FALTAUno nunca se da cuenta de lo que ya hizo; sólo se

fija en lo que falta por hacer.—Marie Curie

REPENTANCEWhen John proclaimed a baptism of repentance, as today’s

Gospel relates, he called people to a deep change of heart. For John the Baptist, repentance was not simply regret for past failings, but a commitment to orient life around God’s desires and purposes. What might living in alignment with God’s desires look like? Our readings offer some clues. Baruch indicates that when mercy and justice are embraced like a royal garment, we may see the fruits of repentance. Paul notes how the Holy Spirit has been active within the church in Philippi, forming them to live in a loving and united community of faith, so they may witness to the love of God. And John himself suggests that a repentant heart clears a path for God to enter, leveling the mountains and valleys of our resistance, so that God might dwell within.
