Do It Differently This Time

Let us do something different this Advent and Christmas season. The coronavirus has taught us how vulnerable we are and how short life can be. It a wake-up call to

those who care to listen. It’s a call to a good life. What then is ‘a good life?’ “And what does the Lord require of you?”, asked Prophet Micah, “To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God” (Micah 6:8). So, during Advent, let us focus on what God requires of us. Let us just worry less and free ourselves from the philosophy that says, ‘you MUST buy to feel good.’ Rather, focus on two gifts this year – one to Jesus and the other to yourself. To Jesus give your heart and to yourself a gift of God’s love. In other words, allow yourself to receive the gift of God’s love.

Like Lent, Advent is an annual church retreat. It is a period of special journey, a period of spiritual preparation to reenact the birth of Christ. To reenact means to relive the mystical

experience of the incarnation. Advent and Christmas allow us to ponder the love that compelled God to become man. A love that made God do what the world considers foolish.

“The person

without

the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit” 1 Cor 2:14. Thus, all the key players in that Divine comedy were spiritually ready including Mary, Joseph, Elizabeth, Zachariah, baby John, the shepherds, the Magi, Simeon and Anna. They were spiritually alert, hungry and thirsty. Mary says it best: “He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty” Lk 1:53.

So during this Advent, let us be among the hungry. Let us treat it as a period of personal retreat – a one-month retreat.

Remember, during this month you are giving out only two gifts, one to Jesus and one to yourself. Here is what it means to give your heart to Jesus. From today, give Jesus your quality time and attention, not your leftover time. Spend an ample amount of time praying everyday. Everyday, ask Jesus to come into your heart. Attend Mass more than once a week.

Here is what it means to give yourself a gift of God’s love. Allow God to show you mercy and love. Ask for His forgiveness – go to confession. Allow God to speak to you – read the bible, a good spiritual book and/or listen to the word of God. Practice the corporal works of mercy. If you do these things, you will experience God’s overwhelming goodness.

Hágalo Diferente esta vez

Hagamos algo diferente esta temporada de la Navidad y Advenimiento. El coronavirus nos ha enseñado lo vulnerables que somos y lo corta que puede ser la vida. Es una llamada de atención a aquellos que quieren escuchar. Es una llamada a una buena vida. ¿Qué es

entonces 'una buena vida?' El profeta Miquieas la Buena vida asi, “lo que el Señor exige de ti, ser mortal: tan sólo respetar el derecho, practicar con amor la misericordia y caminar humildemente con tu Dios” (Miqueas 6:8).

Ası́ que,

durante el Adviento, enfocarnos en lo que Dios

requiere de nosotros. Hay que negarnos a la obligación de la cultura que dice: "tienes que comprar para sentirse bien." Al contrario, dé sólo dos regalos este año – uno a Jesús y otro a usted mismo. A Jesús dele su corazón y a usted mismo regálese el amor de Dios. En otras palabras, permítase recibir el regalo del amor de Dios.

Realistamente, como Cuaresma, el Advenimiento es un retiro anual en la iglesia. Es una jornada especial, un período de preparación, espiritual para decretar de nuevo el nacimiento de Cristo. Decretar de nuevo el significado de volver a vivir la experiencia mística de la encarnación. El advenimiento y Navidad permite que nosotros consideremos el amor que obligó a Dios a hacerse el hombre. Un amor que hizo a Dios hacer lo que el mundo considera tonto. “El que no tiene el Espíritu no acepta lo que procede del Espíritu de Dios, pues para él es locura. No puede entenderlo, porque hay que discernirlo espiritualmente.” 1 Cor 2:14. Así, los principales protagonistas de esta comedia divina fueron espiritualmente listos incluyendo a María, José, Isabel, Zacarías, el bebé Juan, los pastores, los Magos, Simeón y Ana. Fueron espiritualmente alerta, hambre y sed. María lo dice mejor: “A los hambrientos los colmó de bienes, y a los ricos los despidió con las manos vacías” Lucas 1:53.

Así que durante este Adviento, seamos parte de los

hambrientos. Trátenoslo como un período de retiro personal – un retiro de un mes. Recuerde, durante este mes dará sólo dos regalos, uno a Jesús y el otro a usted mismo. Aquí está lo que significa dar su corazón a Jesús. De hoy en delante, dé a Jesús calidad de tiempo y atención, no el tiempo que le sobra. Pase amplia cantidad de tiempo rezando diariamente. Todos los días, pídale a Jesús que entre en su corazón. Asista a la misa más de una vez por semana.

Aquí está lo que significa darse un regalo del amor de Dios. Permita que Dios le muestre la piedad y el amor. Pida Su perdón – vaya a confesión. Permita que Dios le hable a usted – lea la Biblia, un libro espiritual bueno y/o escuche la palabra de Dios. Practique los trabajos corporales de la piedad. Si hace estas cosas, experimentará la bondad y las maravillas de Dios.

I recently ran into a former teen of mine out and about who is in their mid 20’s now. We got to talking and catching up and at one point this individual mentioned to me how much they loved Confirmation and Youth Group and how much they miss it. I asked them why they didn’t continue on as a leader or at least continue coming on their own and they told me that they didn’t have time for it. They told me about their classes, sports, family, extra curricular activities and all the crazy things that the average teen has. This individual went on to tell me that their faith is really good right now though because they are going to mission church and recently for baptized. I must have made a face because my former teen asked me what was wrong and I informed her that she was already baptized and no matter what she will always be a baptized Catholic because it leaves an indelible mark on their soul. They said that they knew and said they sometimes comes to mass so they're both. We talked for a while longer about faith, I invited her back to ministry and we went our separate ways. This week we are talking with our year 2 teens about baptism and what that means for us Catholics whether it is our own baptism or baptism of other being a witness or even a Godparent.

Hace poco me encontré con un joven antiguo que está en la mitad de sus 20 años. Nos pusimos a hablar y a ponernos al día y en un momento dado este individuo me mencionó lo mucho que les gustaba la clase de Confirmación y el Grupo Juvenil y lo mucho que lo extrañan. Les pregunté por qué no continuaron como líderes o al menos seguir viniendo por su cuenta y me dijeron que no tenían tiempo para ello. Me hablaron de sus clases, deportes, familia, actividades extra curriculares y todas las locuras que tiene un adolescente común. Este individuo me dijo que su fe es muy buena en este momento porque van a la iglesia de la misión y recientemente fue bautizada. Debí haber puesto una cara porque mi antiguo alumno me preguntó qué pasaba y le informé que ya estaba bautizada y que no importaba que siempre sería católica bautizada porque eso dejó una marca indeleble en su alma. Hablamos un rato más sobre la fe, y les invité a volver al ministerio y seguimos nuestros caminos separados. Esta semana estamos hablando con nuestros adolescentes de segundo año sobre el bautismo y lo que significa para nosotros los católicos, ya sea nuestro propio bautismo o el de otro, ser un testigo o incluso un padrino.

MARK’S JESUS

Mark’s Gospel is the shortest and tersest of all four. The discourses of Jesus tend to be terser as well. Mark’s portrayal of Jesus has none of the poetry of the Sermon on the Mount or the Sermon on the Plain as in Matthew or Luke, nor the extensive, reflective “I Am” discourses as in John. Mark’s Jesus “cuts to the chase,” we would say today. This is reflected quite well in today’s passage.

It is no accident that the dialogue of Jesus at this point in the Gospel according to Mark—the concluding words about the end of the world—immediately before his passion, is riddled with exclamation points and an overall sense of urgency.

We would do well to re-tool our own way of living this Advent, for we live in a world urgently in need of hearing the message of Jesus proclaimed. It’s time for us to “wake up!” and get out into the world to do it.

TODAY’S READINGS

First Reading — We are the clay and you, O Lord, are the potter: we are the work of your hands

(Isaiah 63:16b-17, 19b; 64:2-7).

Psalm — Lord, make us turn to you; let us see your face and we shall be saved (Psalm 80).

Second Reading — God is faithful; by God you were called to fellowship with the Son (1 Corinthians 1:3-9). Gospel — Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come. (Mark 13:33-37).

READINGS FOR THE WEEK

Monday: Rom 10:9-18; Ps 19:8-11; Mt 4:18-22 Tuesday: Is 11:1-10; Ps 72:1-2, 7-8, 12-13, 17; Lk 10:21-24 Wednesday: Is 25:6-10a; Ps 23:1-6; Mt 15:29-37 Thursday: Is 26:1-6; Ps 118:1, 8-9, 19-21, 25-27a; Mt 7:21, 24-27 Friday: Is 29:17-24; Ps 27:1, 4, 13-14; Mt 9:27-31 Saturday: Is 30:19-21, 23-26; Ps 147:1-6; Mt 9:35 — 10:1, 5a, 6-8 Sunday: Is 40:1-5, 9-11; Ps 85:9-14; 2 Pt 3:8-14; Mk 1:1-8

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 urgente de escuchar el mensaje que Jesús proclamó. Es hora de que nos “despertemos” y salgamos al mundo para hacerlo.

LECTURAS DE HOY

Primera lectura — Isaías ruega por el retorno del Señor (Isaías 63:16-17, 19; 64:2-7).

Salmo — Señor, Dios nuestro, restáuranos que brille tu rostro y nos salve (Salmo 80 [79]).

Segunda lectura — Pablo está agradecido por las bendi-ciones que los corintios han recibido debido a su fe en Jesús (1 Corintios 1:3-9).

Evangelio — Jesús dice a los discípulos que estén siem-pre alerta a la llegada del tiempo designado

(Marcos 13:33-37).

LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA

Lunes: Rom 10:9-18; Sal 19 (18):8-11; Mt 4:18-22 Martes: Is 11:1-10; Sal 72 (71):1-2, 7-8, 12-13, 17;

Lc 10:21-24

Miércoles: Is 25:6-10a; Sal 23 (22):1-6; Mt 15:29-37 Jueves: Is 26:1-6; Sal 118 (117):1, 8-9, 19-21, 25-27a; Mt 7:21, 24-27 Viernes: Is 29:17-24; Sal 27 (26):1, 4, 13-14; Mt 9:27-31 Sábado: Is 30:19-21, 23-26; Sal 147 (146):1-6; Mt 9:35 — 10:1, 5a, 6-8 Domingo: Is 40:1-5, 9-11; Sal 85 (84):9-14; 2 Pt 3:8-14; Mc 1:1-8

DID YOU KNOW?

The devastating effects of verbal abuse

A study by Florida State University

found that children who were verbally

abused are more likely to experience

depression and anxiety. They are also

twice as likely to suffer with mood

and anxiety disorders throughout their

lifetime. Children who suffer such

abuse can go on to repeat the same parenting styles

they experienced thereby continuing the cycle of

abuse. Pay attention to the language you and others

use with your children. Breaking the chain of

negative behaviors starts with positive, healthy

parent-child relationships. For a copy of the

VIRTUS article “The Devastating Effects of Verbal

Abuse,” visit

¿SABÍA ?

Los efectos devastadores del abuso verbal

Un estudio de la Universidad Estatal de la Florida encontró que los niños que fueron abusados verbalmente tienden a experimentar más depresión y ansiedad. Además, son más propensos a sufrir desórdenes de temperamento y ansiedad a lo largo de su vida. Los niños que sufren de abuso pueden repetir los mismos estilos de paternidad que ellos experimentaron, continuando con el mismo ciclo de abuso. Preste atención al lenguaje que usted y otros usan con sus hijos. Romper la cadena de conductas negativas comienza con relaciones padres-hijos positivas y

saludables. Para una copia del artículo de VIRTUS “The Devastating Effects of Verbal Abuse” (Los efectos devastadores del abuso verbal) visite

WHY IS IT

A man wakes up after sleeping under an ADVERTISED blanket on an ADVERTISED mattress and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas

bathes in an ADVERTISED shower shaves with an ADVERTISED razor

brushes his teeth with ADVERTISED toothpaste washes with ADVERTISED soap

puts on ADVERTISED clothes drinks a cup of ADVERTISED coffee drives to work in an ADVERTISED car and then . . . . refuses to ADVERTISE believing it doesn’t pay. Later if business is poor he ADVERTISES it for sale.
