                           nearness of the Lord Jesus. John, called the “last and greatest of the
                           prophets,” urged his followers, using the words of the prophet Isaiah,
                           words that are also echoed in our first reading from the prophet
                           Baruch:

                               Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths.

Retirement Fund for Religious
                                _______________________________________________

Next weekend, we have the privilege of taking up the annual collection to benefit the Retirement Fund
for Religious. Those who benefit from this collection served for decades with little or no pay for their
work and, in retirement, many do not receive Social Security, because they were exempt from partici-
pation. More information is included here;

                                    La aparición de Juan el Bautista en el desierto indica la cercanía del
                                    Señor Jesús. Juan, llamado el “último y más grande de los profetas”,
                                    instó a sus seguidores, usando las palabras del profeta Isaías,
                                    palabras que también se repiten en nuestra primera lectura del
                                    profeta Baruch:

                                    Preparen el camino del Señor, endereza sus sendas.
                                   Rellenen todos los valles y conviertan en llanura la región montañosa.

Juan sigue siendo una figura clave en el Adviento del 2021, invitándonos a reconocer los valles del
abandono y las montañas de exceso en nuestras vidas. Nosotros consideremos lo que no hemos hecho,
las personas a las que no nos hemos acercado, las que ignoramos en nuestras vidas: estos son los valles
que deben llenarse. Esta temporada también nos da la oportunidad de reflexionar sobre las "montañas"
de opiniones, juicios y mismos.

Mientras nos preparamos para la celebración anual del Nacimiento de Cristo, alistando el camino del
Señor en nuestras vidas, despejemos el camino para que Él pueda encontrar un hogar en nosotros,
aunque nuestro corazón descanse en Él.

                   Acerca de Nuestro Regreso a la Iglesia para las Misas
                  _________________________________________________________________________________

Ahora que hemos regresado a la iglesia para todas nuestras misas, sería bueno recordar los pasos que
hemos tomado para fomentar la salud y el bienestar de nuestra comunidad de adoración, de acuerdo
con las recomendaciones de las autoridades de salud y de la Diócesis de San José.

A mediados del 2020, instalamos filtros UV y electrostáticos en el sistema de aire acondicionado de
nuestra iglesia, tanto en la iglesia de arriba y la iglesia de abajo. Se mantienen encendidos los
ventiladores del aire acondicionado durante todo el día, todos los días, para circular la mayor cantidad
de aire fresco posible. Finalmente, a menos que la temperatura de afuera sea un problema, tratamos de
dejar algunas de las puertas abiertas durante nuestras liturgias.

También continuaremos con la limpieza de rutina y la desinfección electrostática de las bancas y otras
superficies.

Por precaución, recomendamos que las familias mantengan cierta distancia de otras familias. Siguiendo
las guías del el condado y diocesanas, seguimos requiriendo el uso de cubre bocas dentro de la iglesia,
excepto para los lectores y sacerdotes cuando proclaman la palabra o dirigen la oración o la homilía.

                       Las Mañanitas a Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe
                      _______________________________________________________________________

Las Mañanitas en celebración de la fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe el
12 de diciembre comenzarán a las 5:30 de la mañana en la Iglesia seguida
inmediatamente de la Misa. Se realizará una recepción en el salón parroquial con
pan y chocolate caliente. También habrá misa a las 12:00 del mediodía.

                                       Reflexão por: João Pereira Arruda
                                       ______________________________________________

                                    “Preparai o caminho do Senhor, endireitai suas veredas e toda a
                                    criatura verá a salvação de Deus”. Para se poder receber o
                                    Emanuel é necessário preparar-mos o nosso coração. Ele vem a nós,
                                    fazendo-se um de nós, traz-nos um plano concreto de salvação e
                                    remissão dos nossos pecados, mas devemos estar devidamente
                                    preparados para o receber e seguir-Lo com todas as consequências
que esta preparação para uma mudança de vida implica. Há uma enorme diferença na preparação para
celebrar o Deus Menino e a preparação para celebrar a festa do Natal nos centros comerciais e aderir
aos pedidos comerciais que inundam todos os meios comunicativos existentes nas sociedades de hoje.
O aderir e cooperar na alienação das sugestões do mundo comercial só nos leva a esvaziar as carteiras,
os bolsos, os cartões de crédito que depois do Natal já vazios do nosso interior e frustrados com as
contas para pagar; toda esta celebração mundana de desperdício causa-nos doença, depressão,
desilusão, e tudo isso porque na realidade a oferta do mundo é uma afronta á realidade do Natal do
Deus Menino. O Tempo do Advemto que a Igreja nos oferece é um tempo intenso de preparação de
penitência e oração. Assim como João Baptista preparava no deserto anunciando um baptismo de
penitência, assim tambem nós, aqui e agora, somos chamados a fazer uma preparação para receber o
Emanuel. Ele é o Prícipe da paz o Deus connosco e por assim ser temos que nos preparar para sermos
instrumentos de paz para sermos contribuidores na contrução de um mundo de paz, justiça e euidade
para todos. Devemo-nos preparar sermos parte integrante do plano de salvação do nosso Deus para
toda a Humanidade, e neste esforço, nesta preparação está toda a diferença entre o plano de Deus neste
Ntal para cada um de nós do que a mensagem e oferta do natal comercial que o mundo nos oferece. O
resultado também difere um do outro pois que o natal comercial causa: desperdício de vida e haveres,
desilusão e frestração e o Natal do Senhor Deus nos dá a esperança da salvação, nos dá a confiança que
obtida pelo baptismo nos faz irmãos de Cristo herdeiros do reino. Neste Tempo de Advento é um
tempo favorável para nos preparar-mos a fazermos as escolhas certas que dão mais qualidade de vida
no nosso dia a dia, e não tenham ilusões, que as escolhas certas sempre são feitas com a graça e auxílio
do Espírito Santo de Deus e por assim ser devemos estar sempre alertos a usar desse auxílio e graça
através da oração quotidiana, através do nosso modo de viver, através das nossas obras de caridade, da
nossa generosidade em oferecer os nossos dons ao bem comum da comunidade em que vivemos. É
neste espírito e plano de vida que caminhamos em direção á gruta para ver o Menino (Senhor e dono
das nossas vidas) e entregar do que temos tal qual os pastores e os magos o fizeram.
