Fourth Sunday of Advent
December 19, 2021
O Lord of hosts, look down from heaven and see;
take care of this vine,and protect what your right hand
has planted. — Psalm 80:15–16
A Message from Father Ethan
In Filipino cuisine, there is a dessert called Halo-halo which means “mix-mix” in Tagalog. While there are many possible varia ons, this layered dessert essen ally
consists of shaved ice, evaporated milk, ube ice cream, and a variety of mix-ins such as sweetened red beans and white beans, coconut akes, gela ns, fresh fruits,
and an. The result of this “mix-mix” is one that features many contras ng textures, from chewy to crunchy, creamy to s cky as well as many di erent avors, all
rolled into one! I love this dessert because it is truly an adventure – an adventured best enjoyed with a long-handled spoon, so we can be sure to reach everything
and to keep mixing and swirling!!
Halo-halo reminds me of our humanity and our life here in the parish as the family of God. We are o en a “mix-mix”. Last week, on December 12th, we as a parish
celebrated the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe. Our Blessed Mother Mary, in this appari on and under this tle, appears to us as a mes za woman, or someone
with a combined European and Indigenous American ancestry. Pope Francis recently commented on this feature of the appari on by sta ng that “she wanted to be
seen as a mes za, a mixed race not only with Juan Diego or with the people. She became mixed to show she’s the mother of everyone. She was mixed with
humanity. Why? Because she was mixed with God. That is the great mystery. Mother Mary mixed with God, true God and true man, her Son.”
Our celebra on at the parish was most de nitely a “mix-mix”, one that Mother Mary must have certainly enjoyed!! A er the 9am Mass, we were led to the plaza by
a mix of 120 dancers, young and old, and of all cultures to con nue the celebra on! The plaza was lled with a mix of parishioners eager to watch the dancers and
to listen to the music. Soon the dances gave way to a Living Rosary as our Family Faith Forma on truly lived this liturgical experience. The celebra on con nued on
through the 11am Mass, coming to a beau ful culmina on at the 1pm Mass which featured mariachis and a beau ful presenta on of owers to our Blessed Mother
Mary. Hot chocolate, fresh avored waters, sweet bread, and tamales o ered refreshment and a joyful treat throughout the whole day!
As I write this message, I am looking

In the mix of God’s love with you all,
