May the peace and hope of Christ’s Birth with you now and in the days ahead…

¡El Rey David quiere construir un hogar para Dios! El primero había construido su propio palacio y luego se dio cuenta de que no había construido un espacio para Dios: un lugar de adoración y comunión familiar. Es admirable que David quiera retri-buir, pero ¿tenemos que cuidar a Dios o, más bien, es Dios quien se preocupa por nosotros? Obviamente, Dios no necesita a David para construirle una casa. El mundo entero es suyo. ¿No edificó Dios a David todo el tiempo, llevándolo a un lugar donde podría considerar ofrecerle a Dios algo a cambio? Es como niños que quieren darles un regalo a sus padres. Primero le piden dinero a un padre o una idea de regalo. Por su propia cuenta, no pueden dar. Dios le da la vuelta a David, diciendo que Dios edificará una casa para David, un linaje eterno para gobernar sobre la gente. Dios construirá algo mucho más grande que cualquier cosa que David haya soñado alguna vez. Él construirá a David un reino que se convertirá en una nación y dará a luz a una Iglesia universal en todo el mundo. En la pintura, María se para en frente a una casa ornamentada. Ella se para como nosotros en la entrada, dando la bien-venida a la venida de Dios. Fue que se permitió que el maestro de obras entrara en nuestro mundo para comenzar a construir esta casa, que se convirtió en Iglesia. Como María, esperamos a Jesús. Con ella, digámosle sí, ¡celebrando a aquel que ha establecido esa casa en la que celebramos hoy!

December 24, 2017Fourth Sunday of Advent (B)2 Sm 7:1–5, 8b–12, 14a, 16Rom 16:25–27Lk 1:26–38

Piece: The Annunciation With City by the Sea, circa 1530Artist: Marco PalmezzanoLocation: Vatican Museums

The Lord also declares to you that the Lord will make a house for you.(2 Samuel 7:11)

For Reflection God wants to give me more than I ever dreamed of. Is giving myself to him in prayer a way to let him accomplish that dream in me? How can I offer hospitality in my heart, my home, my work and my Church so that others can encounter God’s love?

Extreme Makeover: Home Edition

King David wants to build God a home! He had first built his own palace and afterward realized that he hadn’t built a space for God—a place of worship and family communion.

It is admirable that David wants to give back, but do we have to take care of God or, rather, is it God who cares for us? Obviously, God doesn’t need David to build him a house. The whole world is his. Didn’t God build up David all along, bringing him to a place where he might consider offering God something in return? It is like children who want to give their parents a gift. First they ask a parent for money or a gift idea. On their own, they cannot give.

God turns the tables on David, saying that God

will build David a house—an everlasting lineage to rule over the people.

God will build something much bigger than anything David had ever dreamt of. He will build David a kingdom that will become a nation and give birth to a worldwide universal Church.

In the painting, Mary stands in front of an ornate house. She stands like us, at the entrance, welcoming God’s coming. It was her yes that allowed the master builder to enter into our world to begin building this house, which became a Church.

Like Mary, we await Jesus. With her, let us say yes to him, celebrating the one who has established that house where we celebrate today!

A Word From Pope Francis[Joseph and Mary in Bethlehem]....were alone, in a strange land, just the three of them. Then, all of a sudden, people began to appear: shepherds, people just like them who had to leave their homes to find better opportunities for their families. Their

lives were also affected by harsh weather, but by other kinds of hardship, too. When they heard that Jesus had been born, they went to see him. They became neighbors….they became a family to Mary and Joseph, the family of Jesus. This is what happens when Jesus comes into our lives….Faith brings us closer. It makes us neighbors.

An antiphon in the Christian breviary states, “The angel Gabriel was sent to the Virgin Mary, who was engaged to be married to Joseph” (December 20). Was she married or not when Jesus was conceived?

Much of the confusion is due to what constituted marriage at the time of Jesus.Mary was betrothed to Joseph when she was found to be pregnant through

the power of the Holy Spirit. During the usual betrothal period of a year, the woman remained with her family. However, the bond between the couple was already as permanent as marriage. That’s why Mary was legally known

as Joseph’s wife, even though they didn’t yet live together or have all the rights belonging to a husband and wife. In fact, the arrangement during betrothal was so binding that it could only be terminated in divorce.

Moreover, in that patriarchal society, a betrothed woman who had sexual relations

with anyone other than her husband was accused of adultery. Had Joseph ended this betrothal in disgrace, Mary would have been deprived of marriage for the rest of her life and dependent on her extended family upon her father’s death. But Joseph was an upright man who intended to divorce her quietly without publicly stating the reason, in order to spare Mary and her family’s reputation. That’s when an angel appeared to him in a dream and told him to have no fear about taking Mary as his wife, for the Child was conceived by the Holy Spirit (Matthew 1:20).

Thank you for your continuing support. You may have noticed that your maintenancecontributions have helped keep the entire church property up and running. The boileris being monitored regularly and the rectory/school fence has been repaired withsome new chain link fencing. All of the property repairs would not be possiblewithout your continued financial help. We are planning on having the windowscleaned (which has not been done in many, many years)

We continue to receive your blue cards with prayer requests. The responses havebeen wonderful and all cards will be placed in a basket by the "Book of Intentions"near the altar. During this Advent season, the "Season of Giving", please continue tosupport your Parish with your prayers and generous donations.
