Segundo Domingo de Adviento
Cuando oigo la historia de Juan el Bautista sumergien-do a los israelitas en el rio Jordán me viene a la mente un tierno momento que pasé con mi amigo Charles Onofrio, el gran león de Dios que se nos fue al cielo el año pasado. Nadie amaba a Jesús y a la Iglesia más que Chuck, y nadie era tan receptivo y educado en lo que concierne a las reformas del vaticano II como lo era es-te elocuente abogado católico. Pero la primer vez que Chuck observó a los catecúme-nos que estaban siendo preparados para el bautismo salir de la iglesia después de la homilía se escandalizó. “Oigan, yo no voy a soportar esto. Si ellos no se pue-den quedar a la Comunión entonces yo tampoco me quedaré. Yo soy más pecador que cualquiera de ellos. ¿Con qué cara me puedo quedar yo si a ellos se les pide que salgan?” Chuck necesitó unas cuantas amables palabras de expli-cación de parte del gran obispo George Evans para po-der comprender que ese era el nuevo rito de iniciación para los conversos a la fe. Ellos no tienen que marchar-se –¡ni lo mande Dios!- porque son pecadores y noso-tros no lo somos. Se marchan en frente de nosotros para ir al catecismo juntos, y para que nosotros oremos por ellos mientras que se dirigen para allá. Chuck se convirtió en el catequista líder de la parro-quia, y debió haber orado por cientos de católicos nue-vos que se dirigían a la fuente bautismal en esos próxi-mos treinta y cinco años. Pero creo que secretamente siempre le gustó el estilo de aquel salvaje, come-langostas que era el Bautista, quien arrastraba a su pro-pia gente- no a los que se convertían al judaísmo, sino a los que ya eran judíos fieles de toda una vida- hacia el desierto y los hacía admitir que ELLOS eran pecadores y ELLOS necesitaban el bautismo del arrepentimiento. El Adviento es una temporada tan llena de silencio y reflexión. Escucha cuidadosamente. Una voz proclama en el desierto. ¿Qué es lo que te dice a ti la voz de Juan el Bautista?

Second Sunday of Advent When I hear about John the Baptizer dunking Israel-ites in the Jordan I remember a tender moment with my friend Charles Onofrio, the great lion of God who went home to heaven last year. No one loved Jesus and the Church more than Chuck, and no one was more receptive to and educated about the reforms of Vatican II than this eloquent Catholic lawyer. But the first time Chuck observed the catechumens preparing for baptism being led from the church after the homily he was outraged. “Well, I’m not standing for this. If they can’t stay for Communion then nei-ther can I. I’m a greater sinner than any of them. How dare I stay when they are being asked to leave?” It took a few words of kind explanation from the great Bishop George Evans to help Chuck understand that this was the new rite of initiation for converts to the faith. Their dismissal is not―good heavens! ― because they are sinners and we aren’t. They are dis-missed in front of us so they can go for catechesis together, and so we can pray for them every step of the way. Chuck became the lead catechist in the parish, and must have prayed hundreds of new Catholics to the baptismal font over the next thirty-five years. But I think he secretly liked the style of that wild, locust-eating Baptist, who dragged his own people―not those converting to Judaism, but lifelong, faithful Jews― out into the desert and got them to admit that THEY were sinners and that THEY needed a bap-tism of repentance. Advent is such a quiet, reflective season. Listen care-fully. A voice is crying out in the wilderness.
What is the voice of John the Baptist saying to you?

AROUND THE COMMUNITY DECEMBER 10, 2017
QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK
Mark 1:1-8 Mark opens his Gospel with a quote from the proph-et Isaiah followed by a description of John the Baptist and a snapshot of his proclaiming. How do John's words awaken you in this season of Advent? Isaiah 40:1-5, 9-11 Around 550 BC, the prophet Isaiah proclaimed these words of comfort to the Israelites exiled in Babylon. Who needs to hear comforting words from you this Advent? 2 Peter 3:8-14 According to Peter, God's delay in returning Christ to the world is so that "all should come to repentance." How does this divine delay call us to holiness?
LIVE THE LITURGY John the Baptist announced, "Prepare the way of the Lord, make straight his paths." Does preparing a way for the Lord have priority in our lives? Often we spend more time preparing paths for ourselves ra-ther than a path for God. Advent calls us to take the focus off ourselves and put it on God. We prepare a path for God by practicing and living the virtues, be-ing holy and devoted, patient and repentant, and attentive and humble. We are asked to bring com-fort and healing to people and to show others by the way we live our lives that we have a higher calling and purpose.
The Community Ministry Clothing Bank needs your help! Help us stuff the giant red stocking with chil-dren’s socks and underwear (new please!). The sock is in the vestibule. Community Ministry is our local food bank to which we also donate food monthly.

VIVIR LA LITURGIA - INSPIRACIÓN DE LA SEMANA Juan Bautista anunció: "Enderecen el camino del Señor". ¿Tenemos como prioridad al Señor en nuestras vidas? A menudo, pasamos el tiempo preparando los caminos para nosotros, en vez del camino para el Señor. El Adviento nos llama a desprendernos de nosotros mismos y poner la confi-anza en Dios. Preparamos el camino a Dios cuando practi-camos y vivimos las virtudes, cuando somos santos y devo-tos, pacientes y arrepentidos, cuando somos humildes y estamos atentos. Se nos pide que demos consuelo y cura-ción a la gente y que mostremos a los otros que tenemos una llamada superior y un propósito en nuestras vidas.
PREGUNTAS DE LA SEMANA
Marcos 1, 1-8 San Marcos comienza su Evangelio con una cita del profeta Isaías seguida por una descripción de San Juan Bautista y una imagen de su proclamación. ¿Cómo te pueden ayudar las palabras de San Juan durante este tiempo de Adviento? Isaías 40, 1-5. 9-11 Durante el año 550 a.C., el profeta Isaías proclamó estas palabras de consuelo a los israelitas exiliados en Babilonia. ¿Quién necesita oír palabras consuelo de ti durante este tiempo de Adviento? 2 Pedro 3, 8-14 Según San Pedro, el regreso tardío de Cristo al mun-do es para que "todos se arrepientan". ¿Cómo esta exhortación divina nos llama a la santidad?
