Dear St. Matthew Parishioners and Friends,

THE SOUND OF STILLNESS There is so much busyness at this time of year, so much noise. Can you hear the voice over the racket? John the Baptist, in today’s Gospel reading, says we must change ourselves. A great light is going to appear that will expose our sinfulness and burn up in fire what we cannot hide. We cannot afford to be complacent and think we are doing fine as we are. Change is a great idea, you think, but how do I do that? Sixteen hundred years ago a young man grew up in what is now Algeria, on the north coast of Africa. He was the child of a Christian mother and a pagan father. They gave him an excellent education, but as a youth he fell in with a sect called the Manichees, who encouraged sexual promiscuity, drunkenness, and many other vices. In his autobiography he tells us that he reached a point in his life when he had no beliefs and neither the prayers of his mother nor the urgings of his best friend to become a Christian seemed to have any effect. He prayed to God to change him, “but not yet.” Finally, he stopped and realized his own limited ability, his emptiness and his powerlessness. He could do nothing through his own efforts. At that point he was quiet enough to hear the “still small voice.” God said, “Take up and read,” and the scriptures fell open to a passage in the Letter to the Romans (13:13–14). His heart was changed. His name is Augustine and he became a bishop, a great Christian theologian, a doctor of the Church. (Continued on page 2)

Queridos Parroquianos y amigos de St. Matthew

UN MENSAJE EN LA QUIETUD En este tiempo del año hay demasiadas ocupaciones y demasiado ruido. ¿Cómo poder escuchar una voz en medio de tanta bulla? Juan el Bautista nos dice en el Evangelio de hoy que debemos cambiar. Una gran luz aparecerá que expondrá nuestros pecados y lo que no dé fruto será arrojado al fuego. No podemos darnos el lujo de sentirnos auto-satisfechos y pensar que todo lo estamos haciendo de maravilla. Cambiar es muy buena idea pero, ¿cómo puedo hacerlo? Hace mil seiscientos años un joven creció en un lugar de la costa norte de África, que hoy es Argelia, era hijo de una madre cristiana y de un padre pagano. Recibió una educación excelente, pero de muy joven cayó en las redes de los maniqueos quienes lo animaban a practicar la promiscuidad sexual, a beber en exceso y otros muchos vicios. En su autobiografía nos dice que llegó a un punto en su vida en que no creía en nada y ni las oraciones de su madre ni las insistencias de sus mejores amigos parecían tener efecto. Le pidió a Dios que lo cambiara, pero “todavía no”. Finalmente cayó en cuenta de sus limitadas habilidades, de su vacío interior y de su incapacidad. No podía hacer nada por sus propios esfuerzos. En ese momento de su vida, pudo entrar en una quietud que le permitió escuchar una voz “como la de un niño” que le decía, “toma y lee” y al abrir la Biblia se encontró con el pasaje de la carta de san Pablo a los romanos (13:13–14). Su corazón cambió. Su nombre es Agustín. Llegó a ser obispo, un gran teólogo cristiano y doctor de la Iglesia. El Adviento es un tiempo para aminorar nuestra velocidad, para buscar la quietud y escuchar más atentamente. De lo contrario, podríamos perdernos el mensaje que Dios tiene para nosotros. La Corresponsabilidad Vivida Ahora Pasa un rato en un lugar tranquilo. Aprovecha ese silencio para preguntarle a Dios qué desea decirte durante este Adviento.

Dear St. Matthew parishioners and friends, (cont’d) Advent is a time to slow down, to be quieter, and to listen more carefully, or we might miss the personal message that God has for us. Living Stewardship Now Spend some time in a quiet place. Use the silence to ask what God is waiting to tell you this Advent. Copyright © 2010, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.
