God’s Promise of Real Treasure

If anyone can keep a promise, it’s God. His very

nature is to be faithful to his promises and to fulfill all he

has foretold. His promise after the fall of Adam and Eve

was to send us a Redeemer, to bring peace to

Jerusalem, and to reestablish his reign on earth. The

prophets continually reminded the chosen race of God’s

fidelity and, although things looked far from their

fulfillment, they insisted that God is faithful and would

deliver.

Jesus, the ultimate fulfillment of God’s promise,

comes in two

phases. First, by

coming as a baby in

Bethlehem. This

Incarnation and his

arrival as Savior is

what we’re preparing

to receive this

Advent. Extra

prayers, generous

giving of your time,

and special sacrifices are the best way to ready your

soul for his coming.

Jesus’ Second Coming will bring to completion what

he started on the cross. His glorious return, which all of

creation will foretell in those last days, is when the full

effects of Christ’s victory on the cross will be seen at the

judgment of all living creatures.

The advice for all Christians in this period of waiting

and preparation is to keep watch; to not allow the delay

to lead us to drowsiness. Don’t let the vanities of this

world dazzle us, for in time, they will become dust.

God promises real treasures that will endure forever,

and as we know, God keeps his promises.

— Fr. Mark Haydu, LC

THE PROMISE OF JUSTICE

We are in fairly good company when we ask God for justice. Often enough we hear and agree with the lament

of the people of Israel asking God why the wicked prosper. However, when we call out for justice, we usually want

someone to get his or her comeuppance. God’s justice is something other than this, of course. God’s justice

comprises a wonderful rightness between God and humankind.

Today, Jeremiah looks ahead to a time when a just one will sprout from the shorn-off stump of Jesse of the

house and family of David. Life was not fair in Jeremiah’s time. Israel’s kings held the promise of God’s fidelity, but

it was difficult to see how God’s promise could be realized through them.

Nevertheless, Jeremiah lifts his voice and announces that the Promised One will come. Luke’s Gospel echoes

that announcement, and Paul is filled with sturdy encouragement. And so Advent begins with a promise.

ADORACIÓN

LA PROMESA DE JUSTICIA

Estamos en buena compañía cuando clamamos a Dios por justicia. Con

frecuencia escuchamos y estamos de acuerdo con el pueblo de Israel que

pregunta a Dios por qué el malo prospera. Sin embargo, cuando clamamos por

justicia usualmente queremos que alguien reciba el castigo que se merece.

Obviamente la justicia de Dios es más que eso. La justicia de Dios abarca una

maravillosa rectitud entre Dios y la humanidad.

En la lectura de hoy Jeremías anuncia un tiempo en el que un justo brotará del

tronco de Jesé, de la casa y la familia de David. La vida no era justa en el

tiempo de Jeremías. Los reyes de Israel mantenían viva la promesa de la

fidelidad de Dios, pero era difícil ver cómo la promesa de Dios se podía cumplir

por medio de ellos.

No obstante, Jeremías levanta la voz y anuncia que ya viene el Salvador prometido. El Evangelio de Lucas hace

eco de ese anuncio, y Pablo se llena de un gran ánimo. De esta manera el Adviento comienza con una promesa.

LECTURAS DE HOY

Primera lectura — Se acercan los días cuando el

Señor cumplirá su promesa que hizo a Israel y a Judá

(Jeremías 33:14-16).

Salmo — Descúbrenos, Señor, tus caminos

(Salmo 25 [24]).

Segunda lectura — Que el Señor los llene y los haga

rebosar de amor para que sean irreprochables en

santidad (1 Tesalonicenses 3:12 — 4:2).

Evangelio — Habrá señales y verán al Hijo del Hombre

venir con gran poder y majestad (Lucas 21:25-28, 34-

36).

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE�

Es más que justo empezar

el tiempo litúrgico de

Adviento con la Virgen

María. Esta semana

celebramos la Solemnidad

de la Inmaculada

Concepción de María. Esta

es una fiesta especial para

varios países

latinoamericanos como

Nicaragua, Panamá,

Paraguay y los Estados

Unidos que tienen como

patrona nacional a la

Madre de Jesús bajo este

título.

Esta creencia tiene siglos de ser discutida por teólogos

cristianos como Ambrosio, Agustín, Buenaventura y Tomás

de Aquino, pero fue solo con la Constitución Ineffabilis

Deus del Papa Pío IX en 1854 que pasó a ser doctrina

oficial de la Iglesia. La enseñanza de la Inmaculada

Concepción de la Madre de Jesús insiste que María nació y

permaneció sin pecado. Según el teólogo franciscano Juan

Duns Escoto, María fue salvada del pecado desde el vientre

de su madre Ana. De esta manera Jesús pudo salvarla no

después de haber pecado como ha hecho con nosotros, sino

antes de que ella hubiera pecado.

La Inmaculada Concepción se hizo en vista de la

venida de Jesús quien nos puede hacer inmaculados gracias

al perdón y la gracia que nos ofrece.

will take place on Friday, December 14, from

9:30 a.m. -11:00 a.m. at St. Gregory the Great

Catholic School. The December selection is Caryll

Houselander’s “The Reed of God.” This spiritual classic

takes a look at the human side of the Blessed Virgin

Mary. The author, a British woman who has been

acclaimed as a poet and mystic, said that she had to get

Mary off a pedestal to be able to understand how God

could use her as a reed through which he could play his

music—and save the world.

All are welcome!

Oplatki Christmas Wafer

Available Now

The tradition of the Oplatki originated in

Poland during Early Christian times.

The Oplatki are enjoyed by families, typically right

before the Christmas Eve meal. The entire family gathers

around the table with the Oplatki. Generally the eldest

member of the family will begin the ritual by breaking off a

piece of the wafer and passing it to the other family

members with a blessing

The significance of the Oplatki Christmas wafer is that

it shadows the Eucharistic meal that Catholics participate in

at each Mass. .

Each package includes four

Oplatki Christmas wafers.

Available at the Parish Office for $2.00.

Limited supply.

While students in grades 1-6 were mindful of all they were thankful for during the days leading up to

Thanksgiving, students in Pre-K and K held special celebrations. The Pre-K class shared a special Thanksgiving

lunch with our neighbors, the Bluffton Township Fire Station. The students and firefighters ate together in one of

the truck bays, went on a tour of the fire station and then much to the delight of the kids, received a ride back to

school in the fire trucks complete with lights flashing and sirens blaring. Kindergarten shared a special

Thanksgiving lunch with each other. They ate as Pilgrim men and women around one big table and feasted on

such traditional Thanksgiving foods as turkey, pumpkin pie, apple pie and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches.

Please join us in song.

You are invited to listen in on the “meditation” portion of a recent

St. Vincent de Paul Society meeting:

For our meditation today I would like to share with you a shortened version of a long but beautiful poem I have

enjoyed reading now and then, for over 50 years.

I find it it is worth examining because it can help us keep our perspective and maintain a healthy attitude toward

clients we visit especially when we first meet someone whose appearance or demeanor is in anyway distasteful to

us. The story is about a young knight, Sir Launfal, who, in the springtime of his life is preparing to go out in search

of The Holy Grail, the chalice used by Christ at the last supper. Launfal is filled with enthusiasm, hope, optimism,

and all that goes along with youth, and the beautiful spring morning on which he sets out. But as he crosses the

drawbridge from his castle he encounters a leper who is begging at the edge of the stream. The sight of the leper

strikes Launfal as a gruesome blot on the beautiful June morning. The leper looked awful: both his clothes and his

body were eye sores; and our poet Lowell says: “A loathing came over Launfal and made his skin crawl”...so the

knight just quickly tossed a coin and rode on.

Years go by. Launfal sees much of life in his travels, has lots of exposure to reality, has learned the meaning

of human suffering, and his experiences have taught him that understanding and sympathy make us all brothers

and sisters. Lowell says, as Launfal returns:

“Deep in his soul, the sign he wore:

The badge of the suffering, and the poor.”

He is returning in winter (much different from the spring morning on which he left). It is cold. He is old and

gray. He is unsuccessful and empty-handed. And now he meets the same leper at the edge of the same moat

around his castle. But Launfal is different...more experienced, more compassionate to the leper:

And Launfal said, “I behold in thee

An image of him who died on the tree;

Thou also hast had thy crown of thorns,

Thou also hast had the world‘s buffets and scorns,

And to thy life were not denied

The wounds in the hands and feet and side.

Mild Mary’s Son, acknowledge me;

Behold, through him, I give to Thee!

Now Launfal breaks the ice in that moat, scoops out a drink of water for the leper, then he reaches in his

saddle bag for the last of his bread, and shares a meal with the leper...and cares for him.

Now The leper responds to Launfal:

And the voice that was calmer than silence said,

“Lo, it is I, be not afraid!

In many climes, without avail,

Thou hast spent thy life for the Holy Grail;

Behold it is here,—this cup which thou

Didst fill at the streamlet for me but now;

This crust is my body broken for thee,

This water, His blood that died on the tree;

The Holy Supper is kept, indeed,

In whatso we share with another’s need,—

Not what we give, but what we share,

For the gift without the giver is bare;

Who gives himself with his alms feeds three,

Himself, his hungering neighbor, and Me.”

The poem is called the VISION of Sir Launfal for two reasons: 1) The heart of the poem is actually a dream (a

vision) Launfal had the night before he was to leave. And 2) It changed his outlook...his vision...forever after. He

found the Holy Grail without having to go on his quest. And he opened his castle to the needs of the poor from

then on.

All of us here have had some version of Launfal’s awakening or we would not be doing what we do. But I hope

you agree, what you have heard of Lowells poem is a nice reminder of how we should accept...without

reservation...all of the voices who call on our Help Line...and all of the faces who open the doors...of clients we are

called to serve...either in person as visitors...or through the other vital services we perform.
