4 l Welcome to St. Thomas Becket Catholic Community

GAUDETTE SUNDAY This Gaudete Sunday (marked by the third, pink candle on the Advent wreath) calls us to rejoice because the Lord is near. Does your heart rejoice and sing, or are the pressures and burdens of life weighing you down? We can easily become overwhelmed. The weaknesses and sins of life eat away at the joy and hope God wants us to know. Those who are grounded in their faith and possess deep spiritual lives know that God is near. Realizing this puts life into perspec"ve. We really want to be free from our burdens but do not always know how to

achieve this. We keep stumbling and falling. Advent is a "me when we can learn to "do life differently," just like John the Bap"st instructed the crowds. Joy and hope are the gi+s God offers, not anxiety and despair. Advent is a "me of prepara"on. We not only prepare for Christmas, but for the day when Jesus Christ returns again. Unfortunately, we too o+en act like this is the only "me to prepare for such events. We should be preparing all throughout the year. Mother Teresa from Calcu/a had these (among many more) simple but wise quotes. They sum up everything that we should be prac"cing everyday to live our best lives, and with joy.

PEOPLE ARE OFTEN UNREASONABLE AND SELF-CENTERED—LOVE THEM ANYWAY IF YOU ARE KIND, PEOPLE MAY ACCUSE YOU OF ULTERIOR MOTIVES—BE KIND ANYWAY

IF YOU ARE HONEST PEOPLE MAY CHEAT YOU—BE HONEST ANYWAY IF YOU FIND HAPPINESS PEOPLE MAY BE JEALOUS—BE HAPPY ANYWAY

THE GOOD YOU DO TODAY MAY BE FORGOTTEN TOMORROW– DO GOOD ANYWAY GIVE THE WORLD THE BEST YOU HAVE AND IT MAY NEVER BE ENOUGH—GIVE YOUR BEST ANYWAY

FOR YOU SEE IN THE END IT IS — BETWEEN YOU AND GOD

Wishing you much joy today and always - Liz Mika

*************************************************************************************

Ta niedziela Gaudete (oznaczona trzecią, różową świecą na adwentowym wieńcu) wzywa nas do radości, ponieważ Pan jest blisko. Czy twoje serce raduje się i śpiewa, czy też obciążone jest troskami życia? Możemy łatwo zostać przytłoczeni. Słabości i grzechy życia pożerają naszą radość i nadzieję,

którą Bóg chce abyśmy poznali. Ci, którzy są ugruntowani w wierze i posiadają głębokie życie duchowe, wiedzą, że Bóg jest blisko. Uświadomienie sobie tego stawia nasze życie w perspektywie. Wszyscy prawdziwie chcemy być wolni od naszych obciążeń, ale nie zawsze wiemy, jak to osiągnąć. Ciągle potykamy się i upadamy. Adwent to czas, kiedy możemy nauczyć się "żyć inaczej", podobnie

jak Jan Chrzciciel pouczał tłumy. Radość i nadzieja są darami, które Bóg nam oferuje, a nie lęk i rozpacz. Adwent to czas przygotowania. Nie tylko przygotowujemy się na Boże Narodzenie, ale także na dzień, kiedy Jezus Chrystus ponownie powróci. Niestety, zbyt często postępujemy tak, jakby to był jedyny czas na przygotowanie się. Powinniśmy przygotowywać się przez cały rok.

Matka Teresa z Kalkuty zostawiła nam te (pośród wielu innych) proste, ale mądre cytaty. Podsumowują one wszystko, co powinniśmy praktykować każdego dnia, aby żyć jak najlepiej i z radością.

LUDZIE SĄ CZĘSTO NIELOGICZNI I SAMOLUBNI—KOCHAJ ICH MIMO WSZYSTKO JEŚLI JESTEŚ ŻYCZLIWY, LUDZIE MOGĄ POSĄDZAĆ CIĘ O UKRYTE MOTYWY—BĄDŹ JEDNAK NADAL ŻYCZLIWY

JEŚLI JESTEŚ UCZCIWY, LUDZIE MOGĄ CIĘ OSZUKIWAĆ—BĄDŹ JEDNAK ZAWSZE UCZCIWY JEŚLI ZNAJDZIESZ SZCZĘŚCIE, LUDZIE MOGĄ CI ZAZDROŚCIĆ—BĄDŹ JEDNAK ZAWSZE SZCZĘŚLIWY

DOBRO, KTÓRE DZISIAJ CZYNISZ, MOŻE BYĆ JUTRO ZAPOMNIANE—CZYŃ JEDNAK ZAWSZE DOBRO DAJĄĆ ŚWIATU NAJLEPSZE CO POSIADASZ OTRZYMUJESZ CIOSY—MIMO WSZYSTKO,

DAWAJ ŚWIATU NAJLEPSZE CO POSIADASZ PAMIĘTAJ, W OSTATECZNOŚCI TO WSZYSTKO JEST MIĘDZY TOBĄ A BOGIEM

Życzę wszystkim wiele radości dzisiaj i zawsze—Elżbieta Mika

Ques"on: What is the Hispanic Advent custom

of Las Posadas?

Answer: Posada is the Spanish word for inn or

lodging. Las Posadas refers to a tradi"onal Advent custom in

prepara"on for the birth of Jesus, beginning on December 16th. For nine successive evenings, groups reenact the search of Mary and Joseph for shelter in Bethlehem.

Two children dress as Mary and

Joseph, some"mes with Mary riding on an actual donkey. They are usually accompanied by children dressed as angels and shepherds along with the Wise Men. Adults accompany them

as they process to designated homes, where they sing Christmas songs and

request lodging. Part of the group enters the home and becomes the

chorus that responds to the request for lodging. In the beginning, the request is rebuffed. They move to

several more homes where the ritual is repeated. Eventually, at the last

home, their need is recognized, and they all enter the home where a party ensues. This is repeated in

different neighborhoods and homes each of the nine days.

While this custom teaches children

an important aspect of the Christmas story, it also emphasizes the need for

hospitality to strangers and the con"nual need we all have to make

room for Jesus in our "posada." As we struggle to arrive at a fair and

just immigra"on policy, especially with Mexico, it would be good to

recall the fact that Mary, Joseph, and Jesus were also immigrants looking

for a hospitable place to dwell.
