Stewards Rejoice Always

“Rejoice always, pray constantly, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you” – 1 THESSALONIANS 5:16 – 18

This scripture reading sums up Stewardship.

“Rejoice always” means place your trust in God; He

will provide all that you need. “Pray constantly”

means prayer should be a running conversation with

God throughout the whole day, every day. “Give

thanks in all circumstances” means even in bad situa-

tions, thank God. Suffering a little bit helps build em-

pathy for others in similar situations.

Dear Friends in Christ, Merry Christmas! It is a joy to wish you and yours every blessing in the Lord as we rejoice in the birth our Beloved Savior! The words of the carol Down in Yon Forest are worth meditating upon:

Down in yon forest there stands a hall: The bells of Paradise I heard them ring: It's covered all over with purple and pall

And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.

In that hall there stands a bed: The bells of Paradise I heard them ring: It's covered all over with scarlet so red:

And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.

At the bed-side there lies a stone: The bells of Paradise I heard them ring: Which the sweet Virgin Mary knelt upon:

And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.

Under that bed there runs a flood: The bells of Paradise I heard them ring:

The one half runs water, the other runs blood: And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.

At the bed's foot there grows a thorn:

The bells of Paradise I heard them ring: Which ever blows blossom since he was born:

And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.

Over that bed the moon shines bright: The bells of Paradise I heard them ring:

Denoting our Saviour was born this night: And I love my Lord Jesus above anything.

Yes, “I love my Lord Jesus above anything.” It is impossible to say it in any other way. Feliz Navidad a nuestra querida comunidad latina! Les deseo gozo y paz en el Niño Jesús. Ruego que Nuestra Señora ustedes permita contemplar el rostro del Niño Jesús para experimentar Su amor por ustedes. Merry Christmas! Feliz Navidad! Maligayang Pasko! Wesołych Świąt, Bożego Narodzenia! Joyeux Noël!

Fröhliche Weihnachten!

Prayers for Advent Wreath

FOURTH WEEK The prayer that follows is to be repeated each day of the fourth week. After the prayer, the father lights all four candles.

Leader: O Lord, stir up Thy power, we pray Thee,

and come; and with great might help us, that with

the help of Thy Grace, Thy merciful forgiveness

may hasten what our sins impede. Through Christ

our Lord.

All: Amen.

The four candles are allowed to burn during the evening meals of the fourth week.

After the fourth week, the penitential season of Advent is over and the time to rejoice is at hand. The Advent wreath is transformed into a Christmas wreath. Ribbon and can-dles are replaced with red ribbon and long red or white tapers (to be lighted at breakfast on Christmas morning) and, if desired, other festive decorations can be added.

MAY PEACE BE YOUR GIFT AT CHRISTMAS AND YOUR BLESSING ALL YEAR THROUGH….

This blessing of the Christmas Crib is for use in the home, prayed by the family members over the Crib. This should probably be done Christmas Eve or Christmas Day, before opening the gifts.

This version is from the 1954 Collectio Rituum or Roman Ritual.

MARY'S MAGNIFICAT The father of the family recites the antiphon, and then the Magnificat, alternating

verses with the rest of the family.

Antiphon: The Lord has regarded humble persons and places, therefore all generations shall call them blessed.

My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior: Because he has regarded the lowliness of his handmaid; for behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed; Because he who is mighty has done great things for me, and holy is his name: And his mercy is from generation to generation, on those who fear him.

He has shown might with his arm, he has scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.

He has put down the mighty from their thrones, and has exalted the lowly.

He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.

He has given help to Israel, his servant, mindful of his mercy. Even as he spoke to our fathers to Abraham and to his posterity forever.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Antiphon: The Lord has regarded humble persons and places, therefore all generations shall call them blessed. FIRST READING The mother of the family reads: The eternal Son of God having become man out of love for us, chose to be born in a lowly stable, rather than in the greatest palace

of kings. Being rich, He became poor for our sake to show us how greatly He loves poverty and humility. But the presence of the King of kings made this lowly shelter to be the most honorable and noble of royal palaces. Herein He was pleased to be, adored by His virgin mother and father, by the poor shepherds, and by the wealthy wise men. As a man among men Christ came for all men, of all times, and all places; unless we say "there is no room," He will come into our home this Christmas night, and will make it a place of splendor, of love and of great joy.

All answer: Thanks be to God. Mother: The Word was made flesh, Alleluia. All: And dwells among us, Alleluia.

SECOND READING One of the children reads: From the Holy Gospel according to St. Luke:

At that time the shepherds were saying to one another, "Let us go over to Bethlehem and see this event that has come to pass which the Lord has made known to us." So they went with haste, and found Mary and Joseph, and the Babe lying in the manger. And when they had seen, they understood what had been told them concerning this child. And all who heard marveled at the things told them by the shepherds. But Mary kept in mind all these words pondering them in her heart. And the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, even as it was spoken to them.

Each member of the family kisses the Gospel text.

PRAYER Father: O Lord, hear my prayer. All: And let my cry come unto Thee. Father: The Lord be with you. All: And with you also.

Father: O God, out of your love for us you sent your dearly beloved Son to become man. You willed that he be born in a humble stable in order to give us an example of humility. We pray you now to bless this crib, a representation of the scene of his birth; may it draw us closer to him. By imitating his humility may we become a worthy dwelling place for his rebirth, Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord.

All: Amen. All sing, "O Come All Ye Faithful" or "Silent Night."

Esperamos la presencia de la comunidad de

San Judas para celebrar la venida del Niño

Jesús. Encenderemos la estrella del nacimien-

to y de los árboles de navidad a las 12am.

Oración de la Semana “Padre y Dios nuestro, te rogamos que al celebrar con alegría y amor la Natividad de Nuestro Señor Jesucristo, llevemos una vida digna para gozar siem-pre de su divina presencia.”

La Navidad

Es la celebración del nacimiento del Niño Dios, es

tiempo de amor y de paz, donde hay que olvidar ren-

cores y perdonar. Pero Navidad es Navidad. Cada uno

celebra y vive a su manera y hoy en día más que un

acontecimiento espiritual, se ha considerado un hecho

comercial. Por eso la Navidad nos recuerda que Dios

no está lejos de nosotros, sino muy cerca; celebramos

al Niño Jesús que es Hijo de Dios, en Él, Dios nos

mostró su rostro humano, para salvarnos y amarnos.

Bautizos

Si usted quiere bautizar durante el mes de Enero con el

padre René Canales, los unicos dias disponibles son:

sábado 27 y domingo 28 debido a que el padre viaja al

Salvador durante el mes de Enero.
