3RD SUNDAY OF ADVENT

Gaudete! Rejoice! Today the Church instructs us to rejoice at the coming of our Savior. The third candle of Advent is lit—Christmas is near. The rose (not pink!) color evokes for us great joy. To receive the Lord into our hearts is a delight, to be his friend and servant is a great joy. But amidst the challenges of the world—illness, violence, social disruption, broken relationships—can we truly find joy? We have only to read the news to see the brokenness around us. And many difficulties are so close to us, in our hearts and in our families. Isn’t joy discordant with the reality of sin in our lives?

The Scriptures today do not hesitate. St. Paul tells us, “Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice!” Joy is a fruit of the Holy Spirit—a true gift from God. And it is precisely into our broken world and hearts that God pours forth his joy. As Pope Francis reminds us, “The joy of the gospel fills the hearts and lives of all who encounter Jesus. Those who accept his offer of salvation are set free from sin, sorrow, inner emptiness and loneliness.”

As we continue our Advent journey, let us rejoice that

the Lord is near. And let us ask Mary, especially today

under the title of Our Lady of Guadalupe, to pray for

us. Teach us, O Mary, the joy of Christ.

3ER DOMINGO DE ADVIENTO

¡Gaudete! ¡Alegrate! Hoy la iglesia nos instruye a regocijarnos por la venida de nuestro Salvador. Se enciende la tercera vela de Adviento: se acerca la Navidad. El color rosa nos evoca una gran alegría. Recibir al Señor en nuestro corazón es un placer ser su amigo y siervo es un gran gozo. Pero en medio de los desafíos del mundo —enfermedad, violencia, relaciones rotas—, ¿podemos encontrar alegría? Sólo tenemos que leer las noticias para ver el quebrantamiento en el mundo. Y muchas dificultades están tan cerca de nosotros, en nuestro corazón y en nuestra familia. ¿No es difícil encontrar gozo con la realidad del pecado en nuestras vidas?

Las Escrituras de hoy no vacilan. San Pablo nos dice: Alégrense siempre

en el Señor; se lo repito: ¡alégrense!" El gozo es un fruto del Espíritu Santo, un verdadero regalo de Dios. Y es precisamente en nuestro mundo y corazones quebrantados donde Dios derrama su gozo. Como nos recuerda el Papa Francisco, “La alegría del evangelio llena el corazón y la vida de todos los que se encuentran con Jesús. Aquellos que aceptan su oferta de salvación son liberados del pecado, el dolor, el vacío interior y la soledad ".

Mientras continuamos nuestro viaje de Adviento, regocijémonos de que el Señor está cerca. Y pidamos a María, especialmente hoy bajo el título de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, que ore por nosotros. Enséñanos, oh María, el gozo de Cristo.

Penitential Rite Have mercy on us, O Lord. For we have sinned against you. Show us, O Lord, your mercy. And grant us your salvation. May almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us our sins and bring us to everlasting life. Amen.

First Reading │ A reading from the book of the prophet Zephaniah (3:14-18a)

Shout for joy, O daughter Zion! Sing joyfully, O Israel! Be glad and exult with all your heart, O daughter Jerusalem! The LORD has removed the judgment against you he has turned away your enemies; the King of Israel, the LORD, is in your midst, you have no further misfortune to fear. On that day, it shall be said to Jerusalem: Fear not, O Zion, be not discouraged! The LORD, your God, is in your midst, a mighty savior; he will rejoice over you with gladness, and renew you in his love, he will sing joyfully because of you, as one sings at festivals. The

word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm │ Psalm 25

℟. To you, Lord, I lift up my soul, O my God.

O Lord, show your ways to me. Teach me your paths and keep me in the ways of your truth, for you are the God that saves me. ℟.

The Lord is so good, so holy; sinners find the way, and in all that is right he guides the humble. The poor he leads in his pathways. ℟.

All day long I hope in your goodness. Remember your love, the love that you promised long ago, and the kindness that you gave from of old. ℟.

Primera lectura │ Lectura del profeta Sofonías (3, 14-18a)

Canta, hija de Sión, da gritos de júbilo, Israel, gózate y regocíjate de todo corazón, Jerusalén. El Señor ha levantado su sentencia contra ti, ha expulsado a todos tus enemigos. El Señor será el rey de Israel en medio de ti y ya no temerás ningún mal. Aquel día dirán a Jerusalén: “No temas, Sión, que no desfallezcan tus manos. El Señor, tu Dios, tu poderoso salvador, está en medio de ti. Él se goza y se complace en ti; él te ama y se llenará de júbilo por tu causa, como en los días de fiesta”. Palabra de Dios. Te alabamos, Señor.

Salmo Responsorial Isaias 12, 2-6

Second Reading | A reading from the first letter of St. Paul to the Philippians (4:4-7)

Brothers and sisters: Rejoice in the Lord always. I shall say it again: rejoice! Your kindness should be known to all. The Lord is near. Have no anxiety at all, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, make your requests known to God. Then the peace of God that surpasses all understanding will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Gospel │ A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke (3:10-18)

The crowds asked John the Baptist, “What should we do?” He said to them in reply, “Whoever has two cloaks should share with the person who has none. And whoever has food should do likewise.” Even tax collectors came to be baptized and they said to him, “Teacher, what should we do?” He answered them, “Stop collecting more than what is prescribed.” Soldiers also asked him, “And what is it that we should do?” He told them, “Do not practice extortion, do not falsely accuse anyone, and be satisfied with your wages.” Now the people were filled with expectation, and all were asking in their hearts whether John might be the Christ. John answered them all, saying, “I am baptizing you with water, but one mightier than I is coming. I am not worthy to loosen the thongs of his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing fan is in his hand to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.” Exhorting them in many other ways, he preached good news to the people. The gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Segunda lectura │ Lectura de la primera carta de los Filipenses (4. 4-7)

Hermanos míos: Alégrense siempre en el Señor; se lo repito: ¡alégrense! Que la benevolencia de ustedes sea conocida por todos. El Señor está cerca. No se inquieten por nada; más bien presenten en toda ocasión sus peticiones a Dios en la oración y la súplica, llenos de gratitud. Y que la paz de Dios, que sobrepasa toda inteligencia, custodie sus corazones y sus pensamientos en Cristo Jesús. Palabra de Dios. Te alabamos, Señor.

Evangelio │ Del santo Evangelio según San Lucas (3, 10-18)

En aquel tiempo, la gente le preguntaba a Juan el Bautista: “¿Qué debemos hacer?” Él contestó: “Quien tenga dos túnicas, que dé una al que no tiene ninguna, y quien tenga comida, que haga lo mismo”. También acudían a él los publicanos para que los bautizara, y le preguntaban: “Maestro, ¿qué tenemos que hacer nosotros?” Él les decía: “No cobren más de lo establecido”. Unos soldados le preguntaron: “Y nosotros, ¿qué tenemos que hacer?” Él les dijo: “No

extorsionen a nadie, ni denuncien a nadie falsamente, sino conténtense con su salario”. Como el pueblo estaba en expectación y todos pensaban que quizá Juan era el Mesías, Juan los sacó de dudas, diciéndoles: “Es cierto que yo bautizo con agua, pero ya viene otro más poderoso que yo, a quien no merezco desatarle las correas de sus sandalias. Él

los bautizará con el Espíritu Santo y con fuego. Él tiene el bieldo en la mano para separar el trigo de la paja; guardará el trigo en su granero y quemará la paja en un fuego que no se extingue”. Con éstas y otras muchas exhortaciones anunciaba al pueblo la buena nueva. Palabra del Señor. Gloria a ti, Señor Jesús.

Creed

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, (bow) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Credo

Creo en un solo Dios Padre todopoderoso, Creador del cielo y de la tierra, de todo lo visible y lo invisible. Creo en un solo Señor, Jesucristo, Hijo único de Dios, nacido del Padre antes de todos los siglos: Dios de Dios, Luz de Luz, Dios verdadero de Dios verdadero, engendrado, no creado, de la misma naturaleza del Padre, por quien todo fue hecho; que por nosotros, los hombres, y por nuestra salvación bajó del cielo, (inclinarse) y por obra del Espíritu Santo se encarnó de María, la Virgen, y se hizo hombre; y por nuestra causa fue crucificado en tiempos de Poncio Pilato; padeció y fue sepultado, y resucitó al tercer día, según las Escrituras, y subió al cielo, y está sentado a la derecha del Padre; y de nuevo vendrá con gloria para juzgar a vivos y muertos, y su reino no tendrá fin. Creo en el Espíritu Santo, Señor y dador de vida, que procede del Padre y del Hijo, que con el Padre y el Hijo recibe una misma adoración y gloria, y que habló por los profetas. Creo en la Iglesia, que es una, santa, católica y apostólica. Confieso que hay un solo Bautismo para el perdón de los pecados. Espero la resurrección de los muertos y la vida del mundo futuro. Amén.

Salida │ Virgencita Ranchera

1. A ti, Virgencita, mi Guadalupana, yo quiero ofrecerte un canto valiente que México entero te diga sonriente. Yo quiero decirte lo que tú sabes: que México te ama, que nunca está triste porque de nombrarte el alma se inflama. Tu nombre es arrullo y el mundo lo sabe. Eres nuestro orgullo, mi México es tuyo; tú guardas la llave.

ESTRIBILLO ¡Que viva la Reina de los mexicanos! La que con sus manos sembró rosas bellas Y puso en el cielo millares de estrellas.

2. Yo sé que en el cielo tú escuchas mi canto, yo sé que con celo nos cubre tu manto; Virgencita chula, eres un Encanto. Por patria no diste este lindo suelo y lo bendijiste porque era tu anhelo; tener un santuario cerquita del cielo. O Virgen morena, mi Virgen ranchera, eres nuestra duena, México es tu tierra y tú su bandera.

LAS POSADAS: A MEXICAN CHRISTMAS TRADITION

The story of Christ’s birth has been told and retold so many times it could have lost its luster generations ago. But it hasn’t—not even close. And perhaps nowhere on earth is the Nativity story told with more flourish and faith-based exuberance than in the annual celebration of Las Posadas, a tradition held throughout Mexico and Guatemala.

A holy history lesson: The roots of Las Posadas stretch deeply into Latin culture. It originated in Spain, but it’s been a yearly celebration throughout Mexico for over 400 years. The tradition commemorates Mary and Joseph’s difficult journey from Nazareth to Bethlehem in search of a warm place to stay the night. (Posadas is Spanish for “lodgings” or “accommodations.”) Beginning on December 16 and ending nine days later, on December 24, Las Posadas commemorates the nine months of Mary’s pregnancy. Each night, one family agrees to house the pilgrims. And so it begins: At dusk, a procession of the faithful takes to the streets with children often dressed as angels and shepherds. Religious figures, images and lighted candles are a part of the festivities. The group representing the Holy Family stands outside a series of houses, singing songs, asking for lodging. They are refused time and again until the group reaches the designated house. Finally, the travelers are permitted to enter. Prayer and song continue in the home, and festive foods are shared. The evening ends with a piñata in the shape of star. Just as Mary and Joseph faced the cold weather—and even colder innkeepers that night—participants brave the elements in bringing their love for the Christ Child to their streets. Las Posadas isn’t about being somber and still during Christmas: It’s about pilgrims and a pilgrimage, rousing song, prayer and deep faith—all of it in motion.
