WHAT’S IN YOUR HEART? It’s Advent: What kind of Messiah are you expecting? A harsh one? That’s the one it looks as if scripture was anticipating: A savior who slays the wicked and sweeps up the unrepentant like dust on the floor and burns them in the incinerator. Severe even in metaphorical terms. Or perhaps you think you know already—the same Jesus who’s been arriving every Christmas for centuries? What about a Messiah who ushers in a weird new kingdom where you don’t hate your “natural” enemies, where everyone lives in harmony, outsiders are invited to the party, and children are in charge? That’s the one the readings are insisting you pay attention to, more than the violent kind. Are you ready today for that kingdom—in which you don’t hate terrorists, get along with your family, coworkers, classmates, and everyone else you’re thrown in with, and let the weak and vulnerable call the shots? WHERE WE LIVE, SERVE,

& WALK TOGETHER IN FAITH.

ST. JOSEPH’S

PAG E TW O

FROM THE PASTOR My Dear Parishioners, Advent reminds us that we are waiting in joyful hope. We are waiting for the coming of our rescuer, Jesus. Advent stories define so many arrivals: babies conceived by a woman too old, and another too inexperienced, to enjoy such privileges. A wild-eyed Baptizer appears demanding that people change direction. A healer named Jesus arrives on the scene; he’s the ax laid at the root of every barren tree. Finally the Spirit of God descends to take up residence in hearts willing to receive it. Babies, a Baptist, an ax, a flaming Spirit. All have arrived and made their indelible mark on history. So the question remains: What are you and I waiting for this Advent season? What else can convince us the world is ripe for the season of justice? Sometimes it seems history is stalling. Oh, we have made many advancements in technology, but I’m not sure that we have smarter people. Despite an increasingly educated population, we’re not any closer to a world of peace and justice than when the prophet Isaiah envisioned his peaceable kingdom (today’s first reading) nearly three millennia ago. The wolves of this planet are still out to get the lambs. The calf still lives in mortal terror of the lion. If the baby plays near the cobra’s den, he’ll be bitten for sure. This is not a safe place, this world of our invention. It’s full of hate because of a long legacy of suffering and injustice. Until healing comes, until the hating stops, until every family is secure in their homes and no one is fair game because of gender, color, ethnicity, religion, or orientation, none of us can live in peace. That’s the truth. You can’t have a little peace here, a wedge of justice there, and expect it to last. Justice and peace are zero-sum realities. It’s all or nothing. I’m a pretty nice person, and I’m sure you are. We don’t mean any harm and we actually do good from time to time. Yet the boiling cauldron of history tells us our niceness is no guarantee that our little path through life will be kindly and smooth. Pain and hate are the lethal symptoms of the disease of injustice, and our world is sickened with it. It has to be healed to make way for the Lord. We have to insist on justice, to pray for it and vote for it, to march and speak for it, to use our spending power and our closest relationships to build a just world where the Kingdom can come. Otherwise, what are we waiting for? (thoughts and reflection by Alice Camille). God bless you, Fr. Scott

DONOVAN CATHOLIC NEWS

S.T.R.E.A.M. Week at Donovan Catholic. All classes directed their focus on the school-wide theme, Let’s Do Something Beautiful for the Earth “One Bottle” at a Time! S.T.R.E.A.M.

Examples of what a few classes did: Religion: focused on the Catholic Social Teachings as it related to Pope Francis’ Laudato Si Physics: built recyclable bins our of plastic bottles Chemistry: tested our beach sand for plastic by-products Psychology: researched studies on BPA’s in plastic and their relationship to various health concerns. Mathematics: calculated their families personal use of plastics and water consumption over a 24 hour period, then estimated and graphed usage for a week, month, year. Art: designed innovative sculptures from plastic bottles. Lord, the light I choose to let into my life this week grows bright with trust in you.

. . . . . . . MENSAJE DEL PARROCO . . . . . . . Mis queridos feligreses, . . . . El tiempo de adviento nos recuerda que esperamos en una esperanza alegre. . . Esperamos en la venida de nuestro Salvador, Jesús. Las historia de adviento . definen muchas llegadas; como los bebés concebido de una mujer ya muy . . mayor, y a otra sin experiencia, para que disfruten un grande privilegio. Un . . bautizador de ojos salvajes aparece exigiendo que la gente cambie de . dirección. Un curandero llamado Jesús llega en la escena; él es la hacha puesta .. en cada raíz de cada árbol. Finalmente, el espíritu de dios desciende para vivir . . en corazones dispuestos a recibirlo. . . . . Bebés, un bautizador, una hacha, y un espíritu llameante han llegado y . hicieron su marca indeleble en la historia. La pregunta permanence; Qué es lo . . que ustedes y yo esperamos en esta temporada de adviento? Qué más puede . . convencernos de que el mundo está maduro para la estación de la justicia? A . . veces parece que la historia se está estancando. Hemos hecho avances en la . . tecnología, pero no estoy seguro de que tengamos gente más inteligente. A . pesar de una población que cada vez es más educada, aún no estamos tan . . cerca de un mundo de paz y justicia que cuando el profeta Isaías imaginó en . . su reino pacífico (la primera lectura de hoy) hace casi tres milenios. . . . . Los lobos de este planeta todavía están fuera para conseguir los corderos. El . ternero todavía vive en el terror mortal del león. Si el bebé juega cerca de la . . guarida de la cobra, será mordido con seguridad. Este no es un lugar seguro, . . este mundo de nuestra invención. Está lleno de odio debido a un largo legado . . de sufrimiento y injusticia. Hasta que no se produzca la sanación, hasta que . . todas las familias estén seguras en sus hogares y nadie sea un juego justo . debido al género, color, origen étnico, religión o orientación, ninguno de . nosotros puede vivir en paz. Esa es la verdad. No puedes tener un poco de paz .. . aquí, una porción de justicia allí, y esperar que dure. La justicia y la paz son .

cero realidades. Es todo o nada.

Soy una persona muy agradable, y estoy seguro de que ustedes también lo son. No queremos hacer ningún daño y en realidad hacemos el bien de vez en cuando. Sin embargo, el caldero hirviente de la historia nos dice que nuestra amabilidad no es garantía de que nuestro pequeño camino a través de la vida será amable y suave. El dolor y el odio son los síntomas letales de la enfermedad de la injusticia, y nuestro mundo está enfermo con ella. Tiene que ser sanado para dar paso al Señor. Tenemos que insistir en la justicia, orar por ella y votar por ella, marchar y hablar por ella, usar nuestro poder de gasto y nuestras relaciones más cercanas para construir un mundo justo donde el Reino pueda venir. De lo contrario, qué estamos esperando? (Pensamientos y reflexión de Alice Camille). Dios te bendiga, Fr. Scott
