St. John the Baptist

The Solemnity of Jesus Christ the King

Season of Promise, Season of Hope “In the cold dark of winter, I found within myself an eternal spring.” I do not recall who wrote those words, or even if I am remembering them perfectly, but the author’s sentiment has stayed in my mind over many years. For me they capture the season of Advent, which begins next week. In New England, Advent always begins as the days are getting darker and colder. Sometimes I wonder what it’s like to celebrate Advent in the Southern Hemisphere where the opposite is happening! Advent brings hope through the promises we hear in the scriptures, from Isaiah, through John the Baptist, and culminating in the words and the person of Jesus Christ. Although weather wise this is not my favorite time of year, I am very fond of this liturgical season. Here at Saint John’s people devoted to our worship help us enter into the hope and promise of Advent through careful attention to such details as color and sound. Let me invite you to join us in any or all of the special events that make it worthwhile for you and me to leave the comfort of our homes to find a deeper warmth in our parish church. To begin with, there is simply the beauty of our Advent liturgies every Sunday. Each Mass begins with the lighting of the advent candles. We invite you and members of your family to volunteer to do this at Mass. There is a sign up sheet or you can call Deacon Leo Martin at the parish center. Each Advent Sunday concludes with sung Evening Prayer. We sing psalms, listen to scripture and hear a personal reflection by a member of the community. The quiet, subdued tone of Advent is broken by one very special feast that speaks to all of us who call ourselves “Americans” of one sort or another: whether we are citizens of the United States or Canada (North America) or one of the many countries of Latin America. If you haven’t heard the story of Our Lady of Guadalupe, patroness of the Americas, you should. You will be amazed by the miracle which still intrigues both the believer and the skeptic who gaze upon the tilma, a peasant’s cactus cloth shawl that holds an image of the Virgin. Come, join our Hispanic parishioners on Sunday, December 9, as Bishop Emilio Allué celebrates the 11:30 Mass. To help us enter into the Mass, some parts will be celebrated in English. After the Mass there will be a memorable meal and mariachi music in the school gym. Tables will be reserved for us “English speakers” so please join us. If you are like me you haven’t even begun thinking about Christmas cards and shopping but let me ask you not to forget what should really matter to us at this time of year: our Savior’s birth, the solemnity of Christmas. At the beginning of Advent you will receive our Advent-Christmas card with a schedule of all our Masses and celebrations. We will also print it in our bulletin and post in our website in case we do not have your address. I suggest you post it on your refrigerator or wherever you will look at it. Most importantly, take time in the midst of pre-Christmas craziness to join us as we remember the reason for the season: the Lord Jesus. He has come in time; it is his birth we remember at Christmas. He comes to us when we gather in his name; it is the Eucharist which makes him truly present to us. And he will come again in glory; this is the promise which we await at the end of time, his promise that gives us hope for our everyday life.

St. John the Baptist

The Solemnity of Jesus Christ the King

Tiempo de promesa, tiempo de esperanza “En el frío y oscuro invierno, encuentro dentro de mi una eterna primavera.” No recuerdo quien escribió estas palabras, tampoco si las recuerdo exactamente, pero los sentimientos del autor han permanecido en mi mente por muchos años. Para mi ellas capturan el tiempo de adviento, que comienza la próxima semana. En Nueva Inglaterra, el Adviento empieza cuando los días comienzan a ser más oscuros y más fríos. Algunas veces me pregunto ¡que es celebrar el adviento en el sur del hemisferio donde sucede lo opuesto! El adviento trae esperanza a través de las promesas que escuchamos en las escrituras, desde Isaías, hasta Juan el Bautista, y culminando con las palabras y la persona de Jesucristo. A pesar de la sabiduría del clima, este no es mi clima favorito durante el año. Yo estoy muy encariñado con este tiempo litúrgico. Aquí en St. John la gente devota a nuestro culto nos ayuda a entrar dentro de la esperanza y la promesa del Adviento a través de una cuidadosa atención de aquellos detalles de color y sonido. Permíteme invitarte a compartir con nosotros uno o todos los eventos especiales que hacen que valga la pena tanto para ti como para mí el dejar la comodidad de nuestras casas para encontrar una profunda cordialidad en nuestra iglesia parroquial. Para empezar, está la simpleza en la belleza de nuestra liturgia de Adviento cada domingo. Cada misa comienza con el encendido de las velas de la Corona de Adviento. Te invitamos a ti y a los miembros de tu familia a ser voluntarios y realizar esto en misa. Hay un papel para firmar o puedes llamar a Ana Rodríguez al centro parroquial. Cada domingo de Adviento concluye con el canto de la oración de la tarde. Cantamos salmos, escuchamos la escritura y atendemos a una reflexión personal de los miembros de la comunidad. El callado y tenue tono del adviento es roto por una fiesta muy especial que nos llama “Americanos” a todos nosotros ya seamos de un lugar u otro: tanto si somos ciudadanos de los Estados Unidos o de Canadá (Norte América) o de uno de los muchos países de Latinoamérica. Si tú no has escuchado la Historia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, patrona del Continente Americano, deberías conocerla. Te asombrarás del milagro que continúa intrigando tanto a los creyentes como a los escépticos quienes mantienen su mirada fija en la tilma un manto hecho del material de un tipo de cactus que mantiene la imagen de la Virgen. Ven, disfruta con nuestros parroquianos hispanos el domingo 9 de diciembre, en el que el Obispo Emilio Allué celebrará la misa de las 11:30am. Para ayudar a involucrarnos en la misa, algunas partes serán celebradas en inglés. Después de la misa habrá una comida memorable y música de mariachi en el gimnasio de la escuela. Habrá mesas reservadas para nosotros “hablamos inglés” así que por favor acompáñanos. Sí eres como yo ni siquiera has comenzado a pensar acerca de las tarjetas de Navidad y las compras pero déjame pedirte no olvides lo que realmente nos interesa en este momento del año: el nacimiento de nuestro Salvador, la solemnidad de la Navidad. Al principio del Adviento recibirás nuestra tarjeta de Navidad con el horario de todas nuestras misas y celebraciones. En caso de que no tengamos tu dirección, también la imprimiremos en el boletín e incluiremos en nuestra página del Internet. Te sugiero la pongas en el refrigerador o donde la puedas ver. Lo más importante, toma un tiempo en medio de la locura de la pre-Navidad para disfrutar con nosotros el como recordamos la razón de esta temporada: El Señor Jesús. El ha venido en el tiempo; es su nacimiento el que recordamos en Navidad. El viene a nosotros cuando nos reunimos en su nombre; es la Eucaristía la que Lo hace verdaderamente presente en nosotros. Y el vendrá nuevamente en gloria; ésta es la promesa que esperamos para el final de los tiempos, su promesa -que nos da esperanza para nuestra vida diaria.

“OTRO PARÉNTESIS”. “El ser Humano sufre no por ley divina; SUFRE debido a la ignorancia, es decir, debido a su -Inconsciencia-. No se interesa por conocer las -Leyes Espirituales- y -se estrella- en lugar de SEGUIRLAS EN LA VIDA. Si , entonces ‘Trata con Amor a los Demás’. Si conoces de la Ley de la Abundancia no acumulas: compartes y das sin esperar RECIBIR. Si aplicas la Ley de la UNIDAD= ves a DIOS en TODOS y construyes ‘Hermandad’ en lugar de ‘Enfrentar’. Cuando aceptas la Ley de la Polaridad: Armonizas los extremos y Valoras las Diferencias. Todas estas LEYES las ‘VIVE el que ama de CORAZÓN’ porque el AMOR= ABARCA todas las LEYES. ”.
