Mass Intentions
Today’s Gospel Reflection
1st Reading: Is 11:1-10 * Psalm 72:1-2, 7-8, 12-13, 17 *
2nd Reading: Rom 15:4-9 * Gospel: Mt 3:1-12
WONDERS
The normal response to a surprise
is amazement, gratitude, and delight. By
definition, we don’t anticipate surprises.
Their occurrence reminds us that we
cannot always guess or shape the future. Granted, we do what we can do; we attend to the daily
tasks, as we must. For grace is surely here in the mundane,
and God is in the details. But God is in the happy surprises, too.
Today’s readings are filled with startling developments. We
hear the clarion cry of one of those rare prophets announcing
the coming of the Lord. Isaiah proclaims startling, surprising
images of the nearly impossible reconciliation of opposites: calf
and lion, leopard and young goat, child and serpent. Isaiah’s
vision sees all of these creatures living in harmony. This is Eden
again; this is paradise. It is God’s.

“The earth shall be filled with knowledge of the LORD,
as water covers the sea.” — Isaiah 11:9
MARAVILLAS
La reacción normal frente a una sorpresa
es asombro, gratitud y deleite. Por definición,
las sorpresas no suelen anticiparse. Cuando
ocurren, nos damos cuenta que no siempre
podemos adivinar o moldear el futuro. Por
supuesto, hacemos cuanto podemos;
llevamos a cabo nuestras tareas diarias como es nuestro deber. La
gracia está ciertamente aquí en la esfera de lo mundano y Dios está
en los detalles. Dios está también presente en las gratas sorpresas.
Las lecturas de hoy están repletas de asombrosas
novedades. Es el clamor de la trompeta de uno de esos
extraordinarios y únicos profetas anunciando la llegada del Señor.
Isaías revela asombrosas y sorprendentes imágenes de la casi
imposible reconciliación de los contrarios: el lobo y el cordero,
el puma y el cabrito, el niño y la serpiente. La visión de Isaías
muestra todas esas criaturas viviendo en armonía. Esto es
de nuevo el Edén; esto es el paraíso. Esto es la sorpresa y la
promesa de Dios.

CONCLUSION OF THE “YEAR OF FAITH”
ST. MICHAEL CHURCH
PARADISE HILLS, SAN DIEGO
Pastor’s Message
Dear Parishioners and friends,
Reflecting on God’s Word—Second Sunday of Advent. John the Baptist’s cry reaches
out to us on this Second Sunday of Advent: “Prepare the way of the Lord.” How do we recognize the
way of the Lord? Isaiah gives us a glimpse of this way. When this reading is proclaimed at Mass today,
allow the richness of its imagery to transport you to God’s holy mountain, where we catch sight of the way of
the Lord. This reading is the very definition of the way of peace and justice that is the kingdom of God.
Once again, we must express our sadness and lament the fact that our weary world seems to be so far from the way of the Lord.
Justice is not something that floats “out there,” waiting for some prophetic types to address it. Injustice occurs in our families, in
our companies, in our churches, and in our relationships. Let today’s scriptures inspire us to recognize the injustice that
surrounds us and to do something to address it. Come, Emmanuel! - From Saint Margaret Sunday Missal, copyright © J. S. Paluch Company
Living God’s Word: There is a spirit of real hopefulness about these scriptures. Have they inspired hope in you?
How can you express confidence in others this week? How can you inspire hope in those whom you care about
most? - Copyright © 2013, World Library Publications. All rights reserved.
**************************************************************

SECOND SUNDAY OF ADVENT
DECEMBER 08, 2013
Blessings from St. Michael Academy to the St. Michael Parish Community!
Advent is here, and, we are waiting. At the Academy, we wait, and watch, for the
coming of the Baby Jesus. We pray that our focus is in the preparation for His
coming and that our lives may be enriched by prayer and in service to others.
Advent
Enrollment/registration is an ongoing process at St. Michael Academy. We are a
Kindergarten through 8th Grade school. You are invited to call the office and schedule a tour of the
Academy. If you think it is too expensive to send your child to a Catholic school, consider the high cost of
regret in not sending your child to a Catholic school. Give us an opportunity to show you how the cost of
your child’s Catholic education can fit in your budget. Call 619 470-4880, or e-mail Mrs. Lewis @

Yours in Christ,

The Paring Bukidnon and the Padres Cantantes in concert
with special participation by the St. Michael combined choir.
Remember and pray for the
souls of your love ones by
securing a plaque at our
memorial wall located at the
Garden of the Innocents.
For $500.00 donation,
a 4”x8” plaque with their
names will forever be part
of the garden, and, at the
same time, help the parish in accomplishing its mission.
Interested? Please call the office at 619-470-1977.
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle. Be our
protection against the wickedness and
snares of the devil. May God rebuke
him, we humbly pray; and do Thou,
O Prince of the Heavenly Host - by the
Divine Power of God - cast into hell,
Satan and all the evil spirits, who roam
throughout the world seeking the ruin
of souls. Amen.
