"Therefore every tree that does not bear good fruit will be
cut down and thrown into the fire." John the Baptist
meant business. He proclaimed a serious message of
change and conversion in words that, today, might earn
him the label of a "hellfire and brimstone" preacher. But
he was more than a preacher; he was a witness to
repentance. Indeed, he must have been a sight to behold
draped in his penitential garb, nibbling on his locusts and
honey. Anyone who heard him preaching must have
taken notice, even if they didn't take heed. If nothing else,
John the Baptist surely got people's attention.
But will he get ours? Because we've heard this story
before, we might be inclined to glaze over its inherent
drama. He urges us, "Repent, for the kingdom of heaven
is at hand!" This is the moment! Now is the time! Advent
especially reminds us to examine our lives and renew our
commitment to Christ. As John the Baptist put it, we are
called to "produce good fruit as evidence" of our
repentance.
True conversion reveals itself outwardly. When our hearts
change, our actions do too. Charity replaces criticism.
Forgiveness replaces anger. Service replaces selfishness.
This marks the difference between a "tree" that is firmly
rooted in Christ, and one that's only good for a pile of
firewood. "Even now the ax lies at the root of the trees."
This Advent, may we feel the urgency of John's words
and get about the serious business of repentance.

Preparing for Christ
Advent Reflection Evening
It is easy to get caught up in the hectic preparation and
rush of the Christmas season. Advent is about taking the
time to meditate and reflect, requiring us to slow down, if
only for an evening. In the spirit
of the Advent season,
please join us on December 17th from 5:30 – 8:00 in the
church hall. We will share a meal and explore the topic,
“Joseph, dreamer, spouse & father”. For more
information please contact Jennyfher Briseno at
882-4362, or by email at faithdirector@stlouisnashua.org;
or email Rick Desmarais at deacon@stlouisnashua.org.
Mañanitas to Our Lady of Guadalupe
Come and join us to sing “Las Mañanitas” to Our Lady of Guadalupe on Thursday, December 12th from 5:00am to 6:30am.
Refreshments will be served after the celebration in the Church Hall.

We Need Your Help at Christmas Masses
After each Christmas mass this year we will
be giving out copies of an inspirational book
about a couple's journey to a deeper
understanding of the Catholic faith. It is our
hope that this book will help anyone who
takes the time to read it, discover anew the rich heritage
that is our shared faith and more deeply appreciate the
wonder of this amazing gift of faith.
We would like to have at least three people available after
each mass to help distribute these books and extend warm
greetings to those who come to our parish for this special
Holy Day. There will be two masses on December 24th
(4:00-English & 7:00-Spanish) and two masses on
December 25th (Midnight Mass & 10:00-English).
If you are interested in helping after one of the masses,
please contact Susan Simard by email at
stlouisbiblestudies@gmail.com or call the rectory at
882-4362. Thank you!
No matter how we say it, we appreciate all you have
done this year to help our parish. Without your
generosity our mission would remain just a dream. Yet,
our mission is not complete and we can always use your
prayers and support. If you are planning to make
additional charitable gifts this year, consider our parish.
Also, please keep our parish in your prayers.

2º Domingo de Adviento
En este segundo domingo de Adviento, la figura de Juan Bautista
anuncia lo que debemos de verdaderamente atender: el llamado a la
conversión y la proximidad de y con Dios. El centro de la
celebración se centra en la siguiente frase: "Arrepiéntanse, porque el
Reino de los cielos está cerca" (Mt 3, 2). Juan, como todos los
profetas, no habla de sí mismo sino que anuncia a Dios. El ejemplo
de su vida manifiesta la credibilidad de su misión. La conversión
significa abrirse a Dios, lo cual Juan entendía muy bien. Él sabía que
seguirlo no sería fácil. De hecho, encuentra la muerte más adelante
por denunciar el mal. Veamos: ¿qué área de nuestra vida requiere la
conversión? ¿En qué parte debemos de abrirnos al Señor?
El Adviento es un tiempo preciso para dar fruto. Juan plantea la
conversión comunitaria: su llamado es plural y la responsabilidad es
de todos. La conversión conlleva el saber cómo preparamos y vivir
el deseo de nuestro encuentro con Dios. Y bien, la conversión y el
cambio son un constante llamado a nuestra vida espiritual. Este
llamado es serio y de inmediatas consecuencias: si la llamada al
arrepentimiento no es escuchado y si no damos fruto abundante en
nuestra vida diaria, corremos el riesgo de ser arrojados al fuego. Las
lecturas de hoy nos invitan a encontrar un desierto donde podamos
contemplar profundamente al Único. Dejemos pues al Espíritu que
habita en nosotros dar abundante cosecha de bondad y esperanza.
¡Ánimo! Dios está cerca. Preparemos nuestro corazón esta semana
haciendo un poco de silencio. Así daremos crédito a la invitación de
conversión de los profetas Isaías y Juan Bautista.
¡Necesitamos su Ayuda en las Misas de
Navidad!
Después de cada misa de Navidad de este año se va a
repartir copias de un libro inspiracional para ayudar a las
parejas a obtener una comprensión más profunda de la fe
católica. Esperamos que este libro sirva de ayuda a todo
aquel que se tome el tiempo de leerlo para que pueda
descubrir de nuevo la rica herencia que es nuestra fe y, más
aún, que pueda apreciar las maravillas de este asombroso
don de la fe.
Nos gustaría tener por lo menos tres personas después de
cada misa para ayudar a distribuir estos libros y extender
un caluroso saludo a los que vienen a nuestra parroquia
para este día tan especial. Habrá dos misas el 24 de
diciembre (4:00pm y 7:00pm-Inglés-español) y dos misas
el 25 de diciembre (Misa del Gallo y 10:00am-Inglés).
Si usted está interesado en ayudar después de una de las
misas, por favor póngase en contacto con Susan Simard
por correo electrónico a stlouisbiblestudies@gmail.com o
llame a la rectoría al 882-4362. ¡Gracias!
