FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT DECEMBER 21, 2014 Mass Intentions Today’s Gospel Reflection 1st Reading: 2 Sm 7:1-5, 8b-12, 14a, 16 * Ps 89:2-5, 27, 29 * 2nd Reading: Rom 16:25-27 * Gospel: Lk 1:26-38 ECHOING MARY’S DECISION The angel Gabriel today confronts Mary with a mystery. The mystery of salvation in Christ is not a mystery that is solved, but a reality beyond our comprehension that we must choose to enter into. In the liturgy of the Eastern Church, everyone waits to see if Mary will enter into the mystery: God waits, Adam and Eve and all the souls of the dead who long for paradise wait, angels wait for new heavenly companions. And there is much rejoicing when her decision is “yes.” We have less dramatic choices offered to us, but the mystery of our salvation in Christ is by no means “solved.” We may understand it a bit better due to Mary’s “yes.” We may be a bit closer to it through the passion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. But it still remains a mystery to which we all must give our own “yes.” Soon we will be singing “O come, let us adore him.” May our Advent prayer, our echo of Mary’s “yes,” continue then, so we may enter into the mystery of our salvation in Jesus Christ, God among us.

S. Paluch Co. El ángel Gabriel hoy le presenta a María un misterio. El misterio de salvación en Cristo no es un misterio que se pueda resolver, sino una realidad más allá de nuestro entendimiento en la cual nos decidimos a participar. En la liturgia de la Iglesia Oriental, todos esperan para ver si María participará en el misterio: Dios espera, Adán y Eva y todas las almas de los muertos que anhelan el Paraíso esperan, los ángeles esperan tener nuevos compañeros celestiales. Y hay gran regocijo cuando su decisión es un “sí”. A nosotros se nos ofrecen opciones menos dramáticas, pero el misterio de nuestra salvación en Cristo de ningún modo queda “solucionado”. Puede que ahora lo entendamos un poco mejor gracias al “sí” de María. Puede que estemos un poco más cercanos a él mediante la pasión, muerte y resurrección de Jesucristo. Pero un misterio al cual todos debemos dar nuestro propio “sí”. Ya pronto estaremos cantando “Venid y adoremos”. Que nuestra oración de Adviento, a imitación del “sí” de María, continúe para que podamos participar en el misterio de nuestra salvación en Jesucristo, Dios-con-nosotros. 5:00pm 7:00am 8:30am 10:00am 11:30am 1:00pm 4:30pm † Norma & † Emy Marty CONTINUAL CHRISTMAS A good conscience is a continual Christmas. —Benjamin Franklin READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Tuesday: Wednesday: Thursday: Friday: Saturday: Sunday: 1 Sm 1:24-28; 1 Sm 2:1, 4-8abcd; Lk 1:46-56 Mal 3:1-4, 23-34; Ps 25:4-5ab, 8-10, 14; Lk 1:57-66 2 Sm 7:1-5, 8b-12, 14a, 16; Ps 89:2-5, 27, 29; Lk 1:67-79 Vigil: Is 62:1-5; Ps 89:4-5, 16-17, 27, 29; Acts 13:16-17, 22-25; Mt 1:1-25 [18-25] Night: Is 9:1-6; Ps 96:1-3, 11-13; Ti 2:11-14; Lk 2:1-14 Dawn: Is 62:11-12; Ps 97:1, 6, 11-12; Ti 3:4-7; Lk 2:15-20 Day: Is 52:7-10; Ps 98:1-6; Heb 1:1-6; Jn 1:1-18 [1-5, 9-14] Acts 6:8-10; 7:54-59; Ps 31:3cd-4, 6, 8ab,16bc, 17; Mt 10:17-22 1 Jn 1:1-4; Ps 97:1-2, 5-6, 11-12; Jn 20:1a, 2-8 Sir 3:2-6, 12-14 or Gn 15:1-6; 21:1-3; Ps 128:1-5 or Ps 105:1-6, 8-9; Col 3:12-21 [12-17] or Hb 11:8, 11-12, 17-19; Lk 2:22-40 [22, 39-40] ST.

Religious Education Buena Algoso (619)470-2292 GOD’S WORD TODAY Today’s readings ask us to make a home for God within our hearts. Listen carefully to the Gospel. Initially, Mary’s reaction to Gabriel’s astounding revelation is one of fear—“She was greatly troubled at what was said.” As believers, we are called to the same kind of faith exhibited by Mary and, like her, our initial response might be one of fear. A central reason that Mary is held in such high esteem in our tradition is her response to Gabriel’s message—“May it be done to me according to your word.” She is the model for all believers. She made a home within her heart for the Son of God. We are asked to do the same. As we stand at the threshold of Christmas, may we allow God’s word to open our hearts, making a receptive home there for Christ the Lord. From Saint Margaret Sunday Missal, copyright © J. S.
