Third Sunday of Advent
Las Posadas begins
St. Peter Canisius; Winter begins
Third Sunday of Advent
Weekend of December 14/15, 2013
From the loneliness of his prison cell John the
Baptist asks of Jesus: “Are you the one who is to
come, or should we look for another?” The weeks
before Christmas offer much to be joyous about,
celebrating with family and friends, the glitter of
seasonal decorations, the excitement of gift giving
and receiving. But in our midst there are the lonely
and neglected, the poor, the hospitalized, the
wayward, the shut-ins. There are those seemingly
without hope. To whom should they look?
Discipleship in the Lord includes being good
stewards of others. Are there those in our family,
our neighborhood, our community to whom we can
reach out to show them a sign of Christ’s presence
in their midst?

Third Sunday of Advent
December 15, 2013
Those whom the LORD has ransomed will return
and enter Zion singing,
crowned with everlasting joy.
— Isaiah 35:10a
PERSPECTIVE
A mountain shames a molehill until they both are humbled by the stars.
We make transitions along life’s journey, and
search for meaning. Watch an infant take those first
wobbly steps. Inevitably they are toward the arms
of a dear one, and the gleeful smile and wordless
laughter let us know that the baby understands that
the whole world is renewed in an instant. Parents
may see that wide‑eyed smile again some years
later as they flip car keys in the teenager’s direction, and by God’s grace at in‑between moments of
forgiveness and affirmation.
Sacraments open a window to the blessings
of everyday life and help us claim their deep meaning. A voice from a fiery bush warned Moses to
take off his shoes because he stood on “holy
ground.” Your first steps, your first word, taking
your place at the family table, stirring to new love,
forgiving and being forgiven: all of this is holy,
laden with meaning, full of possibilities. Sacraments are not escape pods from the realities of the
everyday; rather they invest us ever more deeply in
life and recruit us for the kingdom inaugurated by
Jesus. We take baby steps all our life long. In the
world of sacrament, they are always directed toward the arms of a loving God, and always on the
common holy ground of a community’s life.

—Old adage
Living Stewardship Now
“We must wait for God, long, meekly, in the wind and wet, in the thunder and lightning, in the cold and the
dark. Wait, and he will come. He never comes to those who do not wait.” —F.W. Faber (1814–1863)

Primer día de las Posadas

¿A QUÉ SE PARECE EL AMOR?
El amor tiene manos para ayudar a los demás.
El amor tiene pies para ir junto a los necesitados y los
pobres.
El amor tiene ojos para ver la miseria y la pobreza.
El amor tiene oídos para escuchar los lamentos de los
hombres.
A eso es lo que se parece el amor.
—San Augustín
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
La tradición mexicana de las Posadas se
acompaña de las tradicionales piñatas. Aunque hay
piñatas de animales y caricaturas, la piñata original
es una estrella con siete picos.
La piñata llegó al continente con los misioneros
agustinos procedentes de España, mismos que la
habían recibido de italianos; y éstos, a su vez, la
obtuvieron de Marco Polo quien conoció
decoraciones de animales coloridos en China. El
asociar la piñata con las Posadas viene de la cultura
Náhuatl quienes celebraban a Huitzilopochtli (dios
de la guerra) del 17 al 26 de diciembre. Estos
ponían cazuelas de barro decoradas con listones y
plumas sobre palos en el templo. Al romperlas,
tesoros y alhajas caían a los pies de su dios.
Los misioneros mezclaron las dos costumbres
para la catequesis. La estrella de siete picos
representa al diablo y los 7 pecados capitales,
mientras que la venda en los ojos es la fe en Cristo.
El acto de pegarle a la piñata son nuestros
esfuerzos cristianos a pesar de las desorientaciones
que trae la vida. Romper la piñata es estar bañado
con la gracia del Espíritu Santo y recibir los dones
de Dios.

WHY IS IT
A man wakes up after sleeping
under an ADVERTISED blanket
on an ADVERTISED mattress
and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas
bathes in an ADVERTISED shower
shaves with an ADVERTISED razor
brushes his teeth
with ADVERTISED toothpaste
washes with ADVERTISED soap
puts on ADVERTISED clothes
drinks a cup
of ADVERTISED coffee
drives to work
in an ADVERTISED car
and then . . . .
refuses to ADVERTISE
believing it doesn’t pay.
Later if business is poor
he ADVERTISES it for sale.
