A NEW ORDER
“O, Little Town of Bethlehem.” A Philadelphia clergyman
named Phillips Brooks penned these popular words back
in the mid-1800s, but the prophet Micah could have used
them first. Micah knew that from small packages great
treasures come. In today’s first reading, he knew that from
tiny Bethlehem would come the Lord.
The writer in Hebrews explains that Christ came to us
to do the will of God by establishing a new order and by
becoming our perfect sacrifice. And Luke tells us that
Elizabeth and John, the infant in her womb, understand that
great and wondrous things are at hand with the coming of
the Lord.
This is the Fourth Sunday of Advent. Soon we celebrate
anew the fruit of Mary’s womb. As we are told in Hebrews,
Jesus’ new order is being established even today. And as
Micah proclaims, his greatness is reaching even now to the
ends of the earth. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
TODAY ’S READINGS
First Reading — From you, Bethlehem, shall come forth one
who is to be ruler in Israel. (Micah 5:1 4a).
Psalm — Lord, make us turn to you; let us see your face and
we shall be saved (Psalm 80).
Second Reading — By Christ doing the will of God, we have
been consecrated (Hebrews 10:5 10).
Gospel — “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the
fruit of your womb” (Luke 1:39 45).

Pope Francis’ Prayer for the Year of Mercy
Lord Jesus Christ,
you have taught us to be merciful like the heavenly Father, and have told us that
whoever sees you sees Him.
Show us your face and we will be saved.
Your loving gaze freed Zacchaeus and Matthew from being enslaved by money;
the adulteress and Magdalene from seeking happiness only in created things;
made Peter weep after his betrayal, and assured Paradise to the repentant thief.
Let us hear, as if addressed to each one of us, the words that you spoke to the
Samaritan woman: “If you knew the gift of God!”
You are the visible face of the invisible Father,
of the God who manifests his power above all by forgiveness and mercy:
let the Church be your visible face in the world, its Lord risen and glorified.
You willed that your ministers would also be clothed in weakness in order that they may feel compassion for
those in ignorance and error: let everyone who approaches them feel sought after, loved, and forgiven by God.
Send your Spirit and consecrate every one of us with its anointing, so that the Jubilee of Mercy may be a year
of grace from the Lord, and your Church, with renewed enthusiasm, may bring good news to the poor, proclaim
liberty to captives and the oppressed, and restore sight to the blind.
We ask this through the intercession of Mary, Mother of Mercy, you who live and reign with the Father and the
Holy Spirit for ever and ever.
Amen.
“...at the name of Jesus every knee should bend
of those in heaven, and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord.”
Philippians 2:10-11

Prepared and filled with joy.

Amen
Dimanche 20 Décembre 2015 - Quatrième Dimanche de l’Avent - Année C
En ce dernier dimanche de l’Avent, la liturgie nous invite
à remonter à la source de notre vie de chrétiens : nous ne
sommes pas encore au jour de la naissance du Christ,
mais déjà nous le contemplons qui remplit Élisabeth de
l’Esprit-Saint et déjà nous nous réjouissons avec celle qui
a cru les paroles du Seigneur.
L’Église nous invite à entrer dans la grande semaine
précédant la naissance virginale et dans le temps du
Seigneur-Jésus. L’Épouse Mystique, comme une fiancée
toute parée pour son Époux, compte maintenant avec
impatience les heures d’attente pour pouvoir embrasser
avec joie le Désiré des nations qui a été porté pendant
9 mois dans le sein très pur de la Vierge Marie, ce
Tabernacle vivant de Dieu. L’Évangile de ce 4ème
Dimanche (pour la forme ordinaire) nous invite justement
à méditer sur notre Mère du Ciel. Ce que Dieu a accompli
en la Vierge Marie par une grâce prévenante, il veut
maintenant l’accomplir en nous par une grâce purifiante.
« Que les cieux répandent la rosée et que les nuées
pleuvent le Juste. Que s’ouvre la terre et que germe
le Sauveur. Les cieux racontent la gloire de Dieu, et le
firmament publie l’ouvrage de ses mains.
@copyright 2015 - Notre Dame des Neiges Blog
Qu’est-ce qu’un Jubilé ou une année
sainte ? C’est une période privilégiée
décidée par l’Eglise sur le modèle
de ce qui s’est vécu dès l’Ancien
Testament. Elle est une invitation
à mieux vivre l’essentiel et à nous
tourner davantage vers Dieu. Elle
consonne avec un temps de joie, de
repos et de liberté avec le Seigneur.
Elle ouvre à l’expérience d’un rythme
de vie mieux accordé à celui du
Seigneur. Toute l’Eglise reçoit ce
temps comme une bénédiction.
La tradition des années saintes
remonte au jubilé de l’an 1300 promulgué par le Pape Boniface
VIII pour célébrer l’anniversaire de l’Incarnation. Depuis lors,
tous les 25 ans, s’ouvre une année sainte à Rome. La tradition
s’enracine dans l’institution des jubilés en Israël pendant lesquels
les terres mises en gage sont rendues à leur propriétaire, les
dettes sont remises, les esclaves libérés. Pendant l’année sainte il
s’agissait d’exprimer en acte et en parole l’œuvre de grâce que le
Seigneur accompli pour apporter le salut à son peuple : remettre
la dette de son péché, apporter la libération à son esclave, lui
redonner la joie de louer son Seigneur.

20 de Diciembre de 2015 - Cuarto Domingo de Adviento - Año C
UN ORDEN NUEVO
“Oh, pequeña aldea de Belén”; un clérigo de
Filadelfia llamado Phillips Brooks escribió este popular
villancico a mediados de los 1800, pero el profeta Miqueas
hubiera podido hacerlo primero. Miqueas sabía que el tesoro
grande viene en estuche pequeño. En la primera lectura de
hoy, él sabía que del pueblito de Belén vendría el Señor.
El escritor de la carta a los hebreos explica que Cristo
vino a nosotros para hacer la voluntad de Dios de establecer
un nuevo orden y ser un sacrificio perfecto. Y Lucas nos dice
que Isabel y Juan, el pequeño en sus entrañas, comprenden
que grandes maravillas han llegado con la venida del Señor.
Este es el Cuarto Domingo de Adviento. Mañana
celebramos de nuevo el fruto de tu vientre, María. Como se
nos dice en Hebreos, el nuevo orden de Jesús se está creando
hoy mismo. Y como proclama Miqueas, su grandeza llega
ahora mismo hasta los confines de la tierra.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Esta semana recordamos a los niños judíos que
fueron asesinados por orden del Rey Herodes en
Belén. Esa tragedia que ocurrió cuando el viejo y
celoso rey se enteró del nacimiento de un nuevo
rey de los judíos. Él mandó a matar a todo niño que
tuviera menos de dos años. El llanto de las familias
que perdieron sus pobres inocentes se ha convertido
en risas en varios países latinoamericanos. El 28 de
diciembre en muchas partes es conmemorado como
el día de los inocentes que viene siendo el April Fools
Day de Latinoamérica. En ese día se hacen bromas
para burlarse de los amigos. Si la broma funciona al
pobre que fue engañado se le llama “inocente”.
La inocencia normalmente se atribuye a los niños
o a los ingenuos, pero en si la inocencia es una virtud
cristiana, de los que hemos sido perdonados por
Cristo. Esta inocencia no es ingenuidad mas bien es la
candidez, simplicidad y generosidad de una persona
que conoce bien lo duro que es la vida y aún así
mantiene la esperanza.
