FR. ADRIANS CORNER

Its been almost a month since I wrote anything here in my corner. We had our Stewardship Campaign with le ers from the Pastor all through November so I decided to take a back seat. Lets hope and pray that the Stewardship Campaign makes a dierence. We need $5,000 extra a month to make up the shor all in our weekly collec ons. We have a huge Religious Educa on Program to fund. We are passing on the faith to the young and R.E. must be a priority in the life of the parish. Doing good Liturgy takes money music, cantors, instrumentalists, and our Director of Worship. Keeping the lights and air condi oning/hea ng on, bread and wine for the Eucharist, candles, laundry, and owers for the liturgical environment cost a lot. Paying the salaries of our extremely busy sta and keeping a standard of service to the people of the parish takes money. One extra dollar from everyone would make the dierence and two would enable us to pay our bills without anxiety. None of us wants cut-backs but rather we want to go forward and be even be er than we are. But it takes money.yes, money!! And not occasionally but every week! Sorry to be blunt but this is the truth. The rst Sunday of our campaign was wonderful and the response generous, but on week two we were virtually back to where we started. This will not work. Its got to be consistent in order to make a real dierence. We have an excellent Conrma on Class this year. They a end workshops at the Mission once a month and classes on Tuesday evenings at the parish. Saturday before last I cooked for 100 of them at the Mission (I must be crazy!) and there was nothing le over! I wanted our young people to experience the hospitality of our community and to understand that service is central to the vision presented by Jesus in the Gospel. What be er way than to cook a meal! Anyhow, before I get all carried away theologically let me say that I simply loved cooking for the Conrma on Class, the teachers and volunteers who accompany them and I consider it a great compliment to my culinary skills that there was nothing le and I mean nothingnada! For those interested in such things; I made a beef and hot Italian sausage ragu sauce for penne pasta with spring green salad and crusty bread. Simple, tasty and easy on our very ght budget! The holiday season is upon us and I hope that you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Thank you to everyone who contributed to the Social Concerns Food Drive at the parish. Your kindness and generosity has enabled us to look a er needy folks who experience hardship at this me of year in a par cular way. Soon it will be Advent and we will be preparing for the Incarna on the coming of Our Lord. Advent is all about wai ng and wai ng is something we have a hard me doing in our culture. Wai ng can be anxious or peaceful it can heighten the tension of an cipa on so that when Christmas nally arrives we are burs ng with delight at the promise of God fullled. I hope that your Advent will be not at all anxious or fraught with worry about what gi s to buy, what food to eat, what party to a end, but that instead it will be a me of joyful an cipa on for Jesus. The Franciscan, Murray Bodo, in his lovely book Francis, the Journey and the Dream says of Christmas: At Christmas it was the infant Christ who was born again in human hearts, and it struck St. Francis that God came to earth as a baby so that we would have someone to care for.

Christmas was the dearest of feasts because it meant that God was now one of us. Flesh of our esh and bone of our bone, this child we could approach without fear. We could be silly and uninhibited as we sought to make him laugh. We could be totally ourselves because a child accepts us as we are and screams with delight at our li le performances in his behalf. Wishing you a happy Advent of peaceful wai ng!

RECONCILIATION SERVICES AT SAN LUIS REY PARISH

There are two Reconcilia on Services during Advent at San Luis Rey Parish. Both give the opportunity to go to confession or celebrate the Sacrament of Reconcilia on, to give it its correct tle. All sacraments give grace, help from God which enables us to live the Chris an life. Reconcilia on is a sacrament of repair and renewal it oers the grace to be sorry for past wrongs and to strengthen us in our resolve to be more faithful. All Catholics are encouraged to go to confession/ reconcilia on before Christmas. Advent is a period of preparaon for the celebra on of the birth of Christ, which we call the Incarna on, the feast of Christmas. At Christmas we receive Our Lord again as if for the rst me when he became one of us in esh and blood. The Sacrament of Reconcilia on is a wonderful way to welcome Him. In Advent John the Bap st will tell us, Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight! What be er way to prepare and make straight than by confessing our sins, receiving Gods pardon and renewing our faith in Jesus, born again in our hearts this Christmas. MSLRP Reconcilia on Services Times and Dates Friday 14 December 7:00 p.m. Serra Center Saturday 15 December 10:00 a.m. Serra Center Priests from neighboring parishes will join the Franciscan Friars from the Mission/Parish for the Reconcilia on Service and Confession.

It has contemporary and tradi onal resources for your spiritual journey as we wait prayerfully for the Lord, and celebrate the coming of Christ at Christmas. Advent Light by Stephen Binz [264.1Bin]: is a thema c Scripture series designed for both personal and group discussion. Advent is a me for new understanding, for pu ng dierent pieces of Gods revela on together to see the divine plan more clearly. This volume connects the words of the ancient prophets, the stories of the birth and infancy of Jesus and the wisdom of the Christ. Fathoming Bethlehem by Bishop. Robert Morneau [264.1Mor]: provides a brief commentary on the daily reading and medita ve refrain taken from the Divine Oce that summarizes the gospel theme. In the midst of the commercial frenzy of the holiday season, this volume oers a quiet invitaon to join in the celebra on of the birth of Christ. Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany with Caryll Houselander by Thomas Homan [264.1Hou]: uses Houselanders meless vision and spiritual insight in this wonderful, luminous companion to Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany.

December 2, 2012 - First Sunday of Advent | 7

Del Escritorio de Padre Adrian

Ha pasado casi un mes desde que escrib algo. Durante el mes de noviembre tuvimos nuestra Campaa de Corresponsabilidad de nuestro Prroco as que yo decid esperar. Oremos y esperemos que la Campaa de Corresponsabilidad haga una diferencia. Necesitamos $5,000 ms al mes para compensar el dcit en nuestra colecta semanal. Tenemos un enorme Programa de Educacin Religiosa para nanciar. Nosotros estamos pasando la fe a nuestros jvenes y la Educacin Religiosa debe ser una prioridad en nuestra vida parroquial. El hacer buenas Liturgias toma dinero, msica, cantores, instrumen stas y a nuestro Director de Adoracin. Mantener las luces, el acondicionador de aire y la calefaccin encendidos, pan y vino para la Eucaris a, y las velas y ores para el ambiente cuestan mucho. Pagar el salario de nuestro personal sumamente ocupado y mantener un nivel de servicio a la comunidad de la parroquia, toma dinero. Un dlar extra de todos hara la diferencia y dos nos permi ra pagar nuestras u lidades sin ansiedad. Ninguno de nosotros quiere recortes sino ms bien seguir adelante y hasta ser mejor de lo que somos. Pero toma dinero s, dinero! Y no ocasionalmente sino cada semana! Disculpen que sea tan franco pero esta es la verdad. El primer domingo de nuestra campaa fue maravilloso y la respuesta muy generosa, pero en la segunda semana estuvimos prc camente donde empezamos. Esto no funcionar. Tiene que ser consistente para hacer una diferencia real. Nosotros tenemos una excelente Clase de Conrmacin este ao. Ellos asisten a talleres una vez al mes en la Misin An ga y a clases los martes por la tarde en el Centro Parroquial. Hace dos sbados yo cocin para 100 de ellos en la Misin (deb haber estado loco!) Y no sobr nada! Yo quise que nuestros jvenes experimentaran la hospitalidad de nuestra comunidad y que comprendieran que el servicio es central a la visin presentada por Jess en el Evangelio. Que mejor manera que cocinar una comida! De cualquier manera, antes de que me deje llevar teolgicamente, djenme decirles que simplemente me encant cocinar para la Clase de Conrmacin, los maestros y voluntarios que los acompaaban y considero que es un gran complemento para mis habilidades culinarias que no haya quedado nada y quiero decir nada! Para aquellos interesados en estas cosas; Yo cocin salchicha italiana con salsa de tomate con pasta, ensalada verde y pan. Sencillo, sabroso y cmodo para nuestro presupuesto ajustado! La temporada de estas ya est aqu y espero que hayan tenido un Da de Accin de Gracias maravilloso. Gracias a todos los que contribuyeron al Departamento de Asuntos Sociales de la parroquia para las Canastas de Accin de Gracias. Su generosidad nos permite ayudar a personas necesitadas que estn experimentando empos di ciles, en una manera par cular en este empo del ao.
Con nua en la siguiente columna...

Con nuacin

Pronto ser Adviento y nos estaremos preparando para la Encarnacin - la Venida de Nuestro Seor. El Adviento ene que ver con la espera, y la espera es algo que hacemos con dicultad en nuestra cultura. La espera puede ser de ansiedad o de paz - puede aumentar la tensin de la an cipacin para cuando al n llega la Navidad, nosotros estamos llenos de sa sfaccin por la promesa de Dios cumplida. Yo espero que su Adviento no sea de ansiedad de preocupacin sobre qu regalos comprar, qu comida comer, a qu esta ir, pero que en cambio sea un empo de alegre an cipacin por Jess. El Franciscano, Murray Bodo, en su hermoso libro Francisco, el Viaje y el Sueo dice de la Navidad: En la Navidad era el Nio Jess quien naca de nuevo en los corazones humanos, y se le ocurri a San Francisco que Dios vino a la erra como un beb para que pudiramos tener a alguien para cuidar. La Navidad era la esta ms querida porque signicaba que Dios era ahora uno de nosotros. Carne de nuestra carne y hueso de nuestro hueso, nos podamos acercar a este nio sin temor. Podramos ser absurdos y desinhibidos para tratar de hacerlo rer. Podramos ser totalmente nosotros mismos porque un nio nos acepta tal como somos y grita con alegra a nuestras actuaciones a su favor. Desendoles una espera feliz de Adviento!
