Dear Community of St. Augustine,
Querida comunidad de San Agustín,
“Advent, a New Beginning” was the topic of our
Morning of Reflection for the Liturgical Ministers.
I want to thank EVERYONE who participated and
helped last Saturday, the 19th of November. We will
have another opportunity to gather with those who
were not able to attend, to review the liturgical policy of our Parish.
Indeed, Advent is a new beginning. It marks the beginning of a new Liturgical Year of the church.
It marks the beginning of a new cycle
– Cycle A – for the Scripture Readings,
and with it, the reading of a new Gospel – the Gospel according to St. Matthew. It marks the beginning of our
preparation to celebrate Christmas
once again. And it marks the beginning of a new journey for those who
have not received the Sacraments of
Initiation already, as they are accepted
into the Catechumenate at a Mass
which will be celebrated the First Sunday of Advent, November 27th, at 11:00
AM.
This Sunday, the readings of the Word
of God invite us to be prepared for the
coming of the Lord, since we do not know when it
will happen. Today’s Gospel tells us, “at an hour
you do not expect, the Son of Man will come.”
“Adviento, un Nuevo Comienzo” fue el tema de
nuestra Mañana de Reflexión para los Ministros Litúrgicos, quiero darles las gracias a TODOS los que
participaron y ayudaron el pasado Sábado, 19 de
Noviembre. Para aquellos ministros que no pudieron participar tendremos otra oportunidad para reunirnos, y repasar nuevamente las normas litúrgicas de nuestra parroquia.
Efectivamente, el Adviento es un nuevo comienzo.
Comenzamos un nuevo Año Litúrgico
en nuestra Iglesia. Comenzamos a leer
un nuevo Evangelio para el Ciclo A, el
Evangelio según San Mateo. Comenzamos a prepararnos para celebrar nuevamente la Navidad. Aquéllos que no
han recibido los Sacramentos de Iniciación Cristiana comienzan un nuevo
camino, una nueva etapa, al ser aceptados al Catecumenado. Esta celebración tendrá lugar en la Misa de las
11:00 de la mañana de este primer Domingo de Adviento.
My dear brothers and sisters, what do we have to
do in order to be ready for that day? St. Paul gives
us a few good advices in his Letter to the Romans:
“Let us stop doing the things that belong to the
dark (meaning sin), and let us take up weapons for
fighting in the light. . . . take up the weapons of the
Lord Jesus Christ . . .’ (Romans 13:12-14).
Advent is a great opportunity to come to receive the
Sacrament of Reconciliation and prepare ourselves,
with our hearts free from sin, to receive the Lord
who always comes to our lives. A great time to do
this will be next Thursday, December 1st, at our Advent Penance Service, which will take place at 6:30
PM. On that day, several priests will come to assist
me in listening to your confessions.
This Sunday, as we bless our Advent Wreath and
begin to light the candles – one each Sunday, let us
ask the Lord to help us to prepare and to be witnesses of His ligt!
With love in Christ,
Las lecturas de la Palabra de Dios para
este Domingo nos invitan a estar preparados para la venida del Señor, pues no sabemos
cuándo sucederá. El Evangelio de hoy nos dice, “a
la hora que menos piensen viene el Hijo del Hombre.”
Hermanos, ¿Qué tenemos que hacer para estar listos para ese día? En su Carta a los Romanos, San
Pablo nos da unos buenos consejos: dejemos las
obras de las tinieblas (es decir el pecado) y revistámonos con las armas de la luz. San Pablo lo recalca: revístanse más bien, de nuestro Señor Jesucristo (Romanos 13: 12-14).
Adviento es un tiempo oportuno para acercarse a
recibir el Sacramento de la Reconciliación. Así estamos preparados con un corazón libre de pecado
para recibir al Señor que siempre viene a nuestra
vida. Una buena oportunidad para esto será el próximo Jueves, 1º de Diciembre, a las 6:30 de la tarde.
Ese día tendremos varios sacerdotes disponibles
para escuchar confesiones.
Al bendecir la Corona de Adviento este primer Domingo e ir encendiendo cada Domingo una nueva
vela, pidamos al Señor que nos ayude a estar preparados y a ser testigos de Su luz.
Con amor en Cristo,
Fr. Tomás

Our First Grade Faith Formation students expressed their thanks to God in many different languages for the month
of November. “W e Thank God for All Our Blessings” was their message this month.
Thank you to Christine Pendarvis, Maria Paulovich, Jean Elliott, and Andrea Schuermann Catechists for Grade 1.
“The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for
one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you
did for me.’ Matthew 25:40
Kindergarten through grade 8 students –
Remember to bring in your Christmas Stocking
donations by November 29 & 30. On December
6 and 7 each classroom will fill Christmas
Stockings for Seminole County Friends of
Abused Children. As we conclude THE YEAR OF
MERCY, let us join in this ADVENT effort for
“the least of these brothers and sisters.”
Thank you!
Apologetics and New
Evangelization Classes
“How to Understand, Explain, Defend and
Share the Catholic Faith”
A Quick Journey Through the Bible is an
excellent way to build interest in adult faith
formation. This simple, accessible program uses the Bible
Timeline learning system to give people a useful framework from which to read and understand the Bible.
We will take a chronological walk through the Bible story
in a way that reveals God’s plan for His Creation; what
went wrong at the beginning; and how God worked
through history to reconcile his lost children to Himself
while building His kingdom. This class starts on December 2nd at 6:00 pm in the Good Counsel Room.
Learn how to explain your faith clearly, defend it charitably, and share it confidently by attending these classes on
Friday evenings from 6:00 pm to 7:30 pm in the Good
Counsel Room. For additional information, please contact Jorge Medina, at the Adult Faith Formation office,
407-695-3262 ext. 105, [email protected]
“Y
el Rey les dirá: ‘En verdad os digo que cuanto hicisteis a
unos de estos hermanos míos más pequeños, a mí me lo
hicisteis.” Mateo 25:40
Estudiantes de Jardín de Infantes hasta el 8vo
grado – Recuerden traer sus donaciones para
los Calcetines Navideños en o antes del 29 y 30
de noviembre. El 6 y 7 de diciembre cada clase
llenara los Calcetines Navideños para los Amigos de Niños Abusados del Condado Seminole.
Al acercarse el final del AÑO DE LA MISERICORDIA, unámonos en este proyecto de ADVIENTO para los “hermanos míos más pequeños”.
Clases de Apologética y
Nueva Evangelización
“Cómo Entender, Explica, Defender y
Compartir la Fe Católica”
Un Rápido Recorrido por la Biblia es un
excelente modo de fomentar el interés en
la formación de la fe de los adultos. Este
simple y accesible programa utiliza el sistema de aprendizaje de Línea de Tiempo de la Biblia con la idea de ofrecer una estructura útil desde la cual partir para leer y
entender la Biblia. Se hará un recorrido cronológico a lo
largo de la historia bíblica, revelando así el plan de Dios
para su Creación, aquello que sale mal al comienzo y cómo Dios obra a través de la historia para reconciliar a sus
hijos perdidos con él mismo mientras construye su reino.
Esta clase comienza el 2 de diciembre de 2016 a las 7:30
pm. en el Salón el Buen Consejo. Aprenda a explicar su
fe claramente, a defenderla caritativamente, y a compartirla confiadamente asistiendo a estas clases los viernes de
7:30 pm a 9:00 pm en el salón el Buen Consejo.
