Third Sunday of Advent
PASTOR’S CORNER
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
We have passed the mid-way point of Advent. We continue to prepare for
the coming of the Lord. How is your journey going? We turn to the Gospel
of Matthew, to make sure we are going the right way.
John the Baptist had been preparing the way of the Lord, proclaiming,
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand!” (Matthew 3:2) John said
that the one coming after him would, “Baptize with the Holy Spirit and
fire. His winnowing fan is in his hand. He will clear his threshing floor and
gather his wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable
fire.” (Matthew 3:11-12)
Now John the Baptist was in prison and had heard about the ministry of
Jesus. John wanted to make sure Jesus is the Savior. He sent disciples to ask
Jesus, “Are you the one who is to come or should we look for another?”
(Matthew 11:3) Jesus responded, “Go and tell John what you hear and see:
the blind regain their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, the deaf
hear, the dead are raised, and the poor have the good news proclaimed to
them.” (Matthew 11:5) Most likely when John got this message he recalled
the prophesy of Isaiah, “Then will the eyes of the blind be opened, the ears
of the deaf be cleared; then will the lame leap like a stag, then the tongue
of the mute will sing.” (Isaiah 35:5-6)
Jesus praises John, telling the crowd that he is more than a prophet, “This
is the one about whom it is written: Behold, I am sending my messenger
ahead of you; he will prepare your way before you.” However as great
as John the Baptist is, Jesus says, “The least in the kingdom of heaven is
greater than he.” (Matthew 11:10-11)
Jesus wants us to be with him in the kingdom of heaven. If we want to
know what we need to do to get there, read Matthew 25. When Jesus comes
again in his glory, all the nations will be assembled before him and he
will separate them as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, with
sheep on his right and goats on his left, “Then the king will say to those on
his right, “Come, you who are blessed by my Father. Inherit the kingdom
prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and
you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and
you welcomed me, naked and you clothed me, ill and you cared for me,
in prison and you visited me … Amen I say to you, whatever you did for
one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me.” (Matthew 25:31-46)
John the Baptist cries out to us as he cried out to the people of long ago,
“Prepare the way of the Lord.” We prepare for the Lord when we live our
faith. We live our faith when we reach out and help those that are most
vulnerable and in need. Remember what you do for one of these least ones
you are doing for our Lord Jesus Christ. What you do not do for one of
these least ones, you are not doing for Christ.
Are you ready for the coming of the Lord?
Holy See Appoints
Father Timothy Freyer
Auxiliary Bishop for the
Diocese of Orange
Bishop-elect Timothy Freyer,
current Vicar for Priests in the
Diocese of Orange, has been
appointed by Pope Francis as
Auxiliary Bishop for the Diocese
of Orange, assisting Bishop Kevin
Vann. The date of his episcopal
ordination will be January 17, 2017.
"I am both humbled and honored
to accept this appointment," said
Fr. Freyer. "I am grateful to Pope
Francis and to Bishop Vann for
their trust and confidence in me
and I pray that I may live up to
their expectations. In addition to
my gratitude to the Holy Father
and Bishop Vann, I am also grateful
to Bishops Brown and Luong for
their friendship and affection over
these past years."
In his new role, Bishop-elect
Freyer says he will assist Bishop
Vann in any way he can, including
continuing to develop the diocese's
new pastoral plan. He will also
continue to focus on evangelization,
including creating experiences,
ministries and structures that will
bring people closer to Christ.
Please pray for Bishop-elect
Timothy Freyer as he makes this
significant and historic transition.

RETIREMENT FUND
FOR RELIGIOUS
December 10-11
Across the United States,
hundreds of religious
communities lack financial
resources sufficient to meet
the retirement and healthcare needs of aging members.
Many elder religious worked
for years for small stipends,
leaving a large gap in retirement
savings. At the same time, fewer
religious are able to serve in
compensated ministry. By 2026,
it is projected that religious past
age 70 will outnumber those
under age 70 by nearly four
to one. Like many Americans,
religious communities face
the monumental challenge of
funding elder care. Roughly
95 percent of donations to the
Retirement Fund for Religious
directly aid senior religious and
their communities. Please be
generous.
ROSARY & BENEDICTION
This third week of Advent is Gaudete
Sunday. This is approximately
midway in our journey of expectancy
of the Lord’s being made flesh and coming among us. This Sunday is
marked by the use of rose-colored vestments, the lighting of the rosecolored candle and a new Invitatory; the Church no longer inviting the
faithful to adore merely “The Lord who is to come,” but calling upon us
to worship and hail with joy “The Lord is now nigh and close at hand.”
The expectation and anticipation of the season is further emphasized by
the spirit of the liturgy and the constant alleluias throughout Advent.
After Guadete Sunday, the liturgy of the fourth week of Advent returns
to the solemnity of the season and moves us into even deeper prayerful
preparation for our Lord’s coming.

O' Antiphons
WHAT ARE THE O’ANTIPHONS?
The O’Antiphons refer to the seven antiphons that are recited or chanted
preceding the Magnificat during vespers of the Liturgy of the Hours.
They cover the special period of Advent preparation known as the Octave
(8 days) before Christmas, December 17–23, with December 24 being
Christmas Eve and vespers for that evening being for the Christmas Vigil.
The exact origin of the O’Antiphons is not known, however they are
believed to have come into use at a Benedictine abbey in France around
the 5th century. By the 8th century, they began to be used in liturgical
celebrations in Rome. They are a magnificent theology that uses ancient
biblical imagery drawn from the messianic hopes of the Old Testament to
proclaim the coming Christ as the fulfillment not only of Old Testament
hopes, but present ones as well and embodies the longing of all for the
Divine Messiah.
The importance of the O’Antiphons is twofold: each one highlights a
title for the messiah: O Wisdom, O Lord, O Root of Jesse’s stem, O Key
of David, O Radiant Dawn, O King of Nations, and O Emmanuel (God
is with us), thus referring to the prophecy of Isaiah of the coming of the
Messiah. During Advent, we are encouraged to make the connections
between these ancient prayers and our contemporary life.
December 17
O Wisdom of our God Most High, guiding creation with power and love:
come to teach us the path of knowledge!
December 18
O Leader of the House of Israel, giver of the Law to Moses on Sinai:
come to rescue us with your mighty power!
December 19
O Root of Jesse’s stem, sign of God’s love for all his people:
come to save us without delay!
December 20
O Key of David, opening the gates of God’s eternal Kingdom:
come and free the prisoners of darkness!
December 21
O Radiant Dawn, splendor of eternal light, sun of justice:
come and shine on those who dwell in darkness and in the shadow of
death.
December 22
O King of all nations and keystone of the Church:
come and save man, whom you formed from the dust!
December 23
O Emmanuel, our King and Giver of Law:
come to save us, Lord our God!

God, we journey with you,

tempting offers of the world.
Keep our hearts aflame with
the hope of Christmas, and
the promise of a Savior.

A SPECIAL CHRISTMAS
GIFT from
ST BONAVENTURE PARISH
This Christmas, St. Bonaventure
Parish is giving you the
opportunity to increase your Joy
& Peace with a special gift.
The book Resisting
Happiness by
N e w Yo r k Ti m e s
best-selling author
Matthew Kelly
will be given to
every family at all
Christmas Masses. Matthew Kelly
has dedicated his life to helping
people become the-best-versionof-themselves. We all know the
things that will make us happy,
but we don’t always do them.
Why? We’re resistant.
With his signature combination
of the profound and the practical,
Matthew Kelly helps you learn
why we sabotage ourselves,
feel overwhelmed, set aside our
dreams, and lack the courage to
simply be ourselves ... and how
to start choosing happiness again.
Resisting Happiness will inspire
you to break through resistance so
you can become the-best-versionof-yourself® and start living with
passion and purpose.
The hardest war to win is a war
you don't even realize you are
fighting. Every day you are at
war with resistance. —Matthew
Kelly

Phúc Âm: Mt 11, 2-11
Tin Mừng Chúa Giêsu Kitô theo Thánh Matthêu.
Khi ấy, Gioan ở trong ngục nghe nói về các việc làm của
Chúa Kitô. Ông sai môn đệ đến thưa Ngài rằng: "Thầy có
phải là Ðấng phải đến chăng, hay chúng tôi còn phải đợi
Ðấng nào khác?" Chúa Giêsu bảo họ: "Hãy về thuật lại cho Gioan những gì các ông
nghe và thấy: người mù được thấy, người què đi được, người phong hủi được khỏi,
người điếc được nghe, người chết sống lại, và tin mừng được loan báo cho kẻ nghèo
khó; và phúc cho ai không vấp ngã vì Ta".
Khi những người được sai đến đã đi rồi, Chúa Giêsu liền nói với đám đông về Gioan
rằng: "Các ngươi đi xem gì ở hoang địa? Một cây sậy phất phơ trước gió ư? Vậy các
ngươi đi xem gì? Một người ăn mặc lả lướt ư? Nhưng những người ăn mặc lả lướt thì ở
nơi cung điện nhà vua. Vậy các ngươi đi xem gì? Một tiên tri ư? Phải, Ta bảo các
ngươi, và còn hơn một tiên tri nữa. Vì có lời chép về ông rằng: "Này Ta sai sứ thần Ta
đi trước mặt con, để dọn đường sẵn cho con". Ta bảo thật các ngươi, trong các con
cái người nữ sinh ra, chưa từng xuất hiện một ai cao trọng hơn Gioan Tẩy Giả; nhưng
g
g nước trời còn cao trọng
ọ g hơn ông".
