Prayer for Advent
Wednesday, December 3, 2025
All-powerful God,
increase our strength of will for doing good
that Christ may find an eager welcome
at his coming and call us to his side in the kingdom of heaven,
where he lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit one God, forever and ever. Amen.
Oración de Adviento
Dios todopoderoso,
aumenta nuestra fuerza de voluntad para hacer el bien,
para que Cristo encuentre una cálida acogida en su venida
y nos llame a su lado en el reino de los cielos,
donde vive y reina contigo y el Espíritu Santo,
un solo Dios, por siempre para siempre. Amén.
Summoned By God
Tuesday, December 16, 2025
As Christmas draws near, Advent’s scriptures lure us into a world of dreams, signs, wonders, and the miracle of the virgin birth. Too often we allow the great stories of our faith, the ones that are most familiar, simply to wash over us. Today’s Gospel account of the events leading up to the birth of the Lord reads like a present-day soap opera. Yet Joseph’s courage, even in the midst of what must have been an incredibly confusing time, provides a model for us. Each week, we are summoned by God to embrace the way of goodness and truth through the proclamation of God’s holy word.
Like Joseph, we are called to do as the Lord commands us. As we stand at the threshold of Christmas, let us have the courage to be open to whatever it is that the Lord will require of us as we celebrate the miracle of Bethlehem.
Llamados Por Dios
Al acercarse la Navidad, las Escrituras del Adviento nos llevan a un mundo de sueños, señales, maravillas y el milagro del nacimiento de una virgen. Muchas veces dejamos que los grandes relatos de nuestra fe, los que son más conocidos, simplemente nos pasen sin sentirlos. El relato del Evangelio de hoy sobre los acontecimientos previos al nacimiento del Señor parece una telenovela actual. Sin embargo, la valentía de José, aun en medio de una época que debe haber sido increíblemente confusa, nos brinda un modelo a seguir. Cada semana, Dios nos llama a aceptar el camino de la bondad y la verdad por medio de la proclamación de la Palabra sagrada de Dios.
Como José, somos llamados a hacer lo que el Señor nos ordena. Mientras estamos en el umbral de la Navidad, tengamos la valentía para estar abiertos a lo que sea, a lo que el Señor requiera de nosotros durante nuestra celebración del milagro de Belén.

Becoming a godparent/sponsor in the Catholic Church +
Thursday, April 8, 2021
Being chosen as a godparent for baptism is an honor, for the godparent traditionally becomes a spiritual companion to the one being baptized in a journey of faith.
Please decide if your faith life makes you ready to publicly pledge that you have been leading a life in harmony with the Catholic tradition. Godparents should be both role models and resource persons, individuals who are at ease with the practice of their faith and would normally be considered as "active Catholics." They should be people who are comfortable with answering questions about their personal relationship with God as experienced in the Catholic Communion, even if they are unsure of all the technicalities. Godparents should be people who are interested in and will continue to spiritually support the "godchild" in the years ahead.

El ser escogido como padrino de bautismo es un honor; tradicionalmente el padrino se convierte en la compañía espiritual de quien ha sido bautizado en el camino de la fe. Por favor decida si su vida de fe lo hace estar preparado para que prometa públicamente que ha estado llevando una vida en armonía con la tradición Católica.
Los Padrinos deben cumplir el rol los modelos y personas reservadas que están cómodos con la practica de su fe y normalmente serian considerados como “Católicos activos.” Ellos deben ser personas que se sientan cómodos con las preguntas acerca de sus relaciones personales con Dios como las experimentadas en la Comunión Católica, aunque no estén seguros de todos los detalles.
