3 December 23, Page 3 Weekly Reflection/Reflexión Semanal MEMORIES AND DREAMS Throughout our lives, we retain the language and habits of our native region and family of origin. Should we return to our home after a long absence, we quickly revert to its familiar speech and practices. Our deep memory is re lected in old stories and words and speech patterns. This familiarity runs like an underground river and accompanies us wherever we go. Not only do we remember, we are incorporated into and made part of a greater memory. In remembering and recollecting, we are in turn gathered up and re-collected. Today we remember Mary, a small igure travelling the country roads to visit Elizabeth. All the great pronouncements and dreams of the prophets point to this time when the Lord s words to Mary would be gathered and ful illed. The memories of her people are alive in her, and memories of her nourish our own living faith. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. RECUERDOS Y SUEÑOS En el curso de nuestra vida mantenemos el idioma y los ha bitos de nuestra regio n nativa y familia de origen. Cuando retornamos a nuestro hogar tras una larga ausencia, ra pidamente volvemos a su manera de hablar y a sus pra cticas familiares. Nuestros profundos recuerdos se re lejan en viejas historias y palabras y en modos de conversar. Esta familiaridad corre como un rıó subterra neo y nos acompan a a donde sea que vayamos.no solamente recordamos, sino que somos incorporados y formamos parte de una memoria ma s amplia. Cuando traemos recuerdos a la mente somos a la vez reunidos y recordados.hoy recordamos a Marıá, una joven fra gil, que recorre zonas rurales para visitar a Isabel. Todos los grandes pronunciamientos y suen os de los profetas apuntan a este tiempo en que deben cumplirse las palabras del Sen or a Marıá. Las memorias de su pueblo esta n vivas en ella, y esas memorias alimentan nuestra fe viva. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.

6 December 23, Page 6 Reading 1 MI 5:1-4A Thus says the LORD: You, Bethlehem-Ephrathah too small to be among the clans of Judah, from you shall come forth for me one who is to be ruler in Israel; whose origin is from of old, from ancient times. Therefore the Lord will give them up, until the time when she who is to give birth has borne, and the rest of his kindred shall return to the children of Israel. He shall stand firm and shepherd his flock by the strength of the LORD, in the majestic name of the LORD, his God; and they shall remain, for now his greatness shall reach to the ends of the earth; he shall be peace. Responsorial Psalm PS 80:2-3, 15-16, R. (4) Lord, make us turn to you; let us see your face and we shall be saved. O shepherd of Israel, hearken, from your throne upon the cherubim, shine forth. Rouse your power, and come to save us. R. Lord, make us turn to you; let us see your face and we shall be saved. Once again, O LORD of hosts, look down from heaven, and see; take care of this vine, and protect what your right hand has planted the son of man whom you yourself made strong. R. Lord, make us turn to you; let us see your face and we shall be saved. May your help be with the man of your right hand, with the son of man whom you yourself made strong. Then we will no more withdraw from you; give us new life, and we will call upon your name. R. Lord, make us turn to you; let us see your face and we shall be saved. Second Reading HEB 10:5-10 Brothers and sisters: When Christ came into the world, he said: "Sacrifice and offering you did not desire, but a body you prepared for me; in holocausts and sin offerings you took no delight. Then I said, 'As is written of me in the scroll, behold, I come to do your will, O God.'" First he says, "Sacrifices and offerings, holocausts and sin offerings, you neither desired nor delighted in." These are offered according to the law. Then he says, :Behold, I come to do your will." He takes away the first to establish the second. By this "will," we have been consecrated through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. Acclamation Before the Gospel R. Alleluia, alleluia. Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. May it be done to me according to your word. R. Alleluia, alleluia. Gospel LK 1:39-45 Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, "Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled."

7 Fourth Sunday of Advent Primera lectura Miq 5, 1-4a Esto dice el Señor: "De ti, Belén de Efrata, pequeña entre las aldeas de Judá, de ti saldrá el jefe de Israel, cuyos orígenes se remontan a tiempos pasados, a los días más antiguos. Por eso, el Señor abandonará a Israel, mientras no dé a luz la que ha de dar a luz. Entonces el resto de sus hermanos se unirá a los hijos de Israel. Él se levantará para pastorear a su pueblo con la fuerza y la majestad del Señor, su Dios. Ellos habitarán tranquilos, porque la grandeza del que ha de nacer llenará la tierra y él mismo será la paz''. Salmo Responsorial Salmo 79, 2ac y 3b R. (4) Señor, muéstranos tu favor y sálvanos. Escúchanos, pastor de Israel; tú que estás rodeado de querubines, manifiéstate; despierta tu poder y ven a salvarnos. R. Señor, muéstranos tu favor y sálvanos. Señor, Dios de los ejércitos, vuelve tus ojos, mira tu viña y visítala; protege la cepa plantada por tu mano, el renuevo que tú mismo cultivaste. R. Señor, muéstranos tu favor y sálvanos. Que tu diestra defienda al que elegiste, al hombre que has fortalecido. Ya no nos alejaremos de ti; consérvanos la vida y alabaremos tu poder. R. Señor, muéstranos tu favor y sálvanos. Segunda Lectura Heb 10, 5-10 Hermanos: Al entrar al mundo, Cristo dijo, conforme al salmo: No quisiste víctimas ni ofrendas; en cambio, me has dado un cuerpo. No te agradaron los holocaustos ni los Cuarto Domingo de Adviento sacrificios por el pecado; entonces dije porque a mí se refiere la Escritura : "Aquí estoy, Dios mío; vengo para hacer tu voluntad". Comienza por decir: "No quisiste víctimas ni ofrendas, no te agradaron los holocaustos ni los sacrificios por el pecado siendo así que eso es lo que pedía la ley ; y luego añade: "Aquí estoy, Dios mío; vengo para hacer tu voluntad". Con esto, Cristo suprime los antiguos sacrificios, para establecer el nuevo. Y en virtud de esta voluntad, todos quedamos santificados por la ofrenda del cuerpo de Jesucristo, hecha una vez por todas. Aclamación antes del Evangelio. R. Aleluya, aleluya. Yo soy la esclava del Señor; cúmplase en mí lo que me has dicho. R. Aleluya. Evangelio Lc 1, En aquellos días, María se encaminó presurosa a un pueblo de las montañas de Judea y, entrando en la casa de Zacarías, saludó a Isabel. En cuanto ésta oyó el saludo de María, la creatura saltó en su seno. Entonces Isabel quedó llena del Espíritu Santo y, levantando la voz, exclamó: " Bendita tú entre las mujeres y bendito el fruto de tu vientre! Quién soy yo, para que la madre de mi Señor venga a verme? Apenas llegó tu saludo a mis oídos, el niño saltó de gozo en mi seno. Dichosa tú, que has creído, porque se cumplirá cuanto te fue anunciado de parte del Señor".
