2 FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENTY DECEMBER 22, 2013 EMMANUEL To name someone or something means that we have a relationship with that entity. Family names identify us with our heritage; nicknames denote familiarity or a special bond. In the Old Testament, the meaning of a name ran deep. It identified one s mission, even one s very being. The amazing name Emmanuel was first uttered by Isaiah as he described to the frightened King Ahaz the promised one who would come to redeem the people. Emmanuel is not a frightening philosophical name, such as Omnipotent, Omniscient, Almighty. It does not connote distance and transcendence. It does not generate reverential fear. The name Emmanuel implies closeness and intimacy and compassion. Emmanuel is the name given to the one who is coming. It means God is with us. God is entrusted to the care of a virgin, who will bear this child. Only God would be so compassionate to draw so near, to be so available and vulnerable. Only God could love this well. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co. They shall name him Emmanuel, which means God is with us. Matthew 1:23 EMANUEL Nombrar a alguien o algo supone que tenemos una relación con esa persona o cosa. Los nombres de familia toman arraigo y están a nuestro alrededor; los apodos connotan familiaridad y compañerismo. En el Antiguo Testamento, el significado de los nombres posee connotaciones profundas. El nombre servía para singularizar la misión y la identidad de la persona. El maravilloso nombre, Emanuel, fue primeramente pronunciado por Isaías al describir, al asustado rey Ajaz, aquél que vendría a redimir a la humanidad. El nombre, Emanuel, no es uno de los filosóficos y atemorizantes como lo son Omnipotente, Omnisciente o Todopoderoso. El nombre no connota distancia o superioridad. No genera temor reverencial. El nombre, Emanuel, connota cercanía, intimidad y compasión. El nombre del que ha de venir es Emanuel, que significa "Dios está con nosotros". Dios es confiado a la custodia de una virgen, que parirá este niño. Sólo Dios es tan compasivo para acercarse tanto, ser tan asequible y vulnerable. Sólo Dios puede amar de este modo tan perfecto.

3 ST. MICHAEL CHURCH Dear Parishioners and friends, CONCLUSION OF THE YEAR OF FAITH Pastor s Message PARADISE HILLS, SAN DIEGO Reflecting on God s Word Fourth Sunday of Advent. For the past three weeks we have feasted at the table of the word, a table resplendent with images of the glories of the kingdom of God. Today we join our voices with the psalmist, who prays, Let the Lord enter; he is the king of glory. Christmas is only days away. As this feast of the Incarnation approaches, let us be receptive to the power of the Advent scriptures to transform us each day, more and more, into the image of the Lord Jesus. Saint Matthew reminds us that Emmanuel means God is with us. Let us welcome the presence of the king of glory, who comes to set us free. Come, Emmanuel! From Saint Margaret Sunday Missal, copyright J. S. Paluch Company Living God s Word: We ask God to continue to save us in our own day from all that would lead us away from God. We ask God to continue to help us to know Jesus as Emmanuel, God with us, so that our faith may be rooted in the wisdom and power of God. - Copyright 2013, World Library Publications.
