3 Dear friends, Today we begin the great Season of Advent that time of the liturgical year when we actively prepare to celebrate the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ in our lives and in our world in a new way. This Advent will be a special one because it marks the beginning of the Holy Year of Mercy. The Holy Year of Mercy actually begins on December 8, 2015 the Feast of the Immaculate Conception and the 50 th anniversary of the closing of the Second Vatican Council. What is important is that we take seriously receiving and sharing God s mercy as much as we can this year. We can do this by: Going to the Sacrament of Reconciliation or Confession regularly. This Sacrament is the doorway to God s mercy. Celebrating Mass every Sunday, if not daily. Learning and practicing the Corporal Works of Mercy: feed the hungry; give drink to the thirsty; clothe the naked; shelter the homeless; visit the sick; ransom the captive; and bury the dead. Learning and practicing the Spiritual Works of Mercy: instruct the ignorant; counsel the doubtful; admonish sinners; bear wrongs patiently; forgive offences willingly; comfort the afflicted; and pray for the living and the dead. Praying the Chaplet of the Divine Mercy every day. I pray that our compassionate God bless you with his divine mercy in a special way during this holy year. Yours in Christ, Fr. Joseph Shea ANNOUNCEMENTS: Today, First Sunday of Advent: The celebration of the Sacrament of the Anointing of the Sick at all Mass. Friday, December 4 & Saturday, December 5: Join us for our first Apologetics Conference that will be held here in St. Rose of Lima Church. We will be having nationally renowned speakers joining us. Please see the back of the bulletin. December 8, the Feast of the Immaculate Conception: (Holy Day of Obligation) begins the Holy Year of Mercy. Monday, December 7, Vigil Mass 5:30pm; Tuesday, December 8: 6:00, 8:30am, 12:00noon, 5:30 and 7:00pm (Spanish) The parish will be producing a calendar, listing all the events by which we hope to celebrate and experience the Mercy of God in our lives in this coming year. Stay tuned. December 12, Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, 4:30am Las Mañanitas Mass followed by fellowship and reception in the hall.

Also, this Sacrament is reserved for those who are chronically ill, have serious illness, or who are going into surgery soon, or who are senior citizens, or who struggle with drug or alcohol problems or battle extreme depression or other mental problems.

And the prayer of faith will save the sick man, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he be in sins, they shall be forgiven him. (James 5:14-15)

Volunteer as a Catechist Aide for one of our faith formation classes. This qualifies as a year-long service project and satisfies your service requirement for the entire year. Remember, all Confirmation Candidates are invited to join Youth Ministry for Sunday Life Nights, Catholic Say What, XLT, and all other YM events Continue to check the bulletin, the Parish website, or visit us on Facebook (St Rose of Lima Faith Formation) for information. Is not too late to enroll...our next session will be on Thursday, December 13. The conflicts of the early Christians in Corinth are in many ways similar to our struggles today as Christians. They, too, witnessed division, scandal, immorality, persecution and other trials. In response, St. Paul taught the Corinthians about the Church as the Body of Christ, introducing them to the most powerful gift of all: the Eucharist. Join us for the Bible study of First Corinthians at St. Rose of Lima School in room 8 at 7:00pm and continuing every Thursday. For more information or to register for the study, please contact Dr. Neil Fanning, DDS, facilitator, at: fanning@pacbell.net FOUNDATIONS IN LITURGY Come hear Fr. Bill s Dynamic and exciting presentation of the origins and biblical foundations of the Sacraments, God s gifts to bestow his grace on us in a profound way. No class on Tuesday December 1 No class on Saturday December 5 Attendance at the prior sessions is not necessary to be able to fully understand and or participate in this class. We look forward to seeing you at either the Tuesday or Saturday session. Questions? Please contact Annette Cecil at Why are some RCIA participants dismissed in the middle of the Mass? This Sunday, at one of the morning Masses, those adults and children preparing to be baptized into the Catholic Church, and those preparing for full communion will be dismissed at the end of the Liturgy of the Word. This will continue each Sunday until Easter when, at the Easter Vigil, those who are ready will join us at the Table of the Eucharist for the first time. The parish is not sending them out because they are somehow unworthy to stay for the Liturgy of the Eucharist. Though they cannot yet come to the table of the Eucharist, Mother Church still has an obligation to feed those who have entered into a relationship with her through the Rite of Acceptance and Welcoming which was celebrated recently. God s Word is their only food during this period. Instead, the participants depart from the Mass with one or more RCIA team members, to discuss the Mass readings for that Sunday and to experience more fully the impact of the Scriptures in their lives. This time is known as Reflection on the Word. All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the one who belongs to God may be complete, equipped for every good work. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)

Take a time out to communicate Sometimes, kids need a place to go where they can say what they want, and they won t be immediately punished or have to deal with a negative reaction. It s important to make sure your child has such a space or time after dinner conversations, an ice cream spot, riding home from school where they can tell you what s on their mind, good or bad, and you can just listen and discuss, without taking the instant parental approach. If your children feel safe talking to you openly, you are better equipped to notice and handle any red flags in their lives. For a copy of the VIRTUS article Modeling Good Communication, jvienna@la-archdiocese.org. Sabia Usted? Tome un tiempo para comunicarse Algunas veces los niños necesitan un lugar donde puedan ir y decir lo que quieran, y donde no serán castigados inmediatamente o donde tengan que lidiar con una reacción negativa. Es importante asegurar que su hijo o hija tenga tal espacio o tiempo, que puede ser después de las conversaciones de la cena, un lugar donde vaya a comer helado, o el trayecto de la escuela a la casa, donde él o ella puedan decirle lo que piensan, bueno o malo, y que usted sólo pueda escucharlos y discutir, sin tomar ninguna decisión inmediata. Si sus hijos se sienten seguros al platicar con usted abiertamente, usted estará mejor equipado/a para notar y manejar cualquier dificultad en sus vidas.

9 Queridos amigos, Hoy comenzamos el gran Tiempo de Adviento-esa e poca del an o litu rgico, cuando nos preparamos activamente para celebrar el nacimiento de nuestro Salvador, Jesucristo en nuestras vidas y en nuestro mundo de una manera nueva. Este Adviento sera uno especial porque marca el comienzo del An o Santo de la Misericordia. El An o Santo de la Misericordia en realidad comienza el 8 de diciembre 2015, la Fiesta de la Inmaculada Concepcio n y el 50 aniversario de la clausura del Concilio Vaticano II. Lo que es importante es que tomemos en serio el recibir y compartir la misericordia de Dios lo mas que podamos este an o. Sugerencias para hacerlo: Ir al Sacramento de la Reconciliacio n o Confesio n con regularidad. Este sacramento es la puerta de entrada a la Misericordia de Dios. Asistiendo a Misa todos los domingos, y si se puede todos los dıás. Aprender y practicar las Obras de Misericordia Corporales: alimentar a los hambrientos; dar de beber al sediento; vestir al desnudo; refugio a los desamparados; visitar a los enfermos; rescate del cautivo; y enterrar a los muertos. Aprender y practicar las obras de misericordia espirituales: instruir a los ignorantes; aconsejar a la dudosa; amonestar a los pecadores; soportar sufrir con paciencia; perdonar las ofensas de buen grado; consuelo a los a ligidos; y rezar por los vivos y los muertos. Orar la Coronilla de la Divina Misericordia todos los dıás. Rezo para que nuestro Dios misericordioso los bendiga con su divina misericordia de modo especial durante este an o santo.
