Veronica Kuehn Office Manager St. Charles Parish San Diego / Imperial Beach Page Two FROM THE PASTOR FR. JIM BAHASH What kind of house are you building for the Lord? In the first reading from this Sunday, the Fourth Sunday of Advent, we hear King David tell the prophet Nathan, “Here I am living in a house of cedar, while the ark of God dwells in a tent!” At first, Nathan tells David to do as he will in building a proper house for the Ark of the Covenant, God’s dwelling on earth. But then the Lord says to David, “Hey buddy, you aren’t going to build my house, I’m the one that is going to build YOUR house.” Actually, He says, “I will raise up your heir after you, sprung from your loins, and I will make his kingdom firm. I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me.” These words of God are fulfilled perfectly in the coming of his son, Jesus Christ. Today’s gospel relates how this comes to pass and how Mary becomes the dwelling of God, the new Ark of the Covenant. As the archangel Gabriel brings God’s message to Mary that he has chosen her to be the mother of Jesus, she, for her part, proclaims, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord. Be it done unto me according to your word.” With her consent the Word of God, the Second Person of the Most Holy Trinity, becomes a human like us and dwells among us. Mary was certainly a worthy dwelling for Jesus herself being conceived without sin. But it was at her “fiat”, her “yes” to God that the Word became flesh. Something similar applies to us. When we are free of sin and say “yes” to the will of God he dwells with us. In fact, he makes his home within us. Christmas is just a couple of days away and Jesus is looking for a home in which to dwell. When he came to us the first time there was no room for him at the inn. When he comes again will there be room in your heart to receive him? Like Mary let us prepare a home for him by being free of sin (confession) and saying yes to him by following all of his commandments through the teachings of his bride, the Church. CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART Christmas! ’Tis the season for kindling the fire of hospitality in the hall, the genial fire of charity in the heart. —Washington Irving READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: Tuesday: 1 Sm 1:24-28; 1 Sm 2:1, 4-8abcd; Lk 1:46-56 Mal 3:1-4, 23-34; Ps 25:4-5ab, 8-10, 14; Lk 1:57-66 Wednesday: 2 Sm 7:1-5, 8b-12, 14a, 16; Ps 89:2-5, 27, 29; Lk 1:67-79 Thursday: Vigil: Is 62:1-5; Ps 89:4-5, 16-17, 27, 29; Acts 13:16-17, 22-25; Mt 1:1-25 [18-25] Night: Is 9:1-6; Ps 96:1-3, 11-13; Ti 2:11-14; Lk 2:1-14 Dawn: Is 62:11-12; Ps 97:1, 6, 11-12; Ti 3:4-7; Lk 2:15-20 Day: Is 52:7-10; Ps 98:1-6; Heb 1:1-6; Jn 1:1-18 [1-5, 9-14] Friday: Acts 6:8-10; 7:54-59; Ps 31:3cd-4, 6, 8ab, 16bc, 17; Mt 10:17-22 Saturday: 1 Jn 1:1-4; Ps 97:1-2, 5-6, 11-12; Jn 20:1a, 2-8 Sunday: Sir 3:2-6, 12-14 or Gn 15:1-6; 21:1-3; Ps 128:1-5 or Ps 105:1-6, 8-9; Col 3:12-21 [12-17] or Hb 11:8, 11-12, 17-19; Lk 2:22-40 [22, 39-40] Our Parishioners in Poor Health; David Hines, Blanca Ramirez, Catalina Hernandez, Carla Hernandez, Jorge Romo, Matthew R.

Pastoral Letter of Marriage December 21: Marriage: Love and Life In The Divine Plan: Growing Together in Virtues “There is another way to look at growth in marriage: namely, as growth in virtue. As a couple grows in virtue, they grow in holiness. In other words, the couple acquires, by prayer and discipline, those interior qualities that open them to God‘s love and allow them to share in his love more deeply. Couples instinctively understand this when they speak about their marriage being a means of leading each other to heaven.” To read the document go to http:// www.usccb.org/loveandlife/. Page Five Cuarto Domingo de Adviento 21 de Diciembre de 2014 NOTAS DEL PASTOR PADRE JIM BAHASH ¿Qué tipo de vivienda están construyendo para el Señor? En la primera lectura de este domingo, el cuarto domingo de Adviento, escuchamos al Rey David decirle al profeta Natán: "?Te has dado cuenta de que yo vivo en una mansión de cedro, mientras el arca de Dios sigue alojada en una tienda de campaña?" Primero, Natánle dijo a David que haga lo que tiene que hacer para la construcción de una casa propia para el Arca de la Alianza, el hogar de Dios en la tierra. Pero, después el Señor le dice a David: "Oye amigo, tu no vas a construir mi casa, yo soy el que va a construir TU casa." En realidad, dice, "Engrandeceré a tu hijo, sangre de tu sangre, y consolidare su reino. Yo seré para el un padre, y él será para mi un hijo." Estas palabras de Dios se cumplen perfectamente en la venida de su hijo, Jesucristo. El evangelio de hoy se refiere a cómo esto llega a ocurrir y cómo María se convierte en la morada de Dios, la nueva Arca de la Alianza. Como el arcángel Gabriel trae el mensaje de Dios a María que él la ha elegido para ser la madre de Jesús, ella, por su parte, proclama, "yo soy la esclava del Señor; cúmplase en mí lo que me has dicho." Con su consentimiento la Palabra de Dios, la Segunda Persona de la Santísima Trinidad, se convierte en humano como nosotros y habita entre nosotros. María fue, ciertamente, una morada digna de Jesús concebida sin pecado. Pero, fue con su "Fiat", su "sí" a Dios que el Verbo se hizo hombre. Algo similar se aplica a nosotros. Cuando estamos libres de pecado y decimos "sí" a la voluntad de Dios él habita con nosotros. De hecho, él hace su casa dentro de nosotros. La Navidad está a sólo un par de días y Jesús está en busca de un hogar donde vivir. Cuando se vino a nosotros la primera vez no había lugar para él en la posada. Cuando venga de nuevo, habrá espacio en tu corazón para recibirlo? Al igual que María preparémosle una casa para él, al estar libres del pecado (confesión) y decirle sí a todo, siguiendo sus mandamientos por medio de las enseñanzas de la Iglesia, su esposa. “El Santo, que va a nacer de ti, será llamado hijo de Dios.” — Lucas 1:35 LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: Martes: 1 Sm 1:24-28; 1 Sm 2:1, 4-8abcd; Lc 1:46-56 Mal 3:1-4, 23-34; Sal 25 (24):4-5ab, 8-10, 14; Lc 1:57-66 Miércoles: 2 Sm 7:1-5, 8b-12, 14a, 16; Sal 89 (88):2-5, 27, 29; Lc 1:67-79 Jueves: Vigilia: Is 62:1-5; Sal 89 (88):4-5, 16-17, 27, 29; Hch 13:16-17, 22-25; Mt 1:1-25 [18-25] Noche: Is 9:1-6; Sal 96 (95):1-3, 11-13; Ti 2:11-14; Lc 2:1-14 Aurora: Is 62:11-12; Sal 97 (96):1, 6, 11-12; Ti 3:4-7; Lc 2:15-20 Día: Is 52:7-10; Sal 98 (97):1-6; Heb 1:1-6; Jn 1:1-18 [1-5, 9-14] Viernes: Hch 6:8-10; 7:54-59; Sal 31 (30):3cd-4, 6, 8ab, 16bc, 17; Mt 10:17-22 Sábado: 1 Jn 1:1-4; Sal 97 (96):1-2, 5-6, 11-12; Jn 20:1a, 2-8 Domingo: Sir 3:2-6, 12-14 o Gn 15:1-6; 21:1-3; Sal 128 (127): 1-5 o Sal 105 (104):1-6, 8-9; Col 3:12-21 [12-17] o Hb 11:8, 11-12, 17-19; Lc 2:22-40 [22, 39-40] ¡Done desde su teléfono!

Así como la pareja crece en virtud, crecen en santidad.
