Let the Lord enter; He is king of glory. Psalm 24 Va a entrar el Señor: El es el Rey de la Gloria. Salmo 23

Our Lady of Perpetual Help Church is a Catholic community invigorated by the Word of God and the Eucharist. We are committed to: Celebrating the Liturgy and the Sacraments with renewed spirit; Nurturing our children, youths and adults in our Catholic faith; Proclaiming our love of God through social justice outreach, stewardship and parish ministries. We welcome all to grow with us in living the Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ.

FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT

PASTOR’S COLUMN Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, If God gives us the gift of humility, it is easy to see how broken and needy each one of us is. If we are to grow in our prayer life and in charity, we must face the profound truth of the terrible reality of our sin, our weakness. “Who can ascend the mountain of the Lord? Or may stand in His holy place? One whose hands are sinless, whose heart is clean …” Psalm 24:3-4 God never abandons us! He comes to us in His son. Jesus comes to us and embraces us with all our joys and miseries! “Mary … will bear a son and you are to name Him Jesus, because He will save His people from their sins …” Matthew 1:20-21 Monsignor Lorenzo Miranda

“Awake, mankind! For your sake God has become man. You would have suffered eternal death, had He not been born in time. Never would you have been freed from sinful flesh, had He not taken on Himself the likeness of sinful flesh. You would never have returned to life, had He not shared your death … celebrate!” - St. Augustine

Now four candles will light the “Advent wreath” on our way to Christmas. When you light these four candles on the last Sunday, we think of it, the Virgin, your mother and our mother. Nobody expected you with more anxiety, more tenderness, more love. No one greeted you with more joy. You will sow her like the grain of wheat is sown in the furrow. In His hands you will find the most beautiful crib. We also want to give ourselves as well: in faith, in love and at work each day. Come quickly, Lord! Come to save us!

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION CORNER NO CLASSES No meetings during the Christmas and New Year’s holidays for the Little Saints Club, Special Needs, Elementary grades 1-5, Adventure Club and Junior High grades 6, 7 and 8. Classes will be closed Sunday, December 25, Monday, December 26, Sunday, January 1 and Monday, January 2. DID YOU KNOW? Little Saints Club meets on Sundays from 11:00am-12:30pm for children 3 years through 5 year olds. Classes run September through May. Registration is open all year. The focus of The Little Saints Club is children’s Faith Formation —the process by which young children come to know God who is within them. This fun-filled class provides children a time to be with others their own age and learn the Gospel and our Catholic traditions in a way that is age-appropriate. They are introduced to the Bible and learn about the many stories of the colorful characters that are a part of our faith tradition. The children play, pray, do crafts, have music and enjoy snack together. Give your little ones a jumpstart on their faith formation as they learn about God’s wonderful world!

FAITH BUILDING OPT OUT OF THE CHRISTMAS CRAZINESS Catholics eagerly anticipate Christmas as a holy day, but the practical aspects of holiday preparations can rob us of the peace we want to enjoy. Try these suggestions for managing the Christmas Craziness: Plan perfection. Write down your idea of a perfect holiday. List everything: food, events, gifts. Is it reasonable? If so, your plan can proceed. If not, seeing it in black and white can help you pare down your expectations. Shrink your shopping list. Focus on giving to loved ones and opt out of gifting at work or to casual friends. Cook ahead. Don’t spend the holidays cooking and baking when you would rather be with those you love. Prepare simple dishes that you can prepare ahead and freeze. Decorate slowly. Advent is a quiet time of anticipation. Wait to put up Christmas decorations during Christmas Week or decorate a little at a time to build anticipation. Push back. Feeling pressured to have a particular kind of holiday? Decide what is best for you and stick to it. Growing in faith, November 2016, Copyright 2016 Success Publishing & Media, LLC

SAFEGUARD THE CHILDREN Pokémon Go stops could lead kids to dangerous places With the popular game Pokémon Go, kids can interact with virtual game components in real-life locations. Some features of the game can present serious dangers for children using the app and interacting with other gamers. “PokéStops” – locations in which players can collect Pokémon – can be anywhere, and recently, one was reported to be at the entrance of a rehabilitation center that housed sex offenders. Parents should be aware of the game’s features and monitor children’s use to ensure that any Pokémon collecting is done safely. For a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Pokémon Go and Social Networking,” email: jvienna@la archdiocese.org or call 213-637-7227. For more information, call our Parish Contact Theresa Nicholas at 562) 862-7268.

Saint Anthony of Padua

San Antonio de Padua

Saint Anthony was born Fernando Martins in Lisbon, Portugal. He was born into a wealthy family and by the age of fifteen asked to be sent to the Abbey of Santa Cruz in Coimbra, the then capital of Portugal. During his time in the Abbey, he learned theology and Latin and was ordained to the priesthood.

San Antonio nació como Fernando Martins en Lisboa, Portugal. Nació en una familia rica y a la edad de quince años, pidió ser enviado a la Abadía de la Santa Cruz en Coimbra, que era entonces la capital de Portugal. Durante su tiempo en la abadía, aprendió teología y latín y fue ordenado al sacerdocio.

Fernando eventually received permission to leave the Abbey so he could join the new Franciscan Order. When he was admitted, he changed his name to Anthony. He was assigned to the hermitage of San Paolo after local friars considered his health. Anthony spent his time praying and studying. News of his eloquence reached Francis of Assisi, who held a strong distrust of the brotherhood's commitment to a life of poverty. However, in Anthony, he found a friend. Anthony occasionally taught at the universities of Montpellier and Toulouse in southern France, but he performed best in the role of a preacher. So simple and resounding was his teaching of the Catholic Faith, most unlettered and the innocent could understand his messages. It is for this reason he was declared a Doctor of the Church by Pope Pius XII in 1946. He was only 36-years-old when he died and was canonized less than one year afterward by Pope Gregory IX. catholic.org

Fernando finalmente recibió permiso para salir de la abadía para unirse a la nueva orden franciscana. Cuando ingresó, él cambió su nombre a Antonio. Los frailes locales tomando en cuenta su estado de salud lo asignaron a la Ermita de San Paolo. Antonio pasaba su tiempo orando y estudiando. Las noticias de su elocuencia llegaron a San Francisco de Asís, que tenía una gran desconfianza acerca del compromiso del hermano a la vida de pobreza de la hermandad. Sin embargo, en Antonio, él encontró a un amigo. Antonio de vez en cuando enseñaba en las universidades de Montpellier y Toulouse en el sur de Francia, pero el se actuaba mejor como predicador. Tan sencilla y rotunda fue su doctrina de la fe católica, que los más analfabetas y los inocentes podían entender sus mensajes. Es por esta razón que fue declarado Doctor de la Iglesia por el Papa Pius XII en 1946. Tenía sólo 36 años cuando murió y fue canonizado en menos de un año después su muerte por el papa Gregory IX.

CUARTO DOMINGO DE ADVIENTO

PÁGINA 6

MINISTERIO HISPANO Queridos Hermanos y Hermanas en Cristo, Si Dios nos concede el don de la humildad, es fácil ver lo quebrantados y necesitados que cada uno de nosotros estamos. Si vamos a crecer en nuestra vida de oración y en la caridad, tenemos que enfrentar la profunda verdad de la terrible realidad de nuestro pecado, nuestra debilidad. “¿Quien puede subir al monte de el Señor? ¿Quien puede estar en el recinto sacro? El hombre de manos inocentes y de corazón puro …” Salmo 23:3-4 ¡Dios nunca nos abandona! El viene a nosotros en Su Hijo. Jesús viene a nosotros y nos abraza con todos nuestros gozos y nuestras miserias! “María … dará a luz a un hijo y tu le pondrás el nombre de Jesús, porque El salvará a su pueblo de sus pecados…” Mateo 1:20-21 Monseñor Lorenzo Miranda

“¡Despierta, humanidad! Por tu bien Dios se hizo hombre. Tu hubieras sufrido la muerte eterna, si El no hubiera nacido en el tiempo. Nunca hubieras sido liberado de la carne pecadora, si El no hubiera asumido nuestra carne pecadora. Tu nunca hubieras regresado a la vida, si El no hubiera compartido tu muerte … ¡celebra! - St. Augustine

Ahora encenderemos cuatro cirios de la “Corona de Adviento”, en nuestro camino hacia la Navidad. Al encender estas cuatro velas, en el último domingo, pensamos en ella, la Virgen, tu Madre y nuestra madre. Nadie te esperó con más ansia, con más ternura, con más amor. Nadie te recibió con más alegría. Te sembraste en ella como el grano de trigo se siembra en el surco. En sus manos encontraste la cuna más hermosa. También nosotros queremos entregarnos así: en la fe, en el amor y en el trabajo de cada día. ¡Ven pronto, Señor! ¡Ven, a salvarnos! DIRECTORIO DEL MINISTERIO HISPANO - VER LA PAGINA 8

PROTEGIENDO LOS NIÑOS Las paradas de Pokémon Go pueden llevar a los niños a lugares peligrosos Con el juego popular Pokémon Go, los niños pueden interactuar con componentes del juego virtual en lugares reales. Algunas características del juego pueden presentar serios peligros para los niños cuando usan la aplicación e interactúan con otros jugadores. Las paradas o “PokéStops”, o lugares en los que los jugadores recogen los Pokémon, pueden estar en cualquier lugar, y recientemente se reportó que uno estaba a la entrada de un centro de rehabilitación donde habitaban ofensores sexuales. Los padres de familia deben estar conscientes de las características del juego y monitorear el uso por parte de sus hijos para asegurar que cualquier colecta de los Pokémon se haga en forma segura. Para una copia del artículo de VIRTUS® “Pokémon Go and Social Networking” (Pokémon Go y las redes sociales) envíe un correo electrónico a bmelendez@la archdiocese.org o llame al (213) 637-7508.

Mensaje del Diácono Carlos

PÁGINA 7

Queridos hermanos en Cristo: La Iglesia en el Evangelio correspondiente a este domingo cuarto de Adviento, nos pone a consideración el drama que vivieron María y José antes del nacimiento de Cristo. Un drama profundo que debió hacer sangrar los corazones de ambos. José amaba mucho a María y sin haber convivido con ella, sin saber del misterio que el Espíritu Santo había obrado en el seno de la Virgen, se encontró que ella estaba encinta. El asunto era muy serio pues, además de lo que aquello suponía para su corazón de amante esposo, la ley condenaba severamente el adulterio. Pero vean lo que dice la Escritura: "Su marido José como era justo y no quería ponerla en evidencia, resolvió repudiarla en secreto" Si alguien pudiera tener derecho a juzgar seria aquel que es justo, pero como Dios no juzga y José que era justo, no quiso poner a María en evidencia, no quiso juzgarla. Uno de los dramas que muchas veces tenemos que vivir, es el causado por los juicios rápidos, y muchas veces temerarios, si como María, como objeto de tales juicios aprendamos de ella a sufrir en silencio, ofrecérselo a Dios y confiar en El que no tardará en salir en defensa de la verdad. Recordemos siempre que Dios es amor y solo donde hay caridad y amor ahí esta Dios. Bendiciones, Diácono Carlos

CRECIENDO FE Deja la locura de Navidad Los católicos anticipan con impaciencia Navidad como un día santo, pero los aspectos prácticos de los preparativos para celebrar pueden robarnos la paz que queremos disfrutar. Pruebe usar estas sugerencias para manejar la locura de Navidad: Plan de perfección. Escriba su idea de unas fiestas perfectas. Haga una lista de todo: comida, eventos, regalos. ¿Es razonable? Si es así, puede continuar su plan. Si no, verlo en blanco y negro puede ayudar a bajar sus expectativas. Reducir su lista de compras. Centrarse en dar a los seres queridos y optar por no regalar en el trabajo o amigos ocasionales. Cocinar por adelantado. No pasar las fiestas, cocinando y horneando cuando usted preferiría estar con los suyos. Preparar platos sencillos que se pueden hacer con anticipación y congelar. Decorar poco a poco. Adviento es un tiempo tranquilo de anticipación. Esperar a poner adornos navideños durante semana de Navidad o adornar un poco a la vez para crear anticipación. Retroceder. ¿Se siente presionado para tener un tipo particular de fiesta? Decide qué es lo mejor para ti y mantenerte en ello.

Dear Parishioners, Thanks to your generosity, our blood drive on Sunday, November 13, was a big success. We collected 29 units of blood from 39 people who were screened for donating. This is a 74% completion rate which is very good according to the Red Cross staff. The Red Cross staff also told us that our blood drive was the most organized they have ever seen. Many thanks to all the ministries who helped make it organized, successful and fun. Cheers to the Women's Guild, Liturgical Ministries, Teen Confirmation Program, Hispanic Ministry, School Parents, Rectory Staff and Religious Ed Program. We look forward to a bigger and better drive next Fall! Paula Mayfield Women's Guild Blood Drive Sponsor
