MERRY CHRISTMAS Merry Christmas to you and your family! Whether you are with us every day at Mass, visiting our parish for the first time, or are a member of the parish who we see only occasionally, we welcome you and are happy you joined us for our Christmas Mass. You are always welcome and are always a part of our parish family as together we strive to have the light of Christ Jesus shine in us. I pray you can find some time today and this week to recognize the “reason for the season.” It is proclaimed in the second chapter of Luke’s Gospel: “Do not be afraid, for behold I proclaim to you good news of great joy…For today a Savior is born for you who is Christ the Lord.” Our God of all creation chose to be one among us, not as a full grown, powerful king, but as a helpless infant born in poverty. To appreciate the meaning of Christmas I think we first have to acknowledge that we need a savior. We have to recognize that there are places in our life that are broken and in need of healing. Take some time this week of Christmas to imagine that you are in Bethlehem and in the cold stable with Mary and Joseph as they tend to their new Son. Listen to the Angels as they say to the shepherds “do not be afraid.” Give the Lord praise and homage and honestly tell Him your needs. Christmas is a time for family and friends but most especially a time to rejoice in the Birth of Our Savior. Take a moment this week and imagine being in the cold stable with the baby Jesus. Whisper a quiet prayer to Jesus and tell Him your needs. Allow Jesus, our new born King, to save you. Merry Christmas to you and your Family, Fr. Vince and all the clergy and staff of Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish PS...The Christmas collection is an important source of income for our Parish. You are always so generous. Thank you for your continued support.

FELIZ NAVIDAD ¡Feliz Navidad para usted y su familia! Ya sea que esté con nosotros todos los días en la misa, o visite nuestra parroquia por primera vez, o ya sea un miembro de la parroquia a quien vemos solo ocasionalmente, les damos la bienvenida y nos alegra que se haya unido a nosotros para nuestras misas de Navidad. Siempre serán parte de nuestra familia parroquial, ya que juntos nos esforzamos para que la luz de Cristo Jesús brille en nosotros. Pido para que encuentren tiempo hoy y esta semana para reconocer la "razón de la temporada". Se proclama en el segundo capítulo del Evangelio de San Lucas: "No temas, porque te anuncio buenas noticias de gran alegría ... Porque hoy nace para ti el Salvador que es Cristo, el Señor”. Nuestro Dios de toda la creación eligió ser uno entre nosotros, no como un rey adulto y poderoso, sino como un niño indefenso nacido en la pobreza. Para apreciar el significado de la Navidad, creo que primero debemos reconocer que necesitamos un salvador. Tenemos que reconocer que existen nuestros lugares en nuestra vida que están heridos y con necesidad de sanación. Tómese un tiempo esta semana de Navidad para imaginarte que estás en Belén y en el frío establo con María y José mientras cuidan a su Hijo. Escuche a los Ángeles como les dicen a los pastores: "No tengan miedo". Denle al Señor alabanza y gloria y honestamente dígale cuáles son sus necesidades. La Navidad es un momento para la familia y los amigos, pero especialmente para regocijarse en el nacimiento de nuestro Salvador. Tómese un momento en esta semana e imagina estar en el establo frío con el niño Jesús. Con su voz suave haga una oración y Jesús y dígale a Él sus necesidades. Permita que Jesús, nuestro Rey recién nacido, le salve. Feliz Navidad para usted y su familia, Padre Vicente, el clero y todo el personal de la parroquia de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe PD ... La coleccta en Navidad es una fuente importante de ingresos para nuestra parroquia. Siempre son muy generosos. Gracias por continuar siempre apoyandonos.

Confirmation classes for adults in our parish who were never confirmed will begin in January, in preparation for our Parish

Confirmation which we expect will be celebrated by Bishop Sullivan in March. We recognize that for many reasons there are

some Catholics who have been Baptized and made their First

Holy Communion never received the Sacrament of Confirmation. If that is you, or a person you know, do not be

embarrassed, we hope to help you complete your Sacraments of Initiation and allow the Holy Spirit to help you even more in your

life. If you want more information about Adult Confirmation Classes please call Father Adam in the parish office at

856-627-2222.

Holy Spirit, come into our hearts.
