St. Edward Catholic Church

St. Edward Catholic Church
December 22, 2013,
For us, Christ is everything. We
begin in each day in his presence.
We are his people, from many
walks of life, and from many
nations and languages. We
adore the Lord, address him with
the psalms of our ancestors and
enter the sacred Liturgy, the
source and summit in our life in
Christ. Through our Catechetical
programs we pass on the faith
both to adults and children,
training in holiness which calls us
to a Holy life distinguished above
all in the art of prayer. Rising from
prayer we minister to the needs of
those who ask our help, with food
and other assistance. We are the
people of St. Edward Catholic
Church in Newark, California.
Christ is everything. If you have a
wound to heal, he is the doctor; if
you are in need of help, he is
strength; if you fear death, he is
life; if you desire Heaven, he is
the way; if you are in the
darkness, he is light. Blessed are
they who hope in him!
Fourth Sunday of Advent
What proves Jesus to be the true sign of God is
that he takes upon himself the contradiction of
God, He draws it to himself all the way to the
contradiction of the Cross.
We are not talking about the past here. We all
know to what extent Christ remains a sign of
contradiction today, a contradiction that in the
final analysis is directed at God. God himself is
constantly regarded as a limitation placed on our
freedom, that must be set aside if man is ever to
be completely himself. God, with his truth,
stands in opposition to man’s manifold lies, his
self-seeking, and his pride.
God is love. But love can also be hated when it
challenges us to transcend ourselves. It is not a
romantic “good feeling.” Redemption is not
“wellness”. It is not about basking in selfindulgence; on the contrary it is a liberation from
imprisonment in self-absorption. This liberation
comes at a price: the anguish of the cross.
The prophecy of light and that of the cross belong
together.

Jesus of Nazareth: the Infancy Narratives. Pg 85, 86

Reflecting on God’s Word
The Bible offers us a rich variety of men and
women who qualify as heroes, warriors, prophets, and
wise men and women. And every so often it places before
us a dreamer. Jacob had the first big dream, with that ladder connecting heaven and earth, bearing ascending and
descending angels.
His son Joseph started off with dreams that put
himself at the center, much to his brothers’ chagrin, but
later he saved himself by interpreting the dreams of others, including Pharaoh. However, the most important
dreamer of all was Joseph, spouse of Mary and foster
father to Jesus.
Joseph was asked to live out his dream. “Do not
be afraid to take Mary your wife into your home. For it is
through the Holy Spirit that this child has been conceived
in her,” he was told in a dream (Matthew 1:20). And not
only that, he was to name the child Jesus, which means
“God saves.” What all this cost him we don’t know. All we
hear is that when he awoke from the dream, he did what
had been asked and took Mary into his home.
That wasn’t the end of the dreams. “Joseph, take
the mother and child into Egypt—Herod is trying to kill
him.” “Joseph, take the mother and child out of Egypt—
Herod is dead.” And Joseph did. Maybe once you begin
to live God’s dream it gets easier.
God’s dream is that we live in the world as God’s
adopted and saved children, working to bring God’s
peace and justice, mercy and forgiveness into our world
wherever they are needed.

Missa do IV Domingo do Advento
BOLETIM PORTUGUÊS
MISSA DOMINGO IV DOMINGO
DO ADVENTO
Comentário: São Mateus diz que a Mãe de
Jesus “estava prometida em casamento a José, e,
antes de viverem juntos ela ficou grávida pela ação do
Espírito Santo”. As palavras usadas pelo Evangelista
são simples, mas escondem uma realidade imensa,
misteriosa, inaudita. Pensemos em José e Maria,
ainda jovens. Eles certamente se amavam; como todo
casal piedoso daquela época pensavam em ter filhos –
os filhos eram considerados uma bênção de Deus.
Mas, eis que antes de viverem juntos, a Virgem se
acha grávida por obra do Espírito Santo! Deus entra
silenciosamente na vida daquele casalzinho. Nós
sabemos, pelo Evangelho de São Lucas, que Maria
disse “sim”, que Maria acreditou, que Maria deixou que
Deus fosse Deus em sua vida: “Eu sou a serva do
Senhor! Faça-se em mim segundo a tua palavra!” (Lc
1,38) De repente, eis que uma vida de família, que
tinha tudo para ser pacata e serena, viu-se agitada por
uma tempestade. Por um lado, a Virgem diz “sim” a
Deus e, sem saber o que explicar ou como explicar ao
noivo, cala-se, abandonando-se confiantemente nas
mãos do Senhor. Por outro lado, José sabe que o
aquele filho não é seu; não compreende como Maria
poderia ter feito tal coisa com ele: ter-lhe-ia sido infiel?
E, no entanto, não ousa difamar a noiva. Resolve
deixá-la secretamente. Quanta dor, quanta dúvida,
quanto silêncio: silêncio de Maria, que não tem o que
dizer nem como explicar; silêncio de José que, na dor,
não sabe o que perguntar à noiva; silêncio de Deus
que, pacientemente, vai tecendo a sua história de
salvação na nossa pobre história humana. E, então,
como fizera antes com a Virgem, Deus agora dirige
sua palavra a José: “José, filho de Davi, não tenhas
medo de receber Maria como tua esposa, porque ela
concebeu pela ação do Espírito Santo. Ela dará à luz
um filho, e tu lhe darás o nome de Jesus, pois ele vai
salvar o seu povo de seus pecados”. Atenção aos
detalhes! O Anjo chama José de “filho de Davi”. É pelo
humilde carpinteiro que Jesus será descendente de
Davi. Se José dissesse “não”, Jesus não poderia ser o
Messias, Filho de Davi! Note-se que é José quem
deve dar o nome ao Menino, reconhecendo-o como
seu filho. Note-se ainda o nome do Menino: Jesus, isto
é, “o Senhor salva”! Deus, humildemente, revela seu
plano a José e, depois de pedir o “sim” de Maria,
suplica e espera o “sim” de José. E, como Maria, José
crê, José se abre para Deus em sua vida, José mostra
-se disposto a abandonar seus planos para abraçar os
de Deus, José diz “sim”: “Quando acordou, José fez
conforme o Anjo do Senhor havia mandado, e aceitou
sua esposa!”
Eis! Adeus, para aquele casal, o sonho de
uma vida tranqüila! Adeus filhos nascidos da união dos
dois! Agora, iriam viver somente para aquele Presente
que o Senhor lhes havia dado, para a Missão que lhes
tinha confiado... O plano de Deus passa pela vida
humilde daquele casal. Para que São Paulo pudesse
dizer hoje na Epístola aos Romanos que é “apóstolo
por vocação, escolhido para o Evangelho... que diz
respeito ao Filho de Deus, descendente de Davi
segundo a carne”, foi necessária a coragem generosa
da Virgem Maria e o sim pobre e cheio de solicitude do
jovem José. Para que a profecia de Isaías, que
ouvimos na primeira leitura, fosse concretizada, foi
necessário que aquele jovem casal enxergasse Deus
e seu plano de amor nas vicissitudes de sua vida
humilde e pobre! – Dom Henrique Soares de Costa

During this holy season of Advent
and Christmas we gather to celebrate his
coming and three very special
revelations: The Magi follow a dream and
a star to discover the Word made flesh;
Jesus enters the Jordan River to wash
away the sins of the world. Christ works
the first of his signs, turning water into
wine to celebrate a wedding at Cana.
He displays the abundance and joy
of this new covenant established in his
own blood. He invites us to see the
presence of God in all, from the youngest
to the oldest, in the stranger and in the
friend.
It is our hope that this season finds
you in peace, joyful in the company of
friends. May the songs and symbols of
this holy season fill you with light and
happiness.
From our House to
Yours
A Most Blessed
and
Merry Christmas
