Que el Dios de paz nos haga totalmente santos. Que conserve nuestro espíritu sin mancha, cuerpo y alma, hasta la llegada de nuestro Señor, Jesucristo. El que nos invita es siempre fiel —Dios nuestro Padre. Vivamos en esperanza gozosa de la revelación de la gloria de nuestro Dios y Salvador, Jesucristo. Que sea glorificado por siempre. Ven Señor Jesús. Que tu gracia esté en todos nosotros. —De Oraciones Biblicas, p. 11 por Lucien Deiss, CSSp, copyright 1979, Lucien Deiss. Publicado por World Library Publications.

May the God of peace make us completely holy. May God keep us blameless in spirit, soul and body for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Forever faithful is the One who calls us—God our Father! Expectant, let us live in joyful hope for the revelation of the glory of our God and Savior, Christ Jesus! To him be glory forever! Come, Lord Jesus! Your grace be with us all. —From Come, Lord Jesus by Lucien Deiss, CSSp, copyright 1976, 1981, Lucien Deiss. Published by World Library Publications. p. 127

Recyclable Bins Update

As you may notice, we no longer

have the large receptacles in our

parking lot for paper recycling

and clothing donations. They

were permanently removed

because they were not costly

effective, they continually

caused damaged to the pavement and there was always

an unsightly amount of overflow strewed around the

receptacles.

The St. Vincent De Paul Society, an honorable Catholic

agency, gladly accepts such donations at the following

locations. They also

provide a pick-up service

for large items.

Aviso sobre los Contenedores de Reciclaje

Como habrán notado, ya no tenemos en el estacionamiento

los contenedores grandes para reciclaje de papel y

donativos de ropa. Se tomo la decisión de quitarlos

permanentemente puesto que era mucho el daño que

causaban al pavimento y la mala imagen que daban,

porque siempre había basura tirada alrededor.

La Sociedad de San Vicente de Paul, en una institución

católica caritativa que acepta donativos de ropa y

muebles, además de que pueden ir a

recoger sus donativos a domicilio, si no

pueden llevarlos a sus locales. Estas son

las dos mas cercanas a St. Ansgar:

Retirement Fund for Religious December 19 & 20 Collection

Please give to those who have given a lifetime.

“My life is tied to the liturgy and the Eucharist,” says Precious Blood Sister Ann Hipp, 95, who entered religious life in 1937. “It’s part of who we are as a community.” As a teacher for 50 years, she shared this love of the Eucharist with her students. At age 70, Sister Ann traded in her chalk for a sewing needle and today still helps craft altar cloths and vestments.

Like Sister Ann, tens of thousands of senior sisters, brothers, and religious order priests have dedicated their lives to sharing their faith. Generations of Catholics recall with gratitude their work in Catholic schools, hospitals, and social service agencies. Yet years of ministering for little or no pay came at a price, and now their religious communities lack adequate savings for retirement and eldercare. Your gift to the Retirement Fund for Religious helps provide prescription medications, nursing care, and more. Please be generous.

Over 93 percent of donations aid senior religious.

Fondo para la Jubilación de Religiosos

Colecta 19 & 20 de diciembre

Done a los que donaron su vida.

“Mi vida está vinculada a la liturgia y a la Eucaristía”, dice la religiosa de la Preciosa Sangre hermana Ann Hipp, de 95 años, quien entró al convento en 1937. “Es parte de lo que somos como comunidad”. Durante los 50 años que estuvo de maestra, ella compartió este amor a la Eucaristía con sus alumnos. A los 70, la hermana Ann cambió la tiza y la pizarra por una aguja de coser y hoy todavía ayuda a confeccionar manteles para el altar y vestimentas litúrgicas.

Al igual que la hermana Ann, decenas de miles de hermanas, hermanos y sacerdotes de órdenes religiosas ya ancianos han dedicado su vida a compartir su fe. Generaciones de católicos recuerdan con gratitud la labor que ellos desempeñaron en escuelas, hospitales y agencias de servicio social católicos. Sin embargo, años de servir por poca o ninguna paga han resultado en que ahora sus comunidades religiosas carecen de suficientes ahorros para la jubilación y el cuidado de sus ancianos. Su donativo al Fondo para la Jubilación de Religiosos ayuda con las recetas médicas, cuidados de enfermería y más. Les rogamos que sean generosos. Más del 93 por ciento de los donativos ayuda a los religiosos ancianos.

Programa de Adopción Espiritual Spiritual Adoption Program

Month 2 Keep praying for me! I am two months old now and

about 2 inches long. Look! You can see

my eyes, nose and mouth. I will use them to experience God’s world

after I am born

A Reminder

Jesus, Mary and Joseph, I love you very much. I beg you to spare the life of the unborn baby that I have spiritually adopted who is in danger of abortion.

Prayer of Achbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Please remember to pray daily for your Spiritual Adopted Baby and the baby’s mother and father. During your earthly life this spiritually adopted child of yours will be known only to God but in the world to come it is hoped that you will meet the child whose life was spared by your prayers and spend eternal happiness with them.

Mes 2 ¡Siga rezando

por mí! Ya tengo dos

meses de edad y mido casi 2

pulgadas. ¡Mira! Ya puedes ver

mis ojos, nariz y boca. Los usaré

para sentir el mundo de Dios después de que

nazca.

Recordatorio

Jesús, María y José, los amo mucho. Les suplico que salven la vida del bebé no nacido, al que he adoptado espiri-tualmente y que se encuentra en peligro de ser abortado.

Oracion del Arzobispo Fulton J. Sheen

Por favor recuerde de rezar diariamente por su bebe y por los padres también. Durante su vida terrenal, este niño será conocido solo por Dios, pero en el mundo que viene, se espera que usted pueda conocer al niño cuya vida salvo por medio de sus oraciones.
