The Adult Faith Formation Committee PresentsWednesday, November 21: Episode Three“The Ineffable Mystery of God – That Which Nothing Greater Can Be Thought”Moses asks God, “Who are you?” God replies, “I am who I am.” This week Fr. Barrontakes us to Egypt, Italy, Montana, Arizona, Germany, Spain and Auschwitz, Poland as heprovides a vision of the mystery of God.“(Catholicism) Just what we need.”Archbishop Timothy NolanJoin us 6:45 pm to 8:15 pm in the churchQuestions? Contact Mary Jane Tadda (mjtbook@aol.com, 630-935-3701)Barb Harazin (bharazin@comcast.net, 630-629-7956)Revelation: The Kingdom Yet to ComeWeek of Nov. 18: Session 10 – A New Heaven and a New EarthReadings: Revelation 21-22The first verses of Genesis found Adam and Eve walking in a garden with God. NowRevelation closes the story of Sacred Scripture by taking us into another glorious paradisefilled with life-giving rivers and healing trees. This “new creation” actually began with ourbaptism into Christ (Catechism 1999) and far surpasses the Eden of old. All of the longings ofthe prophets Isaiah, Ezekiel and Zechariah, and of the people through the ages find their fulfillment in these finalimages. The promise that God will be with his people is one of the most basic elements of ancient Jewish covenants, but nothing cancompare with how this promise will be fulfilled for us in the Heavenly Jerusalem. The faithful from among the seven churches inRevelation 2 and the conquering saints of every age are now welcomed into the rest and reward. Their heritage is in the Lordhimself (Revelation 21:7).Holding fast to the promises of God to give us a future and hope helps us bear our present difficulties. Revelation 22:15 lists thevices that could keep people out of this glorious reality, reinforcing the importance of moral preparedness and perseverance to theend. As Revelation closes, it offers a threefold appeal by the Spirit, the Bride and the one who hears this book, and finds themthirsting for God. Their united cry is “Come!” Our Lord’s reply shocks and delights the believer in Christ as he calls back to us,“Truly I am coming soon!” Stirred by his promise, we cry out with passion, “Come, Lord Jesus!”This is the final week of the Revelation study. If you have not already registered for our next study, James: Pearls for WiseLiving, forms are available through group facilitators or at the Parish Office.If you have any questions about the study, call Kelly Reznicek at 630-629-5954 or e-mail KellyRez@comcast.net.Catechism Corner“Scripture and Tradition never cease to teach and celebrate thisfundamental truth: ‘The world was made for the glory of God.’St. Bonaventure explains that God created all things ‘not toincrease his glory, but to show forth and to communicate it, forGod has no other reason for creation than his love and goodness.”(CCC, n. 293)YEAR OF FAITH PRAYERO God, as you sent your Holy Spiritupon the early Churchin the fiery tongues andthe mighty wind of Pentecost,so now we ask youto send that same Spirit upon usthat we may go forthto proclaim the Gospel of Christto every creature.Year of Faith: October 11, 2012—November 24, 2013November 18, 2012PAGE 5We humbly praythat you deepen your Trinitarian life within us;make us effective and holy witnessesof Jesus’ death and Resurrection;help us to live our Catholic faithwith such joy, conviction, and lovethat others will be drawnto the sacred mystery of your Churchand the powerful grace of the sacraments.We implore youto make us ministers of your Word,in speech and action, in truth and charity,in the mystery of Jesus’ cross,and the light of his resurrected glory.Amen.Diocesan webpage for Year of Faith:www.dioceseofjoliet.org/yearoffaith/

En el Libro de Daniel se anuncia cómotodo llegará a un nuevo punto culminante y decisivo, en el queIsrael será protagonista y vencedor y se cumplirán los planes deDios. Esto es lo que quiere decirse aludiendo a la victoria delarcángel San Miguel, que es el ángel custodio del pueblo de Diosy la personificación de la especial providencia divina en favor deIsrael. En los pasajes apocalípticos la "gran tribulación" o "lostiempos difíciles" aparecen como una señal de salvacióndefinitiva de los justos. Se trata de una imagen utilizada paraexpresar que Dios conoce a los suyos y los protege hasta el final.Habla claramente de la resurrección de los muertos que "duermenen el polvo". Aunque se dice que "despertarán muchos", estaexpresión quiere decir con frecuencia "todos", y éste parece aquísu sentido. La resurrección es para nuestro autor un postulado dela justicia divina, que no puede dejar sin premio a los mártires ysin castigo a sus verdugos. No falta una palabra de esperanza yuna promesa para los "sabios", esto es, para los que enseñan apracticar y no sólo a conocer lo que es justo a los ojos de Dios.Hay para ellos reservada una gloria especial e imperecedera.La llegada de los últimos tiempos no tiene fecha. En elevangelio Jesús trata de inculcar en sus discípulos la certeza delfinal de los tiempos. Esta lectura recoge parte del llamado"apocalipsis sinóptico", según la versión de Marcos. Para ello sesirve de una comparación, el ejemplo de la higuera cuando seacerca la primavera. Sin embargo, la certeza de la llegada delfinal no tiene fecha, permanece oculta. La apocalíptica es denaturaleza simbólica, plástica y está al servicio de una idea. Porlo que respecta al final, éste es expresado con imágenestremendistas: cataclismos cósmicos, guerras, fuego,derrumbamientos, personajes celestes, señales luminosas,trompetas convocando a juicio. Es la imaginería que se recoge enel Evangelio de hoy. Su valor no es literal, sino simbólico. Esteevangelio no es, por supuesto, una guía de los últimos días; nohay un reportaje sobre los últimos acontecimientos. Resuena estedomingo la voz potente de Jesús para gritarnos que la vida es unatarea hermosa, cuyo alcance y proporciones se verán un día, queEl no precisa.November 18, 2012PAGE 9La venida del “Hijo del Hombre” es para la salvación. Lacaída del "mundo viejo" con todos los poderes que lo rigen ydeterminan coincide con la irrupción de una creación nueva. Enel mismo momento en que todo sea oscuro, aparecerá a los ojosde los hombres el Hijo del Hombre, Jesús el salvador. Jesús seaplica a sí mismo la expresión de “Hijo del Hombre” del profetaDaniel. Pero falta una detallada descripción del juicio. ParaMarcos no es importante el destino de "los otros", sino laafirmación a los elegidos: ¡No os perderéis! Podéis permanecerhasta el final como discípulos de Jesús. La palabra "venir" en losprofetas significa frecuentemente "manifestarse", y ése es aquí susentido más apropiado referido a la venida del Hijo del Hombre.Por lo tanto, Jesús se manifestará como Señor y en El aparecerála misma gloria de Dios. Por eso vendrá con "poder" y"majestad", que es el atributo exclusivo de Dios. La reunión detodos los elegidos constituye un rasgo esencial del Reino de Diosque aparece ya en las expectativas mesiánicas de Israel. AunqueMarcos no menciona el juicio final, lo presupone: los que no seanreunidos quedarán excluidos del Reino de Dios. El juicio es parala salvación, no para la condenación. En este futuro actuar deDios hay un sí absoluto al mundo que ha creado. La asambleaeucarística en la que estamos participando quiere ser también unsigno de esperanza en el que se anticipa la gran reunión de loselegidos cuando vuelva el Señor.Por José María Martín OSA“PREPAREMOS LOSCAMINOS DEL SEÑOR”El Ministerio Hispano Te invita a queparticipes de este RetiroCuando: 24 de Noviembre, 2012Hora: 9:00 am – 2:00 pmLugar: Salón Wagner“No habrá cuidado de niños”CALENDARIO PARA LA FIESTA DE LAVIRGEN DE GUADALUPEMAÑANITAS Diciembre 12, 2012 a las 5:30 amContinuando con chocolate caliente y pan.FIESTA Diciembre 15, 2012 Misasolemne 7:00 pmContinuando con cena, música y más
