From the Pastor

“A voice of one crying out in the desert, Prepare the way of the Lord,

make straight his paths”.

John makes an appearance in the most briefest way at advent yet a very powerful one. His role was to introduce Jesus and step away. The above quotation summarizes him best - “A voice crying out”. The most important tasks that are mentioned about John include baptizing, preaching to incite repentance, humility before God, and interior preparedness to receive the Messiah. He does it so well and selflessly making sure Jesus' prominence is spelled out. "He who comes will baptize with the Holy Spirit and is mightier that I", he says. This selfless cry out is for us as well who await the birth of the Messiah, one more time this year but more importantly this time in our hearts. In our busy times of the day, do we hear John's voice - seeking us out? What could be our crooked ways that need to be straightened up? How ready are we to receive baby Jesus? Let us not miss this opportunity, let us cultivate a spirit of readiness, - prepare the way – the Messiah is coming! St. Colette Pray for us.

Peace,

Fr. Mahonge

Del Párroco

"La voz de uno que llora en el desierto, Prepara el camino del Señor,

enderezar sus caminos ". Juan hace una aparición de la manera más breve en el adviento pero muy poderosa. Su papel era presentar a Jesús y alejarse. La cita anterior lo resume mejor: "Una voz que grita". Las tareas más importantes que se mencionan acerca de Juan incluyen el bautismo, la predicación para incitar al arrepentimiento, la humildad ante Dios y la preparación interior para recibir al Mesías. Lo hace tan bien y desinteresadamente asegurándose de que se destaque la prominencia de Jesús. "El que viene bautizará con el Espíritu Santo y es más poderoso que yo", dice el. Este grito desinteresado es también para nosotros que esperamos el nacimiento del Mesías, una vez más este año, pero más importante esta vez en nuestros corazones. En nuestros ajetreados momentos del día, ¿escuchamos la voz de Juan buscándonos? ¿Cuáles podrían ser nuestras formas torcidas que necesitan ser enderezadas? ¿Qué tan listos estamos para recibir al niño Jesús? No perdamos esta oportunidad, cultivemos un espíritu de preparación, - preparemos el camino - ¡viene el Mesías! Santa Colette Ruega por nosotros.

Paz, P. Mahonge

To Parents: Kairos, the Lord’s time, is a Christian expe-rience of prayer and reflection run by a team of adults and students. This is a rare time in a teen’s life to step back from stress and pressure to gain some perspective and in-sight on what’s important in their lives, all in a safe and fun environment. To the Teens: Why? This is the question you should really ask! Why should I spend time reflecting on my life at a retreat? It is hard to know until you have tried. Maybe you are scared about going off to college. Maybe you are trying to decide if you want to go to college. Maybe you are searching. Maybe you are stressed and distracted. Maybe you don’t know if God really cares. Maybe you need time away to reflect and re-energize. There are so many reasons those who have already gone on Kairos could give you about why you should go, but first you have to choose to trust them. Thousands of teens go on Kairos each year. They go and discover who they really are and how they want to live. So clear your school, sports, work schedules NOW! They come for their own reasons. All leave changed. Maybe the best reason to go is that someone cares enough about you to invite you. Talk to past Kairos participants, youth ministers or priests and ask them why. Even if your decision is not to go, you owe it to yourself to explore why so many people consider that a retreat is an essential experience in your life.
