Our school will be celebrated the Feast of Our Lady of Providence on November 19th. The title “Our Lady of Providence” has been used in Scripture in reference to Mary, most notably in the story of the Wedding in Cana. Jesus performed his first public miracle in part because of Mary’s concern for the newlywed couple. The image of Mary leaning over Jesus with the Virgin's hands folded in prayer while she gently supports her Son's left hand suggests tenderness, devotion and peace. Pope Paul VI declared Our Lady Mother of Divine Providence, the principal patroness of the island of Puerto Rico. November 19th was chosen as the Feast day of Our Lady of Providence because it was the day that the island of Puerto Rico was discovered. As the Thanksgiving Season approaches, Our Lady of Providence students have joined with other community groups to collect food donations to help the St. John of God Food Pantry create food baskets for the needy families of the area. Each grade was asked to donate a particular Thanksgiving food. During the year we will help each of the Outreach centers in our four parishes.

DIAS DESCATADOS DURANTE LA SEMANA

Esta semana celebramos las vidas de dos martíres: uno del siglo XIX y la otra del siglo IV. Los dos su-frieron la muerte de una manera muy cruel. Sin em-bargo, antes de sus ejecuciones convirtieron mucha gente a Cristo.

Lunes 24 de noviembre: San Andrés Dung-Lac y sus compañeros. San Andrés fue un Sacerdote de Vietnam nacido de padres paganos. Se convertió y se hizo sacerdote. Sin embargo, a las autoridades no le gustó el éxito que tuvo con las conversiones y de-capitaron a San Andrés Dung-lac y a muchos de sus compañeros. El Papa Juan Pablo II los declaró san-tos en 1988.

Martes, 25 de noviembre: Santa Catalina de Alexandría, Egipcia también nacida de padres pa-ganos. Se convertió a Cristo y decidió consagrar su virginidad y vida a Cristo. Fue torturada y decapi-tada por influenciar a muchas personas y rechazar al Emperador quien quería casarse con ella.

Jueves, 27 de noviembre: El Día de Acción de Gracias. Este día es un día feriado en Los Estados Unidos. De acuerdo a la historia los peregrinos de Europa organizaron un banquete en Massachusettes e invitaron a los Indios para unirse con ellos. Du-rante ese día ofrecieron gracias a Dios por haberse salvado del viaje a través del Atlántico y por la co-secha que iba a ayudarles a sobrevivir el invierno.

LA RIFA DE LA FORMACION DE LOS LIDERES LAICOS

Muchas de ustedes saben que el sorteo de esta rifa tendrá lugar después de la Misa de Acción de Gracias, 10:00 a.m.. Si todavía no ha comprado sus-boletos, hay tiempo hoy. Cada boleto vale $5:00, los premios son formidable:.

Primer Premio: $1,000 Segundo premio: $500.

Claro, vamos a tener co-mida y tiempo para compartir. El buen precio de $10 cubre todo, inclusive el Concierto. (Niños no tienen que pagar). Haga planes ahora para asistir.

R.I.C.A.

Celebración del Rito para Aceptación en el Catecumenado y del Rito de Bienvenidos a los Adultos Bautizados que se preparan para la recepción De Confirmación y/o la Eucarístia Este Rito tendrá lugar el Primer Domingo de Adviento, 30 de noviembre en la misa de 12:30pm. Tenemos 13 personas que quieren recibir los Sacra-mentos. Por Favor, ore por ellos.

Lectio Divina: es una forma de oración utilizando las Sagradas Escrituras. Se trata de un proceso de cuatro pasos, usando las Escrituras como base para conocer a nuestro Señor en una forma más profunda. Fue un proceso desarrollado por San Be-nedicto y se puede utilizar como oración individual o grupal.

4 PASOS: LEER, MEDITAR, ORAR, CONTEMPLAR

PUEDE COMENZAR CON UNA ORACIÓN AL ESPÍRITU SANTO: Ven, Espíritu Santo, ilumina mi mente, abre mi corazón para que yo pueda encon-trar en la Palabra a Cristo, el Camino, la Verdad y la Vida…...Ayúdame a seguir hoy, la llamada de Cristo de una manera nueva, conforme a tu palabra. Y lo digo por todos en el mundo, uno quien es enviado por el Señor, quiero ser un hermano/hermana, un amigo, ahora voy a ser un discípulo del Padre, del Hijo y del Espíritu Santo. Amén.

Paso 1: LEER: ¿Qué dice el texto bíblico? En el nivel más básico: ¿Qué está pa-sando en este pasaje bíblico? Usted tiene que identificar una PALABRA, FRASE, IDEA que toca su corazón…..que el Señor pone en tu corazón….. PRIMERA LECTURA: lea el texto en voz alta lenta y deliberadamente. REFLEXIÓN: tome varios minutos para reflexionar sobre la lectura y permitir que el Espíritu Santo le revele UNA PALABRA, UNA FRASE, UNA IDEA/CONCEPTO que es el centro del significado del texto para usted (¿Qué le está diciendo el texto bíblico?). INTERNALIZAR: repetir la palabra o frase en voz alta o en su corazón.

Paso 2: MEDITAR: ¿Qué me está diciendo personalmente Jesús a través del texto de la Escritura? ¿Qué es lo que Dios quiere que conozca o vea a través del texto de la Escritura? ¿Cómo este texto me habla a mi experiencia en la vida? SEGUNDA LECTURA: leer el mismo pasaje. LA MEDITACIÓN: tome varios minutos para reflexionar sobre la pregunta: ¿Qué me está diciendo personalmente Jesús a través de este texto de la Escritura?

Paso 3: ORAR: Mi Señor me ha hablado en el texto Bíblico: ¿Qué es lo que le quiero decir a Dios en oración? TERCERA LECTURA: puede volver a leer el mismo pasaje. REFLEXIÓN: Jesús me ha hablado personalmente en este texto Bíblico. ¿Qué quiero decir a mi Señor en oración? ORACIÓN: diga su oración a Señor ya sea en voz alta o interiormente.

Paso 4: CONTEMPLAR / ACTUAR: Como resultado de mi oración, ¿A qué Jesús me está llamando HACER (esta semana) como resultado de este proceso? Por último, nuestra oración nos invita a la acción, en definitiva, a ser más compasivo y fiel. CONTEMPLAR: en lo que nuestro Señor está llamándome hacer como resultado de este proceso.

Lectio Divina: is a form of prayer using Sacred Scripture. It is a four step process, using Scripture as its basis to get to know our Lord in a more profound way. It is a process that was developed by St. Benedict and can be used in individual prayer or in a group.

4 STEPS: READ, MEDITATE, PRAY, CONTEMPLATE

MAY WANT TO BEGIN WITH A PRAYER TO THE HOLY SPIRIT: Come Holy Spirit, illuminate my mind, open my heart so I can encounter in your Word Christ, the Way, the Truth, and the Life…..Help me follow today, the call of Christ in a new way, according to your word. And let me be for all in the world, one who is sent by the Lord, let me be a brother/sister, let me be a friend, let me be a disciple of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen. Step 1: READ: What does the Biblical Text Say? At the most basic level: What is going on in this Scriptural passage? You have to identify a WORD, PHRASE, IDEA that touches your heart….that the Lord places in your heart….. FIRST READING: read the text out loud slowly and intentionally. REFLECTION: take several minutes to reflect on the reading and allow the Holy Spirit to surface a WORD, A PHRASE, AN IDEA/CONCEPT that is central to the meaning of the text for you (What is the Biblical text saying?). INTERNALIZE: repeat the word or phrase either out loud or in your heart.

Step 2: MEDITATE: What is Jesus saying to me personally through this Scripture Text? What does God want me to know or see through this Scripture Text. How does this text speak to my experience in life? SECOND READING: read the same passage again. MEDITATION: take several minutes to reflect on the question: What is Jesus saying to me personally through this Scripture Text?

Step 3: PRAY: My Lord has spoken to me in the Scriptural Text: What do I want to say back to him in Prayer? THIRD READING: may want to re-read the same passage again. REFLECTION: Jesus has spoken to me personally in this Scriptural text. What do I want to say to my Lord in Prayer? PRAYER: say your prayer to our Lord either out loud or interiorly.

Step 4: CONTEMPLATE / ACT: As a result of my prayer, what is Jesus calling me to DO (this week) as a result of this process? Finally, our prayer calls us to action ultimately to be more compassionate and faithful. CONTEMPLATE: on what our Lord is calling you to do as a result of this process.
