AN ACT OF SPIRITUAL COMMUNION My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul.

Gospel Meditation
Strengthen Your Hearts Happy New Year! Today is the first day of the new liturgical year, and that is why today we hear a Gospel reading from the Gospel of Luke. We will hear readings from Luke almost every Sunday during the coming year. Today’s Gospel is similar to the one we heard last Sunday from the Gospel of Mark. They are similar because they are slightly different versions of the great discourse that Jesus gave just before his passion. Just before the temple of his body would be destroyed, Jesus spoke about how the Jerusalem Temple would be destroyed, and about how things would be set aright when he would return: both at the end of time, and during the time of the church, which is the new temple. The version written by St. Luke is slightly different (cf. Luke 21:25-36). Luke was a physician, and perhaps that is why he included certain anatomical words. He is the only Gospel writer who was careful to include the things Jesus said about how we should take care of our body parts, especially the HEART. Luke recalled the words that Jesus spoke about what we should do when he comes again: “…Stand erect and raise your heads because your redemption is at hand. Beware that your hearts do not become drowsy from carousing and drunkenness…” St. Luke the doctor, and Jesus the Divine Physician, are very concerned about our well-being. We should stand up straight and hold our heads high because we are God’s beloved children. We should have a healthy heart. Drunkenness and debauchery can contribute to “kardiai barēthōsin,” which is Greek for “bloated heart”. Avoid cardio sclerosis, which paralyzes our hearts! Various Bibles translate this word as “overcharged”, “weighed down”, “dulled”, and “depressed”. Our hearts must be free of earthly cares if we want to be “light-hearted.” At the end of time, those who do not have strong, loving hearts will feel weak and fearful: “People will die of fright in anticipation of what is coming upon the world.” Jesus warns us to make ourselves strong: “Be vigilant at all times and pray that you have the strength to escape the tribulations that are imminent and to stand before the Son of Man.” Here at Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Parish, we optimistically look forward to the new year and whatever it will bring. We are not afraid because we are strengthened by the love of the Hearts of Jesus and Mary! -Fr. Mark
MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO ¡Fortalezcan Sus Corazónes! ¡Feliz Año Nuevo! Hoy es el primer día del nuevo año litúrgico, y por eso escucharemos hoy una lectura del Evangelio del Evangelio de Lucas. Escucharemos lecturas de Lucas casi todos los domingos durante el próximo año. El evangelio de hoy es similar al que escuchamos el domingo pasado del evangelio de Marcos. Son similares porque son dos versiones del gran discurso que Jesús pronunció poco antes de su pasión. Poco antes de que la muerte del “templo de su cuerpo”, Jesús habló de la destrucción del templo de Jerusalén y también habló de la restauración de las cosas por medio de su venida gloriosa: tanto al final del mundo como también durante el tiempo de la iglesia, que es “el templo nuevo.” La versión escrita por San Lucas es ligeramente diferente (cf. Lucas 21: 25-36). Luke era médico, y quizás por eso incluyó ciertas palabras anatómicas. Él es el único evangelista que incluyó cuidadosamente las palabras anatómicas pronunciadas por Jesús. En particular quiso escribir lo que Jesús dijo del CORAZÓN. En el Evangelio según San Lucas, Jesús dice lo que debemos hacer con el cuerpo cuando el regrese: “pongan atención y levanten la cabeza, porque se acerca la hora de su liberación. Estén alerta, para que los vicios, con el libertinaje, la embriaguez y las preocupaciones de esta vida no entorpezcan su corazón…” El médico San Lucas y el Divino Médico Jesús están muy preocupados por nuestro bienestar. Debemos mantenernos derechitos y mantener la cabeza en alto, porque somos hijos amados de Dios. Debemos tener un corazón sano. La embriaguez y el libertinaje pueden contribuir a "kardiai barēthōsin", que en griego significa "corazón hinchado". ¡Debemos evitar la “cardiosclerosis” que paraliza el corazón! Varias Biblias traducen esta palabra de diversas maneras, por ejemplo: "sobrecargado", "abrumado", "embotado", "deprimido". El corazón debe ser libre de preocupaciones terrenales, para que sea “fuerte para amar”. Al final de los tiempos, aquellos que no tienen corazón fuerte se sentirán débiles y temerosos: "La gente se morirá de espanto con sólo pensar en lo que va a caer sobre la humanidad…" Jesús nos anima a ser fuertes: “Estén vigilando y orando en todo momento, para que tengan la fuerza para escapar de las tribulaciones que son inminentes y estar de pie ante el Hijo del Hombre…” Aquí, en la Parroquia de la Presentación de la de la Santísima Virgen María, somos optimistas frente al año nuevo. ¡No tenemos miedo porque somos fortalecidos por el amor de los Corazones de Jesús y María! -P. Marcos PrayerspRAYER FOR THE sICK

Month of November
Let us pray for all the Faithful Departed.
November is called the month of All Souls. More recently, it has been called the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed. Our growth in Christian perfection takes a long time. At the time of our death, many of us might not be saints yet. But God, in His mercy, allows for those who love Him to experience purification after death. Our word for that state is Purgatory. It’s the antechamber of heaven, so to speak. Here on earth, we can pray for the souls in Purgatory. Just as we have special intentions for family and friends here on earth, we can pray for those who have died. It’s also a good act of Christian charity to pray for the forgotten, those who have no one else to pray for them. ©LPi

Spiritual Communion
Even if one cannot sacramentally receive the Eucharist, everyone should be aware of the practice of making a spiritual communion. The following is a daily prayer for Spiritual Communion:
O my Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament.
I love you above all things, and I desire to receive you into my soul.
Since I cannot at this moment receive you sacramentally,
come at least spiritually into my heart.
I embrace you as if you were already there and
unite myself wholly to you.
Never permit me to be separated from you.
Amen.
-St. Alphonsus Liguori

Saint John Damascene
|
675-749
Feast Day: December 4 The last of the Greek fathers, John was born in Damascus, Syria. He succeeded his father as chief representative of the Christian community to the caliph in Damascus, then under Islamic rule. However, after serving some years, he was forced to resign in 719 because of his faith. He entered a monastery in the mountain wilderness between Jerusalem and the Dead Sea, and lived there until his death. As a priest, he devoted himself to prayer and writing, producing 150 works on theology, philosophy and religious education, as well as a defense of the veneration of icons and numerous hymns. His work was widely cited in the Middle Ages. Pope Leo XIII declared him a doctor of the church in 1890. Copyright © 20210 United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington DC.

San Juan Damasceno
675-749 Día de fiesta— 4 de diciembre Gran figura del monaquismo cristiano, Teodoro nació en Constantinopla (Estambul, Turquía), pero comenzó su vida monástica en Bitinia. Regresó a Constantinopla para estudiar para el sacerdocio y en 787 fue ordenado. En 794, sucedió a su tío, San Plutón, como abad de Sakkoudion, donde sus ideales y reglas tuvieron una influencia de gran alcance. Más tarde trasladó a sus monjes a un monasterio de Constantinopla fundado por el cónsul romano Studius. Teodoro fue exiliado varias veces: por oponerse al divorcio y al adulterio de un emperador, y también por defender la veneración de las imágenes sagradas. Apoyó la autoridad de la sede de Roma, predicó brillantemente y dejó un tesoro de escritos. Copyright © 2020, United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, Washington, DC.

“Our Lady showed us a great sea of fire which seemed to be under the earth. Plunged in this fire were demons and souls in human form.... ”
(Lúcia dos Santos, Visionary of Fátima)
The terrifying and horrific vision of hell, which the Shepherd Children witnessed, “lasted but an instant.” Lúcia tells us: “We looked up at Our Lady, who said to us, so kindly and so sadly: ‘You have seen hell where the souls of poor sinners go. When you pray the Rosary, say after each mystery: O my Jesus, forgive us, save us from the fire of hell. Lead all souls to heaven, especially those who are most in need.’”
Our Lady instructed the Little Shepherds: “Sacrifice yourselves for sinners, and say many times, especially whenever you make some sacrifice: ‘O Jesus, it is for love of You, for the conversion of sinners, and in reparation for the sins committed against the Immaculate Heart of Mary.’”
