LETTER FROM FATHER
“DO NOT BE AFRAID, FOR BEHOLD, I PROCLAIM
TO YOU GOOD NEWS OF GREAT JOY THAT WILL
BE FOR ALL PEOPLE, FOR TODAY IN THE CITY OF
DAVID A SAVIOR HAS BEEN BORN FOR YOU WHO
IS CHRIST AND LORD.”
Dear Parishioners,
For most of us the days and weeks leading up to Christmas seem to be stressful. We
have a tendency to be preoccupied with decorating our homes and yards, planning the
menu for the family dinner, making travel plans and shopping. We all look forward to
spending time with those we love and exchanging gifts.
While looking for the perfect gift for that special someone we sometimes forget that
the most perfect gift has already been provided for all of us by God, the gift of his only
begotten son, Jesus. Just imagine if we could have been present on that first Christmas
night when the angel of the Lord appeared to the shepherds in the field and said to
them,
What greater gift could any of us either give or receive?
Christmas is first and foremost a celebration of the Birth of Christ. All the things we do
are wonderful but let us not forget to make room for the baby in the manger and
welcome Him into our hearts and keep Him as the center of our celebration.
Although it has been an unusual year, we have much to celebrate and be thankful for.
Christ came into the world to bring peace to all people, not just a select few. During this
Christmas Season let us each do our part to spread that peace among all those we
encounter. A smile and a “Merry Christmas” is a gift you can give to anyone.
May the Lord bless you abundantly this Christmas and may your hearts be filled with
peace and joy throughout the year.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!
Fr. Jarek Sztybel

CARTA DEL PADRE
“NO TENGAN MIEDO, PORQUE HE AQUÍ, YO LES
PROCLAMO BUENAS NOTICIAS DE GRAN ALEGRÍA
QUE SERÁ PARA TODOS, PORQUE HOY EN LA
CIUDAD DE DAVID HA NACIDO UN SALVADOR
PARA USTEDES, QUE ES CRISTO Y SEÑOR”.
Estimados Feligreses,
Para la mayoría de nosotros, los días y las semanas previas a la Navidad parecen ser
estresantes. Tenemos la tendencia a preocuparnos por decorar nuestras casas y patios,
planificar el menú para la cena familiar, hacer planes de viaje y hacer compras. Todos
esperamos pasar tiempo con nuestros seres queridos e intercambiar regalos.
Mientras buscamos el regalo perfecto para esa persona especial, a veces olvidamos que
el regalo más perfecto ya nos ha sido proporcionado por Dios, el regalo de su único hijo,
Jesús. Imagínense si hubiéramos podido estar presentes en esa primera noche de
Navidad cuando el ángel del Señor se apareció a los pastores en el campo y les dijo:
¿Qué regalo más grande podría dar o recibir cualquiera de nosotros?
La Navidad es ante todo una celebración del nacimiento de Cristo. Todas las cosas que
hacemos son maravillosas, pero no olvidemos hacer espacio para el bebé en el pesebre
y darle la bienvenida a nuestro corazón y mantenerlo como el centro de nuestra
celebración.
Aunque ha sido un año inusual, tenemos mucho que celebrar y agradecer. Cristo vino al
mundo para traer paz a todas las personas, no solo a unos pocos. Durante esta
temporada navideña, hagamos cada uno su parte para difundir esa paz entre todos los
que encontremos. Una sonrisa y un "Feliz Navidad" es un regalo que puedes darle a
cualquiera.
Que el Señor los bendiga abundantemente esta Navidad y que sus corazones se llenen
de paz y alegría durante todo el año.
¡¡¡FELIZ NAVIDAD!!!
P. Jarek Sztybel
