“Year of Consecrated Life”
Our Lady of Good Counsel Parish • 2
Dear Parishioners of Our Lady of Good Counsel,
For many of us, the spirit of Christmas at times is “hurry.” And
yet, the hour eventually comes when the rushing ends and the
race against the calendar mercifully comes to a close.
It is at this time that we truly recognize the spirit of Christmas. It
is not a matter of days or weeks, but of centuries; twenty of them
now since that holy night in Bethlehem. Regarded in this manner,
the pre-Christmas rush may do us a greater service than we realize. With all its worldly confusion, the Christmas rush helps us to
see by contrast, that Christmas itself is eternal.
Christmas is eternal because the gift of Christmas, Jesus Christ, is
eternal. Jesus is the Word of God, the Light and Life of the world.
It is through Jesus Christ, both fully God and fully human that we
as humans are made one and whole with God. The best way for us
as Christians to keep Christmas eternal is by imitating our Lord
by loving one another as our Lord loves us, and sustaining this
love all year long. When we love, console, forgive, and assist each
other and are generous with our goods to our parish and fellow
humans, we continue to give the gift of Christ and His love to
each other. This Christmas let us pray that we re-commit ourselves to eternally sharing the gift, our Lord, with all humanity.
At this time we invite all parishioners to break from the Christmas rush and to spiritually prepare for this holiest of seasons. We
look forward to sharing Christmas with you and thank you for
your generosity and support over the past year.
As we celebrate this holy season, let us also remember the sanctity of life and let us pray that people will turn away from evil and
turn to the Lord. Since the Roe vs. Wade decision, life has not
been treasured in this great country of ours. Let us make sure that
all of us, whether it be at our Christmas table, the workplace, or
the gym, stand up for life from the moment of conception to natural death.
On behalf of the OLGC staff, Fr. Ricardo, Deacon Ray, Deacon
Carlos, Sister Maria, Karen, Jennifer, Carol, Alicia, Norm & Lisa,
may your Christmas be filled with much happiness and your New
Year with much hope.
Merry Christmas and God bless,
Fr. Ricardo
Estimados feligreses de Nuestra Señora del Buen Consejo,
Para muchos de nosotros, el espíritu de la Navidad a veces es
"todo a la carrera." Y, sin embargo, la hora finalmente llega cuando se termina toda la carrera contra el calendario finalmente
llega a su fin. Es en este momento que realmente reconocemos el
espíritu de la Navidad. No es cuestión de días o semanas, sino de
siglos; veinte de ellos ahora desde esa noche Santa de Belén.
Mirado de esta manera, la prisa antes de Navidad nos puede hacer un mayor servicio que no nos damos cuenta. Con toda la confusión mundana, la prisa de la Navidad nos ayuda a ver por el
contrario, que la propia Navidad es eterna.
La Navidad es eterna porque el regalo de Navidad, Jesucristo, es
eterno. Jesús es la palabra de Dios, la luz y la vida del mundo. Es
a través de Jesucristo, tanto plenamente Dios y humano que
como seres humanos estamos hechos uno y todo con Dios. La
mejor manera para nosotros, como cristianos, celebrar la Navidad eterna, es por imitación de nuestro Señor, por amarnos unos
A otros como nuestro Señor nos aman, y el mantenimiento de
este amor todo el año. Cuando amamos, consolamos, perdonamos y nos ayudamos el uno al otro y somos generosos con nuestros bienes con nuestra parroquia y los seres humanos, seguimos
dando el don de Cristo y de su amor el uno al otro.
En esta Navidad oremos para que nos comprometemos a compartir eternamente el regalo de nuestro Señor, con toda la humanidad. En este tiempo invitamos a todos los feligreses para romper con el ajetreo navideño y preparémonos espiritualmente para
esta temporada. Esperamos poder compartir la Navidad con todos ustedes y les damos las gracias por su generosidad y apoyo
durante este año.
Al celebrar esta época santa, recordemos también la santidad de
la vida y oremos para que las personas se alejen del mal y regresen al Señor. Dado que la decisión Roe vs. Wade, la vida no se ha
atesorado en este país. Asegurémonos de que todos nosotros, ya
sea en nuestra mesa de Navidad, en el lugar de trabajo, o en el
gimnasio, defendamos la vida desde el momento de la concepción hasta la muerte natural.
En nombre del personal de OLGC, Padre Ricardo, Diacono Ray,
Diácono Carlos, la hermana María, Karen, Jennifer, Carol, Alicia,
Norm & Lisa, desean que su Navidad sea llena de mucha alegría y
su Nuevo Año con mucha esperanza.
Feliz Navidad y que Dios los Bendiga.
Padre Ricardo

Children 4 - 9 years old, are invited to attend the

Mary
Why do Catholics focus so much on Mary? Of all
the teachings of the Catholic Church, those that are
among the most misunderstood tend to center on Mary.
Now, learn what Catholics really believe about Mary,
and why. This episode is taken from Symbolon: The
Catholic Faith Explained, a stunning new 20-part DVD
series that gives adult Catholics what many never
received in childhood- a rich understanding of the
Catholic Faith. Some of the nation’s top teachers offer
a compelling explanation of the Bible, Jesus, the
Church, purgatory, the sacraments, the moral life...
This DVD is offered by Lighthouse Catholic Media
and is very reasonably priced as are all Lighthouse
CDs. It will be available at the next Resource Center
book/CD sale or your may contact Anne Strong at
alpstrong@gmail.com or by phone 630-892-9411.

OLGC ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY
- Helping the needy within our Parish boundariesImagine how Mary felt at the birth of Jesus: excited, awed,
frightened. Deep faith was her light in the darkness, for Jesus
was born during the night of the year when darkness is the longest. In faith is found the real, lasting, and deep joy of Christmas.
In November, thanks to the OLGC parish community and our
faithful contributors, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was able
to bring Christmas to the hearts of the poor, by assisting three
families, providing $397 for utility bills, furniture, and other
needs.
A special thank-you goes to Ald. Ted Mesiacos and to Ramon
Zepeda of Moonlake Landscaping for organizing a Thanksgiving
Dinner give-away to community members in need on November
21.
Anyone could use a little help, or someone to talk to, especially
during these tough economic times. If you would like more information about what we do, please leave us a message at 630-2361285.

fill your hearts with peace in this Holy
Season and throughout the year.
The following is a blessing which you and your
family may pray together when you set up your
manger scene in you home:
‘Lord, bless all who look upon this manger;
May it remind us of the humble birth of Jesus,
and raiser our thought to him,
who is God-with-us and Savior of all,
and who lives and reigns
forever and ever.’
