GUARDIAN ANGEL CATHOLIC SCHOOL
ALUMNI SEARCH
Attention: If you or someone you know has
attended or graduated from Guardian Angel
School, in Pacoima, please contact– Shireen
Ossanlo (818) 896-1113 ext. 8770 or
marketing@guardianangelcs.com. We are currently
trying to create an alumni database and could use
the help of the community. We are making great
efforts to locate and cultivate relationships with our
alumni and their families during this Christmas
season. Please notify us if you have ever attended
Guardian Angel School. Thank you and God Bless.
The angel Gabriel today confronts Mary with a
mystery. The mystery of salvation in Christ is not a
mystery that is solved, but a reality beyond our
comprehension that we must choose to enter into.
In the liturgy of the Eastern Church, everyone
waits to see if Mary will enter into the mystery:
God waits, Adam and Eve and all the souls of the
dead who long for paradise wait, angels wait for
new heavenly companions. And there is much
rejoicing when her decision is “yes.”
We have less dramatic choices offered to us,
but the mystery of our salvation in Christ is by no
means “solved.” We may understand it a bit better
due to Mary’s “yes.” We may be a bit closer to it
through the passion, death, and resurrection of
Jesus Christ. But it still remains a mystery to which
we all must give our own “yes.” Soon we will be
singing “O come, let us adore him.” May our
Advent prayer, our echo of Mary’s “yes,” continue
then, so we may enter into the mystery of our
salvation in Jesus Christ, God among us.

CHRISTMAS IN THE HEART
Christmas! ’Tis the season for kindling the fire
of hospitality in the hall, the genial fire of charity
in the heart.
LA NAVIDAD EN EL CORAZÓN
¡Navidad! Es la estación para encender el
fuego de la hospitalidad en la sala, y el fuego y
de la simpatía en el corazón.

Tercer Domingo de Adviento
IMITAR LA DECISIÓN DE MARÍA
El ángel Gabriel hoy le presenta a María un
misterio. El misterio de salvación en Cristo no es
un misterio que se pueda resolver, sino una
realidad más allá de nuestro entendimiento en la
cual nos decidimos a participar. En la liturgia de la
Iglesia Oriental, todos esperan para ver si María
participará en el misterio: Dios espera, Adán y Eva
y todas las almas de los muertos que anhelan el
Paraíso esperan, los ángeles esperan tener
nuevos compañeros celestiales. Y hay gran
regocijo cuando su decisión es un “sí”.
A nosotros se nos ofrecen opciones menos
dramáticas, pero el misterio de nuestra salvación
en Cristo de ningún modo queda “solucionado”.
Puede que ahora lo entendamos un poco mejor
gracias al “sí” de María. Puede que estemos un
poco más cercanos a él mediante la pasión,
muerte y resurrección de Jesucristo. Pero un
misterio al cual todos debemos dar nuestro
propio “sí”. Ya pronto estaremos cantando “Venid
y adoremos”. Que nuestra oración de Adviento, a
imitación del “sí” de María, continúe para que
podamos participar en el misterio de nuestra
salvación en Jesucristo, Dios-con-nosotros.

To the members of the Saint Finbar Church community:
The Christmas Season is a time of peace, a time of joy and a time for
family. At this special time of year we celebrate the birth of Our Redeemer.
From Christmas Day forward we are blessed with more light each day. It’s
a reminder that Jesus is the light of the world. It is the light of Christ that
dispels the darkness and through His sacrificial act has won for us a new
life in Him and new life as members of God’s family.
Whenever we see the image of the crib or cradle at Christmas we also see
the image of the cross. On Christmas Day and every day we are called to
be a witness to the Glory of God and Salvation through Our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ.
We wish all members of the Saint Finbar Church community and our
greater community a happy and holy Christmas Season. Below is our
Christmas Day Mass schedule. Please join us on Christmas Day and
throughout the coming year as we strive to make known the Good News of
Salvation and to bring the light of Christ to all those in our community living
in darkness.
May the light of Christ bring renewal for you and peace and joy for your
family as we gather as a parish family to celebrate The Nativity of the Lord
on Christmas Day.
