Bienvenidos/as a San Marcos
Diócesis Episcopal de Chicago
La Parroquia Episcopal de San Marcos. Aprecia muy sinceramente su visita. Si
busca ser parte de la familia parroquial. Sean bienvenidos. Les invitamos a ser de
nuestra familia y ser parte de San Marcos.
Sagrada comunión. Si usted es intolerante al trigo, ofrecemos libre de gluten y un
cáliz, por favor indíquele al ministro en la baranda del altar. Todos están invitados. Si
usted cruza sus brazos es señal de solo una bendición.
¿Es católica la Iglesia Episcopal de San Marcos?
Nuestra fe está basada en la Biblia, el Credo, los Sacramentos y la tradición primitiva
de la Iglesia Católica. (La palabra «católica» significa «universal».) Creemos en
Jesucristo, Hijo de Dios, y Cabeza de la Iglesia; creemos en María, la Virgen, y en todos
los Santos. Nos llamamos Episcopales porque los obispos («episkopos» en griego) son
nuestros pastores. Nuestro culto y nuestras costumbres son muy parecidas a las de la
Iglesia Católica Romana, pero nuestra herencia anglicana (de Inglaterra) da mucho
énfasis en las escrituras, la tradición, y la razón. Nuestros pastores (sacerdotes y
obispos) pueden casarse, y ordenamos igualmente a las mujeres como a los hombres.
¿Católica? Sí, pero no somos Católica Romana, sino que conservamos la fe católica
tradicional con tradiciones adicionales que tienen sus raíces en la reforma protestante.
Sobre la ofrenda. Si desea hacer una ofrenda, San Marcos ofrece una opción de texto
para dar su ofrenda para apoyar a los ministerios de la iglesia. Con una tarjeta de crédito,
una tarjeta de débito o una cuenta corriente o de ahorros, envíe un mensaje de texto a:

Salmo Cántico 16 | Lucas 1:68–79 | Benedictus Dominus Deus
Bendito sea el Señor, Dios de Israel, *
porque ha visitado y redimido a su pueblo,
Suscitándonos un poderoso Salvador *
en la casa de David su siervo,
Según lo había predicho desde antiguo *
por boca de sus santos profetas.

Es el Salvador que nos libra de nuestros enemigos, *
y de la mano de todos los que nos odian,
Realizando la misericordia que tuvo con nuestros padres, *
recordando su santa alianza y el juramento
que juró a nuestro padre Abrahán;
Para concedernos que, libres de temor,
arrancados de la mano de los enemigos, *
le sirvamos con santidad y justicia en su presencia, todos nuestros días.
Y a ti, niño, te llamarán profeta del Altísimo, *
porque irás delante del Señor a preparar sus caminos,
Anunciando a su pueblo la salvación, *
el perdón de sus pecados.
Por la entrañable misericordia de nuestro Dios, *
nos visitará el sol que nace de lo alto,
Para iluminar a los que viven en tinieblas y en sombra de muerte, *
para guiar nuestros pasos por el camino de la paz.
Gloria al Padre, y al Hijo y al Espíritu Santo: *
como era en el principio, ahora y siempre,
por los siglos de los siglos. Amén.

ADVENT RETREAT AND PRAYER SESSIONS
WHILE WAITING: An Advent Bread Baking Retreat Day
Saturday, December 11, 2021, 10:00 am to 2:30 pm
On site and on Zoom at Meeting ID 483-170-780.
All faith traditions and spiritual paths are welcome.
The simple task of bread baking replaces pre-holiday busyness and claims Christmas giving as
something that comes from our hands and heart. Whole wheat flour, water, yeast, salt, honey, oil
— simple ingredients are combined and kneaded into a loaf to be baked and served as an
expression of love for those we care about. Patient waiting for the dough to rise calls to mind all
that we wait for in our lives, claiming it as sacred time to reflect and to pray.
This retreat experience will take place both on Zoom and on site at St. Mark’s Episcopal Church
in Glen Ellyn, Illinois, where vaccination and masks are required and appropriate distancing will
be observed. All are asked to be present for the entire four and a half hour retreat.
The presenter is Bro. Joseph Kilikevice, OP, a friar of the Dominican Order, the founding director
of the Shem Center for Interfaith Spirituality, Oak Park, Illinois, and a director of interfaith
retreats. He seeks to bring peace into the world through interreligious understanding and respect.
Registration is required. Please go to https://bit.ly/30s3WCz to register. Then go to the
church's website to make a donation at https://bit.ly/3CmvS88. Then choose Advent Retreat as
your option. You will receive a copy of the bread recipe before the date in order for you to have
the ingredients on hand.
For more information, contact George Smith at rector@stmarksglenellyn.org.
23Advent Prayer Sessions
During Advent, in a time of waiting and anticipation, it can
be a lonely time, a joyful time, a time of reflection, a time
of stress, a time of great peace, and so much more.
Daughters of the King (DOK) would like to provide a time
and space for brief reflection, some quiet time, and prayer
together in the midst of this season, whatever it looks like for you this year. St. Mark's Daughters
of the King will be leading 30-minute prayer sessions in the chapel at St. Mark's in person on the
dates and times below. All parishioners are invited to join in any of these prayer times with us as
a time of peace, healing, joy, and fellowship with each other and with God as we lift up our hearts
to Him. Please contact Darcie Lambert at darcielambert@gmail.com if you have any questions.

FEAST OF OUR LADY OF GUADALUPE, SATURDAY, DECEMBER 11
Everyone is invited to a celebration of Our Lady of Guadalupe
on Saturday, December 11th!
What is the background for the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe?
The year was 1531. Juan Diego, who lived in poverty on the edge
of a city called Tenochtitlan, known today as Mexico City, was on
his way to Mass. Suddenly he saw a woman surrounded by a halo
of light. Songbirds sang as he gazed at her, and she told him that
she was Mary - and that she was there to let the world know that
she was the protector “of all people of every kind,”
acknowledging his poverty and indigenous ancestry. Then she
told him that she wanted a temple built in her honor at that
location, where a temple to the Aztec goddess Tonatzin had once
stood.
Juan Diego went to the Spanish bishop, who dismissed him and
his story. So he went back to find the Virgin to ask her to find a more prominent person to
accomplish her request. But she told him that he was the one. He went back to the bishop who
again refused to listen to him. On his fourth visit, Mary told him to extend his cloak while she
placed hundreds of picked spring roses into it. When Juan Diego went before the bishop, this
enormous pile of roses fell from his cloak onto the bishop's floor, and Mary's likeness appeared
24on the cloak, imprinted on the rough fabric. With the bishop believing the miracle, the temple was
built and Juan Diego’s now threadbare smock hangs in the Basilica of Guadalupe in Mexico City.
When people say “La Virgen” in Mexico, it is this vision of Mary they mean. You will see figures
of Mary wearing a robe spangled with stars, surrounded by a golden nimbus. She usually has black
ribbons at her wrists, a sign of her pregnancy. Dark-skinned Juan Diego is pictured venerating
Mary at her feet, who is also pictured as dark-skinned. As one of them, she loves the poor and
those who are of no value in the eyes of the world.
