Sacred Heart Catholic Church Fourth Sunday of Advent ~ December 20, 2020
Reflection from the Stewardship Office:
FIAT
It is said that God will not be outdone in generosity. When you
look at today’s first reading, you see all the promises he
makes to King David. His only request is that David build
a proper house for the Lord to dwell in. Here, we see David’s
Fiat. In the gospel, that Fiat is mirrored in Mary’s words, “May it be done
to me according to your word.” She has agreed to become the new Ark of
the Covenant, and the angel Gabriel has told her of the saving grace that
will come through her son. In both cases, God had giant plans for His
people and relied upon the cooperation of His children to bring those plans
to fruition. The same is true today! As stewards of God’s gifts, let us open
our hearts and let His generosity flow through us!

20 de diciembre
Se dice que Dios no se quedará atrás en generosidad. Cuando miras la primera lectura de hoy, ves todas las
promesas que le hace al rey David. Su única petición es que David construya una casa adecuada para que el Señor
more en ella. Aquí vemos el Fiat de David. En el evangelio, ese Fiat se refleja en las palabras de María: "Hágase
en mí según tu palabra". Ella ha aceptado convertirse en la nueva Arca de la Alianza, y el ángel Gabriel le ha
hablado de la gracia salvadora que vendrá a través de su hijo. En ambos casos, Dios tenía planes gigantes para su
pueblo y confió en la cooperación de sus hijos para llevar esos planes a buen término. ¡Lo mismo es cierto hoy!
Como administradores de los dones de Dios, ¡abramos nuestro corazón y dejemos que Su generosidad fluya a
través de nosotros!
