Words from our Pastor Unas palabras de nuestro Pastor

December 6, 2020

II Sunday of Advent

Dear brothers in Christ Jesus our Hope:

We have entered the New Year, a liturgical year in

which we hope to live a new and different life in the

name of Jesus. The Advent that we began last

week is a time of preparation for the feast of re-

membrance of our salvation in which God has had

mercy on humanity by sending his Son to us in the

reality of mortal flesh. Advent is a time of prepara-

tion that we remember year after year this manifes-

tation on the feast of Christmas that is why on Ad-

vent Sundays it is a constant invitation to the peo-

ple of change of life. To remove the bad things that

we can have to receive Jesus in a clean and hum-

bled heart, where that child who reflects God's ten-

derness finds a place to be born and transform the

lives of those who accept him.

The Prophet Isaiah on this Sunday, raises his voice

and invites us to raise our voices, to shout the good

news "God comes with his power, He will feed the

flock and take the lambs in his arms." In a time like

the one we are living in, we need to shout to the

world, let us trust God and prepare ourselves spirit-

ually. Saint Paul reminds us that we must live our

faith trusting in God and in this way we will obtain

the peace of God, a peace that God expects of us

not as a selfish peace, but a peace lived for the

common good. We need prophets who invite us to

prepare the way of the Lord, men and women like

Saint John the Baptist who shout, "Prepare the way

of the Lord." New things are coming in life and we

need to be prepared, let us not let time pass and

we cannot enjoy the blessing of God, God who will

be with us, Emmanuel.

I invite you brothers as we prepare for Christmas that we try to approach confession and cleanse our lives of sin to enjoy a Christmas full of Peace and Love with our loved ones.

II Domingo de Adviento

Queridos hermanos en Cristo Jesus nuestra Espe-

ranza: Hemos entrado al año nuevo, un año litúrgi-

co en el cual esperamos vivir una nueva y diferente

vida en nombre de Jesus. El adviento que hemos

comenzado la semana pasada es un tiempo de pre-

paración para la fiesta del recuerdo de nuestra sal-

vación en que Dios se ha apiadado de la humani-

dad al enviarnos a su Hijo en la realidad de la carne

mortal. Adviento es un tiempo de preparación que

recordamos año con año esta manifestación en la

fiesta de la Navidad, es por eso que los domingos

de adviento es una invitación constante al pueblo

de cambio de vida. De quitar las cosas malas que

podemos tener para recibir a Jesus en un corazón

limpio y humillado, donde ese niño que refleja la

ternura de Dios encuentre un lugar donde nacer y

transformar la vida de quienes lo aceptan.

El Profeta Isaías en este Domingo, levanta la voz y

nos invita a levantar la voz, a gritar la buena noticia

“Dios viene con su poder, El apacentara el rebaño y

tomara a los corderos en sus brazos”. En un tiempo

como el que estamos viviendo necesitamos gritar al

mundo, confiemos en Dios y preparémonos espiri-

tualmente. San Pablo nos recuerda que debemos

vivir nuestra fe confiando en Dios y así obtendre-

mos la paz de Dios, una paz que Dios espera de

nosotros no como una paz egoísta, sino una paz

vivida por el bien común. Necesitamos profetas que

nos inviten a preparar el camino del Señor, hom-

bres y mujeres como San Juan Bautista que griten

“Preparen el camino del Señor”. Vienen nuevas co-

sas en la vida y necesitamos estar preparados, no

dejemos que pase el tiempo y no podamos disfrutar

de la bendición de Dios, Dios que estará con noso-

tros, el Emmanuel.

Los invito hermanos al prepararnos para la navidad que nos tratemos de acercar a la confesión y lim-piar nuestra vida del pecado para gozar de una na-vidad llena de Paz y Amor con nuestros seres que-ridos.
