Weekly Reflection
Reflexión Semanal
Getting ready
Preparándonos
Today’s readings and prayers prepare us to commemorate the long awaited historical moment when God sent
his Son to redeem the world. The gospel documents the
time of Jesus’ life by citing the governor and tetrarchs
who were in power. The gospel also includes Isaiah’s
prophesy that “a voice of one crying in the desert”
would encourage all to repent and prepare for the
Lord’s coming. This speaks to John the Baptist’s recognition that Jesus is the Messiah, the fulfillment of the
promise recorded in Baruch’s Old Testament writing.
Advent commemorates the anticipation of Jesus’ birth.
Although we can never experience the joy of seeing
Jesus during his life on earth, we are blessed with the
knowledge and assurance that our salvation has been
won through his birth, death, and resurrection. Saint
Paul speaks to this joyful confidence in his letter to the
Philippians when he writes, “And this is my prayer: that
your love may increase ever more and more in
knowledge and every kind of perception, to discern
what is of value, so that you may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ.” This is the focus of our Advent as we spend the next weeks preparing our hearts, discerning as Paul suggests so we will be ready when Jesus
comes. We focus on his coming as a
baby, commemorating that singular day,
so that we may be renewed in our preparation for his second coming. We light
the second candle on the Advent wreath
and pray, “Almighty and merciful God,
may no earthly undertaking hinder those
who set out in haste to meet your Son,
[and] may our learning of heavenly wisdom gain us admittance to his company” (Collect).
Las lecturas y las oraciones de hoy nos preparan para
conmemorar el tan esperado momento histórico, cuando
Dios mandó a su Hijo para redimir al mundo. El Evangelio documenta el tiempo en el que vivió Jesús al citar
los nombres del gobernador y el tetrarca que en ese
tiempo tenían el poder. El Evangelio también incluye la
profecía de Isaías sobre “la voz que clama en el desierto,” la cual motivaría a todos a arrepentirse y a prepararse para la venida del Señor. Esta voz fue Juan el Bautista quien reconoció que Jesús es el Mesías, el cumplimiento de la promesa anotada en el libro de Baruc del
Antiguo Testamento. El Adviento conmemora la anticipación del nacimiento de Jesús. Aunque no podemos
experimentar el gozo de ver a Jesús durante su vida
terrenal, somos bendecidos al saber y estar seguros de
que nuestra salvación ha sido ganada por su nacimiento, muerte, y resurrección. San Pablo habla de esta
confianza gozosa en su carta a los Filipenses cuando
escribe, “Esta es mi oración por ustedes: Que su amor
siga creciendo más y más y se traduzca en un mayor
conocimiento y sensibilidad espiritual. Así podrán escoger siempre lo mejor y llegaran limpios e irreprochables
al día de la venida de Cristo.” Este es el enfoque
de nuestro Adviento, pasar las siguientes semanas
preparando nuestros corazones, discerniendo como lo sugiere san Pablo para que estemos preparados cuando venga Jesús. Nos enfocamos en su
venida como bebe, conmemorando un solo día,
para poder ser renovados en nuestra preparación
para su segunda venida. Encendemos la segunda
vela de la corona de Adviento y oramos, “Que
nuestras responsabilidades terrenas no nos impidan, Señor, reconocer la venida de tu Hijo, y que la
sabiduría que viene de Ti, nos disponga a recibirlo
y a participar de su propia vida.” (Oración Colecta)

The logo and the motto together provide a
fitting summary of what the Jubilee Year
is all about. The motto Merciful Like the
Father (taken from the Gospel of Luke,
6:36) serves as an invitation to follow the
merciful example of the Father who asks
us not to judge or condemn but to forgive
and to give love and forgiveness without
measure (cfr. Lk 6:37-38). The logo – the
work of Jesuit Father Marko I. Rupnik – presents a
small summa theologiae of the theme of mercy. In fact, it
represents an image quite important to the early Church:
that of the Son having taken upon his shoulders the lost
soul demonstrating that it is the love of Christ that brings
to completion the mystery of his incarnation culminating in
redemption. The logo has been designed in such a way
so as to express the profound way in which the Good
Shepherd touches the flesh of humanity and does so with
a love with the power to change one’s life. One particular
feature worthy of note is that while the Good Shepherd, in
his great mercy, takes humanity upon himself, his eyes
are merged with those of man. Christ sees with the eyes
of Adam, and Adam with the eyes of Christ. Every person
discovers in Christ, the new Adam, one’s own humanity
and the future that lies ahead, contemplating, in his gaze,
the
love
of
the
Father.
The scene is captured within the so called mandorla (the
shape of an almond), a figure quite important in early and
medieval iconography, for it calls to mind the two natures
of Christ, divine and human. The three concentric ovals,
with colors progressively lighter as we move outward,
suggest the movement of Christ who carries humanity out
of the night of sin and death. Conversely, the depth of the
darker color suggests the impenetrability of the love of the
Father who forgives all. Taken from www.usccb.org.

Safe Environment
Did you Know?
If you let your kids go to the mall
by themselves to buy Christmas
presents, you should talk to them
about potential dangers they
need to guard against. Christmas
is the busiest time of year for commercial retail, which
means that malls and shopping centers will be more
crowded, and younger kids and teens who are alone may
be a target for kidnappers and other dangers. Talk to your
children about being aware of their surroundings, and
where to go for help. Be in contact with them while they’re
shopping, and have a check-in place and time set if
you’re splitting up. For more information please visit:

Consejos de seguridad
para ir
de compras esta navidad
Si deja que sus hijos vayan al
centro comercial (mall) ellos
solos para comprar regalos
navideños, usted debe hablar
con ellos sobre los peligros
potenciales de los que ellos deben resguardarse. La
navidad es la temporada más ocupada del año para las
tiendas, lo que significa que los centros comerciales
estarán más llenos y los niños más pequeños y los
adolescentes que estén solos podrían ser un objetivo
para secuestros u otro tipo de peligros. Platique con sus
hijos sobre estar alertas de sus alrededores, y donde ir
para recibir ayuda. Permanezca en contacto con ellos
mientras estén de compras y tenga un lugar y una hora
fija donde deben ir a reportarse si usted se separa de
ellos. Para más información, por favor visite http://
