The Last Days of Advent
Today we entered into the last days of Advent, the seven days
before the Vigil of Christmas. During these days, our anticipation
of Christmas increases in intensity, making us aware not only of
how much we have yet to do to prepare for Christmas but how
much we have yet to do to welcome Christ more completely
into our lives. With the knowledge that the days of Advent are
coming to an end, we are led to those means by which Christ
comes to us in the Church and asks us to welcome Him into our
lives, especially to the Sacraments of the Holy Eucharist and of
Penance.
As we anticipate the celebration of Christmas, we want to be
with our Lord in the Holy Mass each day, if possible, offering
ourselves to Him and with Him in the Eucharistic Sacrifice. We
want to spend time with Him in prayer before the Blessed
Sacrament, either reposed in the tabernacle or exposed for
adoration. We also desire to meet our Lord in the Sacrament of
Penance. There is no better way to make our final preparation
for Christmas than to spend time with our Eucharistic Lord and
to meet Him in the Sacrament of Penance.
Our final preparation for the celebration of the Birth of the Lord
brings us to Christmas Eve. The final hours before Christmas are
observed with a great recollection, the concentration of our
attention upon the great mystery of the Incarnation, and the
substantial and unchanging meaning which it gives to our lives.
Whatever may be lacking in our preparation for the celebration
of Christmas, in the disposition of our hearts to receive Christ
fully into our hearts. On Christmas Eve, there can be no place in
our hearts for discouragement, let alone despair, but rather our
hearts must be filled with confidence in God’s love, with the
December 20, 2015
sure hope that He will redeem us from all our sins, even as He
has sent His only-begotten Son to do. How can we doubt the
mercy of God Who comes to us in all humility and poverty to be
for us our All! He will not permit His plan of infinite mercy and
love toward us to fail!
May the celebration of our Lord’s Birth, this year, bring us all a
deeper knowledge of how much God has loved us and continues
to love us in our Lord Jesus Christ! May such knowledge, which
indeed comes most fully to us in the Holy Eucharist, make us the
bright and tireless bearers of God’s love!
Los Últimos Días de Adviento
Hoy entramos en los últimos días de Adviento, los siete días
antes de la Vigilia de la Navidad. Durante estos días, nuestra
anticipación de la Navidad crece con gran intensidad, hacienda
que nos demos cuenta no tan solo de lo, mucho que nos
tenemos que preparar todavía para la Navidad sino también
como debemos darle la bienvenida a Cristo de una manera más
completa en nuestras vidas. Con el conocimiento de que los
días de Adviento van a llegar a su fin, somos guiados por medio
de los medios en los cuales Cristo viene a nosotros en la Iglesia y
se nos pide darle la bienvenida en nuestras vidas, especialmente
en los Sacramentos de la Santa Eucaristía y de la Penitencia.
En anticipación de la celebración de la Navidad, nosotros
queremos estar con nuestro Señor en la Santa Misa cada día, si
fuera posible, ofreciendo nos a Él y con El en el sacrificio de la
Eucaristía. Queremos pasar tiempo con El en oración antes del
Santísimo Sacramento, ya sea que este reposando en el
tabernáculo o expuesto en la Hora Santa. También deseamos
encontrar a nuestro Señor en el Sacramento de la Confesión.
No hay mejor manera de prepararnos para la Navidad más que
pasar tiempo con nuestro Señor de la Eucaristía y encontrarnos
con El en el Sacramento de la Confesión.
Nuestra preparación final para la celebración del Nacimiento
del Señor nos trae a la Noche Buena. Las horas finales antes de
la Navidad se observan con una gran recolección, la
concentración de nuestra atención se pone en el gran misterio
de la Encarnación, y el significado sustancial y que no cambia el
cual le da sentido a nuestras vidas.
Cualquier cosa que faltase en nuestra preparación de la
celebración de Navidad, en la disposición de nuestros corazones
para recibir a Cristo plenamente en nuestros corazones. En la
Noche Buena, no puede haber lugar en nuestros corazones para
estar desanimados, mucho menos para estar desesperados, sino
que nuestros corazones deben estar llenos de confianza en el
amor de Dios, con la segura esperanza de que Él nos redimirá de
todos nuestros pecados, pues Él ha mandado a Su Único hijo
para hacer eso. Como podemos entonces dudar en la
misericordia de Dios que vino a nosotros con toda humildad y
pobreza para estar con nosotros y para ser todo para nosotros!
El no permitirá que su plan de infinita misericordia y amor falle!
Que esta celebración del nacimiento de nuestro Señor, este
ano, nos lleve a un conocimiento más profundo de lo mucho que
Dios nos ama y continua amándonos en nuestro Señor Jesucristo
Que tal conocimiento, el cual nos llega más plenamente en la
Santa Eucaristía, nos haga ser brillantes portadores del amor de
Dios!
I was thirsting for poverty, chastity, obedience. I asked to be made wholly clean by you, to be clothed by you, to be made
resplendent by you. –Saint Peter Canisius

Merry Christmas
He is wrapped in swaddling
clothes,
but
vests
us
with
immortality. He found no place in
the inn, but makes for Himself a
temple in the hearts of believers, in
order
that
weakness
might
become strong, strength become weak. (St.
Augustine) May God fill you and all those you love
with the light of Jesus Christ. May His light shine always
in your homes, and may the birth of our Savior fill you
with joy this Christmas and be your support throughout
the New Year! Merry Christmas! You will be
remembered with our blessing, affection, gratitude,
and prayers at Mass on Christmas Day.
