HIS WORD TODAY
Second Sunday of Advent
“In every prayer I utter, I rejoice as I plead on
your behalf, at the way you have all continually
helped promote the gospel from the very first
day. I am sure of this much, that he who has
begun the good work in you will carry it through
to completion right up to the day of Christ
Jesus…It is my wish that you may be found rich
in the harvest of justice which Jesus Christ has
ripened in you, to the glory and praise of God.”
Greeting card writers cannot compare with such
beautiful words offered today by Saint Paul. He
reveals the content of his prayer, prayer for others,
tracing the journey of members of this first Christian
community. He made them feel good, reflecting on
what he saw in them, and offered his thanks to God
for what He had done for them.
Today the message is no different as we direct our
focus to the advent message of John, to ‘prepare
the way of the Lord.’ We do so by straightening our
lives, ironing out the bumps in our road, and
seriously accept God’s challenge for us in Advent
2015. The good work He has begun must continue
as we live the message Paul sent to the
Philippians.
When worrying about what to get others and do for
others, take a hint at putting Paul’s words into
practice for yourself and those for whom you care.
John went about proclaiming announcing a call for
change, personally and collectively. The church
echoes the same message for us today. Make this
second week special.
First Reading: Baruch 5:1-9
Baruch tells Jerusalem to rejoice because of God's plan
to bring his exiled people back to Jerusalem. He
emphasizes God's power and describes his plan to
lower mountains and fill gorges to make their journey
easier.
Second Reading: Philippians 1:4-6, 8-11
Paul encourages the Philippians to love each other
completely. He hopes that their love and understanding
will continue to grow so that they are prepared for the
return of Christ.
Gospel: Luke 3:1-6
Luke describes the work John the Baptist carried out to
help people prepare for the birth of Jesus. Luke also
discusses who was in power at the time, which helped
historians to figure out the exact dates of certain events,
including Jesus' birth.

SU PALABRA HOY
Segundo Domingo de Adviento
“Siempre y en todas mis oraciones pido con
alegría por todos ustedes, pensando en la
colaboración que prestaron a la difusión del
Evangelio, desde el comienzo hasta ahora.
Estoy firmemente convencido de que aquel que
comenzó en ustedes la buena obra la irá
completando hasta el Día de Cristo Jesús…
pido que serán encontrados llenos del fruto de
justicia que proviene de Jesucristo, para la
gloria y alabanza de Dios.”
Ni la gente que escribe tarjetas se puede comparar
con las bellas palabras de San Pablo hoy. El
revela el contenido de su oración, pidiendo por
otros, recordando la jornada de los miembros de
esta primera comunidad cristiana. Los hace sentir
bien, reflejando lo que vio en ellos y dando gracias
a Dios por lo que Él había hecho por ellos.
El mensaje de hoy no es diferente ya que nos
enfoca al mensaje de adviento de San Juan, para
‘preparar el camino del Señor.’ Lo hacemos al
enderezar nuestras vidas, removiendo barreras y
seriamente aceptando el reto de Dios para
nosotros en el Adviento de 2015. Las buenas
obras que El ha comenzado deben continuar
mientras vivimos el mensaje que San Pablo envió a
los Filipenses.
Al angustiarnos por lo que debemos comprar o
hacer por otros, pongamos en práctica las palabras
de San Pablo por nosotros y nuestros seres
queridos. San Juan proclamó un llamado para
cambiar, personal y colectivamente. La iglesia
refleja el mismo mensaje para nosotros hoy. Haga
de esta segunda semana algo especial.
SEGUNDO DOMINGO DE ADVIENTO
Primera Lectura: Baruc 5:1-9
Baruc le dice a Jerusalén que se regocije porque Dios
tiene planeado traer de vuelta a los exilados de
Jerusalén. Baruch hace énfasis en el poder de Dios y
describe cómo aplanará montañas y rellenará cañadas
para facilitar su jornada.
Segunda Lectura: Filipenses 1:4-6, 8-11
Pablo alienta a los Filipenses a amarse los unos a los
otros completamente. Espera que su amor y
comprensión siga creciendo para que puedan estar
preparados para el regreso de Cristo.
Evangelio: San Lucas 3:1-6
San Lucas describe el trabajo que Juan el Bautista lleva
a cabo para ayudar a la gente a prepararse para el
nacimiento de Jesús. Lucas también explica quién
estaba en el poder en ese entonces, lo cual ha ayudado
a los historiadores a calcular las fechas exactas de
algunos acontecimientos, incluyendo el nacimiento de
Jesús.
