TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — From you,
Bethlehem, shall come forth one
who is to be ruler in Israel.
(Micah 5:14a).
Psalm — Lord, make us turn to
you; let us see your face and we
shall be saved (Psalm 80).
Second Reading — By Christ
doing the will of God, we have
been consecrated
(Hebrews 10:510).
Gospel — “Blessed are you among
women, and blessed is the fruit of
your womb” (Luke 1:39,45).

LIGHT
All the darkness of the world
cannot put out the light of one small
candle.
—Anonymous
A NEW ORDER
“O, Little Town of Bethlehem.” A Philadelphia clergyman named Phillips
Brooks penned these popular words back in the mid-1800s, but the prophet
Micah could have used them first. Micah knew that from small packages great
treasures come. In today’s first reading, he knew that from tiny Bethlehem
would come the Lord.
The writer in Hebrews explains that Christ came to us to do the will of
God by establishing a new order and by becoming our perfect sacrifice. And
Luke tells us that Elizabeth and John, the infant in her womb, understand that
great and wondrous things are at hand with the coming of the Lord.
This is the Fourth Sunday of Advent. Soon we celebrate anew the fruit of
Mary’s womb. As we are told in Hebrews, Jesus’ new order is being
established even today. And as Micah proclaims, his greatness is reaching
even now to the ends of the earth.

Cuarto Domingo
de Adviento
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — De ti, Belén,
saldrá el que será el jefe de Israel
(Miqueas 5:1-4a).
Salmo — Señor, muéstranos tu
favor y sálvanos
(Salmo 80 [79]).
Segunda lectura — Al hacer Cristo
la voluntad del Padre, es decir, al
ofrecerse él mismo, hemos sido
consagrados (Hebreos 10:5-10).
Evangelio —Bendita eres entre las
mujeres, y bendito es el fruto de tu
vientre (Lucas 1:39-45).
UN ORDEN NUEVO
“Oh, pequeña aldea de Belén”; un clérigo de Filadelfia llamado Phillips
Brooks escribió este popular villancico a mediados de los 1800, pero el
profeta Miqueas hubiera podido hacerlo primero. Miqueas sabía que el
tesoro grande viene en estuche pequeño. En la primera lectura de hoy, él sabía
que del pueblito de Belén vendría el Señor.
El escritor de la carta a los hebreos explica que Cristo vino a nosotros para
hacer la voluntad de Dios de establecer un nuevo orden y ser un sacrificio
perfecto. Y Lucas nos dice que Isabel y Juan, el pequeño en sus entrañas,
comprenden que grandes maravillas han llegado con la venida del Señor.
Este es el Cuarto Domingo de Adviento. Mañana celebramos de nuevo el
fruto de tu vientre, María. Como se nos dice en Hebreos, el nuevo orden de
Jesús se está creando hoy mismo. Y como proclama Miqueas, su grandeza
llega ahora mismo hasta los confines de la tierra.

Praying Hands:
How can you be a Minister to the Sick without ever leaving your own
home? It’s easy!
Every week our bulletin has a list of people who have requested our prayers
for healing, for hope, for courage and for strength. They need our prayers
and they believe that our prayers are powerful. So, may I
suggest that every day we pray for one person from that list.
We can name that person as we bring our prayers to the
heart of God and ask our loving God to lay His healing
hands on them.
In that way, these people will no longer be names on a list,
they will be people who are special to us and we can be
prayer warriors in our own homes. Try it!
