Come, Lord Jesus! Come! May this Advent be a time of deep renewal in my life, dear Lord. May it be a time in which I strive with all my heart to seek out Your gentle and profound voice. Give me the grace, dear Lord, to turn away from the many noises of the world that compete for my attention and to turn only to You and to all You wish to say. Come, Lord Jesus, come into my life more deeply during this Advent season. Jesus, I trust in You. Reflections semanal: ¡Ven, Señor Jesús! ¡Ven! Que este Adviento sea un tiempo de profunda renovación en mi vida, querido Señor. Que sea un tiempo en el que me esfuerzo con todo mi corazón por buscar Tu voz dulce y profunda. Dame la gracia, querido Señor, de apartarme de los muchos ruidos del mundo que compiten por mi atención y de volverme solo hacia Ti y todo lo que quieras decir. Ven, Señor Jesús, entra en mi vida más profundamente durante este tiempo de Adviento. Jesús, en Ti confío.

Liturgy of the Hours-"Praying the Breviary""Seven times a day I praise you, because your judgments are righteous." PS 119:164“From ancient times the Church has had the custom of celebrating each day the liturgy of the hours.
