Advent: December 18th
Fourth Sunday of Advent "Prepare ye the way of the Lord: Make straight in the wilderness His paths; Every valley shall be exalted; Every mountain and hill shall be made low; And the crooked shall be made straight; And the rough ways plain" (Is. 40:3, 4). Then shall you see the salvation of God!  MT 1:18-24
Weekly Reflection:
What do you think of when you hear that Joseph was righteous? A righteous person is not only a person who follows the law but, most importantly, a righteous person is one who strives for holiness while maintaining an active relationship with God. Today, we focus on the coming birth of Jesus, and the important salvific titles of Son of David, God with us (Emmanuel), and God saves (Jesus) that remind us that God is present and acting. However, let’s return to righteous Joseph. It is because Joseph is close to God that he heard and followed God’s word delivered through the angel. Are we growing in our relationship with God? Do we listen to and follow God’s Word in our daily lives? God is with us. Are we with God? Reflexión Semanal: ¿En qué piensa usted cuando escucha que José era justo? Una persona justa no es únicamente una persona que sigue la ley pero, aún de manera más importante, una persona justa es una que se esfuerza por alcanzar la santidad mientras mantiene una relación activa con Dios. Hoy nos enfocamos en el próximo nacimiento de Jesús, y en los importantes y salvíficos títulos de Hijo de David, Dios con nosotros (Emanuel) y Dios salva (Jesús) que nos recuerdan que Dios está presente y activo. Sin embargo, volvamos a José el justo. Es debido a que José era cercano a Dios que escuchó y siguió su Palabra la cual le fue entregada a través del Ángel ¿estamos nosotros creciendo en nuestra relación con Dios? ¿Escuchamos y seguimos la Palabra de Dios en nuestra vida diaria? Dios está con nosotros ¿Estamos nosotros con Dios? Weekly Collect:
Pour forth, we beseech you, O Lord, your grace into our hearts, that we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ your Son was made known by the message of an Angel, may by his Passion and Cross be brought to the glory of his Resurrection. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Collect Semanal: Derramaos, oh Señor, vuestra gracia en nuestros corazones, para que nosotros, a quienes la Encarnación de Cristo, vuestro Hijo, fue dada a conocer por el mensaje de un ángel, por su pasión y por su cruz, sean llevados a la gloria de su Resurrección. Que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo, un solo Dios, por los siglos de los siglos.
