LA TARDANZA DE DIOS En tiempos de grandes dificultades los burlones se mofan diciendo: “¿Dónde está Dios? ¿Por qué no viene tu Dios a salvarte ahora?”. Y nosotros, gente de fe, respondemos casi igual como lo hizo Pedro en la segunda lectura de hoy: la “tardanza” de la segunda venida del Señor no es ningún tipo de castigo ni un fallo en la promesa divina, sino un signo de amor de la paciencia de Dios. Dios está dando a todo el mundo la oportunidad de buscar el arrepentimiento. Dios no hace la vida más difícil. Más bien, una vez más disminuye la carga para los judíos exiliados que regresan a su país después del cautiverio en Babilonia. Fue Dios quien los guio personalmente, preparándoles una “calzada recta” para ellos a través del desierto. Nos unimos a nuestros antepasados en la fe, que esperaban poder ver al Escogido de Dios delante de ellos y que finalmente se dieron cuenta de que el Señor también caminaba a su lado. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Prepara el camino del Señor; proclama la buena nueva (Isaías 40:1-5, 9-11). Salmo — Muéstranos, Señor, tu misericordia y danos tu salvación (Salmo 85 [84]). Segunda lectura — El Señor no tarda en guardar su promesa donde está la justicia de Dios (2 Pedro 3:8-14). Evangelio — Yo los he bautizado con agua, el los bautizara con el Espíritu Santo (Marcos 1:1-8).

In Loving Memory + + +

GOD’S DELAY In times of great difficulties scoffers taunt us, “Where is God? Why hasn’t your Lord come to save you now?” And we of faith respond much in the same way as Peter did in today’s second reading: the “delay” of the Lord’s second coming is not any type of punishment or failure to keep the divine promise, but a loving sign of God’s patience. God is giving everyone the chance to seek repentance. God does not make life more difficult. Rather, God lessens our burdens as once before for the Jewish exiles returning home to Judea after captivity in Babylon. It was God who personally led them, making a “straight highway” for them across the desert. We join with our ancestors of faith, who hoped that they might see God’s Chosen One before them and who eventually realized that the Lord was also walking with them side by side. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TODAY’S READINGS First Reading — The rugged land shall be made a plain; the rough country, a broad valley (Is 40:1-5, 9-11) Psalm — Lord, let us see your kindness, and grant us your salvation (Psalm 85). Second Reading — Conduct yourselves in holiness, hastening the coming of the day of God (2 Pt 3:8-14) Gospel — I have baptized you with water; he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit (Mark 1:1-8).

Don’t be naughty—be nice! A pastor is walking down the street one day; he notices a very small boy trying to press a doorbell on a house across the street. The pastor moves across the street, walks up behind the little fellow and, placing his hand kindly on the child's shoulder leans over and gives the doorbell a solid ring. Crouching down to the child's level, the pastor smiles benevolently and asks, "And now

what, my little man?" To which the boy replies, "Now we run!"
