“The Lord does not delay in keeping His promises, though some consider it ‘delay.’ Rather He shows you generous patience since He wants no one to perish but all to come to repentance… I send my messenger before you to prepare your way, a herald voice in the desert crying, ‘Make ready the way of the Lord clear him a

straight path.’” The letter of Peter and Isaiah’s message in the gospel of Mark, provide a wonderful opportunity to begin this second week of advent. Somehow it is easy, or convenient, to forget or presume why Jesus came two thousand years ago. A lost people needed a savior, to bring them back to union with their creator. He came, revealed the Father’s love for us and still invites us to respond to that love. Do I see my need today, and the needs of my family and our world? Let’s face it, our messed up world needs a savior, not a political leader or powerful military strength, but someone to free us from sin and all that divides us, the barriers which keep us from growing in holiness, in grace, or love of God and neighbor. Advent invites us to focus on our need from the Lord today. Advent, the great time of hope and expectation calls us to make ready, the way of the Lord, to have Him into our hearts and the hearts of others. ‘Come Lord Jesus.’ “El señor no tarda en cumplir lo que ha prometido, como algunos se imaginan, sino que tiene paciencia con ustedes porque no quiere que nadie perezca, sino que todos se conviertan… Yo envío a mi mensajero delante de ti para prepararte el camino. Una voz grita en el desierto: ‘Preparen el camino del Señor, allanen sus senderos.’” La carta de San Pedro y el mensaje de Isaías en el evangelio de San Marcos proveen una maravillosa oportunidad para comenzar esta segunda semana de adviento. De alguna forma es fácil, o conveniente, el olvidar o asumir la razón por la que Jesús vino hace dos mil años. Gente perdida necesitaba un salvador, para traerlos de regreso a la unión con su creador. El vino, reveló el amor del Padre por nosotros y continúa invitándonos a responder a ese amor. ¿Veo mi necesidad hoy, y las necesidades de mi familia y el mundo? Aceptemos el hecho de que nuestro desquiciado mundo necesita un salvador, no un líder político ni fuerza militar ponderosa, sino a alguien que nos libere del pecado y de todo lo que nos divide, de las barreras que no permiten que crezcamos en santidad, en gracia, en amor a Dios y al prójimo. El adviento nos invita a enfocarnos en la necesidad del Señor hoy. Adviento, el gran tiempo de oportunidad y expectación nos llama a preparar el camino del Señor, a tenerlo en nuestros corazones y el corazón de otros. ‘Ven Señor Jesús.’

L’anno B del ciclo triennale delle letture è l’anno di Marco. Eppure non si comincia dal paragrafo iniziale del suo Vangelo, che sarà oggetto di lettura nella settimana prossima: si parte dal punto in cui terminerà la penultima settimana dell’anno, con l’annuncio del ritorno di Cristo: “Allora vedranno il Figlio dell’uomo venire sulle nubi

con grande potenza e gloria”. A prima vista, ciò può sembrare strano ed illogico. Invece, nella liturgia, c’è un’estrema sottigliezza nell’effettuare il cambiamento di tono: la nostra attenzione, che nelle ultime settimane era centrata sul giudizio e sulla fine del mondo, si sposta ora sul modo di accogliere Cristo: non con paura, ma con impazienza, proprio come un servo che attende il ritorno del padrone. In quanto preparazione al Natale, l’Avvento deve essere un tempo di attesa nella gioia. San Paolo interpreta il nostro periodo d’attesa come un tempo in cui dobbiamo testimoniare Cristo: “Nessun dono di grazia più vi manca, mentre aspettate la manifestazione del Signore nostro Gesù Cristo”
