CONSTRUCTION 2017 FUND

Christmas and Year-End Gifts Appreciated

Our building project can still use some contributions since we have decided to change the acoustical ceiling tiles and lighting for all of the “old” offices. LED lighting will be placed in all of these offices as well as new acoustic ceiling tiles. This will cost about $20,000. We have decided that this is the best time to do this while many old ceiling tiles have been removed due to construction rather than opening up the ceilings another time. Please continue to be generous in your contributions to this Fund. THANK YOU!

III DOMINGO DE ADVIENTO AÑO B PRIMERA LECTURA ISAÍAS 61, 1-2A. 10-11

SEGUNDA LECTURA 1ª TESALONICENSES 5, 16-24 EVANGELIO DE SAN JUAN 1, 6-8. 19-28

“<<Yo soy la voz del que clama en el desierto: rectificad el camino del Señor, como dijo el profeta Isaías>>” La semana pasada (II Domingo de Adviento) San Marcos nos revelo la persona de Jesús, lo que él es “Cristo, Hijo de Dios”. (Del cual no es digno ni tan siquiera de inclinarse para desatarle la correa de sus sandalias)

Este III Domingo de Adviento es llamado: “Domingo de la Alegría” en latín “Gaudate” viene de las primeras palabras de la antífona de colecta: “Gaudate in Domino Semper” (alégrense en el Señor siempre) ¿por qué es llamado domingo de la alegría? Porque se nos revela el nombre completo del niño que está por nacer. El primer domingo se nos dijo de “velar y estar despiertos” que alguien importante esta por regresar. El segundo domingo se nos anunció que viene alguien más grande que Juan el Bautista, que bautizará con Espíritu Santo. Hoy Tercer Domingo de Adviento, San Juan Bautista nos revela a lo que viene Jesús. Viene a “Salvarnos”, hoy tenemos el nombre completo de Jesús: “Jesucristo, Hijo de Dios Salvador” (nos lo dice la Virgen María en el Magníficat que tenemos como Salmo Responsorial) ésta Navidad viene Jesús a salvarnos, de nuestros pecados, de nuestras esclavitudes, y de nuestras opresiones. La salvación que nos trae Jesús, viene de Dios desciende de lo alto. Nosotros los cristianos esperamos siempre esta salvación como un don gratuito de Dios que supera toda expectativa humana.

No debemos confundir Salvación con liberación son dos cosas que dicen casi lo mismo pero que son en su contenido dos cosas diferentes. La liberación se refiere a algo temporal y especial. Por ejemplo, la liberación de una opresión política social o económica o la liberación de un estado emocional, como lo hace la psicología. Salvación es otra cosa la salvación esta íntimamente unida a la vida. Cristo viene a pasarnos de la muerte a la vida, la salvación es eterna, la liberación nos da un suspiro temporal la salvación nos da vida eterna, como dice: “Jesús yo he venido para que tengan vida y vida en abundancia”

¿Podríamos pagar por la salvación que viene de lo alto?, la respuesta es ¡NO! nada que tu des o intentes pagar sería suficiente, como dice el salmo: “dar todos los bienes de mi casa por su amor seria como despreciarlo”. Esto no quiere decir que no tienes que hacer nada. Primero hay que convertirse, segundo enderezar el camino del Señor y tercero preparar un lugar en nuestra vida a Jesús y después dejarlo nacer.

El “no” de Juan el Bautista, prepara el “sí” de Jesús (como los “no” de mi mama que aprobaban los “sí” de mi papa) Juan puede decir no porque sabe quién es, sabe cuál es su misión y sabe a quién espera, sabe su lugar en la historia de la salvación. Sabe cuál es su posición ni más ni menos.

Padre Sergio Ramos

Confesiones Individuales el miércoles, 20 de diciembre

Tendrá una oportunidad más para recibir el Sacramento de la reconciliación antes de Navidad. Confesiones se escucharán a partir de las 9:00 AM y 7:00 PM el miércoles, 20 de diciembre. No habrá confesiones el sábado 23 de diciembre. El perdón de Dios está esperando, no se demore!
