Today is the Fourth Sunday of Advent. We have been preparing our hearts and homes for Jesus’ coming at the end of this week. Today’s readings remind us that God has special plans for all of us. Mary’s “yes” to God allowed Jesus to come into the world and save us from sin. What is God asking you to say “yes” to? - - - - - - - - - Hoy es el cuarto domingo de Adviento. Hemos estado preparando nuestros corazones y hogares para la venida de Jesús al final de esta semana. Las lecturas de hoy nos recuerdan que Dios tiene planes especiales para todos nosotros. El "sí" de María a Dios permitió que Jesús viniera al mundo y nos salvara del pecado. ¿A qué te pide Dios que digas "sí"?
The Third Sunday of Advent is also known as “Gaudete Sunday”. Today, the season of Advent shifts focus from “The Lord is coming” to “The Lord is near”. (El Tercer Domingo de Adviento también se conoce como "Domingo Gaudete". Hoy, la temporada de Adviento cambia el enfoque de "El Señor viene" a "El Señor está cerca".)
Today is the 2nd Sunday of Advent. In today’s readings, we hear Isaiah foretelling of John the Baptist, who preached repentance in the desert. Jesus is coming…are we ready? (Hoy es el segundo domingo de Adviento. En las lecturas de hoy, escuchamos a Isaías prediciendo sobre Juan el Bautista, quien predicó el arrepentimiento en el desierto. Jesús viene ... ¿estamos listos?)
We have added daily Advent reflections from Bishop Robert Barron to our parish website, in English and in Spanish. (Hemos agregado reflexiones diarias de Adviento del obispo Robert Barron al sitio web de nuestra parroquia, en inglés y en español.)
