HOPEFUL EXPECTATION

Our liturgical year begins with the season of Advent—a time of hopeful

expectation of the coming of the Lord. On the First Sunday of Advent we look

forward to the end of time when we will awaken to the dawn of Christ’s new day.

Today we hear Isaiah speak of a day when God’s power will have brought

universal peace and God’s Word will have instructed all people, radiating God’s

“light” (teachings) into all of human society. Only when humanity walks “in the

light of the LORD” (Isaiah 2:5), when all people desire to be instructed “in [God’s]

ways” (Isaiah 2:3), will the world be set aright and our deepest longings fulfilled.

The reading from Romans calls us to “awake from sleep” for this final “day is at

hand” (Romans 13:11, 12). Together this Sunday’s scriptures proclaim our

Christian faith that Jesus is the One who will finally come to fulfill God’s plan of

salvation.

ESPERAR CON GOZO

Nuestro año litúrgico comienza con el tiempo de Adviento, una temporada de

expectativa por la venida del Señor. En el Primer Domingo de Adviento

anticipamos el fin de los tiempos cuando despertaremos al amanecer del nuevo

día de Cristo.

Hoy escuchamos a Isaías hablar del día en que el poder de Dios habrá traído

paz universal y la Palabra de Dios habrá instruido a todos los pueblos, irradiando

la “luz” (enseñanzas) de Dios a toda la raza humana. Sólo cuando la humanidad

camina “a la luz del Señor” (Isaías 2:5), cuando todos los pueblos deseen marchar

“por sus sendas” (Isaías 2:3), el mundo se enderezará y nuestros más profundos

anhelos serán cumplidos. La lectura de Romanos nos llama a despertar “del

sueño” porque la salvación “está más cerca” (Romanos 13:11, 12). Las lecturas de

este domingo proclaman nuestra fe cristiana en que Jesús es Aquél que al final

vendrá a dar cumplimiento al plan de salvación de Dios.
