Eternal God, ever faithful to your promises, hasten

Advent 2018�The Season of Advent begins this Sunday and initiates a brand new Church year. There are four Sundays and nearly four weeks to Advent. The Advent Season draws our attention to two very important events in our experience of Jesus Christ. First we are reminded of the Second Coming of Christ when, as it says 1 Corinthians 15, “He will place all His enemies under his feet.” We are also reminded the first coming of Jesus as a child in Bethlehem. The scripture which supports our observance of Advent is focused on the two comings of Christ.��
God speaks to us through his scripture and teaches how to dispose ourselves to preparation for the Coming of the Lord. This year during Advent I recommend to our congregation a sequence of readings and meditations which are called the Lectio Divina, designed to provide us enrichment and focus during Advent season. These can be prayed any time during the current week of Advent. In each Sunday Bulletin during Advent 2018 I will include an appropriate Lectio Divina which can be prayed during that week of Advent. To use the Lectio Divina I recommend that you find a quiet place and give yourself 20 minutes minimally to read, reflect, contemplate and pray each Sunday’s Lectio Divina. ��

LECTURAS, REFLEXIONES Y ORACIONES�
~ FR. GREGORY CHISHOLM, SJ~�
PRIMERA LECTURA � Jeremías 33:14�16 Ya viene el día en que el Señor cumplirá las promesas que hizo a Israel. Un descendiente de David vendrá y traerá justicia para todos. “Jerusalén estará segura y la llamarán el Señor es nuestra justicia”.�
SALMO RESPONSORIAL 24:4bc�5ab, 8�9, 10 y 14
A ti, Señor, levanto mi alma. �
SEGUNDA LECTURA 1 Tesalonicenses 3: 12�4, 2 Pablo rezaba para que sus seguidores se amaran unos a otros y vivieran en santidad y sin mancha. Pedía que ellos recibieran fortaleza interior.�
LECTURA DEL EVANGELIO Lucas 21:25�28, 34�36 Habrá muchas señalels en los cielos y en la tierra cuando el Hijo del Hombre venga en su gloria. Por tanto, debemos estar vigilantes y listos para que cuando él venga, podamos comparecer seguros ante el Señor. �
Dios eterno, siempre fiel a tus promesas, acelera ese día tan esperado en el que establecerás la justicia en la tierra.�
Levanta de nuestros corazones el peso de la autocomplacencia y fortalécenos para la santidad.�
En medio del caos y la confusión, deja que tu gente se mantenga segura. Levanta la cabeza para saludar la redención que se acerca, la venida de nuestro Señor Jesucristo con todos sus santos, tu Hijo que fue, quién es y quién ha de venir, y que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Santo. Espíritu, Dios por los siglos de los siglos.�
Hoy, mientras damos el primer paso en nuestro camino a través del Adviento, volvamos a
comprometernos a estar alertas al Señor que se mueve a través de nuestros días, incluso cuando
vamos en la dirección equivocada.�
Oración: Amado Señor, sabemos que no siempre estamos atentos a ti o agradecidos por la forma en que le das sentido
a nuestros días. Ayúdanos a recordar que nunca nos dejarás vagar por esta vida perdida y sola. Tu estas alli siempre�
~ REFLEXIÓN DEL ADVIENTO ~�
Adviento 2018�
La temporada de Adviento comienza este domingo e inicia un nuevo año de la Iglesia. Hay cuatro domingos y casi cuatro semanas para el Adviento. La temporada de Adviento atrae nuestra atención a dos eventos muy importantes en nuestra experiencia de Jesucristo. Primero, recordamos la Segunda Venida de Cristo cuando, como dice 1 Corintios 15, “Él colocará a todos sus enemigos debajo de sus pies”. También se nos recuerda la primera venida de Jesús cuando era niño en Belén. La escritura que apoya nuestra observancia del Adviento está enfocada en las dos venidas de Cristo.�
�
Dios nos habla a través de su escritura y nos enseña cómo disponer de nosotros mismos para prepararnos para la venida del Señor. Este año durante el Adviento recomiendo a nuestra congregación una secuencia de lecturas y meditaciones que se llaman la Lectio Divina, diseñada para brindarnos enriquecimiento y concentración durante la temporada de Adviento. Estos pueden ser orados en cualquier momento durante la semana actual de Adviento. En cada boletín del domingo durante el Adviento 2018 incluiré una Lectio Divina apropiada que se puede rezar durante esa semana de Adviento. Para usar la Lectio Divina, te recomiendo que encuentres un lugar tranquilo y te dediques un mínimo de 20 minutos para leer, reflexionar, contemplar y rezar cada Lectio Divina del domingo.�
