El Primero Domingo en Adventio
This Sunday is the first day of the new liturgical year for the Church,
and we find our-selves with the same end of time, or apocalyptic, readings
leading up to the solemnity of Christ the King, which was the previous Sunday.
The beginning of the year strangely carries the same theme as the end of the
year. This is due to the fact that the birth of a new year is the death of the old,
representing strife and struggle that has been with us in and through our past;
however this time is also one of hope in an embarkation onto a new journey
into a new world. Advent is a season intended for us to purge from our lives
the things, or memories, which hold us back from embracing a future in Christ.
There are many grudges in family relationships and mistakes we have made
in our lives. However, embrace this season of preparation of new birth; for
a glorious future lies in our choice to stand forward and cry out to our Lord
saying, “Here I am” ready to be transformed into the life of my baptism, divine
birth. Baptism is the sacrament of rebirth and God’s action to remake us into
sons and daughters of His divine family. The Father and Creator of all things is
no longer resting but creating again in the world in order to construct for Himself a holy kingdom. Advent is the season for us to prepare ourselves for this
holy labor and to work with God.
However, on entering the holiday season marked by our Thanksgiving
celebration on Thursday, I do hope your family celebration was satisfying
for you. Unfortunately, the holiday season is often marked with contradicting
emotions and experiences depending on the state of our personal relationships.
Generally, if we have family and friends around with a depth of closeness and
intimacy, braving the shopping lines and festive preparation will be a fulfilling
labor of love. However, if we feel lonely due to distance, or emotional isolation,
we find the season to be deeply disappointing and painful regardless of our
financial situation. The holiday season is a magnifier of our overall relational
experience throughout the year.
If you have a strong network of relationships, use this season to increase
those bonds to even greater levels with the holy presence of Christ. Increase
your network by reaching out to others with a heart of charity and welcome.
Often the smallest of gestures of friendship and hospitality can impact lives
of others in magnificent ways. The incarnation occurs each day, and we, the
body of Christ, have the great ability and privilege to express the gospel by
inviting others into our lives.
If on the other hand your relational network is weak and dissatisfying,
you must turn to the basic realty of love in your life otherwise depression and
hopeless may settle into your heart. First and most obvious you must ask,
what is LOVE? God is Love and so it is through the revelation communicated
in the incarnation of Christ that the establishment of quality and satisfying love
relationships is accomplished. It is in Christ and a relationship with God where
our life begins and is fulfilled throughout eternity. In order to strengthen your
relational network, turn to the relationship of love with Christ. By establishing
confidence through a Love in Christ, you can fearlessly build up your relational
network.
Knowing that Christ has your back means that we can face the difficulties,
disappointments, and betrayals which we face in others and ourselves. When
connected to Christ, we not only have a love relationship with God, but also
with all those whom are within His body. When connected to Christ, we are
never alone either in the world to come or in this one now. Remember always
the Lord’s name “Emmanuel” God with us.
St. Rose of Lima Church
Este Domingo es el primer día del nuevo año litúrgico para la Iglesia,
y tenemos las mismas lecturas acerca del fin de los tiempos, o apocalípticas,
que el domingo pasado que observamos la Solemnidad de Cristo Rey. El
comienzo del año curiosamente trae el mismo mensaje que el fin del año.
Esto es debido a que el nacimiento de un nuevo año significa la muerte del
anterior, representando la lucha y esfuerzo que llevamos dentro de nosotros
y en nuestro pasado. No obstante, este tiempo también es de esperanza al
embarcar en una nueva jornada hacia un mundo nuevo. El Adviento es una
temporada para que eliminemos de nuestras vidas las cosas, o memorias, que
nos detienen de emprender un futuro con Cristo. Existen muchos rencores en
las relaciones familiares y errores en nuestras vidas. Sin embargo, acojan esta
temporada de preparación para un nuevo nacimiento. Se nos espera un futuro
glorioso si elegimos enderezarnos y firmemente clamar al Señor diciendo,
“Aquí estoy” listo para ser transformado a la vida y nacimiento divino de mi
bautismo. El bautismo es el sacramento de volver a nacer y la acción de Dios
convirtiéndonos en hijos de Su divina familia. El Padre y Creador de todas las
cosas no está reposando sino creando otra vez en el mundo un reino divino. El
Adviento es una temporada para prepararnos para esta labor sagrada y trabajar
junto con Dios.
Al iniciarse la temporada navideña a partir de la celebración de Acción
de Gracias este pasado jueves, espero que su festejo familiar haya sido
gratificante para usted. Desafortunadamente, la temporada navideña suele
traer emociones y experiencias contradictorias según el estado de nuestras
relaciones personales. Generalmente, si nos rodeamos de familia y amigos con
los que llevamos relaciones de cercanía y afecto, la lucha de hacer las compras
y los preparativos de fiesta será una gratificante labor de amor. Pero, si nos
sentimos solos debido a distancias o aislamiento emocional, esta temporada
se convierte en algo tremendamente decepcionante y angustioso sin importar
nuestro estado económico. La temporada navideña amplifica la experiencia de
cómo hemos llevado nuestras relaciones durante el año.
Si usted tiene una red de relaciones fuerte, use esta temporada para
fortalecer aún más esos lazos con la bendita presencia de Cristo. Aumente su
red ayudando a los demás con un corazón de caridad y acogimiento. Los gestos
más sencillos de amistad y hospitalidad pueden impactar vidas de maneras
maravillosas. La encarnación ocurre todos los días, y nosotros, como el cuerpo
de Cristo, tenemos la gran habilidad y privilegio de expresar el Evangelio
invitando a los demás a nuestras vidas.
Por otra parte si su red de relaciones es débil y no gratificante, se debe fijar
en la realidad básica del amor en su vida, si no la decepción y la desesperación
se asentaran en su corazón. Antes que nada, hay que preguntarse, ¿qué es
el AMOR? Dios es Amor y es por medio de la revelación comunicada en la
encarnación de Cristo que logramos tener relaciones gratificantes de amor y
afecto. Nuestra vida empieza en Cristo y en una relación con Dios, y así se
realiza hasta la eternidad. Para fortalecer y aumentar sin miedo su red de
relaciones, acuda a la relación de amor con Cristo.
Sabiendo que tenemos a Cristo como respaldo significa que podemos
enfrentar las dificultades, decepciones y traiciones de otros y de nosotros
mismos. Al estar conectados con Cristo tenemos no solo una relación de amor
con Dios, sino con todos los que forman Su cuerpo, y nunca estaremos solos
ni en el mundo futuro ni en este. Recuerden siempre el nombre del Señor,
“Emmanuel”- Dios con nosotros.
