Sacred Heart Catholic Church First Sunday of Advent ~ December 1, 2019
Reflection from the Pastor:
Advent is the beginning of the Liturgical Year. Despite what some
people have been taught over the years, it is not a penitential season like
Lent (even though they are technically the same color). Advent is a time of
preparation, hope, and anticipation.
The coming of the Eternal Son of God is celebrated in three ways:
past, present, and future. (Past) Jesus came for us in our flesh through the
Incarnation. (Present) He comes to us in the Church and through grace.
(Future) He will come at the end of time to judge the living and the dead.
During this season we also reflect on the last things: death,
judgement, heaven, and hell. In fact, the Church encourages preaching and
catechesis on eschatology (theology of the end) as essential during this time
of year.
Advent also draws us toward certain key players
who were prepared and chosen by God to make possible the
Incarnation of His Son Jesus Christ.
Our eyes turn toward Mary, John the Baptist, Joseph,
Elizabeth and Zechariah. We hear a lot from the prophet
Isaiah who is always pointing to the coming of the
Anointed One.

Cursillo de Cristiandad – Ultreya El lunes, 23 de diciembre – 12-2 PM
Meditación:
El Adviento es el principio del Año Litúrgico. A pesar de lo que algunas personas han sido enseñadas a través de
los años, no es una temporada de penitencia como la Cuaresma (aún cuando técnicamente son del mismo
color). El Adviento es un tiempo de preparación, de esperanza y anticipación.
La llegada del Hijo Eterno de Dios se celebra en tres formas pasado, presente, y futuro: En El (Pasado) Jesús
llega a nosotros en nuestra piel a través de la Encarnación. (Presente), El llega a nosotros en la Iglesia y a través
de la gracia.
Durante está temporada nosotros también reflexionamos en las últimas cosas: la muerte, el juicio, el cielo, y el
infierno. De hecho la Iglesia nos invita a hacer oración y Catequesis en escatología (la teología del fin) como algo
esencial durante este tiempo del año.
El adviento también nos conlleva a ciertos personajes importantes, quienes se han preparado y elegido por Dios
para hacer posible la Encarnación de su Hijo Jesús Cristo.
Nuestros ojos se recrean y vuelven a María, Juan el Bautista, José, Elizabeth y Zacarias. Hemos oído mucho del
profeta Isais, quien esta siempre apuntando al que ha de llegar, de El Anunciado.
