2nd Sunday of Advent: December 6 That we may resist the lure of holiday advertising and instead concentrate on the message of simplicity and trust that is found in the Christmas manger sce-

ne. “And this is my prayer: that your love may increase ever more and more in knowledge and every kind of perception, to discern what is of value…” (Philippians 1:9-10) Glittery holi-day ads can blind us to our stewardship values and distort our needs and wants. It is important that during this season of end-less buying we remember that each of us also has the need to give back to God and to those that are in need.

2o domingo de adviento: 6 de diciembre Para que seamos fuertes frente al atractivo de la pub-licidad festiva y nos concentremos en el mensaje de simplicidad y confianza que encontramos en la esce-

na del pesebre navideño. "Esto es lo que pido en oración: que el amor de ustedes abunde cada vez más en conocimiento y en buen juicio, para que disciernan lo que es mejor..." (Filipenses 1:9-10) Los brillantes avisos comerciales nos pueden cegar en nuestros valores de servicio y distorsionar nuestras necesidades y deseos. Es importante que, durante esta temporada de un sin fin de compras, recordemos que cada uno de nosotros también tiene la necesidad de devolverle la mano a Dios y a aquellos que lo necesitan.
