Bishop's Advent Message
|
My dear brothers and sisters, PAX!
We are already at the threshold of one of the most beautiful liturgical seasons of the Christian year: Advent. During the season of Advent, the Church invites us to reflect on how conscious we are that Christ will return, that Christ will come again and raise His people and restore His people and restore all things in Him. We do not know the day or the hour and that is why the Church, during this season, invites us to reflect with grateful and expectant hearts and to ask the Lord to come as we sing every year: O come, O come, Emmanuel O come, Thou Dayspring, come and cheer And ransom captive Israel Our spirits by Thine advent here That mourns in lonely exile here Disperse the gloomy clouds of night Until the Son of God appear And death's dark shadows put to flight Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel Shall come to thee, O Israel O come, Thou Rod of Jesse, free O come, Thou Key of David, come Thine own from Satan's tyranny And open wide our heavenly home From depths of hell Thy people save Make safe the way that leads on high And give them victory o'er the grave And close the path to misery Advent is a time of joy and hope, a time to draw closer to the Christ who is coming. Let us be the presence of Jesus in the most needy of our society: those who live alone, the abandoned, the sick, the imprisoned, the marginalized, the homeless, the addicted, the abused and rejected, and those in need of liberation, peace, and love. Let us prepare the ways of the Lord. In Christ Jesus, Bp. A. Morales, OSB, DD Quincy IX Vertical Divider

Mis queridos hermanos, PAX!
Nos encontramos ya a las puertas de una de las más hermosas estaciones litúrgicas del año cristiano: Adviento. En este tiempo de Adviento la Iglesia nos invita a reflexionar sobre cuán conscientes estamos que Cristo volverá, que Cristo vendrá de nuevo y levantará a su pueblo y restaurará a su pueblo y restaurará todas las cosas en El. No sabemos el día ni la hora y es por eso que la Iglesia en este tiempo nos invita a reflexionar y con corazones agradecidos y expectantes pedir al Señor que venga ya como cantamos cada año: ¡Oh ven, oh ven, Emmanuel! ¡Oh, ven Tu, Aurora celestial! Libra al cautivo Israel Alúmbranos con Tu verdad Que sufre desterrado aquí Disipa toda oscuridad Y espera al Hijo de David Y danos días de solaz. ¡Alégrate, oh Israel! Vendrá, ya viene Emmanuel. ¡Oh, ven Tú, Vara de Isaí! ¡Oh, ven Tú, Llave de David! Redime al pueblo infeliz Abre el celeste hogar feliz Del poderío infernal haz que lleguemos bien allá Y dale vida celestial y cierra el paso a la maldad. Adviento es tiempo de regocijo y de esperanza, tiempo de unirnos más al Cristo que viene. Seamos presencia de Jesús en los más necesitados de nuestra sociedad, de los que viven solos, abandonados, los enfermos, los encarcelados, los marginados, los sin hogar, los adictos, los abusados y rechazados, los necesitados de liberación, de paz y de amor. Preparemos los caminos del Señor. En Cristo Jesús, Bp. A. Morales, OSB, DD Quincy IX |
