First Sunday of Advent NOVEMBER 29, 2015 "And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great glory". -- Luke 21:27 Today we enter in the advent lesson of hope and expec- tation. And as we reflect on today's Gospel Lesson, it would appear that Jesus is urging each of us to be ready and prepared. Jesus tells us in today's Lesson that the time will come when ... There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world; for the powers of the heaven will be shaken. Having spoken out about these dire events to come, Je- sus suddenly shifts gears, so to speak, and in the same breath adds these reassuring words: And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great power and glory. Now, when these things begin to take place, raise your heads, because your re- demption is drawing near (Lk. 21:27). Jesus is telling you in today's Lesson that even when you get the feeling that the whole world is crashing down on you, it is still possible for you to "stand erect and hold your head high," because He, the Lord, is with you in all His power and glory. Even under the heaviest burden, it is still possible for you to say, I can hold my head high because I know the Lord is with me in all His power and glory." Our Christian faith offers us no illusion that we are a People chosen for exemption from pain and suffering. It holds no promise of a trouble-free life of easy comfort. It grants us no immunity from evil and its consequences. It makes no exception to the rule of God's judgment. Ra- ther, our Christian faith provides us with the spiritual equilibrium and the moral stamina we need to face up to the burdens and the fears and the evil days that overtake -- often in the most unexpected ways. The Christian life is not just a matter of saying, "The Lord is with us, the Lord is going to win the victory, so we'll just stand aside and let Him do it." On the contrary, if we genuinely believe He is going to win the victory, we will want to be a working part of this movement into the future. We will become more and more aware that God is using us as His instruments in the building of His Kingdom of Love. We will become more and more iden- tified with what He is doing by virtue of what we are doing in the world out there.

"And then they will see
the Son of Man coming
in a cloud with power
and great glory". --
Luke 21:27 Today we enter in the advent lesson of hope and expec-tation. And as we reflect on today's Gospel Lesson, it would appear that Jesus is urging each of us to be ready and prepared. Jesus tells us in today's Lesson that the time will come when ... There will be signs in the sun and moon and stars, and upon the earth distress of nations in perplexity at the roaring of the sea and the waves, men fainting with fear and with foreboding of what is coming on the world; for the powers of the heaven will be shaken. Having spoken out about these dire events to come, Je-sus suddenly shifts gears, so to speak, and in the same breath adds these reassuring words: And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with great power and glory. Now, when these things begin to take place, raise your heads, because your re-demption is drawing near (Lk. 21:27). Jesus is telling you in today's Lesson that even when you get the feeling that the whole world is crashing down on you, it is still possible for you to "stand erect and hold your head high," because He, the Lord, is with you in all His power and glory. Even under the heaviest burden, it is still possible for you to say, I can hold my head high because I know the Lord is with me in all His power and glory."

Primer Domingo de Adviento
29 de NOVIEMBRE, 2015
“Entonces verán al Hijo
del hombre en una nu-
be, con gran poder y
majestad.
- -Lucas 21:27 Hoy iniciamos una temporada de adviento de esperanza y expectación. Al reflexionar sobre el Evangelio de hoy, pareciera como que Jesús nos está urgiendo a estar listos y preparados. Jesús nos dice que… “Habrá señales prodigiosas en el sol, en la luna y en las estrellas. En la tierra, las naciones se llenaran de angus-tia y de miedo por el estruendo de las olas del mar; la gente morirá de angustiosa espera por las cosas que ven-drán sobre el mundo.” Habiendo hablado de estos terribles eventos, Jesús de pronto cambia de tono en su explicación y nos ofrece palabras de aliento y consuelo, “levanten la cabeza, por-que se acerca la hora de su liberación.” Por el hecho de que el Señor está con nosotros, si es posible aclamar con la cabeza levantada que no estamos solos, Él nos acom-paña con todo su poder y gloria. Nuestra fe Cristiana nunca nos ofrece la falsa ilusión que como pueblo elegido estamos exentos de dolor y sufri-miento. Nunca nos promete una vida fácil de comodi-dad. No nos hace inmunes al mal y sus consecuencias. El nunca hace excepción a la voluntad y juicio de Dios. Al contrario, nuestra fe Cristiana nos provee el equilibrio espiritual y la fortaleza moral que necesitamos para en-frentar las terribles pruebas que siempre nos acechan y que llegan de pronto a nuestras vidas – en ocasiones de la manera más inesperada. Para Un Cristiano verdadero nunca será suficiente con decir, “El Señor está conmigo. Él ya nos ganara la vic-toria, quedándonos en la acera como simple espectado-res.” Por el contrario, si genuinamente creemos que Él nos ganara la victoria, entonces desearemos ser parte de este movimiento hacia el futuro. Nos haremos cada día más conscientes de como Dios nos usa como instrumen-tos en el establecimiento de su Reino de justicia, paz y amor. Seremos capaces de identificarnos con lo que El hace en el mundo por lo que nosotros también hacemos en la construcción de un mundo mejor. Paz y Bien, Padre Miguel Ceja HORA SANTA
