The Season of Advent<\/strong><\/h3>\n

On Sunday, December 1st we begin the Advent Season. As we all know, Advent is a time of spiritual preparation for the Feast of the Incarnation. Our theme for Advent is \u201cBringing Jesus into the World.\u201d Our church will be decorated with a banner that depicts a pregnant Mary with a very loving and protecting St. Joseph. The image is meant to inspire our spiritual preparation just as a married couple prepares for the birth of their child. During pregnancy, much care is given to both the mother and the child. I imagine that both parents also prepare psychologically, emotionally, physically, financially, spiritually for the arrival of the new life. Such preparation is a beautiful time in the life of the parents and many blessings come along with it.<\/p>\n

Blessings also come with our spiritual preparation during Advent as we look forward to celebrating the birth of God as a human being in human history.<\/p>\n

So, what will we do to make Advent a special time for us? How can we transform this time into something sacred and turn it into an experience of encounter with God? What can we bring into our spiritual journey, into our prayers, and into the rhythm of life that can remind us that we are living in a special time? What experiences can we create with our
\nchildren and families that can help us consider that we all bring Christ\u2019s light into our world? What will we do as
\nindividuals and as a family to make Advent a time of encounter with God?<\/p>\n

How will you bring Jesus into the world?<\/p>\n

Try to balance your preparation for the Feast of the Incarnation with your preparation for Christmas. Try not to get lost in the crazy spending habits of Christmas that brings so much attention to material things that come and go. Zero in on the meaning of Jesus in your lives and in the lives of your loved ones. If you\u2019re going to spend a lot of money, spend it on preparing a wonderful meal that the family and friends will never forget. Spend it on creating beautiful memories for yourselves and your loved ones. And don\u2019t forget to create something wonderful for someone less fortunate than you. Take your treasures to the Christ that lives in each and every one of us.<\/p>\n

Happy Advent!
\nEst\u00e1n en mis oraciones y en mi coraz\u00f3n
\nPeace and Good

La temporada de Adviento<\/strong><\/h3>\n

El domingo 1 de diciembre comenzamos la temporada de Adviento. Como todos sabemos, el Adviento es un tiempo de
\npreparaci\u00f3n espiritual para la Fiesta de la Encarnaci\u00f3n. Nuestro tema para el Adviento es Traer a Jes\u00fas al mundo \u201d.
\nNuestra iglesia estar\u00e1 decorada con un estandarte que representa a una Mar\u00eda embarazada con un San Jos\u00e9 muy
\namoroso y protector. La imagen tiene el prop\u00f3sito de inspirar nuestra preparaci\u00f3n espiritual, tal como una pareja casada se prepara para el nacimiento de su hijo. Durante el embarazo, se brinda mucho cuidado tanto a la madre como al ni\u00f1o. Me imagino que ambos padres tambi\u00e9n se preparan psicol\u00f3gica, emocional, f\u00edsica, financiera y espiritualmente para la llegada de la nueva vida. Esta preparaci\u00f3n es un momento hermoso en la vida de los padres y muchas bendiciones vienen con ella.<\/p>\n

Las bendiciones tambi\u00e9n vienen con nuestra preparaci\u00f3n espiritual durante el Adviento, ya que esperamos celebrar el
\nnacimiento de Dios como un ser humano en la historia humana.<\/p>\n

Entonces, \u00bfqu\u00e9 haremos para que el Adviento sea un tiempo especial para nosotros? \u00bfC\u00f3mo podemos transformar
\neste tiempo en algo sagrado y convertirlo en una experiencia de encuentro con Dios? \u00bfQu\u00e9 podemos incorporar a
\nnuestro camino espiritual, a nuestras oraciones y al ritmo de vida que nos recuerde que estamos viviendo en un tiempo
\nespecial? \u00bfQu\u00e9 experiencias podemos crear con nuestros hijos y familias que nos ayuden a considerar que todos
\nllevamos la luz de Cristo a nuestro mundo? \u00bfQu\u00e9 haremos como individuos y como familia para hacer del Adviento un
\ntiempo de encuentro con Dios?<\/p>\n

\u00bfC\u00f3mo traer\u00e1s a Jes\u00fas al mundo?<\/p>\n

Intenta equilibrar tu preparaci\u00f3n para la Fiesta de la Encarnaci\u00f3n con tu preparaci\u00f3n para la Navidad. Intenta no perderte en los locos h\u00e1bitos de gasto de la Navidad que atraen tanta atenci\u00f3n a las cosas materiales que van y vienen. Conc\u00e9ntrate en el significado de Jes\u00fas en tu vida y en la de tus seres queridos. Si vas a gastar mucho dinero, g\u00e1stalo en
\npreparar una comida maravillosa que la familia y los amigos nunca olviden. G\u00e1stalo en crear hermosos recuerdos para
\nti y tus seres queridos. Y no olvides crear algo maravilloso para alguien menos afortunado que t\u00fa. Lleva tus tesoros al
\nCristo que vive en todos y cada uno de nosotros.<\/p>\n

\u00a1Feliz Adviento!
\nEst\u00e1n en mis oraciones y en mi coraz\u00f3n.
\nPaz y Bien
