SEGUNDO DOMINGO DE ADVIENTO Prepare the way of the Lord   John the Baptist is undoubtedly one of the most representative characters of the Advent season. It was up to him to prepare the way in the public life of Jesus. When the time was right, he began to prepare the way for the proclamation of the Good News. “A shoot shall sprout from the stump of Jesse”, and it was necessary to wait for it in a dignified manner. Concretely, John invites conversion to recognize faults, symbo

F or this first Sunday of Advent, St. Matthew invites us in his Gospel to live vigilant, awake and prepared for when the Lord returns. Saint Paul, in his letter to the Romans, also exhorts us to prepare for the arrival of the "Day of the Lord" because our salvation is ever near... and, the prophet Isaiah reminds us that the Lord Jesus, the Messiah, will be the Arbiter of the nations and the Judge of all peoples... it is necessary to walk illuminated by the light of his truth.

Cristo Rey J esus crucified is for many the sign of a defeated king, but in God’s eyes this tragic event is the sign of God’s victory over evil and death.   Although Jesus had to endure ridicule, mistreatment, and suffering... all of that became the most tangible proof of God’s love for us human beings.   St. Paul describes the kingship of Christ, placing it above what we understand by kingship. “Christ is image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For in him

T his Sunday's readings have an apocalyptic tone. This means that we are ending our liturgical year... And rather than summarizing everything we have experienced and celebrated during 2025, we must concentrate on the essentials:   To become aware of our problems, difficulties and concerns and to seek in Jesus, Our Lord, the light and strength necessary so that we may face the historical moment we are living in a lucid and sensible way.   The prophet Malachi announces the comi

The church of living stones The temple, as the house and place of encounter between God and his people, cannot be considered only in a material sense. In fact, the most important temple is the one that is built with the living stones, which are each believer, each person who is part of the community and gives it life. Many communities do not even have a building to live their faith, but that does not prevent them from coming together to pray, to share their experience of fait

difuntos I f God is the owner and source of life, it is not possible for him to abandon us in death at that decisive moment of our existence. St. Paul reminds us: " No one lives for himself and no one dies for himself; if we die, we die to the Lord; so whether we live or die, we are the Lord's."   We Christians confess that the incarnation of the Son of God is the presence of divine love manifested in Christ definitively; this incarnation continues, in some way, in every one

fariseo y el pecador The Lord is not far from His faithful T he refrain of response to the psalm sums up this Sunday’s message of God’s Word very well. He is not far away, he does not turn a deaf ear to the prayer of his children, especially the humblest. Though not unduly partial toward the weak, yet he hears the cry of the oppressed.   The parable of the two men praying in the temple invites us to reflect on the way we do our personal prayer. What things could we change and

G od is not at all like the judge in The Parable. God knows very well the injustices suffered by the poor and unprotected... of all his sons and daughters. And from his mercy he comes in favor of all of us.   The message of the Gospel is clear, it is good news: God is on the side of the defenseless. It is not like the judges of this world who favor the powerful and influential more.   Jesus reminds his disciples (all Christians) that we must always put our trust in the Father
