Dear Parishioners,
Fourth Sunday of Advent
Echoing Mary’s Decision
The angel Gabriel today confronts Mary with a mystery. The mystery of
salvation in Christ is not a mystery that is solved, but a reality beyond our
comprehension that we must choose to enter into. In the liturgy of the Eastern
Church, everyone waits to see if Mary will enter into the mystery: God waits, Adam
and Eve and all the souls of the dead who long for paradise wait, angels wait for
new heavenly companions. And there is much rejoicing when her decision is
“yes.”
We have less dramatic choices offered to us, but the mystery of our
salvation in Christ is by no means “solved.” We may understand it a bit better due
to Mary’s “yes.” We may be a bit closer to it through the passion, death, and
resurrection of Jesus Christ. But it still remains a mystery to which we all must give
our own “yes.” Soon we will be singing “O come, let us adore him.” May our
Advent prayer, our echo of Mary’s “yes,” continue then, so we may enter into the
mystery of our salvation in Jesus Christ, God among us.
Fr. Wilfredo Contreras

Estimados Feligreses
Imitar La Decisión De María
El ángel Gabriel hoy le presenta a María un misterio. El misterio de
salvación en Cristo no es un misterio que se pueda resolver, sino una realidad más
allá de nuestro entendimiento en la cual nos decidimos a participar. En la liturgia de
la Iglesia Oriental, todos esperan para ver si María participará en el misterio: Dios
espera, Adán y Eva y todas las almas de los muertos que anhelan el Paraíso esperan,
los ángeles esperan tener nuevos compañeros celestiales. Y hay gran regocijo
cuando su decisión es un “sí”.
A nosotros se nos ofrecen opciones menos dramáticas, pero el misterio de
nuestra salvación en Cristo de ningún modo queda “solucionado”. Puede que ahora
lo entendamos un poco mejor gracias al “sí” de María. Puede que estemos un poco
más cercanos a él mediante la pasión, muerte y resurrección de Jesucristo. Pero un
misterio al cual todos debemos dar nuestro propio “sí”. Ya pronto estaremos
cantando “Venid y adoremos”. Que nuestra oración de Adviento, a imitación del
“sí” de María, continúe para que podamos participar en el misterio de nuestra
salvación en Jesucristo, Dios-con-nosotros.
