He emphasizes God's power and describes his plan to lower mountains and fill gorges to make their journey easier. Second Reading: Philippians 1:4-6, 8-11 Paul encourages the Philippians to love each other completely. He hopes that their love and understanding will continue to grow so that they are prepared for the return of Christ. Gospel: Luke 3:1-6 Luke describes the work John the Baptist carried out to help people prepare for the birth of Jesus. Luke also discusses who was in power at the time, which helped historians to figure out the exact dates of certain events, including Jesus' birth. ©2000 Bon Venture Services, Inc. Bautista Acc.

I am sure of this much, that he who has begun the good work in you will carry it through to completion right up to the day of Christ Jesus…It is my wish that you may be found rich in the harvest of justice which Jesus Christ has ripened in you, to the glory and praise of God.” Greeting card writers cannot compare with such beautiful words offered today by Saint Paul. He reveals the content of his prayer, prayer for others, tracing the journey of members of this first Christian community. He made them feel good, reflecting on what he saw in them, and offered his thanks to God for what He had done for them. Today the message is no different as we direct our focus to the advent message of John, to ‘prepare the way of the Lord.’ We do so by straightening our lives, ironing out the bumps in our road, and seriously accept God’s challenge for us in Advent 2015. The good work He has begun must continue as we live the message Paul sent to the Philippians. When worrying about what to get others and do for others, take a hint at putting Paul’s words into practice for yourself and those for whom you care. John went about proclaiming announcing a call for change, personally and collectively. The church echoes the same message for us today. Make this second week special. UNA FRESCA PERSPECTIVA DE LAS LECTURAS DOMINICALES SU PALABRA HOY por el Reverendo William J. Reillly Segundo Domingo de Adviento 6 de diciembre de 2015 “Siempre y en todas mis oraciones pido con alegría por todos ustedes, pensando en la colaboración que prestaron a la difusión del Evangelio, desde el comienzo hasta ahora. Estoy firmemente convencido de que aquel que comenzó en ustedes la buena obra la irá completando hasta el Día de Cristo Jesús… pido que serán encontrados llenos del fruto de justicia que proviene de Jesucristo, para la gloria y alabanza de Dios.” Ni la gente que escribe tarjetas se puede comparar con las bellas palabras de San Pablo hoy. El revela el contenido de su oración, pidiendo por otros, recordando la jornada de los miembros de esta primera comunidad cristiana. Los hace sentir bien, reflejando lo que vio en ellos y dando gracias a Dios por lo que El había hecho por ellos. El mensaje de hoy no es diferente ya que nos enfoca al mensaje de adviento de San Juan, para ‘preparar el camino del Señor.’ Lo hacemos al enderezar nuestras vidas, removiendo barreras y seriamente aceptando el reto de Dios para nosotros en el Adviento de 2015. Las buenas obras que El ha comenzado deben continuar mientras vivimos el mensaje que San Pablo envió a los Filipenses. Al angustiarnos por lo que debemos comprar o hacer por otros, pongamos en práctica las palabras de San Pablo por nosotros y nuestros seres queridos. San Juan proclamó un llamado para cambiar, personal y colectivamente. La iglesia refleja el mismo mensaje para nosotros hoy. Haga de esta segunda semana algo especial.
