Saint Joseph Parish
Pastor's Note - First Sunday of Advent
“Be watchful! Be alert! You do not know when the time will come." (Mark 13:33)
Today is the First Sunday of Advent. We begin once again the liturgical cycle of celebrating the life of
Christ, that we continue to deepen our understanding, our history of salvation, conforming our lives to Christ,
and proclaiming the good news to others. In The gospel today Jesus reminds us to be watchful and alert for we
do not know when the day of The Lord will be coming. Advent season is a time of great anticipation. Will we
be ready to receive The Lord and share in the joy of his promise? We live in a time when we are preoccupied
with a variety of things that we see matters. We are preoccupied with school, work, sports, material things, or
whatever. Who is to say that these are not important? Indeed they may be, but we must ask the question, will
this be enough in the end. What will be missing in our lives when The Lord finally comes? Thus we can say,
when we enter the season of Advent, that we are presented with the opportunity for a "redo". We are given
another chance to celebrate more fruitfully and in a deeper way the life of Christ, throughout the liturgical
year, so that we can be more effective in witnessing and sharing it with others, our family and friends, the
good news of the Lord's coming.
Let the Spirit prepare and open our hearts to celebrate the joy of the Lord's coming.
God bless!!
Father Brian Atienza
Nota del Pastor Primer Domingo de Adviento
“Por lo tanto, manténganse ustedes despiertos y vigilantes, porque no saben cuándo llegara el
momento. (San Marcos 13:33)
Hoy es el primer Domingo de Adviento. Empezamos una vez más el ciclo litúrgico que celebra la vida de
Cristo; que continuara profundizando nuestro entendimiento de nuestra historia de salvación, modelando
nuestras vidas a Cristo, y proclamando las buenas nuevas a otros. En el evangelio de hoy Jesús nos recuerda
que necesitamos estar vigilantes y alertas por no saber cuándo vendrá el día del Señor. El tiempo de Adviento
es un tiempo de gran expectativa. ¿Estaremos listos para recibir al Señor y compartir la alegría de su promesa?
Vivimos un tiempo donde nos preocupamos por una variedad de cosas que creemos son importantes. Estamos
preocupados por la escuela, el trabajo, los deportes, las cosas materiales o cualquier otra cosa. ¿Quién está para
decir que estas cosas nos son importantes? De hecho pueden ser, pero hacemos esta pregunta porque será esto
suficiente al final. ¿Qué hará falta en nuestras vidas cuando el Señor llegue finalmente? Por lo tanto podemos
decir al iniciar el tiempo de Adviento, que se nos presenta la oportunidad para un "rehacer". Se nos da otra
oportunidad para celebrar más fructuosamente y de manera más profunda la vida de Cristo, durante el año
litúrgico, para que podamos ser más eficaces al ser testigos y compartirlo con otros, como nuestra familia y
amigos, la buena nueva de que el Señor llegara.
Que el Espíritu prepare y abra nuestros corazones para celebrar el gozo de la llegada del Señor.
Dios los Bendiga
