STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION
Fourth Sunday of Advent — In the first reading, God promises
King David that his house and his kingdom will endure forever. It is
through Mary’s “Yes” — “I am the handmaid of the Lord. Let it be
done to me as you say.” that the promise finds fulfillment.
Reflexiones de Dedicación
Cuarto Domingo de Adviento — En la primera lectura, Dios
promete al Rey David, que su hogar y su reino durarán para siempre.
Es a través del Si de María — “Yo soy la servidora del Señor, hágase
en mi tal como has dicho” — que la promesa se cumple.
PRAYER OF THE WEEK
December 18, 2011, Fourth Sunday of Advent
Pour forth, we beseech you, O Lord, your grace into our hearts, that
we, to whom the Incarnation of Christ your Son was made known by
the message of an Angel, may by his Passion and Cross be brought to
the glory of his Resurrection. Who lives and reigns with you in the
unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Reflection question:
How can I make known to others the Incarnation of Christ?

ORACIÓN DE LA SEMANA
18 de diciembre de 2011, Cuarto Domingo de Adviento
Derrama, Señor, tu gracia sobre nosotros, que hemos conocido por el
anuncio del ángel la encarnación de tu Hijo, para que lleguemos, por
su pasión y su cruz, a la gloria de la resurrección. Por nuestro Señor
Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu
Santo y es Dios por los siglos de los siglos.
Pregunta de reflexión:
¿Qué puedo hacer para que otras personas conozcan la Encarnación
de Cristo?
