<p>El día de hoy empezamos la Estación de Adviento y el Nuevo Año Litúrgico. La Iglesia nos ayuda a que constantemente re-enfoquemos nuestra atención hacia el muy importante evento de la venida de Cristo al mundo.</p>
<p>Nosotros no somos diferentes a aquellas personas que vivieron en el tiempo del Antiguo Testamento.  La gente esperaba la venida de Cristo, el Mesías y ansiaban Su liberación. Nosotros también debemos re-descubrir al Mesías en nuestras vidas. Cada uno de nosotros probablemente hayamos experimentado un periodo de Conversión en nuestras vidas.  Ese tipo de experiencia religiosa es el punto de retorno en nuestra vida espiritual. Sin embargo, año tras año se nos tiene que recordar que regresemos hacia Cristo.</p>
<p>Como gente de Dios que somos, cada uno de nosotros se compromete a sí mismo a regresar hacia nuestro Dios. Así como Israel buscó y anticipó la venida de Jesucristo, así también nosotros entramos más profundamente en una preparación para la venida de Jesús. Él está aquí entre nosotros, esperando que cada uno de nosotros volteé más intensamente hacia Él.</p>
<p>Preparemos el camino del Señor. Que Dios los bendiga.     </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>My dear people of God.</p>
<p>Today we begin the Advent Season and the New Liturgical Year.  The Church assists us to constantly refocus our attention to the very important event of Christ’s coming into the world.</p>
<p>We are no different than those who lived in the Old Testament time.  People were waiting for the coming of Christ, the Messiah and longed for His deliverance.  We also must rediscover this Messiah in our lives.  Each of us has probably experienced a Conversion period in our lives.  That type of religious experience is a turning point in our spiritual life.  However year after year we are reminded to turn back to Christ.</p>
<p>As a people of God each of us commits ourselves back to our God.  Just as Israel looked for and anticipated the coming of Jesus Christ, so also do we enter more deeply into preparation for Jesus ‘coming.  He is here among us waiting for each of us to turn more intently to Him.</p>
<p>Let us prepare a way for the Lord. May God bless you.</p>
