Horario de Oficinas
lunes a viernes de 9 AM- 4 PM *******************************************************
Atención! Por favor de avisar a la oficina parroquial si usted o un
miembro de su familia se encuentra internado en el hospital o en su casa.
************************************************************ Cuatro Domingo de Adviento
1.Prepárate al nacimiento de Cristo. Tu corazón ha de ser la mejor cuna. Tus buenas obras el mejor calor.
2. Prepara tu hogar a la llegada del Salvador. ¿Eres cristiano? No permitas que otras elementos extraños,
folclóricos y sin sentido cristiano, distorsionen lo que vamos a celebrar.
3. Enciende, cada semana de adviento, una vela de distinto color en tu hogar. Te recordará que, Jesús, está llegando y
que, tu casa, está velando.
4. La llegada de un niño supone siempre un cambio de hábitos. El adviento es un tiempo oportuno para arrojar de las casa de nuestro corazón aquello que puede estorbar a
ese niño.
5. Aprovecha estas semanas par rezar un poco más, para comprometerte en alguna causa noble o caritativa de tu
parroquia. Si Dios se hace hombre ¿no sería bueno que tú descubrieras tu buen corazón en alguien?
6. Indica a tu familia lo qué significa la Navidad. No permitas, o purifica, aquellos elementos que nos roban al
“Nino” de esos días santos y familiares.
7. Allana aquellos caminos que, la convivencia, los malos modales, las palabras fueras de tono te han podido dificultar
el encuentro con los demás. Dios, al nacer, nos pide soló eso: amor
8. Ablanda el corazón con la oración. Frecuenta un poco mas la eucaristía. Asiste con los tuyos. Si el Señor vino y se
encontró con una familia...qué menos que lo esperemos también así: en familia.
9.No pierdas la esperanza. Las dificultades ni los problemas se desvanecen de la noche a la mañana. Pero, un cristiano
sin esperanza, resulta ser como un arpa sin cuerdas: no anima cuando es requerida su música.
10. No dejes de soñar. Si el Señor se hace hombre como nosotros es porque tiene un sueño: que seamos hermanos,
que salgamos a su encuentro con el deseo de amarle.
Adviento 2013
Dios sale de paseo El Dios que anida en las entrañas de María es un Dios de los caminos.

Nino Pequeño,¡ Dios eterno! Sólo hoy será Navidad si en ti y en tu familia nace
de maría el Señor Jesús.
