HOPEFUL EXPECTATION
Our liturgical year begins with the season of Advent—a time of hopeful
expectation of the coming of the Lord. On the First Sunday of Advent we look
forward to the end of time when we will awaken to the dawn of Christ’s new day.
Today we hear Isaiah speak of a day when God’s power will have brought
universal peace and God’s Word will have instructed all people, radiating God’s
“light” (teachings) into all of human society. Only when humanity walks “in the
light of the LORD” (Isaiah 2:5), when all people desire to be instructed “in [God’s]
ways” (Isaiah 2:3), will the world be set aright and our deepest longings fulfilled.
The reading from Romans calls us to “awake from sleep” for this final “day is at
hand” (Romans 13:11, 12). Together this Sunday’s scriptures proclaim our
Christian faith that Jesus is the One who will finally come to fulfill God’s plan of
salvation.
ESPERAR CON GOZO
Nuestro año litúrgico comienza con el tiempo de Adviento, una temporada de
expectativa por la venida del Señor. En el Primer Domingo de Adviento
anticipamos el fin de los tiempos cuando despertaremos al amanecer del nuevo
día de Cristo.
Hoy escuchamos a Isaías hablar del día en que el poder de Dios habrá traído
paz universal y la Palabra de Dios habrá instruido a todos los pueblos, irradiando
la “luz” (enseñanzas) de Dios a toda la raza humana. Sólo cuando la humanidad
camina “a la luz del Señor” (Isaías 2:5), cuando todos los pueblos deseen marchar
“por sus sendas” (Isaías 2:3), el mundo se enderezará y nuestros más profundos
anhelos serán cumplidos. La lectura de Romanos nos llama a despertar “del
sueño” porque la salvación “está más cerca” (Romanos 13:11, 12). Las lecturas de
este domingo proclaman nuestra fe cristiana en que Jesús es Aquél que al final
vendrá a dar cumplimiento al plan de salvación de Dios.
