Second Sunday of Advent
(Readings: Isaiah 40:1-5, 9-11 — 2 Peter 3:8-14 — Mark 1:1-8) Preparing the Way — In 1972, when I was a seminarian studying in Rome, my parents came to Europe and we traveled to the Holy Mountain of La Salette, which is about a mile above sea level. We took the
bus from Grenoble (about 700 feet above sea level) along a narrow, winding and increasingly steep road. My poor mother was terrified, and stared at the floor of the bus for much of the trip! She would surely have preferred that the valleys were filled in and the mountains made low! In the ancient East, new roads might be built in anticipation of a monarch’s visit, or at least the old roads repaired. It’s not unlike the modern
custom of a red carpet. Isaiah’s call to prepare the way of the Lord had nothing to do with physical mountains and valleys. His concern, like that of John the Baptist, was the fact that the ups and downs and rough places of our lives can at times become an obstacle to God’s plan for us. Those who go up to the Mountain where the Virgin Mary appeared, encounter the same message: a call to repentance and the
forgiveness of sins. In her message she reminds us, in simple language, of the ordinary means to achieve that aim. John the Baptist was sent to prepare the way of the Lord Jesus. His goal was that his own disciples be ready to abandon him and follow the One who was to come after him. He took that role seriously, in all humility. In John’s Gospel, he says of Jesus and himself, “He must increase, I must
decrease.” Similarly, at La Salette, Mary asked nothing for herself. All she wanted was to persuade her people to follow her Son again, returning to the practice of their faith. “Come, Lord Jesus!” is a recurring theme in Advent. It refers not only to the coming Feast of Christmas, but to the final return of Jesus in the
end-time. St. Peter writes that we should not only wait for that coming, but so live as to hasten it. As challenging as the call to conversion is, it really should be appealing to us. After all, why wouldn’t we
want to be in a right relationship with God? Mary prepares the Lord’s way to us, and ours to him.

Tampa Avenue, Orlando *Planned Parenthood 610 Oak Commons Way, Kissimmee
Preparando el camino Segundo Domingo de Adviento: Isaías 40:1-11; 2 Pedro 3:8-14; Marcos 1:1-8 En 1972, cuando era un seminarista estudiando en Roma, mis papás vinieron a Europa y viajamos a la Santa Montaña de La Sale e, que está a 1800 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Tomamos el bus desde Grenoble (a unos 215 metro sobre el nivel del mar) viajando a los largo de una carretera estrecha, sinuosa y cada vez mas empinada. ¡Mi pobre madre estaba aterrorizada, y miraba el piso del bus durante la mayor parte del viaje! Seguramente ella hubiera preferido que los valles fueran rellenados y las montañas aplanadas. En el an guo este, muchas carreteras debieron ser construidas con an cipación a la visita de un monarca, o al menos las viejas carreteras reparadas. No es dis nto a la moderna costumbre de colocar la alfombre roja. La llamada de Isaías para preparar en camino del Señor no ene nada que ver con las montañas y los valles sicos. Su preocupación, como la de Juan Bau sta, era el hecho de que los al bajos y las cosas di ciles de nuestras vidas pueden algunas veces conver rse en obstáculos ante plan que Dios
ene para nosotros. Aquellos que suben a la Montaña donde la Virgen María se apareció. Encuentran el mismo mensaje: un llamado al arrepen miento y el perdón de los pecados. En su mensaje ella nos recuerda, en un lenguaje sencillo, de los medios ordinarios para alcanzar esa meta. Juan el Bau sta fue enviado a preparar el camino del Señor Jesús. Su obje vo era que sus propios discípulos estuvieran listos para abandonarlo y seguir a Aquel que viniera detrás de él. El cumplió ese papel seriamente, con toda humildad. En el Evangelio de Juan, el se refiere a Jesús y a sí mismo: “El debe crecer, yo disminuir” De manera similar en la Sale e, María no pidió nada para sí misma. Todo lo que ella quería era per-suadir a su pueblo para que siguiera de nuevo a su Hijo, volviendo a la prác ca de su fe. “¡Ven Señor Jesús!” es un tema recurrente en Adviento. Se refiere no solamente a la próxima Fiesta de la Navidad, sino al regreso defini vo de Jesús al final de los empos. San Pedro escribe que no-sotros no deberíamos solamente esperar por esa venida, sino que debemos vivir para apresurarla. Tan desafiante como es el llamado a la conversión, así debería ser realmente muy atrac vo para no-sotros. Después de todo, ¿Por qué no quisiéramos estar en una relación correcta y cercana con Di-os? María nos prepara el camino del Señor, y nosotros para él.
