THE LOOK OF LOVE

What does love look like? It has feet to go to the poor and needy.

It has eyes to see misery and want. It has ears to hear

the sighs and sorrows of others. --St. Augustine

LA MIRADA DEL AMOR

¿ A qué se parece el amor? Tiene pies para ir a los pobres y necesitados.

Tiene ojos para ver la miseria y la necesidad. Tiene oídos para oír

los suspiros y penas de los demás. -San Agustín

From the loneliness of his prison cell John the Baptist asks of Jesus: “Are you the one who is to come, or should we look for another?” The weeks before Christmas offer much

to be joyous about, celebrating with family and friends, the glitter of seasonal decorations, the excitement of gift giving and receiving. But in our midst there are the lonely and neglected, the poor, the hospitalized, the wayward, the shut-ins. There are those seemingly without hope. To

whom should they look? Discipleship in the Lord includes being good stewards of others. Are there those in our family, our neighborhood, our community to whom we can reach out to show them a sign of Christ’s presence in their

midst? www.catholicstewardship.com

De la soledad de su prisión celular Juan el Bautista pregunta de Jesús: "¿es aquel que está por venir, o debemos esperar a otro?" Las semanas antes de Navidad ofrecen mucho para ser feliz, celebrando con familiares y amigos, el brillo de decoraciones estacionales, la emoción de dar y recibir regalos. Pero en nuestro medio hay solos y abandonados, los pobres, hospitalizados. Hay quienes aparentemente no tienen esperanza. ¿A quién debe bus-car? Discipulado en el Señor incluye ser buenos adminis-tradores de los demás. ¿Son los de nuestra familia, nues-tro vecindario, nuestra comunidad a quienes podemos lle-gar a mostrar un signo de la presencia de Cristo en medio

de ellos?

ADVENT PENANCE SERVICE

It seems that German Lutherans were the first to count down the Advent days to Christmas, taking December 1st

as their starting point, thereby avoiding the fluctuating date of Advent's beginning with the fourth Sunday before Christmas. Chalk marks on the doorpost counted the twenty four days until Christmas. It is not until the

beginning of the twentieth century that printed Advent calendars made their appearance. Today, Advent calendars can range from the purely secular (with a Santa image and a small piece of chocolate behind a door

for each day) to the overtly religious, in which the opening of each day's door reveals a Scripture verse pointing to the Christmas feast. The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has an online Advent calendar

with links to daily Scripture readings and suggested family activities. You can find it at: www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/liturgical-resources/advent/.

Parece que los luteranos alemanes fueron los primeros en contar los días de Adviento a la Navidad, tomando

el 1 de diciembre como su punto de partida, evitando así la fluctuante fecha de inicio del Adviento con el cuarto domingo de antes de Navidad. Marcas de tiza en la jamba contaron los veinte cuatro días hasta

Navidad. No es hasta principios del siglo XX que los calendarios de Adviento hicieron su aparición. Hoy, calendarios de Adviento pueden ir desde los puramente secular (con una imagen de Santa y un pequeño trozo

de chocolate detrás de una puerta para cada día) hasta la abiertamente religioso, en el que la apertura de la puerta de cada día muestra un versículo de las escrituras sobre la fiesta de Navidad. La Conferencia de

obispos católicos de Estados Unidos tiene un calendario de Adviento en línea con enlaces a lecturas bíblicas

diarias y actividades sugeridas. Lo puedes encontrar en: www.usccb.org/prayer-and-worship/liturgical-resources/advent/.
