Don’t you love it when people ask you, “Are you ready for Christmas?” A good answer is, “No, but it’s coming anyway, so let’s all be joyful!” This week we pay for that bridge week between Thanksgiving and Advent by having a truncated fourth week in Advent. It barely begins before we move to Christmas…
Love Christmas. Love this Gospel. For this is John’s Christmas story. Or perhaps it makes more sense to say that this is John’s version of the Incarnation. No shepherds, no star, no kings, no Bethlehem, no manger, no Joseph and no Mary. Had John been Rogers and Hammerstein, he would have started his version of…
Celebramos el tercer domingo de adviento. El domingo pasado Lucas presentaba a Juan como el profeta que marca la transición a un tiempo nuevo para todos, invitando para ello a una conversión radical. Hoy Lucas nos ofrece una imagen más detallada de la actividad profética de Juan, acerca de la conversión y de la necesidad…
[RCL]: Zephaniah 3:14-20; Canticle 9; Philippians 4:4-7; Luke 3:7-18 “I will save the lame and gather the outcast, and I will change their shame into praise and renown in all the earth.” (Zephaniah 3:19) Introduction In Advent, we are asked to wait. Instead of jumping immediately into Christmas, we spend four weeks pacing along its…
[RCL]: Zephaniah 3:14-20; Canticle 9; Philippians 4:4-7; Luke 3:7-18 Technically, Christmas lasts 12 days. It starts at sundown Christmas Eve and continues until January 6, the Epiphany. In the old days, Christians refrained from Christmas celebration until Christmas Eve. Not even the tree would go up before then, as people respected the holy anticipation of…
La devoción a la Virgen de Guadalupe es relativamente nueva en nuestra iglesia episcopal. Poco a poco vamos descubriendo su riqueza y significado en nuestra fe y liturgia. Gustosos hemos venido hoy dentro del contexto del tiempo de Adviento a unirnos como un solo pueblo para celebrar esta gran fiesta a María, la Madre de…
Celebramos el segundo domingo de adviento. Comenzamos un año más un nuevo camino hacia la Navidad. Un camino al encuentro de aquel Jesús que es la clave que da sentido a nuestra existencia. El domingo pasado iniciábamos el camino del adviento. Por esto, es favorable preguntarnos, ¿qué sentido tiene para nosotros como creyentes hoy? Son…
“See, I am sending my messenger to prepare the way before me.” (Malachi 3:1) Introduction In Advent, we are asked to wait. Instead of jumping immediately into Christmas, we spend four weeks pacing along its shore. Longing. Preparing. Waiting. Our tradition says it’s important. Because some truths are so big that we must get ready…
Have you ever thought to yourself, “This isn’t the way it’s supposed to be”? Maybe it was the latest report of rockets falling in Israel. Maybe it was images of the security fence along the West Bank. Maybe it was a report on dead zones in the Chesapeake Bay. Maybe it was the story of…
“What’s in a name?” the Bard asks. At first sight, the title Christ the King seems to us moderns a bit antique. After all, we have just elected a president. We even elect our bishops and rectors. There is something else rather odd about the title given to Jesus in today’s feast. The word “christ”…
