The Liturgy of the Day
Saint Paul today gives us the
focus for our prayer when he says
that the God who began a good
work in us will continue to
complete it until the day of Christ
Jesus. As we hear in the other
readings today of the coming of
the Lord into the deserts of our
lives, let us bear in mind that we
too can bear the presence of the
Lord into the lives of those around
us, carrying on the good work that
God has begun in us.
a la Liturgia del Día
Esta semana el Adviento y el Año
Jubilar de la Misericordia se cruzan.
El martes nosotros, que aguardamos
la venida del Señor al final de los
tiempos y ahora en nuestro corazón,
daremos comienzo a un tiempo
sagrado para considerar la
misericordia de Dios y reflexionar
acerca de cómo podemos reflejar a
nuestro derredor esa misericordia. El
resto del mundo espera la venida del
Señor, aunque no lo sepan. ¿Qué
estamos haciendo para mostrarles la
presencia del Señor?

Question of the Week?
As the Jubilee Year of Mercy begins,
what twists and turns do I need to let
God untangle in my life? What rough
edges smooth out? What mountainous of
pride bring low? What valleys of
indifference and neglect fill with mercy
for others?

and official prayer for the Year of Mercy.

Door. The resource also provides sample rituals for
