Reseña del libro "Reflections for Advent and Christmas 2014 (en Inglés)"
Advent and Christmas are seasons of promise, light, truth, and hope. In our world we are aware of so much darkness all around us-violence, injustice, discrimination, and suffering. Our hearts yearn for freedom, for consolation, and for peace. In the midst of all of it, we hold on to the promise that God, Emmanuel, is with us. The scripture readings of the Advent and Christmas seasons are rich with God's promises. They touch our longings and lead us to encounter God's coming, again and again, into our lives. We invite you to pray with us throughout these sacred days. Each of our six writers has contributed reflections for this book. Their reflections are the fruit of their prayer and contemplation. Their suggestions for action can provide us with ways to reach out to others while deepening our own prayer for our families, communities, church, and world. During this holy season, may we who are rooted in God and in the Gospel, work to bring about God's dream for our beautiful, yet wounded world.
