Offering to the baby Jesus



Today, we want to offer the baby Jesus an Advent calendar. One of those calendars with little windows which children open so eagerly as behind each window there is a little piece of chocolate with form of star or shepherd. Windows are open day by day but one has to look for them because they are not in order.

Today, we offer you this Advent calendar. Not every window is open. Perhaps with all our hurries and distractions these days, we didn't have time to look for them. Surely your grandchildren or nephews and nieces or your ittle children would have found them all. However, we offer you those which we did open. For today a new era starts. Spears become pruneyards and swords plows, people will not fight against each other, they will not get ready for war. Wolf and calf will live together and there will be no harm in all my holy mountain. For unto us a child is born, unto us a child is given and his name shall be called Wonderful Councellor, Almighty God, the Everlasting Father, the Prince of Peace.

Ofrenda al niño Jesús

Hoy queremos ofrecer al niño Jesús un calendario de adviento. Un calendario de esos que tienen ventanitas que a los niños les encanta abrir porque hay una chocolatina debajo con forma de estrella o pastor. Las ventanitas se van abriendo cada día pero hay que buscarlas porque no están en orden.

Hoy te ofrecemos este calendario de adviento. No tiene todas las ventanitas abiertas. Quizá porque con tantas prisas y distracciones de este tiempo no nos dio tiempo a buscarlas. Seguro que vuestros nietos o sobrinos o niños pequeños las encontraron todas. Sin embargo te ofrecemos las que sí abrimos, porque hoy comienza una nueva era, las lanzas se convierten en podaderas, de las espadas se hacen arados, no se alzará pueblo contra pueblo, no se preparán para la guerra, habitará el lobo con el cordero y no causarán daño ni estrago por todo mi monte santo. Porque un niño nos ha nacido, un niño se nos ha dado, al que llamarán Maravilloso Consejero, Dios Todopoderoso, Padre Perpetuo, Príncipe de la Paz.
