Father's Weekly Reflection

Father’s reflection

First Sunday of Advent

 The start of the Liturgical Year (B) begins with an invitation for us to watch and to be prepared. Liturgical Year (A) ends with the Solemn Feast of Christ the King and the Season of Advent begins. With the beginning of the new year, the Liturgy contemplates the mystery of Christ, from his humble and poor birth to the Passion, Death, and Resurrection of the Son of God.

The Gospel of St. Mark is the of the Gospels composed of long periods of oral preaching of the Apostles during the 60s or 70s. In the same Gospel, we will meditate, throughout the year, the historical itinerary of Christ, as well as his apostolic mission. The Evangelist, St. Mark, will take us into the light of the prophet of Nazareth, Jesus, the Son of God.

In the history of ancient Byzantine art, Christ appears surrounded by four “beings” characterized as a lion, a bull, a man, and an eagle. In the Year 180 D.C., St. Irenaeus interpreted these four symbols as the four gospels. St. Jerome, at the end of the fourth century, assigned a representation of each of the Gospels. St. Mark, the evangelist, appears with the symbol of the lion, who has the Gospel in his claws and shows it open to the whole Church.

Therefore, it will be with the mentality and strength of a lion that St. Mark will motivate us and encourage us to never lose confidence and peace in the Savior of the world; who came to save us.
