Eagerness. Today's readings combine to tell a story of eagerness--enthusiasm, zeal, wholehearted dedication. Eager anticipation is not a surprising topic for the Advent season, but very surprising, perhaps, is what our readings urge us to be eager about: the cleansing of sins. Isaiah tells God's people to cry out loudly, proclaiming that the Lord will come with power to comfort them and forgive all their sins. Saint Peter inspires us to "be eager to be found without spot or blemish." In Mark's Gospel, people from all over stream to the Jordan, acknowledging their sins and repenting. John the Baptist preaches the mighty power of the Lamb of God, who takes away our sin. To-day's readings wake us up, reminding us how great God is. May we eagerly seek the powerful peace that God's forgiveness brings.

Afán. Las lecturas de hoy se combinan para contar una historia de entusiasmo: entusiasmo, celo, dedicación incondicional. La anticipación ansiosa no es un tema sorprendente para la temporada de Adviento,

pero muy sorprendente, tal vez, es lo que nuestras lecturas nos instan a estar ansiosos: la purificación de los pecados. Isaías le dice al pueblo de Dios que luche en voz alta, proclamando que el Señor vendrá con poder para consolarlos y per-donar todos sus pecados. San Pedro nos inspira a "estar ansiosos por ser encon-trados sin mancha ni imperfección". En el Evangelio de Marcos, personas de todas partes corren al Jordán, reconociendo sus pecados y arrepintiéndose. Juan el Bautista predica el gran poder del Cordero de Dios, quien quita nuestro pecado. Las lecturas de hoy nos despiertan y nos recuerdan cuán grande es Dios. Que ansiosamente busquemos la poderosa paz que trae el perdón de Dios.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El día 9 de diciembre conmemoramos a san Juan Diego de México. Hace un par de años este indígena mesoamericano fue canonizado por su misión en las apari-ciones Guadalupanas. Hubo controversia alrededor de su canonización porque había quienes insistían que Juan Diego nunca existió. Después de investigar, el Vaticano decidió que no sólo existió, sino que fue y es santo, digno de ser modelo e intercesor. Las investigaciones encontraron que el nombre indígena de Juan Diego era Cuauhtlatoatzin, es decir "Águila que habla". Tal vez por este nombre tan significa-tivo fue que los franciscanos lo bautizaron Juan Diego. El nombre Juan recuerda al apóstol, quien escribió el evangelio más místico y cuyo símbolo es el águila. Diego viene del apóstol Santiago o san Diego quien evangelizó a los españoles durante el siglo I. De cualquier manera, Juan Diego Cuauhtlatoatzin se convirtió en el "Águila que habla" y anuncia el evangelio místico según Guadalupe, es "Águila que habla" de amor, paz, consuelo y desafío en una tierra conquistada, oprimida y llena de promesa.
