Durante el Adviento, Dios nos brinda la oportunidad de trabajar y movernos, de no quedarnos en un solo sitio. Como ejemplo, tenemos a Juan Bautista, personaje importante de este tiempo.

Él trabajó incansablemente anunciando cómo preparar el camino del Señor, cómo sería su venida. El profeta Isaías se refería a Juan de esta forma: "Una voz grita en el desierto: preparen un camino al Señor, hagan sus senderos rectos" (Juan 3:3).

Hacer los senderos rectos, es decir, implica una conversión desde el fondo del corazón; un cambio radical a través de un proceso suave pero firme para llegar a Dios.

“ La Iglesia de este tiempo es igual a un campo sembrado que tiene grano y paja mezclados, es decir, juntos buenos y malos. Después del juicio, en cambio, tendrá solamente buenos, sin malo alguno … De ahí vendrá el juzgar a vivos y muertos, y como dice el Evangelio: Él tiene el bieldo en su mano para separar el trigo de la paja.

Guardará el trigo en su granero y quemará la paja en un fuego que no se extingue ” (San Agustín, 354354–430. Sermón 223).

Preparados o no, este Adviento es el tiempo de aprender que los tiempos de Dios son momentos de gracia. Paja y trigo crecen en nosotros, y es tiempo de ponerse a trabajar en la conversión para ir al encuentro del Señor. No olvidemos que Dios espera de nosotros lo mejor y nos da la libertad de seguirlo o dejarlo.

¿Qué escoges?
El tiempo de Adviento es para revisar nuestra conciencia: cómo pensamos, creemos y actuamos.

Gospel Reflection

This week we hear that John the Baptist is out in the wilderness eating “locusts and wild honey” (Mark 1:6).

It’s not just a strange historical detail. It’s a symbolic expression of a healthy spiritual diet. The path to Christ includes both the hard and the beautiful, the gritty and the sweet. We have to learn to gulp the locusts and savor the honey.

I remember working with a young couple preparing for marriage. They were sincere, but raw barely beginning to discover faith. Part of me wanted to rush them ahead, to fill in all the gaps, to bombard them with scripture and church documents. I swallowed that instinct. It was like eating locusts.

But I also recall them light up as they spoke about each other, about their first child, then their second. And they wanted to be close to God. Something innocent and beautiful was unfolding. That was the honey. I knew God was asking me to savor it.

This Advent, maybe we’re each being invited to accept both locusts and honey. Maybe it’s time to stop avoiding the difficult parts of faith prayer that feels dry, the call to repentance, the patience with the troublesome. It’s time to eat some locusts.

But we also need to notice the small gifts God gives us: a peaceful moment, a good conversation, the joy of serving someone else, new life, good intentions of our friends. That’s the honey. Savor it!

John didn’t avoid either. He took it all in. And so can we.

• What are your locusts?
• Your honey?

If we let God feed us with both, we’ll be ready really ready for the coming of Christ.
