La Iglesia nos concede esta temporada Santa como tiempo para reordenar nuestras vidas y nuestras prioridades. Mientras que nuestra cultura trata de distraernos de la importancia del nacimiento de Cristo, dediquemos algunos minutos cada dia a la oracion para hacer una invitacion personal a Cristo para que venga a nuestras vidas. Nuestra oracion producira gratitud y la gratitud alimentara nuestra esperanza en el Señor. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
