Naquele tempo, 67Zacarias, o pai de João, repleto do Espírito Santo, profetizou, dizendo: 68“Bendito seja o Senhor, Deus de Israel, porque visitou e redimiu o seu povo. 69Fez aparecer para nós uma força de salvação na casa de seu servo Davi, 70como tinha prometido desde outrora, pela boca de seus santos profetas, 71para nos salvar dos nossos inimigos e da mão de todos os que nos odeiam.
72Ele usou de misericórdia para com nossos pais, recordando-se de sua santa aliança 73e do juramento que fez a nosso pai Abraão, para conceder-nos, 74que, sem temor e libertos das mãos dos nossos inimigos, nós o sirvamos, 75com santidade e justiça, em sua presença, todos os nossos dias.
76E tu, Menino, serás chamado profeta do Altíssimo, pois irás adiante do Senhor para preparar-lhe os caminhos, 77anunciando ao seu povo a salvação, pelo perdão dos seus pecados. 78Graças à misericordiosa compaixão do nosso Deus, o sol que nasce do alto nos visitará, 79para iluminar os que jazem nas trevas e nas sombras da morte, e dirigir nossos passos no caminho da paz”.

Refletindo
Hoje não deve ser uma noite de tristezas, nem uma noite
simplesmente de comes e bebes. É uma noite de louvor, de ação de graças e
reconhecimento da ação divina em nosso meio. Não façamos do nosso Natal um acontecimento pagão, porque, na
verdade, o Natal veio para nos libertar do paganismo, para nos
introduzir na fé, na salvação e libertação que Deus trouxe para nós. Façamos da celebração do Natal, da nossa casa e família um
acontecimento cristão, com oração, união e a presença amorosa de Deus
entre nós. O que menos importa é o que vamos comer, os presentes que
vamos dar ou ganhar, porque o que mais importa é o presente que nos foi
dado por Deus! Muitas vezes, os nossos Natais estão cheios de elementos estranhos,
alheios ou menos importantes do que de fato ele significa. Às vezes, os
nossos Natais têm tudo, tem champagne, comidas, etc, mas não tem a presença
amorosa de Jesus. Não consigo conceber alguém que vai se reunir, a família que vai
estar junto nessa noite, mas não vão orar, não vão levantar os braços
para o céu, não vão agradecer a Deus. É essencial e fundamental
que festejamos com o Senhor. A sua prioridade nessa noite é celebrar o Natal do Senhor, é estar
com as pessoas queridas e todos aqueles que creem que Jesus é o Salvador, o
libertador e a bênção que Deus trouxe a cada um de nós! Bendito seja Deus, que nos visita nesta noite! Eu tenho certeza que
Deus tem uma visita muito especial para fazer a você, sua casa e sua
família. Assim como Maria e José tentaram
encontrar um lugar para Jesus nascer, mas as pessoas estavam muito
ocupadas e não tinha espaço para eles, Deus continua procurando espaço,
lugar para se fazer presente, para celebrar a libertação e a salvação. A minha casa, a sua casa, o nosso coração precisam ser o lugar da acolhida do Deus que nos visita.
Que Ele nos conceda uma noite feliz e muito abençoada!

Reflecting
Today should not be a night of Sorrows, or simply a night of food and drink. It's a night of praise, Thanksgiving and recognition of divine action in our midst. Let's not make our Christmas a pagan event, because, in fact, Christmas came to free us of paganism, to introduce us in the faith in salvation and deliverance which God has brought to us. Do the celebration of Christmas, our House and family a Christian event, with prayer, and the loving presence of God among us. What matters least is what we eat, let's give gifts or win, because what matters most is the gift that was given to us by God. Many times, our Christmases are full of foreign elements, unrelated or less important than the fact he means. Sometimes, our Christmases have everything, champagne, food, etc, but doesn't have the loving presence of Jesus. I can't conceive of someone who will meet, the family will be together that night, but they won't pray, won't raise your arms to the sky, will not thank God. Is essential and fundamental that we celebrate with you. Your priority that night's celebrate Christmas of the Lord, be with your loved ones and all those who believe that Jesus is the Savior, liberator and the blessing that God brought every one of us! Blessed be God, who visits us tonight! I'm sure God has a very special visit to make you, your home and your family. Just as Mary and Joseph tried to find a place for Jesus to be born, but people were very busy and had no space for them, God still looking for space, place to do this, to celebrate the liberation and salvation. My House, your House, your heart must be the place of reception of the God who visits us. That He grant us a night happy and very blessed!
