Forgiveness means letting go of my demand for revenge, my resentment and hate, my desire to see them suffer. I take back my heart and my power, freeing myself from their control.

Perdonar significa soltar mi exigencia de venganza, mi resentimiento y mi odio, mi deseo de verlo sufrir. Recupero mi corazón y mi poder, liberándome de su control.

In this video reflection, Amy Florian shares a deeply personal story that reshapes how we understand prayer — not as a way of getting what we want, but as a relationship that changes us.

En esta reflexión en video, Amy Florian comparte una historia profundamente personal que transforma nuestra comprensión de la oración: no como una manera de obtener lo que queremos, sino como una relación que nos cambia.

Instead, Jesus promises that if we ask for anything, we will receive “good things”. In other words, we will receive what we need, not necessarily what we want.

Más bien, Jesús promete que, si pedimos, recibiremos “cosas buenas”. En otras palabras, recibiremos lo que necesitamos, no necesariamente lo que queremos.

Son los medios por los cuales somos alimentados para poder entrar en algo más profundo, que nos capacita para acoger al excluido, alimentar al hambriento, defender al indefenso, enfrentar la injusticia y vivir como vivió Jesús.

Liturgy, our prayers, and our obedience are important, absolutely, but they are not the ultimate point. They are the means by which we are fed so we can enter into something deeper, enabling us to bring in the outcast, feed the hungry, defend the powerless, stand against injustice, and live as Jesus did.

Perhaps hope, instead of being based on circumstances or on human motivations, is based on the “one who is true.”

And because time is short, Advent and Christmas remind me that just as Mary carried and bore Godself, I am to work tirelessly, using my gifts and talents to the full, to continue the work of birthing God into the world.
