 It is the first day of Advent
God is With Us
Latin American Psalm
The feet of the people of the world today tread the asphalt
of the city's violent streets,
but the hearts of the humble are stronger than cannons and bombs.
Peace for human beings will not come from outside,
neither will it be built by means of nuclear weapons,
nor will it come by agreements between governments.
Peace is present in the heart of the universe
and everything is moving towards peace.
It will come as a new dawn to this abused and weary world.
It will come from the simple, the humble and the poor of the earth.
It will be announced by the voices of children,
and the stirring music of the young.

Que la paz que nace en nosotros sea paz parael mundo también ... May the peace which is born among us be the peace that envelops the world.
