NUESTRA MAYORDOMÍA

Hoy recordamos a los tres sabios de Oriente que vinieron a rendir homenaje al niño

Jesús, llevándole ricos dones de oro, incienso y mirra. Los dones que traemos -

nuestro tiempo, talento y tesoro (una parte de lo que ganamos por el trabajo que

hacemos) - son igualmente preciosos a su vista.

OUR STEWARDSHIP

Today we remember the three wise men from the East who came to pay homage to

the infant Jesus, bringing Him rich gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. The gifts we

bring - our time, service, and some share of what we earn for the work we do - are

equally precious in his sight.

pone a todos en el lugar justo antes de la misa para encontrar un

reemplazo. ¡Gracias por servir a nuestra parroquia de esta manera vital!

DONACIONES DE INSTRUMENTOS

¿Tiene algún instrumento musical que le gustaría donar para

estudiantes en El Salvador? Un grupo irá en febrero y podría

llevarlos a ayudarlos con uno de sus proyectos exitosos que

nosotros como parroquia hemos apoyado. La música escrita

también sería aceptada.

DOUBLE SOMEONE’S JOY OR HALVE THEIR SORROW THIS CHRISTMAS Not too long ago I let a friend in on a struggle I was experiencing. I told him that I

didn’t need him to solve it for me; it’s enough if he just listens, and shares it with me. It’s

like someone once said: a joy is doubled and a sorrow halved when we experience them

with another person.

And that’s what Jesus does, shares our experience. Isaiah the prophet said that the

Messiah will be called Emmanuel, which in Hebrew means God is with us. Maybe Jesus

doesn’t solve all of our problems, but it’s enough that he shares the experience, that he

is with us. It’s as if Jesus says to us: there, there; I know; I feel your pain. So, we’ve got that going for us, which is nice. We may wish

that Jesus would also save us from our pain.

And he does save us, at least from the futility of suffering, by not sparing himself, and by showing how our sorrows can even

serve some benefit, for example:

To toughen us up to survive and thrive through the rigors of life

To make us sensitive to the pain of others, and compassionate towards them

To put us into contact with something God wants us to change

To make us comfortable with mystery-there just isn’t always an explanation

Jesus saves us too from the finality of our suffering; we believe that by his suffering Jesus broke the bonds of death, and also

manifested the resurrection.

Those are just some of the reasons why the birth of Jesus is happily celebrated; in him, God is with us and God saves us from the

futility and finality of our sorrows.

One way to make merry at the birth of Jesus is to pay forward the favor, that is to double someone’s joy or to halve their sorrow

by being with them, and to take away the futility and finality of their suffering-that would also make for a blessed new year. May we

all have a merry Christmas and a happy new year!

THE EPIPHANY

Many of us or the people we know within the Hispanic

community have taken long trips to reach this country. The

decision to leave our own country is not easy and it is taken,

ultimately, because of the conviction that what is being sought

after is great and worthwhile. All of us are looking for something:

a better life, a better future for our children. Deep down, we are

all yearning for salvation; that means leaving oppression and

coming into a land of freedom. It is the same thing the Three

Wise men did. The fact that they embarked on the journey

despite all the difficulties it would entail means that they sought

the light and salvation. They followed their star, that is to say

their vocation, the call to seek God with all their strength. The

fact that they found Jesus is a strong sign of hope for us: it is

possible to find God. From any country, any race or social status,

we are all called to find our vocation and to find our God, even if

the journey is not easy and we have to leave much behind.

What do you feel called to do?

What would you have to leave behind to achieve it?

What star or light are you pursuing?

What can help you on your way?

LA EPIFANÍA

Muchos de nosotros o de las personas que conocemos dentro de

la comunidad hispana hemos hecho viajes largos para llegar a este

país. La decisión de dejar nuestra patria no es fácil y se toma, en

último término, porque se piensa que lo que se busca es grande y

merece la pena. Todos buscamos algo: una vida mejor, un futuro

mejor para nuestros hijos. En el fondo, todos anhelamos la

salvación; esto significa salir de la opresión y entrar en una tierra

de libertad. Eso mismo fue lo que hicieron los Tres Reyes Magos. El

que se pusieran en marcha a pesar de todas las dificultades que

podría entrañar significa que buscaban la luz y la salvación.

Siguieron su estrella, es decir su vocación, la llamada a buscar a

Dios con todas sus fuerzas. El que encontraran a Jesús es un signo

de esperanza para nosotros: es posible encontrar a Dios. De

cualquier país, de cualquier raza y condición, todos somos

llamados a buscar nuestra vocación y a encontrar a Dios, aunque el

camino sea difícil y haya que dejar mucho atrás.

¿A qué te sientes llamado?

¿Qué cosas tendrías que dejar atrás para lograrlo?

¿Qué estrella o qué luz persigues?

¿Qué te puede ayudar en el camino?
