THE GIFT OF GOD’S WORD
On this day of gifts and gift-giving, it seems
appropriate that we take a moment to reflect on the great
gift of God’s Word. Because it is creative, God’s Word
always points to its author, always calls us to respond.
Because it is powerful, God’s Word can link the sublime
with the ridiculous, the transcendent with the imminent,
the divine with the human. Because it is graceful, God’s
Word establishes a relationship of deep intimacy between
us and God.
At the heart of God’s Word lies a tantalizing tension
between the mysterious and the mundane. In our liturgical
celebration, this unresolved tension both reveals the
meaning of life for us and calls us to respond, to act upon
that meaning.
Once accepted and opened, the gift of God’s Word is a
gift that keeps on giving and keeps on calling us to give in
return. It dares us to be like the gift!giver and to become
gifts for others, not only at Christmas, but at every
moment of life.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITIO
An old joke asks, “What time is Midnight Mass?” The
answer is not really obvious, since Christmas is unique in
having several distinct celebrations. The readings and
prayers vary greatly from hour to hour. The Vigil Mass
hinges on the family heritage of Jesus and his origins. The
concept of “midnight” predates clock time, and really has
to do with a celebration in the hours of darkness. Years
ago, it was not possible to receive Communion without
fasting for a full day, so the late hour of this Mass made it
possible for the people to receive. The first Mass after
sunrise, the Mass at Dawn, was once known as “The
Shepherds’ Mass,” and later Masses set aside stories of
Jesus’ birth to focus on the key to the day’s celebration:
John the Evangelist’s majestic theology of Christ’s
identity as the Word made flesh, dwelling among us. One
feast, four separate Masses. Only monasteries manage the
whole round. Parishioners typically take just one entry
point into the mystery. Yet there is much to savor and
celebrate in the coming of Christ into the world.
Christmas is not a day, but a season. You still have two
weeks to send those Christmas cards before you’re
officially late!

ATRADICIOES DE UESTRA FE
Además de conmemorar la llegada del Niño Dios, la
Navidad en Latinoamérica es un acontecimiento hecho en
familia; una celebración de reconciliación. Todos anhelamos la
armonía en nuestras relaciones humanas, especialmente en los
días festivos y nada arruina una buena fiesta como los pleitos y
los rencores. Por eso durante la época navideña hagamos todo
lo posible por corregir errores cometidos durante el año con
amigos y parientes. Muchas veces estas faltas son imposibles de
arreglar, por lo cual Dios nos aconseja el perdón y la
reconciliación.
Una parábola latinoamericana narra que la “poinsettia,” o
flor de pascua, con sus bellas hojas verdes y rojas nace del
regalo que un pobre chiquillo le hizo al niño Dios. Mientras
otros le daban oro y joyas el muchachito no tenía más que una
hierbita. Este don agradó al Niño Dios quien lo transformó en la
flor de Navidad. El perdonar puede ser amargo como una
hierba, pero es el don que agrada más al Niñito Jesús quien lo
transforma en reconciliación. Al buscar la reconciliación
imitemos al Dios recién nacido, quien busca la armonía con la
humanidad.
- Fray Gilberto Cavazos!Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
DDE LA FE
EL DO DE LA PALABRA DE DIOS
En este día de recibir y dar regalos, parece apropiado que
tomemos un momento para reflexionar sobre el gran don de la
Palabra de Dios. La Palabra de Dios es creativa y por eso
siempre apunta a su autor, siempre nos llama a responder. La
Palabra de Dios es poderosa y puede enlazar lo sublime con lo
ridículo, lo trascendente con lo inmanente, lo divino con lo
humano. La Palabra de Dios es llena de gracia, establece una
relación de intimidad profunda entre nosotros y Dios.
En el corazón de la Palabra de Dios yace una tensión
seductora entre lo misterioso y lo mundano. En nuestra
celebración litúrgica, esta tensión sin resolución revela el
significado de la vida para nosotros y también nos llama a
responder para actuar según ese significado.
Una vez que la aceptamos y la abrimos, el don de la Palabra
de Dios es un regalo que sigue dando y sigue llamándonos a dar a
cambio. Nos reta a ser como el dador de regalos y a convertirse
en regalos para los demás, no solo en Navidad, sino en cada
momento de la vida.
