St. Edward Catholic Church Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph December 28, 2014 In the fullness of time there came also the fullness of God A sermon of St Bernard of Clairvaux The kindness and love of God our savior for mankind were revealed. Thanks be to God, through whom we receive such abundant consolation in this pilgrimage, this exile, this distress. Before his humanity appeared, his kindness lay concealed. Of course it was already in existence, because the mercy of the Lord is from eternity, but how could men know it was so great? It was promised but not yet experienced: hence many did not believe in it. At various times and in various different ways, God spoke through the prophets, saying I know the plans I have in mind for you: plans for peace, not disaster. What reply did man make, man who felt the affliction, and knew nothing of peace? ‘How long will you keep saying “Peace, peace” when there is no peace?’ And so the angels of peace weep bitterly saying Lord, who has believed our report? But now at last let men believe their own eyes, because all God’s promises are to be trusted. So that it cannot escape the notice of even troubled eyes, He has set up his tabernacle in the sun. Behold, peace is no longer promised, but conferred; no longer delayed, but given; no longer predicted, but bestowed. Behold, God has sent down to earth a bag bulging with his mercy, a bag that, at the passion, is torn open so that our ransom pours out of it onto us. A small bag, perhaps, but a full one: for it was a small child that was given to us, but in him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead. After the fullness of time had come, there came too the fullness of the Godhead. He came in the flesh, so that at least he might make himself manifest to our earthly minds, so that when this humanity of his appeared, his kindness might also be acknowledged.

In what way, indeed, could he have better commended his kindness than by assuming my flesh? My flesh, that is, not Adam’s, as it was before the fall. What greater proof could he have given of his mercy than by taking upon himself that very thing which needed mercy? Where is there such perfect loving-kindness as in the fact that for our sake the Word of God became perishable like the grass? Lord, what is man, that you make much of him or pay him any heed? Let man infer from this how much God cares for him. Let him know from this what God thinks of him, what he feels about him. Man, do not ask about your own sufferings; but about what God suffered. Learn from what he was made for you, how much he makes of you, so that his kindness may show itself to you from his humanity. The lesser he has made himself in his humanity, the greater has he shown himself in kindness. The more he humbles himself on my account, the more powerfully he engages my love. The kindness and humanity of God our Savior appeared says St Paul. The humanity of God shows the greatness of his kindness, and he who added humanity to the name of God gave great proof of this kindness. $17,167 $13,692 $ 5,087 $Not Available $ Not Available Second Collections Dec. 28 Jan. 4 Jan. 11 Deficit Reduction Capital Improvements Seminary Collection Thank you for your support!

No texto em questão, Lucas mistura as duas leis sem diferenciálas. Pois a purificação da mãe era prevista em Levítico 12,2-8 e se cumpria quarenta dias após o parto. Até aquele momento, a mulher não poderia aproximar-se de nenhum lugar sagrado, já que era considerada impura por causa do sangue derramado durante o parto; a cerimônia consistia na oferta de um cordeiro ou dois pássaros (um par de rolas ou dois pombinhos). E aqui continua evidente a condição de pobreza e simplicidade da família de Nazaré, dado que só se fala dos pássaros (era a oferta dos pobres). Já a consagração dos primogênitos está prescrita em Êxodo 13,11-16 e era considerada com uma espécie de “resgate” – lembrando a ação salvífica quando Deus libertou os israelitas da escravidão do Egito. Resgatando o próprio filho, o pai dizia: “Te resgato porque eu também fui resgatado quando o Senhor nos tirou com mão forte da casa da escravidão” (Ex 13,2.1116). O texto quer mostrar que Jesus não foi dispensado de nenhuma prática da lei, seus pais foram obedientes a fim de que o destino do menino se desenvolvesse desde o início conforme as Escrituras. Entretanto, o texto só acena que se completaram os dias, mas não narra a cerimônia em si talvez para fazer entender que Jesus não tem necessidade de ser resgatado. Jesus, não é resgatado, mas aquele que resgata, aquele que salva o seu povo. Em todo o relato, os pais de Jesus aparecem para apresentar, oferecer o filho como se deveria fazer, já as figuras de Simeão e Ana aparecem, mais exatamente, para dizer que Deus é quem oferece o Filho para a salvação do povo. Ana apresentará o menino àqueles que esperavam o resgate, a libertação de Jerusalém (Lc 2,38). Pois bem, Simeão e Ana são duas figuras carregadas de valor simbólico. Eles têm o papel do reconhecimento, que provêm da iluminação do Espírito Santo, mas também de uma vida movida por uma espera intensa e confiante. Particularmente, Simeão é definido como prosdekómenos, isto é, aquele que está todo concentrado na espera e que corre ao encontro para acolher. Também ele aparece, por isso, obediente à lei, aquela do Espírito, que o conduz a encontrar o menino dentro do templo. Simeão, guiado pelo Espírito Santo, toma o menino nos braços e o desapropria dos seus pais, aquele menino é para toda a humanidade. Também o seu canto manifesta esta sua espera 9 confiante: viveu para chegar a este momento; agora pode se retirar para que também outros possam ver a luz e a salvação que chegou para Israel e para o mundo inteiro. Por sua vez, Ana, com a idade de 84 anos, também quer completar o quadro da espera (84 = 7 × 12: o número perfeito vezes as doze tribos ou 84 – 7 = 77: perfeição redobrada). Sobretudo com o seu modo de viver (jejuns e orações) e com a proclamação de quem ela esperava. É guiada pelo Espírito de profecia, é dócil e pura de coração. Além disso, pertence a menor das doze tribos que é aquela de Aser: sinal de que os menores e mais frágeis são os mais favoráveis a reconhecer Jesus Salvador. Estes dois anciãos simbolizam o melhor do judaísmo, a Jerusalém fiel e mansa, que espera e se alegra, e que deixa de agora em diante brilhar a nova luz. Ainda com Simeão, após o canto, ele diz a Maria que o seu menino vai ser causa tanto de queda como de reerguimento para muitos em Israel. Ele será um sinal de contradição. E quanto a Maria, uma espada traspassará a alma dela. Normalmente, interpreta-se aqui o anúncio do sofrimento de Maria. Mas também devemos ver aqui Maria como imagem do povo: Simeão intui o drama do seu povo, que será profundamente dilacerado pela palavra viva e cortante do Redentor. Maria representa o percurso: deve confiar, mas atravessará dores e escuridões, lutas e silêncios angustiantes. A história do Messias sofredor será dilacerante para todos, também para Maria. Não se pode seguir a nova luz destinada ao mundo inteiro sem pagar o preço, sem se arriscar, sem renascer sempre de novo do alto para uma nova criatura. Mas estas imagens, ou seja, da espada que traspassa, do menino que fará tropeçar e abalará os corações, não estão separadas do gesto carregado de sentido dos dois anciãos: pois, enquanto Simeão, toma o menino nos braços, para indicar que a fé é encontro e abraço, não idéia nem teoria; Ana é anunciadora e acende em quem o esperava uma luz fulgurante. – Pe Carlos Henrique Nascimento MINISTERIOS PARA A MISSA DOMINGO 4 de Janeiro CELEBRANTE: Pe Antonio Reis HOSPITALIDADE: Maria Simas e Antonio Borba MESTRE DE CERIMONIAS: Daniel Silva MUSICA: Maria Clementina, Jose Carreiro, e João Silveira CANTICOS: Antonio Sousa, Isabel Reis, Rita Fonte, Magarida Filipe, Lucia Valdão, Filomena Vieira, Nasci mento Ferreira, e Lucia Martins LEITORES: 1a. leitura: Conceição Silva Salmo: Conceição Silva 2a.

INTENCAO DA MISSA: Adelaide & Manuel Moniz † ANUNCIOS: Isabel Reis BOLETIM: Paul Moreira Advertising page Advertising page For us, Christ is everything. We begin in each day in his presence. We are his people, from many walks of life, and from many nations and languages. We adore the Lord, address him with the psalms of our ancestors and enter the sacred Liturgy, the source and summit in our life in Christ. Through our Catechetical programs we pass on the faith both to adults and children, training in holiness which calls us to a Holy life distinguished above all in the art of prayer. Rising from prayer we minister to the needs of those who ask our help, with food and other assistance. We are the people of St. Edward Catholic Church in Newark, California. Christ is everything. If you have a wound to heal, he is the doctor; if you are in need of help, he is strength; if you fear death, he is life; if you desire Heaven, he is the way; if you are in the darkness, he is light. Blessed are they who hope in him!
