Don’t forget Mass on New Year’s Day Thursday at 9:00 AM Altar Servers 5:00 PM Carl Carrano, Thomas & Jack Campbell We are God’s Holy Family 7:30 AM Anthony & Joey Jauregui 9:30 AM Keefe Carter, Sean Martin The scriptures of Israel are filled with many stories of barren couples who were miraculously granted the gift of children by God. Surely the best known among these is the first reading from today, from which Luke took inspiration when he recounted the miraculous birth of John the Baptist to Zechariah and Elizabeth, and the more miraculous birth of Jesus to Mary and Joseph. In each instance, we are given examples or role models of those who trusted in God. More than examples of those who trust, they are models of selfsurrender. They abandoned their own presuppositions and prejudices about the workings of the world and turned their lives over to belief in a God who can make life grow where none ought to; a God who can turn death around into a new and unimagined life; a God who can, today, take a tiny child of humble parents in an insignificant town and make him into a light for all the world. This is what we, as God's holy family, are called to do each day: to trust not in ourselves and the way we think things should be, but to open ourselves and surrender ourselves in faith to a God of endless promise.

Reflecting on God’s Word On Christmas we celebrate God becoming human, when the face of creation was changed. We ponder that great mystery of the Incarnation: Jesus is true God and truly human. The divine has entered into communion with the human in the body and soul of Jesus of Nazareth. Christmas is not a single day, however, but an entire season. Today, the Sunday after Christmas, we ponder the Holy Family. What difference does this mystery of the Incarnation make for families? Jesus came to bring together the children of Israel into a new family, a family united not by blood but by faith in him. So in today’s Gospel we see some of the first members of that family. Luke’s Gospel has been called the Gospel of Jesus as the compassion of God, the Gospel of prayer, the Gospel of the Holy Spirit; we can also think of it as the Gospel of family. He first introduces us to Mary’s cousin, Elizabeth, and Elizabeth’s husband, Zechariah, parents of John the Baptist. Then we meet Mary and Joseph. Today we meet two other family members, Simeon and Anna, not related by blood, but only by faith in the promises of the God of Israel. Each sees in the child Jesus the glory of Israel and the light for the Gentiles. Christmas reminds us that by baptism into Christ we are now part of God’s family. As God’s family, “God’s chosen ones,” as Paul reminded the Colossians (3:62), we are to put on heartfelt compassion, kindness, gentleness, and patience, bearing with one another and forgiving one another. —James A.

Immigration Changes & Warning El 20 de noviembre, el Presidente anuncio un Nuevo programa UE beneficiara a mas de 4 millones de personas indocumentadas en todo el país y aproximadamente 150,000 en los contadores de San Diego e e Imperial. Caridades Católicas, en colaboración con el Provecto Organizando de San Diego (SDOP), han trabajado durante muchos anos para mejorar la vida de las familia inmigrantes en nuestras comunidades. En este día, hemos Ganado una gran victoria! Los dos cambios mas importantes incluyen la protección contra la deportación y un permiso de trabajo para los padres indocumentados con un hijo o una hija que es un ciudadano de los EEUU o residente legal permanente y la expansión de quien es elegible para los mismos beneficios bajo el programa conocido come “Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals” (DACA) La gente no podrá aplicar durante varios meses, por lo que es muy importante que usted no de dinero ningún PWEAON UE siux que el o ella puede ayudare ahora. En las próximas semanas. Caridades Católicas y SDOP proveerán sesiones de información gratuitas para ayudarle a entender esta nueva oportunidad, y el próximo ano cuando el gobierno inicie aceptar solicitudes, estaremos a su disposición para ayudar a las personas con derecho a solicitar este programa con servicios competentes y de bajo costo. Vivamos la Palabra de Dios Pasemos unos pocos minutos de tranquilidad en oración dándole gracias a Dios por llamarnos a ser parte de su sagrada familia y por darnos en el Bautismo y la Confirmación el don del Espíritu Santo. Este Espíritu se ha derramado en nuestros corazones y nos une con su presencia entre nosotros. Derechos de autor © 2014, World Library Publications. Palabra de Dios “No os canséis de alzar con firmeza vuestra voz en defensa de la vida desde su concepción, y no os apartéis de vuestro compromiso de tutelar con valiente determinación la dignidad de toda persona humana. Discurso del Santo Padre Juan Pablo II a los prelados de la Conferencia Episcopal de Albania en visita “ad limina”, 3 de febrero de 2001 © 2001 Libreria Editrice Vaticana. Reflexionemos sobre la Palabra de Dios En la Navidad celebramos que Dios se hizo hombre y así el rostro de la creación cambió. Reflexionamos en ese gran misterio de la encarnación: Jesús es verdadero Dios y verdaderamente hombre. La divinidad ha entrado en comunión con la humanidad en el cuerpo y el alma de Jesús de Nazaret. Pero la Navidad no es un solo día, sino todo un tiempo del año. Hoy, en este domingo después de Navidad, reflexionamos sobre la Sagrada Familia. ¿Qué diferencia hace este misterio de la encarnación en las familias? Jesús vino para reunir a los hijos de Israel en una familia nueva, una familia unida no por sangre sino por la fe en Dios. Así es que en el Evangelio de hoy vemos a algunos de los primeros miembros de esa familia. Al Evangelio de Lucas se le ha llamado el Evangelio de Jesús, que es la compasión de Dios, el Evangelio de la oración, el Evangelio del Espíritu Santo, y también podemos verlo como el Evangelio de la familia. Lucas nos presenta primero a Isabel, la prima de María y al esposo de Isabel, Zacarías, los padres de Juan el Bautista. Luego conocemos a María y a José. Hoy conocemos a otros dos miembros de la familia, Simeón y Ana, que no son consanguíneos, sino más bien parientes por la fe en las promesas del Dios de Israel. Ambos ven en el Niño Jesús la gloria de Israel y la luz para los paganos. La Navidad nos recuerda que al ser bautizados en Cristo pertenecemos a la familia de Dios. Como “elegidos de Dios”, como les recuerda Pablo a los colosenses (3:12), debemos revestirnos de compasión, de bondad, de mansedumbre y de paciencia, soportándonos mutuamente y perdonándonos los unos a los otros. —James A. Wallace, C.Ss.R. Derechos de autor © 2014, World Library Publications. Somos la Sagrada Familia de Dios Las lecturas de Israel están repletas de relatos de parejas estériles a quienes Dios les concedió el milagro de tener hijos. Sin duda el relato más conocido es el de la primera lectura de hoy: Lucas se inspiró en este relato para contar el milagroso nacimiento de Juan Bautista, hijo de Zacarías e Isabel, y el nacimiento aun más milagroso de Jesús, hijo de María y José. En ambos casos, vemos ejemplos o modelos a seguir de personas que confiaron en Dios. Más que ser ejemplos de personas que confiaron, son modelos de entrega incondicional de sí. Abandonaron sus propios preconceptos y prejuicios sobre el funcionamiento del mundo y entregaron sus vidas a creer en un Dios que puede hacer que haya vida en lugares en donde era inconcebible que la hubiera; un Dios que puede convertir la muerte en una vida nueva e inimaginable; un Dios que puede, hoy, tomar a un niñito de padres humildes en un pueblo insignificante y convertirlo en una luz para el mundo entero. Esto es a lo que se nos llama a hacer cada día como Sagrada Familia de Dios: confiar no sólo en nosotros mismos y en la manera en que pensamos que deberían ser las cosas, sino a abrirnos y entregarnos en fe a un Dios de promesa infinita.
