Good News
THE BLESSING WE RECEIVE The blessing we experience in Christ Jesus is proclaimed in Numbers as the special blessing for the people of Israel. They and we are to be blessed by the invocation of God's loving kindness, the shining glory of God's face turned toward us in love, not away from us in anger. We are blessed by God's own peace! Our wish and our hope are fulfilled in this blessing, which is made visible in the coming of Jesus. In Jesus, the image of the invisible God, God's face is shown to us and God's presence is made known to us in faithful and loving kindness. QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK Adults: As I reflect on the God-Child, what does it say to me about the love of God for us all? Children: I know that God loves everyone. Is there anything I can do to become more loving this new year?

cordia de Dios, la gloria resplandeciente de su rostro que nos mira con amor y no se aleja de nosotros con ira. Hemos sido bendecidos por la paz de Dios! Nuestro deseo y nuestra esperanza se cumplen en esta bendicin, que se hace visible en la venida de Jess. En Jess, la imagen del Dios invisible, se nos muestra su rostro y su presencia se nos da a conocer en la bondad amorosa y fiel. PREGUNTAS PARA LA SEMANA Adultos: Si reflexiono un momento acerca del Nio Dios, qu me revela del amor que Dios siente por nosotros? Nios: S que Dios ama a todas personas. Qu puedo hacer este ao para ser ms amoroso?

God bless you for your regular support of our church. SEGUNDA COLECTA La segunda colecta es para el Fondo para el Mantenimiento de la Iglesia. Que Dios les bendiga por su apoyo financiero. +++++++ THE FIRST AND BEST DISCIPLE The title Mother of God honors Mary's motherhood. She nurtured the Savior, believed in him, and followed him to the foot of the cross. Scriptural details about Mary are few, but enough to show us her character. She was a risk taker. She trusted in God no matter the outcome (Luke 1:18). She was protective. When her baby's life was threatened by Herod she went to Egypt (Matthew 2:13-15). She was a prayerful (Luke 2:19). She was persistent. She searched for three days when the boy Jesus was lost in Jerusalem (Luke 2:43-46). She was joyful. Her song of praise to God (Luke 1:46-55) shows a rich spirituality. She was courageous. She stood by Jesus through his agonizing death (John 19:25). At the wedding at Cana (John 2:1-11), when the wine had run out, Jesus said to fill the jars with water. Mary said to the waiters, "Do whatever he tells you." Isn't this the heart of discipleship? Shouldn't we follow her example? LIVING STEWARDSHIP NOW The motherhood of Mary is so important that it sometimes eclipses her role as Christs first disciple. All of us, men and women, can follow her example as disciples. Make a short list of ways you can be like her in the year ahead toward family, neighbor, church, and community.

LA MEJOR Y PRIMERA DISCPULA El ttulo de Madre de Dios honra la maternidad de Mara. Ella aliment al Salvador, crey en l y lo sigui hasta los pies de la cruz. Son muy escasos los detalles que ofrecen las Escrituras acerca de Mara, pero suficientes como para ensearnos su carcter. Ella tomaba riesgos, confi en Dios sin medir los resultados (Lucas 1:18). Ella era protectora, cuando la vida de su beb fue amenazada por Herodes se fue a Egipto (Mateo 2:13 -15). Ella oraba con constancia (Lucas 2:19). Ella era persistente, busc al nio Jess durante tres das cuando se perdi en Jerusaln (Lucas 2:43-46). Ella era alegre, su cntico de alabanza a Dios (Lucas 1:46-55) demuestra una rica espiritualidad. Ella era valiente, permaneci junto a Jess mientras l agonizaba (Juan 19:25). En la boda de Can (Juan 2:1-11) cuando lleg a faltar el vino y Jess dijo que llenaran las tinajas con agua Mara dijo a los que servan, "Hagan lo que l les diga". No es esto lo esencial del discipulado? No deberamos nosotros seguir el ejemplo de Mara? LA CO-RESPONSABILIDAD VIVIDA AHORA La maternidad de Mara es tan importante que a veces eclipsa su papel como primera discpula de Cristo. Todos nosotros, tanto hombres como mujeres, podemos seguir su ejemplo de discpula. Hazte una corta lista con las maneras en que puedes ser como ella durante este ao con tu familia, tus vecinos, tu iglesia y tu comunidad.

Prayer for the New Year

O God of new beginnings and wonderful surprises, thank you for the gift of a new year. May it be a time of grace for me, a time to grow in faith and love, a time to renew my commitment to following Your Son, Jesus. May it be a year of blessing for me, a time to cherish my family and friends, a time to renew my efforts at work, a time to embrace my faith more fully. Walk with me, please, in every day and every hour of this new year, that the light of Christ might shine through me, in spite of my weaknesses and failings. Above all, may I remember this year that I am a pilgrim on the sacred path to You. Amen.

Que mi espritu se llene solo de bendiciones y las derrame a mi paso. Clmame de bondad y de alegra para que cuantos conviven conmigo o se acerquen a mi, encuentren en mi vida un poquito de T. Dame un ao feliz, y ensame a repartir felicidad. Amen.

Treasures From Our Tradition

On this feast, we can see how devotion to Mary has been a beacon of hope to the sick throughout history. In the new cathedral of Los Angeles, the faithful enter through a single door topped by a striking sculpture of Mary with arms stretched down in compassion. Sculpted into the massive bronze doors are the titles of Mary most treasured by various cultures. Many of them speak of how the sick are consoled by a sense of Mary's presence. Dorothy Day once recalled St. Bonaventure's remark that after the Lord's long forty days of fasting in the desert, when he was diminished and weak from his struggle, the angels who ministered to him went first to the Blessed Mother's house. There they saw the soup that was on her stove, and took some to the Lord so that he would delight in it even more since his mother had prepared it. "Of course," said Dorothy Day matter-of-factly. In praying the rosary and savoring the stories of Mary's steadfast love in the face of all suffering, the sick are strengthened by one of

Tradiciones de Nuestra Fe
Ao nuevo, vida nueva! El da primero de enero, mientras muchos celebran las cbalas y cabauelas de un ao nuevo, los cristianos conmemoramos a quien dio a luz al autor de la vida. Mara, bajo el ttulo de Madre de Dios, es como nosotros deseamos celebrar la esperanza de un ao nuevo, vida nueva! El Concilio de feso en el ao 431 declar a Mara como la Theotokos; la que "carga a Dios". Este dogma tiene que ver ms con el Hijo que con la madre y fue proclamado para afirmar que Jesucristo "desde toda la eternidad fue Dios". Contina la doctrina y afirma "As como toda madre humana, no es solamente madre del cuerpo humano sino de la persona, as Mara dio a luz a una persona, Jesucristo, quien es Dios y hombre, entonces Ella es la Madre de Dios". sta s que es vida nueva! Dios nace como ser humano y el ser humano carga a Dios. Gracias a Dios, todo ser humano puede ser como Mara Theotokos y cargar a Dios en su corazn. Feliz Ao Nuevo! --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM
