La Buena NoticiaEL DON DE LA PALABRA DEDIOS
En este da de recibir y dar rega-los, parece apropiado que
tome-mos un momento para reflexionarsobre el gran don de la Palabra
de
Dios. La Palabra de Dios es creati-va y por eso siempre apunta a
suautor, siempre nos llama a respon-der. La Palabra de Dios es
podero-sa y puede enlazar lo sublime conlo ridculo, lo trascendente
con loinmanente, lo divino con lo huma-no. La Palabra de Dios es
llena degracia, establece una relacin deintimidad profunda entre
nosotrosy Dios.
En el corazn de la Palabra deDios yace una tensin seductoraentre
lo misterioso y lo mundano.En nuestra celebracin litrgica,esta
tensin sin resolucin revelael significado de la vida para noso-tros
y tambin nos llama a respon-der para actuar segn ese
significa-do.
Una vez que la aceptamos y laabrimos, el don de la Palabra
deDios es un regalo que sigue dandoy sigue llamndonos a dar a
cam-bio. Nos reta a ser como el dadorde regalos y a convertirse en
rega-los para los dems, no solo en Na-vidad, sino en cada momento
de lavida.
PREGUNTASPARA LA SEMANAAdultos:Tomando en cuenta la infinita
gra-
cia de Dios, Qu puedo hacer parareconciliarme con las personas
queme han ofendido?
Nios:Me ha hostigado otro nio? Jessme ama y me perdona, Puedo
per-donar a la persona que me ha lasti-mado?
Good NewsTHE GIFT OF GOD'S WORD
On this day of gifts and gift-giving,it seems appropriate that
we take amoment to reflect on the great gift ofGod's Word. Because
it is creative,God's Word always points to its au-thor, always
calls us to respond. Be-cause it is powerful, God's Word can
link the sublime with the ridiculous,the transcendent with the
immanent,the divine with the human. Becauseit is graceful, God's
Word establishesa relationship of deep intimacy be-tween us and
God.
At the heart of God's Word lies atantalizing tension between the
mys-terious and the mundane. In our li-turgical celebration, this
unresolvedtension both reveals the meaning of
life for us and calls us to respond, toact upon that
meaning.Once accepted and opened, the
gift of God's Word is a gift thatkeeps on giving and keeps on
callingus to give in return. It dares us to belike the gift-giver
and to become giftsfor others, not only at Christmas, butat every
moment of life.
QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK
Adults:In light of Gods graciousness tome, what steps can I take
to makepeace with those who have of-fended me?Children:Has someone
bullied me? Jesusloves and forgives me; can I forgivewhoever hurts
me?

CAUSE FOR CELEBRATIONImagine, this day with no child
in the manger, Christmas trees,
presents, or fancy dinner. Howwould you celebrate? For
threehundred years after Jesus' time,Christians did not mark
Jesus'birth. Eventually the church settledChristmas on December 25.
Thisbecame a big festival in the MiddleAges. Later, Puritans

nineteenth century Charles Dick-ens' story A Christmas Carol
re-vived Christmas with a family em-phasis, not a religious one. In
oneof today's readings, Saint Paul getsto the heart of this day:
"When thekindness and generous love of Godour savior appeared, not
because
of any righteous deeds we haddone but because of his mercy,
hesaved us through the bath of re-birth and renewal by the
HolySpirit, whom he richly poured outon us through Jesus Christ
oursavior, so we might be justified byhis grace and become heirs in
hopeof eternal life" (Titus 3:4-7). Nowthat is cause for
celebration!
LIVING STEWARDSHIP NOWChristmas in the Church's calen-dar is a
season that starts onChristmas Day and continues untilthe Baptism
of the Lord on thefirst Sunday after January 6. Tryextending your
celebrationthrough that time, with small giftsand good deeds of
your choosing.

DIGNO DE CELEBRARSEImagnate esteda sin el Nio en elpesebre. Sin
rbolde Navidad, sinregalos ni comidade Noche Buena.Cmo pudieras
tcelebrar? Durante los trescientosaos siguientes a la poca de
Jesslos cristianos pasaban por alto el
nacimiento de Jess. Por fin la Igle-sia determin el 25 de
diciembrecomo el da de Navidad y lleg a seruna gran fiesta en la
Edad Media.Ms tarde los puritanos suprimie-ron la fiesta por
considerarla paga-na y papista. A mediados del siglodiecinueve la
historia de CharlesDickens A Christmas Carol (Un
cuento de Navidad, 1843) revivi laNavidad en los Estados Unidos
conun nfasis familiar y no religioso. Enuna de las lecturas de hoy
san Pabloexpresa el punto principal de esteda: "Al manifestarse la
bondad deDios, nuestro Salvador, y su amor alos hombres, l nos
salv, no porque
nosotros hubiramos hecho algodigno de merecerlo, sino por su
mi-sericordia. Lo hizo mediante el bau-tismo, que nos regenera y
nos re-nueva, por la accin del EsprituSanto, a quien Dios derram
abun-dantemente sobre nosotros, porCristo, nuestro Salvador. As,
justi-ficados por su gracia, nos converti-remos en herederos,
cuando se re-alice la esperanza de la vida eter-
na" (Tito 3:4-7). Eso s que es algodigno de celebrarse!

Treasures From OurTradition
An old joke asks, "What time isMidnight Mass?" The answer isnot
really obvious, since Christ-mas is unique in having
severaldistinct celebrations. The readings
and prayers vary greatly from hourto hour. The Vigil Mass hinges
onthe family heritage of Jesus and hisorigins. The concept of
"midnight"predates clock time, and really hasto do with a
celebration in thehours of darkness. Years ago, itwas not possible
to receive Com-munion without fasting for a fullday, so the late
hour of this Massmade it possible for the people to
receive. The first Mass after sun-rise, the Mass at Dawn, was
onceknown as "The Shepherds' Mass,"and later Masses set aside
storiesof Jesus' birth to focus on the keyto the day's celebration:
John theEvangelist's majestic theology ofChrist's identity as the
Wordmade flesh, dwelling among us.One feast, four separate
Masses.Only monasteries manage the
whole round. Parishioners typi-cally take just one entry point
intothe mystery. Yet there is much tosavor and celebrate in the
comingof Christ into the world. Christ-mas is not a day, but a
season. Youstill have two weeks to send thoseChristmas cards before
you're offi-cially late!--James Field
Tradicionesde Nuestra FeAdems de conmemorar la lle-
gada del Nio Dios, la Navidad enLatinoamrica es un
acontecimien-to hecho en familia; una celebra-cin de reconciliacin.
Todos an-helamos la armona en nuestras
relaciones humanas, especialmenteen los das festivos y nada
arruinauna buena fiesta como los pleitos ylos rencores. Por eso
durante lapoca navidea hagamos todo loposible por corregir errores
come-tidos durante el ao con amigos yparientes. Muchas veces estas
fal-
tas son imposibles de arreglar, porlo cual Dios nos aconseja el
perdny la reconciliacin.
Una parbola lati-noamericana narraque la "poinsettia," oflor de
pascua, consus bellas hojas ver-des y rojas nace del regalo que
unpobre chiquillo le hizo al nioDios. Mientras otros le daban oro
y
joyas el muchachito no tena msque una hierbita. Este don agradal
Nio Dios quien lo transformen la flor de Navidad. El perdonarpuede
ser amargo como una hier-ba, pero es el don que agrada msal Niito
Jess quien lo transformaen reconciliacin. Al buscar la
re-conciliacin imitemos al Dios re-cin nacido, quien busca la
armon-a con la humanidad.
