Gifts to God...Have You Given Yours?
Reflection of the Week
On this First Sunday of Advent, we
are
invited
to
examine
our
relationship to God as we prepare
for the birth of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
This is a time for us to deepen our connection to
the Lord through various opportunities and paths.
As sinners we are expected to reconcile with
God.
In the Gospel from Mark, Jesus advises us to “Be
watchful! Be alert!” The Lord is not speaking
about next week, nor even the Christmas for
which we prepare. This is something He expects
us to do today, this instant. Christ makes
reference to a Master who, like God, leaves
others in charge of His household. God expects
each of us to be stewards of His household.
He has left us His household, His Church, and
we are supposed to build and maintain that. He
has given us free will; in other words God has
given us authority over the gifts He has given us.
Finally, He expects each of us to fulfill our role in
His Kingdom. Stewardship invites every one of us
to participate and to contribute to the good of
the whole, our faith community — not next week,
not just at Christmas, but now. “God is faithful,
and by him you were called to fellowship with his
Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.”
(1 Cor 1: 9)

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Each of the seven sacraments, like other aspects of
the Church’s pastoral plan, is an attempt to be faithful to
the image of Christ we discover in the Gospels.
Anointing of the sick is rooted in Jesus’ saving deeds of
healing and even rescue from death. What is your
favorite encounter of Jesus with a sick person? Often, it
seems that Jesus would go at once to the person in a
crowd who was in the most pain, in the deepest need. A
man born blind, Peter’s mother‑in‑law, a woman
afflicted by years of uncontrollable hemorrhages, a little
Roman girl beloved by her soldier father, a crippled man
lowered from the rafters, and even a man who lost his ear
to a swinging sword in the garden of agony. This list
reads like an admissions chart in an emergency room, and
perhaps that is the point. The whole human experience
from childhood to old age, from sudden catastrophic
illness to chronic debilitating conditions, is represented
by those for whom Jesus has such great compassion. This
we can name a treasure of tradition with a capital “T.”
We are a people of compassion for our sick, who reach
out in tenderness to listen, to keep vigil, to strengthen, to
touch with reverence, and to anoint with precious oil.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Durante tres años he estado compartiendo muchas
costumbres y tradiciones Hispanas, Latinas y
Latinoamericanas. Este nuevo año litúrgico deseo
expandir el horizonte de Tradiciones de nuestra fe, más
allá de lo nuestro, para ver las raíces y prácticas de nuestra
tradición católica-cristiana. Los cristianos católicos,
ortodoxos y de otras denominaciones, consideramos que
el mensaje de Dios no puede limitarse a un solo libro, pues
la revelación divina nos llega mediante la Tradición y la
Sagrada Escritura. Debemos saber que por Tradición no
estamos hablando de costumbres y prácticas religiosas,
tales como las posadas, el rosario u otras devociones. Más
bien, la Tradición (con mayúscula) se ocupa de la
Doctrina oral del Evangelio que ha sido transmitida de una
generación a otra, a partir de los Apóstoles. Parte de esa
Tradición fue escrita en la Sagrada Escritura (Biblia) pero
no toda. Como nos lo dice Juan el Evangelista “Hay
además otras muchas cosas que hizo Jesús. Si se
escribieran una por una, pienso que ni todo el mundo
bastaría para contener los libros que se escribieran” (Juan
21:25).

“[T]he courage and grace shown by those women who
choose life—in the face of fear, uncertainty,
parental or partner intimidation, seemingly
insurmountable odds—make them today's heroes. They
are joined by the many who counsel, support and
nurture them both before and after the birth of their
child. Such self-giving love…is powerfully
transformative of mother, of child, of families, of
cultures.”

“El valor y la gracia demostrados por las mujeres que
optan por la vida –frente al miedo, la incertidumbre,
la intimidación de los padres o la pareja–
aparentemente insuperables obstáculos, las hacen las
heroínas de hoy. A ellas se suman los muchos que
aconsejan, apoyan y mantienen a la madre y la criatura
antes y después del nacimiento. Tal amor de entrega
… es poderosamente transformador de la madre, del
niño, de las familias, de las culturas”.
