Book Selection: Finding True Happiness:
Satisfying Our Restless Hearts by Fr. Robert Spitzer
Please join us!
Reflection of the Week
The blessing included in the First Reading
from the Book of Numbers is one with which
most of us are familiar. “The Lord bless you
and keep you; the Lord let His face shine
upon you, and be gracious to you…” In the Jewish culture
this has been known for centuries as the Aaronic blessing as
it was dictated by God Himself to Aaron. It is important to
note that it begins with “The Lord bless you.”
Vocation Discernment Group
To aid men discerning a vocation to the priesthood.
The group meets every other month on Thursdays, 6pm, at the
Pastoral Center (290 S. Arlington Av, Reno)
They will also have meetings available online for those who
cannot be in Reno.
Email Fr. Bob Chorey at [email protected].
All blessings come from God. One error we make is to
conclude that blessings always mean happiness or security
or prosperity. God knows what blessings we need, even if
we do not. They key for us is to be grateful for whatever
blessings we may have. That mind set is at the hub of
stewardship — knowing all blessings come from the Lord,
and our need to be appreciative of them.
To be “kept” by the Lord is to turn our lives over to Him, to
know that He is with us and that He loves us, blesses us,
and does indeed “keep” us ever in His care. The truth is that
to be blessed by God is one of the greatest gifts we can
receive. It is available to all of us without exception.
During this continued Christmas season, it is well to
remember and repeat the classic statement by the character
Tiny Tim in Charles Dickens’ immortal A Christmas Carol:
“God bless us, every one,” for certainly He does.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
“Octave” comes from the Latin word for “eight,”
and since eight is one step beyond seven, the number of
days in a week, it has long been seen as a symbol of
perfection, completion, and new beginnings. Early
Christians called Sunday the “eighth day,” since it was
the day after the Sabbath and a day of resurrected life,
the Lord’s Day. By the seventh century, people
regarded the eight days after Easter Sunday as one
great day, an octave, one glorious feast when people
were forbidden to fast or kneel. In the seventh century,
Pentecost acquired an Octave, too. Christmas didn’t
claim the honor of a continuous feast, but it did get an
Octave Day. January 1 is the oldest Marian feast, the
Octave of Christmas. It was originally a feast of the
motherhood of Mary, although for centuries until 1969
it was called the Feast of the Circumcision. Our
reformed calendar follows the earlier tradition of
celebrating Mary as Mother of God.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
En Nicaragua y otras naciones latinoamericanas se
celebra el final de un año con la “quema del año viejo”.
Construyen grandes muñecos con ropa vieja, pólvora y
papel que se encienden a medianoche entre los dos años.
Celebrar el comienzo de un año nuevo tiene una larga
trayectoria en la historia humana. Hace unos 4000 años el
pueblo de Babilonia ya festejaba la llegada de un nuevo año
con grandes fiestas de primavera. Los judíos, al igual que
otros pueblos agrícolas, también celebraban su año nuevo
durante la primavera, el primer día de Nisán (a principios de
abril).
Fue Julio César quien nos dio la fecha del primero de
enero como el inicio de nuestro calendario. En 1582 el Papa
Gregorio XIII reformó el calendario para darnos el que
actualmente está en uso. No obstante, los cristianos
continuaron celebrando el año nuevo en primavera para
evitar los excesos del “hombre viejo”. Hace 400 años la
Iglesia comenzó a celebrar el día primero de enero buscando
cristianizarlo lo mejor posible. Por eso en el calendario
litúrgico este día es dedicado a María, Madre de Dios.
