Mary kept all these things,
reflecting on them in her heart.
— Luke 2:19
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.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017 !!
A New Year is upon us giving us new beginnings, new goals, a fresh sense of hope.
Though we cling to our own expectations for the year ahead ,we know God alone is the Sovereign
of our future, Lord of our lives, and source of whatever good we may do, or transformation we may
undergo. Let`s thank God our Lord, for the gift of the days and weeks He has entrusted to us. May
He teach us everyday to be good stewards of our time ahead, that we go about our days keeping
Him at the center of our lives. In the midst of our daily pursuits and activities, may He help to
focus also our eyes on the needs of others, respond with compassion to the needy, open our
hearts to a suffering world. May He, the Almighty, grant us a year of peace, a year where we find a
deep joy that can only be found in Him.
With the intercession of our Heavenly Mother, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of God, may
the Lord bless and protect us!!
Happy New Year 2017! A year of peace, joy and prosperity !!

LA BENDICIÓN QUE RECIBIMOS
La bendición que experimentamos en Cristo Jesús es proclamada en Números
como una bendición especial para el pueblo de Israel. Ellos y nosotros seremos
bendecidos por la invocación de la misericordia 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 bendición, que se hace visible en la venida de
Jesús. En Jesús, la imagen del Dios invisible, se nos muestra su rostro y su presencia se nos da a conocer
en la bondad amorosa y fiel.

RADICIONES 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.
