Remember, Reflect, Respond
CORNER
Ask the Liturgist….
How About Christmas Trees?
The same problem can occur when Christmas trees,
especially if they are heavy with tinsel and other
decorations, are placed in the altar area. If they
are used at all, trees must not overwhelm the space.
In many places, fire regulations prohibit real trees,
and these regulations should be followed. Churches
are not immune to fire and, especially on Christmas
when the building might be full to capacity, extra
care needs to be taken. As for artificial trees, there
is to be nothing fake in our liturgical celebrations, so
they, too, should be avoided. Remember that Easter
is the high point of the liturgical year. Having overly
elaborate Christmas décor could prove challenging
when Easter décor is being considered.

This feast has had several names through history. Most recently, it was called the
Feast of the Circumcision and then the Feast of the Holy Name of Jesus. The Church
finally settled on a more ancient title, Mary, the Holy Mother of God. It also has a
secondary title of the Octave of Christmas, the secular title of New Years Day, and
an honorary title of World Day of Prayer for Peace. Strangely, the title that is most
confusing to non-Catholics is the official one.
When we call Mary the Mother of God, we are not saying that she somehow preceded God or is equal to God. We are simply recognizing that her human son Jesus is
also the divine Son of God. We honor Mary because God honored her by choosing
her to be the mother of Jesus. In her humble response of "let it be done to me," she
agreed to be part of God's plan for our salvation. And so today's Gospel records one
simple action of Mary: to keep these things in her heart.
Even in this simple sentence we are given a good example of being a disciple. Like
Mary, we need to both keep, or remember, what God has done, and to reflect on
what we remember. First, how much do we remember about what God has done for
us? How well do we know the stories of salvation found in the scriptures? How well
do we know God's actions in Church history? And how much do we remember of
the personal graces given us by God? Do we recall the prayers God has answered, the
guidance given, the love of God that others have shown us, the times God has forgiven us?
Second, how much do we reflect on what God has done? Even if we have many
memories of God's goodness to us, we also need to pray over them and ask ourselves
how we have changed because of what God has done. Am I more generous to others?
Do I forgive hurts more readily? Do I share my faith with my family or friends? Do I
support my parish with my time or offerings? Let us ask God's help to imitate Mary
by remembering and reflecting.

Santa María, Madre de Dios
BENDITAS NOTICIAS
Tanto el libro de los números como el de los Salmos describen el ser bendecidos, como la experiencia del rostro de nuestro Padre iluminado así como él nos
ve. Las bendiciones se reciben con gestos y expresiones de gracia y bondad. En
Gálatas se nos recuerda que también nosotros somos hijos de Dios. Como hijos,
la bendición de nuestro Padre se busca y se aprecia. Los pastores llegan y repiten el mensaje de los ángeles. Ellos traen la Buena Nueva de los ángeles que eso
niño es tanto Hijo de Dios como hijo de María. Este pequeño, indefenso, pobre
niño es el Salvador, el Señor y Rey por quien todos han esperado. Él es la bendición que ilumina el cielo y el rostro de quienes lo ven. Este Hijo, este Señor y
Rey, descansa en el regazo de los brazos de su madre y ella medita todas estas
cosas.
R
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
ESPUESTA A NUESTRA ORACIÓN
Hay muchas noticias de varias fuentes en estas lecturas.
Moisés, Pablo, ángeles, pastores, todos tienen una noticia acerca de este niño. Pero no hay ninguna noticia de María. María
está en silencia y pensativa. El mensaje de los pastores es increíble, pero ya ella había escuchado este mensaje y su respuesta
entonces fue un sí. Sí a la incertidumbre, a lo desconocido, a la
bendición. Su respuesta ahora es meditativa, guardando todas
estas cosas en su corazón. Ella dijo sí y ahora eses sí es real en su
pequeño hijo. Ella llevó a cabo el cumplimiento de esa promesa
anterior en sus brazos y está fuertemente consciente de lo pequeña y vulnerable que es la promesa. Ella sabe que su hijo, el
Hijo de Dios, es la respuesta a las oraciones de tantos durante
tanto tiempo, y ella sabe lo frágil que la respuesta es. Su hijo
necesita ser amado y alimentado. Así como María sabe y nosotros sabremos, la respuesta a una oración es solo el principio.

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.

A 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.
