ANUNCIOS
NUESTRA MAYORDOMÍA
La obediencia de José a Dios no fue una cosa de una sola vez. Su
atención a la advertencia del ángel impidió que Jesús fuera
asesinado por Herodes y llevó al cumplimiento de la profecía de
que el Mesías sería nazareno. ¡La fidelidad a la voluntad de Dios
también asegura el mejor uso de mis talentos!
OUR STEWARDSHIP
Joseph’s obedience to God was not a one-time thing. His attention
to the angel’s warning kept Jesus from being murdered by Herod
and led to the fulfillment of the prophecy that the Messiah would be
a Nazarene. Fidelity to God’s will assures the best use of my talents,
too!

A “JESUS-STYLE” FAMILY
We all like to wear new clothes. Now that a new year is
beginning, we would like to start it with new resolutions that are
sometimes difficult to meet, such as losing weight, exercising or
quit smoking. Most of the time, the resolutions are short-lived.
In today’s second reading, Paul describes something workable,
which is a good model: the clothing that is appropriate for God’s
chosen ones. It is a garment made of compassion, kindness,
humility, and patience. It is not that making a resolution to
practice these virtues will be easier, but it is more enduring. Put
love on, Paul tells us, and this way peace will reign. We want
peace in our families and want to have good and strong families.
The recipe is in that clothing, although somewhat expensive,
because these virtues are not instantly acquired, but with lots of
sacrificed love and plenty of practice.
Today we celebrate the Holy Family and we are called to live a
new life of family, where the relationships are not based on who
can do more or is in charge, nor on the envy between siblings, or
the unequal treatment that leads to resentment, but on
compassion, kindness, and patience. This is a family in the style
of Jesus.
What do I appreciate the most in the life of my family?
Am I willing to work to have a family “Jesus-style”?
UNA FAMILIA AL ESTILO DE JESÚS
Todos nos gusta estrenar ropa nueva. Ahora que comienza un
nuevo año, nos gustaría empezar con nuevos propósitos, que a
veces son difíciles de cumplir, como adelgazar, hacer ejercicio o
dejar de fumar. La mayoría de las veces los propósitos duran
poco. En la segunda lectura de hoy, Pablo nos describe algo
realizable, que es un buen modelo: el vestido que conviene a los
elegidos de Dios. Es un vestido hecho de compasión, bondad,
humildad y paciencia. No es que hacer un propósito de practicar
estas virtudes vaya a ser más fácil, pero sí será más duradero.
Pónganse encima el amor, nos dice Pablo, y así reinará la paz.
Queremos paz en nuestras familias y queremos tener buenas y
sólidas familias. La receta está en ese vestido, aunque sea algo
caro, porque esas virtudes no se adquieren instantáneamente, sino
con mucho amor sacrificado y mucha práctica.
Hoy es el día de la Sagrada Familia y se nos llama a vivir una nueva
vida de familia, donde las relaciones no se basen en quién puede
más o manda más, ni en la envidia entre hermanos, ni en un trato
desigual que lleva al resentimiento, sino en la compasión, la
bondad y la paciencia. Esta es una familia al estilo de la de Jesús.
¿Qué aprecio más en la vida de mi familia?
¿Estoy dispuesto a trabajar para una familia “al estilo de Jesús”?
