THE BLESSING WE RECEIVE The blessing we experience in Christ Jesus is pro-claimed 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 im-age 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. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION On this feast, we can see how devotion to Mary has been a beacon of hope to the sick throughout history. In the new cathedral of Los Angeles, the faithful enter through a single door topped by a striking sculpture of Mary with arms stretched down in compassion. Sculpted into the massive bronze doors are the titles of Mary most treasured by various cultures. Many of them speak of how the sick are consoled by a sense of Mary’s presence. Dorothy Day once recalled St. Bonaven-ture’s remark that after the Lord’s long forty days of fasting in the desert, when he was diminished and weak from his struggle, the angels who minis-tered to him went first to the Blessed Mother’s house. There they saw the soup that was on her stove, and took some to the Lord so that he would delight in it even more since his mother had pre-pared it. “Of course,” said Dorothy Day matter-of-factly. In praying the rosary and savoring the sto-ries of Mary’s steadfast love in the face of all suf-fering, the sick are strengthened by one of our tradi-tion’s most shining treasures, and the whole Church is enriched. —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

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

READINGS FOR THE WEEK Monday: 1 Jn 2:22-28; Jn 1:19-28 Tuesday: 1 Jn 2:29 — 3:6; Jn 1:29-34 Wednesday: 1 Jn 3:7-10; Jn 1:35-42 Thursday: 1 Jn 3:11-21; Jn 1:43-51 Friday: 1 Jn 5:5-13; Mk 1:7-11 or Lk 3:23-38 [23, 31-34, 36, 38] Saturday: 1 Jn 5:14-21; Jn 2:1-11 Sunday: Is 60:1-6; Ps 72; Eph 3:2-3a, 5-6; Mt 2:1-12

PRAYER OF THE WEEK January 1, 2012, Mary, the Holy Mother of God O God, who through the fruitful virginity of Blessed Mary bestowed on the human race the grace of eternal salvation, grant, we pray, that we may experience the intercession of her, through whom we were found worthy to receive the author of life, our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son. Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Reflection question: What can I take to the Blessed Virgin Mary in prayer this week?

María Santísima, Madre de Dios

1o de enero de 2012 María, por su parte, guardaba todas estas cosas

y las meditaba en su corazón. — Lucas 2:19

LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: Octava de Navidad; Año Nuevo; María Santísima, Madre de Dios; Jornada Mundial de Oración por la Paz Lunes: Santos Basilio Magno y Gregorio Nacienceno Martes: El Santísimo Nombre de Jesús Miércoles: Santa Elizabeth Ann Seton Jueves: San Juan Neumann Viernes: San André Bessette Sábado: San Raimundo de Peñafort TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE ¡Año nuevo, vida nueva! El día primero de enero, mientras muchos celebran las cábalas y cabañuelas de un año nuevo, los cristianos conmemoramos a quien dio a luz al autor de la vida. María, bajo el título de Madre de Dios, es como nosotros deseamos celebrar la esperanza de un ¡año nuevo, vida nueva! El Concilio de Éfeso en el año 431 declaró a María como la Theotokos; la que “carga a Dios”. Este dogma tiene que ver más con el Hijo que con la madre y fue proclamado para afirmar que Jesucristo “desde toda la eternidad fue Dios”. Continúa la doctrina y afirma “Así como toda madre humana, no es solamente madre del cuerpo humano sino de la persona, así María dio a luz a una persona, Jesucristo, quien es Dios y hombre, entonces Ella es la Madre de Dios”. ¡Ésta sí que es vida nueva! Dios nace como ser humano y el ser humano carga a Dios. Gracias a Dios, todo ser humano puede ser como María Theotokos y cargar a Dios en su corazón. ¡Feliz Año Nuevo! —Fray Gilberto Cavazos�Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

El Obispo Robert Lynch será el celebrante principal en la Misa de Acción de Gracias en la cual se honrará a todos los matrimonios de la diócesis que celebran este año sus bodas de plata o de oro, así como las parejas que

Colecta de Alimentos Enlatados Este fin de semana estamos colectando productos enlatados para el Banco de Alimentos de la Iglesia Luterana de Our Savior, el cual ayuda a muchas familias de esta área de Town ‘N Country. ¡Gracias!

ORACIÓN DE LA SEMANA 1o de enero de 2012, María Santísima Madre de Dios Señor Dios, que por la fecunda virginidad de María diste al género humano el don de la salvación eterna, concédenos sentir la intercesión de aquélla por quien recibimos al autor de la vida, Jesucristo, Señor nuestro, que vive y reina contigo.

sábado, 28 de enero, 2012 de 8:30am—12md en la parroquia Corpus Christi en Temple Terrace, Tampa. 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. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — El Señor te bendiga y te proteja. Que el Señor te mire con benevolencia y te conceda la paz (Números 6:22-27). Salmo — El Señor tenga piedad y nos bendiga (Salmo 67 [66]). Segunda lectura — Dios envió a sus corazones el Espíritu de su Hijo, que clama “¡Abbá!” (Gálatas 4:4-7) Evangelio — Los pastores se volvieron a sus campos, alabando y glorificando a Dios por todo cuanto habían visto y oído (Lucas 2:16-21).
