TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

The song of the angels, “Holy, Holy, Holy,” resounds from our lips at every Mass. There was a widespread belief in the

first religions of the world that God stirred creation into being by a word, a song, a musical note. Music and a sense of

God’s presence have always been inseparable. In the liturgy, your voice is invited into this song as the priest names the

reasons for our praise. “Heaven and earth are full of your glory,” and we are not passive onlookers, but participants in this

glory. Catholic prayer no longer assigns this angelic hymn to a choir, but gives it to you to sing. Even if your voice is

thought to be suitable only for a well‑insulated shower stall, you are called into this song.

We are born to sing—just listen to a baby testing the full range of newly‑discovered vocal abilities. Soon we get

shushed and hushed into quiet, and given lots of messages that our voices are unwanted, and that we need to raise our

hands in order to be heard. All of that is overturned in liturgy, the place where God waits to hear us come alive in the

song of all creation. In heaven, everyone’s in the choir; why not start practicing now?—James Field,

— 1 Corinthians 13:13

"The time you spend with Jesus in the Blessed

Sacrament is the best time you will spend on

earth.

Each moment that you spend with Jesus will

deepen your union with Him and make your

soul everlastingly more glorious and beautiful

in Heaven, and will help bring about everlast-

ing peace on earth," - Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta

Jesús te espera en el Santísimo Sacramento. Te invitamos a un encuentro con

Jesús cada jueves en la adoración Eucarística, en la Iglesia de 6pm a 7 pm.

El Padre José estará escuchando confesiones de las 6 a 7 pm.

Come spend one hour with Jesus every Thursday from 3 to 7 pm during Blessed Sacrament Adoration in the church, and

Fr. José will be hearing confession from 6 to 7 pm.

En muchos hogares Latinos el tiempo de Navidad terminó el día dos de febrero con la levantada del Ni-ño Dios en la fiesta de la Candelaria. Es interesante co-mo el pueblo cristiano tiene un cierto afecto para Jesús en su aspecto de niño. Desde hace siglos con el evan-gelista Lucas y la virgen María la imaginación cristiana ha ido buscando al Divino Niño en el templo; con san Cristóbal lleva cargando al Niño Dios sobre los hom-bros mientras cruza el río de la vida y san Antonio de Lisboa juega con el Niñito Jesús sobre un libro teoló-gico mientras estudia la Palabra de Dios. Fueron los monjes cistercienses del siglo XII quie-nes primero desarrollaron esta devoción al Niño Jesús. En su afán por conocer mejor al Dios hecho humano entraban por medio de la meditación imaginativa en los cuatro evangelios. Esta meditación es un entrar en la vida de Jesús de tal manera que vives los eventos en tu corazón y desarrollar así una relación afectiva con el Señor. La devoción al Niño Dios debe ser acompañada de la lectio divina.--—Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM
