The Holy Family of
December 31, 2017
“They took him up to Jerusalem to present him to the Lord. Now there was a man in Jerusa-lem whose name was Simeon. This man was righteous and devout awaiting the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. He came in the Spirit into the temple; and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to perform the custom of the law in regards to him, he took
him into his arms and blessed God, saying: ‘Now Master you can let your servant go in peace.’” How often we have attended a baptism, as parent, godparent, big brother or sister, relative or friend. Some assumed the role of Joseph and Mary, others that of Simeon, or Anna who prayed. Whatever our role, we are called to recognize the special presence of the Christ as they did. Joseph protected, Mary reflected, Simeon prayed and praised. We do too. Pope Francis in his exhortation ‘The Joy of Love’ provides a terrific teaching as we bring one year to a close and turn the page to a new year of grace. He says, ‘Family prayer is a special way of expressing and strengthening this paschal faith. A few minutes can be found each day to come together before the living God to tell him of our worries, to ask for the needs of our family, to pray for someone experiencing difficulty, to ask for help in showing love, to give thanks for life and for its blessings and to ask Our Lady to protect us beneath her maternal mantle. With a few simple words, this moment of prayer can do immense good for our families.’ As we hear of all the new year’s resolutions, may we see this as our priority.
“Llevaron al niño a Jerusalén para presentarlo al Señor. Vivía entonces en Jerusalén un hombre llamado Simeón, que era justo y piadoso, y esperaba el consuelo de Israel. El Espíritu Santo estaba en él… Conducido por el mismo Espíritu, fue al Templo, y cuando los padres de Jesús llevaron al niño para cumplir con él las prescripciones de la Ley, lo tomó en sus brazos y alabó a Dios, diciendo: ‘Ahora, Señor, puedes dejar que tu servidor muera en paz.’” Cuántas veces hemos asistido a un bautismo, como padre, padrino, hermano o hermana mayor, pariente o amigo. Algunos asumieron el papel de José y María, otros el de Simeón o el de Ana rezando. Cualquiera que haya sido su papel, estamos llamados a reconocer la especial presencia del Cristo tal como ellos lo hicieron. José protegía, María reflexionaba, Simeón oraba y alababa. Nosotros lo hacemos también. En su exhortación ‘La Alegría del Amor’, el Papa Francisco provee una maravillosa enseñanza para terminar este año y dar vuelta a la página de un nuevo año de gracia. El dice: ‘La oración familiar es una forma especial de expresar y fortalezar esta fe pascual. Encontremos unos minutos cada día para reunirnos ante el Dios viviente y contarle nuestras penas, pedirle por las necesidades de nuestra familia, orar por alguien que pasa por dificultades, pedir ayuda para demostrar amor, para dar gracias por la vida y tantas bendiciones y para pedirle a Nuestra Señora que nos proteja bajo su manto maternal. Con unas simples palabras, este momento de oración puede beneficiar inmensamente a nuestras familias.’ Al escuchar todas las resoluciones para este nuevo año, que sea esta nuestra prioridad.
Incredibile! Gesù, la sorgente di vita, il Redentore, la luce dei non credenti, l’onore di Israele, è destinato ad essere un segno di contraddizione; egli che è chiamato a portare la redenzione dovrà, nello stesso tempo, essere la spina che provocherà la perdita di molti uomini. E colei che ha dato alla luce il Redentore, che ha unito in sé l’amore di Dio e quello dell’uomo, è destinata a sopportare il dolore della spada che trapassa il cuore! Tutto ciò sembra strano, eppure è stato
proprio così: l’incredibile è successo. La profezia di Simeone si compie nella sua totalità nei secoli. Il cuore di Maria ha conosciuto il dolore di sette spade che lo trapassavano quando lei tremava per la vita del Bambino durante la fuga in Egitto; quando lo vedeva sfinito, non compreso, umiliato nel suo apostolato; quando venne arrestato, processato, torturato, e quando lo accompagnò nella via della croce, vedendolo soffrire e morire sulla croce. Ancora oggi Maria continua a soffrire con noi quando pone il suo sguardo sulle nostre pene e sulle nostre sofferenze, continua a soffrire con noi che rischiamo, coi nostri peccati, di perderci. È raro vedere un ritratto o una statua della Madonna sorridente, mentre quasi in ogni chiesa vediamo rappresentata Maria addolorata. Gesù è venuto dai suoi, ma i suoi non l’hanno accolto; ha portato la luce, ma il mondo è rimasto nelle tenebre.
