STEWARDSHIP REFLECTION FOR THE WEEK OF DECEMBER 27 / REFLEXIÓN DE LA CORRESPONSABILIDAD PARA LA SEMANA DEL 27 DE DICIEMBRE
We celebrate the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph today. This feast was instituted a little more than 100 years ago because at that time, just as today, the concept of family was under attack. Pope Leo XIII, who served from 1878 to 1903, felt that in Europe in particular the family was in crisis.
The Gospels do not tell us much about the Holy Family in the years from Jesus’ birth to the beginning of His public ministry. We are aware that they fled to Egypt, returned to Nazareth, and today’s Gospel reading tells us
of the twelve-year-old Jesus accompanying His parents to Jerusalem. Today we honor that Holy Family, and we understand that they are a model for us as a Christian family. However, there is also an understanding that we need to be aware that we are part of a bigger family, our faith community as a Church and as a parish.
Just as a family unit cannot function properly without each member playing a part, that is true of our local parish family as well. Each of us needs to play a role and to contribute as a member of that family. That is what stewardship is all about. We must be stewards for our personal families to function, and we must also be good stewards for our parish family to be effective.
FOR A LONGER REFLECTION OR MORE INFO ON STEW-ARDSHIP: HTTP://WWW.THECATHOLICSTEWARD.COMCelebramos la Sagrada Familia de Jesús, María y José en la actualidad. Esta fiesta fue instituida hace poco más de 100 años, porque en ese momento, al igual que hoy en día, el concepto de familia estaba bajo ataque. El Papa León XIII, quien se desempeñó entre 1878 y 1903, consideró que en Europa, en particular, la familia estaba en crisis.
Los Evangelios no nos dicen mucho acerca de la Sagrada Familia en los años desde el nacimiento de Jesús al comienzo de su ministerio público. Somos conscientes de que huyeron a Egipto, de regresar a Nazaret, y la lectura del Evangelio de hoy nos habla de los doce años de edad, Jesús acompaña a sus padres a Jerusalén. Hoy honramos a esa Sagrada Familia, y entendemos que son un modelo para nosotros como una familia cristiana. Sin embargo, también hay un entendimiento de que tenemos que ser conscientes de que somos parte de una familia más grande, nuestra comunidad de fe como Iglesia y como parroquia.
Del mismo modo que una unidad familiar no puede funcionar correcta-mente sin que cada miembro juega un papel, eso es cierto de nuestra familia parroquial local. Cada uno de nosotros tiene que jugar un papel y contribuir como miembro de esa familia. Eso es lo que tiene que ver con la correspon-sabilidad. Debemos ser mayordomos de nuestras familias personales a la función, y también debemos ser buenos administradores de nuestra familia parroquial para ser eficaz.

FEAST OF THE HOLY FAMILY OF JESUS, MARY AND JOSEPH / LA SAGRADA FAMILIA DE JESUS, MARIA Y JOSE 3
IHow easy is it for us to fall into the seasonal pattern of mass marketers and financial driven businesses? I was in Rite Aid on December 6 and they were trying to clear out the Christmas decorations: lights and trees were 50% off. Christmas was still three weeks away…! We make comments about it every year, but it never changes. Things get put up earlier and put away earlier to get ready for New Year’s and then Valentine’s Day.
I like that in most churches we stay with our own seasons. Every year several people will ask me, “Where is the Church’s Christmas Tree?” I smile and say, “We’re still in Advent, we’ll put up our trees and lights and celebrate when Jesus is born.” In fact we celebrate for the next 12 days until the Epiphany on January 6. We call this the Christmas Season. It’s like we live in two different worlds. The physical/material world pulls us one way and our desire to be closer to God draws us another. As we come here and experience the Church’s seasons, let this become the foundation of our spiritual life that will help us navigate the world and society outside.
Thursday Night Confessions: 7pm, January 7 & 14 (at Church)
God bless you all!
Fr. Jim
¿Qué tan fácil es para nosotros caer en el patrón estacional de los vendedores masivos y las empresas financieras impulsadas? Yo estaba en Rite Aid, el 6 de diciembre y estaban tratando de limpiar las decoraciones de Navidad: las luces y los árboles estaban a 50% de descuento. Navidad todavía estaba a tres semanas ...! Hacemos comentarios acerca de esto que cada año, pero nunca cambia. Las cosas se ponen con más anticipación y se aguardan antes para prepararse para el Año Nuevo y luego Día de San Valentín.
Me gusta que en la mayoría de las iglesias nos mantenemos con nuestras propias estaciones. Todos los años, varias personas me preguntarán, “¿Dónde está el árbol de navidad de la Iglesia?” Sonrío y digo: “Todavía estamos en Adviento, vamos a poner nuestros árboles y luces y celebrar cuando nazca Jesús.” De hecho, celebrar durante los próximos 12 días hasta la Epifanía que es el 6 de enero. Llamamos a esto el tiempo de Navidad. Es como que vivimos en dos mundos diferentes. El mundo físico/material nos jala a un lado y nuestro deseo de estar más cerca de Dios nos llama a otro. Al llegar aquí y experimentar la tem-porada de la Iglesia, que esta se convierta en la base de nuestra vida espiritual, que nos ayudará a navegar por el mundo y la sociedad exterior.

Donate a Toy! / Done un Juguete!On January 9 a group of parishioners will visit faith formation children in Tecate, Mexico, at Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception Church, to celebrate the Epiphany. We have celebrate Mass, provide lunch, break a couple of piñatas, and give each child a toy. We invite you to donate a doll or a soccer ball which can be turned in at the office. These children are very needy. If you would like to join us, we will leave at 7am and return in the evening. A meeting to plan trip will be held on January 8 at 7pm. Fr. Sal’s brother, Fr. Francisco Landa, is the pastor of the children we will visit. The girl in the wheelchair was so joyful to receive a toy last year.
El 9 de enero vamos a ir a celebrar el dia de los Santos Reyes a Tecate a la Par-roquia de mi hermano, el Padre Francisco Landa. En la convivencia tenemos misa, les damos lonche, rompen piñatas y reciben un juguete. Lo invitamos a que done una muñeca o balón de fútbol que pueden ser entregados en la oficina. Si gusta ser parte de nuestra caravana, salimos a las 7am y regresamos en la noche. Tenemos reunión para planear paseo el viernes, 8 de enero, a las 7pm. La niña en la silla de ruedas es de Tecate; la conocimos en enero pasado. Que contenta se puso cuando recibió su muñeca! Padre Salvador Landa

Today’s readings connect us to God’s vision for human relation-ships especially those found within the family. St. Paul in the second reading makes clear that the foundation for our human relationships is our relationship with God. When Christ dwells in us and “controls our hearts,” we are able to see others as brothers and sisters – members of the one body. It is then that we grow in love – the bond of perfection. As we begin this Year of Mercy, let us take to heart the words of St. Paul and respond to one another with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.
◆ What makes a family holy in today’s world?
◆ How might seeing others as a sister or brother in Christ change the relationship?
Take a moment to revisit this Sunday’s readings [Sirach 3:2-6, 12-14; Col 3:12-21; Lk 2:41-52] or view them online at http://usccb.org/bible/readings/122715.cfm
Las lecturas de hoy nos conectan con la visión de Dios para las relaciones humanas, especialmente las que se encuentran dentro de la familia. San Pablo en la segunda lectura deja claro que el fundamento de nuestras relaciones humanas es nuestra relación con Dios. Cuando Cristo mora en nosotros y "controla nuestros corazones", somos capaces de ver a los demás como hermanos y hermanas - miembros de un solo cuerpo. Es entonces cuando crecemos en el amor - el vínculo de la perfección. Al comenzar este Año de la Misericordia, llevemos de corazón las palabras de San Pablo y respondemos a unos a otros con compasión, bondad, humildad, mansedumbre y paciencia.
◆ ¿Qué hace a una familia sagrada en el mundo de hoy?
◆ ¿Cómo es que mirando a los demás como hermana o her-mano en Cristo cambian la relación?
Tómense un momento para revisar las lecturas de este domingo [Sirach 3: 2-6, 12-14; Col 3: 12-21; Lc 2, 41-52] o ver en línea en http://usccb.org/bible/readings/122715.cfm

Pope Francis has asked us to be more merciful and to incorporate the Corporal and Spiritual Acts of Mercy into our daily lives. During the year we will highlight the different acts and give concrete ideas on how to live them. Please visit www.usccb.org for more ideas.
CORPORAL ACT OF MERCY: TO FEED THE HUNGRY ◆ Having delicious food at Christmas dinner? Donate to a Christmas
food drive so everyone can have something to eat.
◆ Research, identify and contribute financially to organizations that serve the hungry.
◆ The next time you make a recipe that can be easily frozen, make a double batch and donate one to your local food pantry or soup kitchen.
◆ Try not to purchase more food than you are able to eat. If you notice that you end up throwing groceries away each week, purchasing less groceries would eliminate waste and allow you to donate the savings to those in need.
SPIRITUAL ACT OF MERCY: TO CONVERT SINNERS ◆ Do not judge, but be supportive in helping others find their way and
correct their mistakes. Together we can learn to walk more closely with Christ.
◆ In humility we must strive to create a culture that does not accept sin, while realizing that we all fall at times
◆ Don’t judge, but guide others towards the path of salvation (see Mt 7:1-2)
◆ When you correct someone, don’t be arrogant. We are all in need of God’s loving correction.
◆ We should journey together to a deeper understanding of our shared faith
◆ “Remove the wooden beam from your eye first; then you will see clearly to remove the splinter from your brother’s eye” (Mt 7:5)
El Papa Francisco nos ha pedido que seamos más misericordiosos que incorporamos el Acto Corporal y Espiritual de la Misericordia en nuestras vidas diarias. Durante el año vamos a destacar los diferentes actos y dar ideas concretas sobre cómo vivir de ellos. Por favor, visite www.usccb.org para más ideas.
EL CABO OBRAS DE MISERICORDIA
◆ Tener una deliciosa comida de Navidad cena? Donar a una colecta de alimentos de Navidad para que todos puedan tener algo que comer.
◆ La investigación, identificar y contribuir financieramente a orga-nizaciones que sirven a los hambrientos.
◆ La próxima vez que haga una receta que puede ser congelado fácil-mente, hacer un doble lote y donar uno a su despensa de alimentos o la sopa de la cocina local.
◆ Trate de no comprar más alimentos de los que son capaces de comer. Si usted nota que usted termina lanzando comestibles de distancia cada semana, comprando menos comestibles sería eliminar los residuos y le permiten donar los ahorros a los necesitados.
LAS OBRAS DE MISERICORDIA ESPIRITUALES: AMONESTAR AL PECADOR
◆ No juzgar, pero ser de apoyo en ayudar a otros a encontrar su camino y corregir sus errores. Juntos podemos aprender a caminar más de cerca con Cristo.
◆ En la humildad debemos esforzarnos por crear una cultura que no acepta el pecado, mientras que darse cuenta de que todos caemos a veces
◆ No juzgar, sino guiar a los demás hacia el camino de la salvación (ver Mt 7: 1-2)
◆ Al corregir a alguien, no seas arrogante. Todos estamos en necesidad de corrección amorosa de Dios.
◆ Debemos caminar juntos a una comprensión más profunda de nuestra fe compartida
◆ “Retirar la viga de madera de su ojo primero; entonces verás bien para sacar la paja del ojo de tu hermano” (Mt 7: 5)
