THE SOLEMNITY OF MARY
First Reading: Numbers 6:22-27 The Lord told Aaron to bestow his blessings on the Israelites. God wanted them to know that by invoking his name they would be blessed by him. Second Reading: Galatians 4:4-7 Paul describes how through Jesus’ birth, we have been delivered from the laws that exiled Gentiles from God’s community. Though Jesus, the Gentiles became God’s adopted sons and would receive the same blessings that the Jewish converts had been promised. Gospel: Luke 2:16-21 The shepherds went to Bethlehem to see Jesus and immediately understood all that they had been told about him. They praised God for what they had seen, and Jesus was given the name that the angel had chosen for him.

SOLEMNIDAD DE LA VIRGEN MARIA Y así la familia humana comienza otro Año Nuevo. ¿Recuerdan el Año Nuevo 2016? Aunque el año pasado 2016 tuvo sus momentos felices de belleza y promesas, también trajo, como cualquier otro año, y para algunas personas por muchos años, no sólo triunfos sino también tragedias. En efecto, todo lo que podemos afirmar con certeza acerca de este Año Nuevo es que, como promete sabiamente esa antigua exhortación matrimonial a los recién casados: El futuro esconde a los ojos de ustedes las esperanzas y desilusiones, los éxitos y los fracasos, los placeres y los sufrimientos, las alegrías y las penas. Entonces, ¿cómo prepararnos para todo lo que nos espera, que aún permanece envuelto en el misterio del silencio de Dios? La Iglesia responde que nos preparamos escuchando la palabra de Dios y fijando nuestra mirada en María. Hoy, como en el primer día de cada Año Nuevo, la Iglesia pone a María en este umbral transcendental. María, la hija fiel de Israel, nos pide que guardemos nuestra fe tal como ella lo hizo, viniera lo que viniese y junto a Dios, cuyo Nombre santo las sagradas Escrituras invocan para que “[nos] bendiga y [nos] proteja, haga resplandecer su rostro sobre [nosotros] y [nos] conceda su favor. Que el Señor [nos] mire con benevolencia y [nos] conceda la paz”, pero nunca la paz separada de la cruz de Jesús. La cruz de Jesús, cualquiera que sea la forma que tenga en este Año Nuevo, dará fruto en nosotros, pues no somos esclavos del destino, sino hijos e hijas de Dios. Nuestros corazones están llenos del Espíritu, que revela a Dios como un Abba, cuyo amor y protección nunca le fallaron a María, y nos conducirá a nosotros de manera segura, aunque no siempre con serenidad, por el curso del año 2017.
