COMMUNION ETIQUETTE We invite you to the importance of reverence when you approach the altar to receive Jesus in Holy Communion. When you stand in front of the priest or communion minister it is customary to bow your head as a sign of reverence and to respond Amen as the priest or minister says the Body or Blood of Christ. There are 2 proper ways to receive communion: either on the tongue or in your out-stretched hands. It is not proper or acceptable to reach out and grab the host. In the next few weeks, we will return to the practice of having the altar servers or ushers hold a paten in front of you as communion is distributed.

Por mi parte, mi familia y yo, serviremos al Señor! Joshua 24.15
EN EL HOGAR ESTÁ LA FAMILIA La idea, el sueño y la realidad de lo que es familia es tan fuerte y perdurable que lo usamos para describir lo mejor de las relaciones humanas. Hablamos de una fami-lia de naciones, de nuestra familia eclesial y parroquial. El mejor halago que podemos dar a un amigo o amable anfitrión es decirle que nos sentimos como en casa con su compañía, que nos sentimos parte de la familia. Las familias son el primer crisol en el que se prueba y se fortalece el amor. Jesús mismo fue una de tres per-sonas que vivía a la sombra del otro. Esta familia, como la nuestra, no siempre “lo hacía todo bien”, pero siempre trataba. Estos tres amateurs celebraban un día de fiesta, y uno de ellos se perdió. Los otros dos se preocuparon bas-tante y se esforzaron grandemente para encontrar al ter-cero, un niño después de todo, que siempre buscaba el significado de su llamado. Encontró su vocación –hacer la obra del Padre– pero también volvió a casa con sus padres.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El primer domingo después de la Navidad celebramos la fiesta de la Sagrada Familia. Los latinos somos un pue-blo muy unido en familia. Para nosotros es más que un pequeño grupo compuesto de padre, madre, hijos e hijas. La familia para nosotros los latinos es un conjunto grande de abuelos, abuelas, tíos, tías, primos, primas, compadres, comadres, suegros, suegras y otros más además del padre, la madre y los hijos. Para los latinos una fiesta que cele-bra la familia de Jesús es la cosa más natural del mundo. Extrañamente esta fiesta no es muy antigua. En reali-dad es una celebración que data de comienzos de la época moderna en el siglo XVII. Antes de estas fechas la fami-lia de Jesús casi siempre era entendida como compuesta por Jesús, María y Ana (la madre de María). Se daba por hecho que José estaba por allí. Pero en el siglo XVII mu-chos perdieron sus padres pues tenían que ir a las fábricas a trabajar. Por eso el magisterio instituyó la conmemora-ción de la Sagrada Familia de Jesús, María y José para recordar a los padres cristianos su deber ante sus hijos y su esposa.
La Sagrada Familia de Jesús, María y José 30 de diciembre de 2018 Hermanos míos, ahora somos hijos de Dios, pero aún no se ha manifestado cómo seremos al fin. — 1 Juan 3:2a
DIOS ES UN NIÑO QUE RÍE CONTIGO Dios es un niño que ríe contigo. Dios es un niño que llora, que llora por ti. Dios es un niño que ama, que te ama con corazón de niño y con la fuerza de un Dios.
