New Year’s Eve, Wednesday, First Reading
December 31
Genesis 15:1-6, 21:1-3
Vigil- 5:00pm (Eng), 7pm (Español)
“Do not be afraid” is a recurring
theme in Scripture. So many
9:00am (Eng); 10:30am (Eng)
encounters are prefaced with the
12pm(Español)
greeting or variations of same. Still
we can find it next to impossible
not to be afraid. Things seem
HAPPY NEW YEAR beyond us, hopeless at times, and
we battle for composure. Yet

God's promise to Abram and SaNUEVO 2015 rah is fulfilled. Their fears, though

wish you and your families
a blessed and peaceful
New Year!

Hebrews 18:11-12, 17-19
Faith is at the heart of this text.
Where there is real and lived

family unit and the need to hand
on that faith.
Seeing your life through the
Lens of the Gospel
Luke 1:22-40
Simeon also acknowledged that not all
would accept the light that would
shine through Jesus, and this rejection
would be a cause of pain to Mary. It
can be a source of pain to parents,
teachers, Church ministers, and all who
work for others when some reject
values, projects, advice which would
be for their good. Perhaps a sword
has sometimes pierced your soul as
well. What has helped you to maintain
hope in such times?
Musing - Food for thought
There’s a lot of talk these days
about a person’s “Bucket List”, i.e.
things to be accomplished before
death - and the importance of ticking these items off the list. Yet, it’s
a great (and perhaps rare) blessing if one reaches old age and can
truly say "I have few regrets, I am
very happy with how I have lived
my life and, actually, there's nothing left that I really want to or
need to experience - I am happy
to go.” At that stage, perhaps we
can make Simeon’s prayer ours:
“Now, Master, you may let your
servant go in peace, according to
your word, for my eyes have seen
your salvation, which you prepared
in sight of all the peoples.”

Intercesiones por la Vida
Oremos por todas las familias:
para que fomenten un entorno de
amor que acoja nuevas vidas. Intercessions for Life
Let us pray for all families: That
they may foster a loving environment that welcomes new life.
Tiempo de Navidad: La Sagrada Familia
“Oremos hoy por todas las familias del mundo para que
logren responder a su vocación tal y como respondió la Sagrada Familia de Nazaret.
Oremos especialmente por las familias que sufren, pasan
por muchas dificultades o se ven amenazadas en su indisolubilidad y en el gran servicio al amor y a la
vida para el que Dios las eligió”
(San Juan Pablo II)
La familia debe ser una escuela de virtudes.
Es el lugar donde crecen los hijos, donde se
forman los cimientos de su personalidad para el resto de su vida y donde se aprende a ser un buen
cristiano. Es en la familia donde se formará la personalidad, inteligencia y voluntad del niño. Esta es una labor
hermosa y delicada. Enseñar a los niños el camino hacia
Dios, llevar estas almas al cielo. Esto se hace con amor y
cariño.
“La familia es la primera comunidad de vida y amor el primer ambiente donde el hombre puede aprender a amar y a
sentirse amado, no sólo por otras personas, sino también y
ante todo por Dios.”
(Juan Pablo II, Encuentro con las Familias en Chihuahua 1990).
