Feast of the Presentation of the Lord

Mary and Joseph took Jesus up to Jerusalem to present him to the

Lord, just as it is written in the law of the Lord

How was your Christmas? Did you get what you wanted? Was every-

body happy with the gifts you gave them? Have you returned all of the presents you received that you did not want or that do not fit? Did you spend some time Jesus? Do you spend some time to reflect on and appreciate His role and importance in our lives? Do we understand that a constantly growing intimate relationship with Jesus is a tremendous gift? St. Luke tells us about Simeon, a righteous and devout man who awaited the consolation of Israel. Eight days after the first Christmas, the Birth of Jesus, Joseph and Mary brought Him to the Temple to perform the custom of the law. Simeon realizes that the Lord had fulfilled His promise to let Simeon see Christ the Lord. When Simeon saw the child Jesus he knew he had received a tremendous gift. We have received the gift of awareness of who and what Jesus is in our lives. A constantly growing intimate relationship with Jesus is the real gift of Christmas. It is a gift we should cherish and share with others every day of the year.

Word of Life

“When parents say ‘yes’ to life for their child, they are saying ‘yes’ to the most loving and healing path for all in-volved. When God invites us to draw close to him by following his commandments (Jn 14:15), he does so because he wants what is best for us. By saying ‘yes’ to life for their child, which is morally good and right, parents are placing their trust in God and embracing their child and the life their child has been given for as long as it is given.”

RETORNO A LA NAVIDAD La celebración de hace tres semanas del Bautismo del Señor señaló el fin “oficial” del tiempo de Navidad para la Iglesia. La fiesta de hoy de la Presentación del Señor parece extender la celebración un poco más allá. En realidad, algunos han nombrado esta fiesta una “Segunda Epifanía”. La primera lectura nos recuerda la anticipación del Advi-ento, como escribe Malaquías: “Envío a mi mensajero para que prepare el camino ante mí”. La lectura de los Hebreos nos recuerda la Encarnación, proclamando que Jesús tuvo una “parte” de la misma “carne y sangre”. El Evangelio encuentra al niño Jesús en su primera visita a Jerusalén, y a sus padres una vez más sorprendidos y asombrados por los acontecimientos de su nacimiento. En la sencillez del pesebre, en la grandeza del templo, en la domesticidad de Nazaret, Jesús viene. ¡Que lleguemos a conocerlo y por ello nos encontremos lle-nos de “sabiduría” y de la “gracia de Dios!” Copyright © J.

SANTOS TIMOTEO Y TITO (Siglo I) 26 de enero

Timoteo y Tito fueron colaboradores cercanos del apóstol Pablo. Timoteo es descrito por Pablo como un “hombre de Dios” a quien le pide que no se abochorne de ser joven y que no permita que alguien lo desprecie por ser un líder joven. Asimismo, fue su compañero apostólico en la evangelización de Tesalónica, Corinto y Éfeso. De esta última comunidad fue su obispo y ahí tuvo como encargo organizar la comunidad y sus ministerios. Fue testigo del martirio de Pablo y, posteriormente, él mismo sufrió el martirio. Tito fue convertido al cristianismo por el mismo Pablo. Es Pablo quien destaca en Tito las cualidades de artífice de la paz, administrador, mediador en los conflic-tos y de gran capacidad para organizar las comunidades nacientes que enfrentaban el acecho de la falsa doctrina. Tito murió, según las fuentes a los 93 años. Pablo escribe a ambos, en sus cartas pastorales, respecto a las cuali-dades que ellos, como obispos, deben tener. Asimismo, recorre uno a uno los ministerios de la Iglesia y los com-portamientos que deben ser observados por los miem-bros de la comunidad.

EL CAMINO A DIOS El único camino que nos lleva a Dios es la humildad;

todos los demás caminos sólo descarrían, aunque es-tuvieran cercados con todas las virtudes.
