Christmas Sunday

We are celebrating! Jesus is born and wants to live in our lives and be part of our family. During this week, the church continues to celebrate the birth of Jesus, the universal church is in celebration.

This Sunday is the celebration of the Holy Family, Jesus, Mary and Joseph. This week we celebrate daily that Jesus was born. How can we imitate the Holy Family? We can make some goals, for example, gathering as a family to pray for a few minutes before dinner, the family that prays together stays together. Second example; do not speak badly of someone in the family, nor disrespect each other amongst family members. Third, help and share with family, use your manners and ask for things saying "Please" and "thank you." Fourth, go to Mass on Sunday and confess regularly. This is what pleases the Lord!

We are nearing the end of this year, and beginning of next year. I would like to remind you of the importance of being registered as a member our community of St Vincent’s, please use your member envelopes each week, if you have run out please come to the parish office for more.

Next Sunday we invite you to celebrate the feast of the Three Kings; we will have a visit from the Magi that will bring gifts for the children. There will be food vendors, fun and more. No missing Mass!

P. Jose Jesus

Nativities

Pope Sixtus III in the V century (AD) and celebrated Christmas with some representations of the birth of Christ built in a church grotto made to look like the one from Bethlehem. However, St. Francis is considered as the creator of the Nativity scene. In 1223 he wanted to celebrate "Christmas Eve" in where he could relive the memory of Jesus being born in Bethlehem. For everyone to better understand the conditions in which it happened, he took the Nativity into the forest with persons who attended and it began to become popular. Over time, the lack of space forced them to replace “real people” and animals with figures made of wood or clay. This tradition was received with great affection and spread around the world since the sixteenth century. The Nativity invites us to reflect on the great mystery of God made man for love of man. Hopefully all houses would put even a small Nativity to perpetuate this Christian tradition.

Domingo de Navidad

Estamos de Fiesta! Jesús nos a nacido y quiere vivir en nuestras vidas y ser parte de nuestra familia. Durante esta semana, la iglesia sigue celebrando día a día el nacimiento de Jesús, la iglesia universal está de Fiesta, estamos enfiestados.

Este domingo es la celebración de la Sagrada Familia, Jesús María y José. Durante esta semana celebramos que Jesús a nacido. Día Octavo, que significa celebrar el nacimiento de Jesús diariamente por ocho días. Que podemos imitar de la Sagrada familia? Podemos hacer algunos propósitos como; antes de comer, nos reunamos a rezar por unos minutos, la familia que reza unida, permanece unidad. Segundo punto, no hablar mal de alguien en la familia, ni faltarse el respeto entre los miembros de la familia. Tercero, compartir y ayudarse en familia, pedir las cosas diciendo: “Por favor,” y “gracias.” Cuarto, ir a Misa en domingo y confesarse regularmente. Esto es lo que agrada al Señor!

Estamos muy cerca de que termine este año, y empezar el Año próximo. Les recuerdo la importancia de pertenecer a Nuestra comunidad de San Vicente, por favor usen sus sobres cada semana, si se le terminaron pase a la oficina por más. Les invitamos a celebrar la fiesta de los Santos Reyes la próxima semana, nos visitarán los Reyes Magos y traerán regalos para los niños. Habrá comida diversión y mucho más. No falten a Misa! P. José Jesús Los Nacimientos

El Papa San Sixto III, en el siglo V (d.C.) ya celebraba la Navidad con algunas representaciones del Nacimiento de Cristo realizados en una gruta semejante a la de Belén que el mismo había mandado construir en una Iglesia. Sin embargo, se considera a San Francisco de Asís como el creador e los nacimientos. En 1223 quiso celebrar una “noche buena” en la que se reviviera el recuerdo de Jesús nacido en Belén. Para que todos pudieran comprender mejor las condiciones en la que sucedió, puso un nacimiento en el bosque con personas que asistieron y se empezó a popularizar. Con el paso del tiempo, la falta de espacio obligó a sustituir a las personas y animales con figuras de madera o de barro. Esta tradición fue acogida con gran cariño y se extendido por todo el mundo desde el siglo XVI. El nacimiento nos invita a reflexionar en el gran misterio de Dios hecho hombre por amor al hombre. Ojala que todas la casas tuvieran a bien poner aunque sea un nacimiento pequeño y perpetuar esta tradición cristiana.
