“Greetings from Paul, a servant of Christ Jesus, called to be an apostle and set apart to proclaim the gospel of God which he promised long ago… the gospel concerning his Son who was descended from David… Through him we have been favored with apostleship, that we may spread his name and bring to obedient faith all the Gentiles among whom are you who have been called to belong to Jesus Christ.” Not a Christmas card, but the

beginning of a special inspired letter which Paul sent to the Roman community. He knew who he was, no identity problem. He knew his role as both servant and apostle. His greeting is directed to us, and like the many cards we receive and send, we realize we are servants and apostles too. We are to spread His name because we have been invited to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. We have the same mission to bring others to the Lord. It might be someone in my family who has wavered in the practice of the faith. It might be someone weighed down with a hurt or problem, asking us to help lift them in this time of need. It might be that person next to us, curious because I belong to Christ, and they only need our simple invitation. Our response can be a Christmas card and gift for them. ‘Come Lord Jesus.’

“Carta de Pablo, servidor de Jesucristo, llamado el Apóstol, y elegido para anunciar la Buena Noticia de Dios, que él había prometido… acerca de su Hijo, Jesucristo, nuestro Señor, nacido de la estirpe de David… Por él hemos recibido la gracia y la misión apostólica, a fin de conducir a la obediencia de la fe, para la gloria de su Nombre, a todos los pueblos paganos, entre los cuales se encuentran también ustedes, que han sido llamados por Jesucristo.” No es una tarjeta de Navidad, sino el comienzo de una especial e inspirada carta que San Pablo envió a la comunidad romana. El sabía quién era, no tenía problemas de identidad. Conocía su papel tanto como siervo y como apóstol. Su saludo está dirigido a nosotros, y así como tantas tarjetas que recibimos y enviamos, nos damos cuenta de que nosotros también somos siervos y apóstoles. Debemos divulgar Su nombre porque hemos sido invitados a tener una relación personal con Jesucristo. Tenemos la misma misión de traer a otros al Señor. Puede que sea alguien en nuestra familia que ha dejado de practicar la fe. Puede ser alguien que ha sucumbido a un dolor o problema, y que nos pide ayuda para levantarse en su hora de necesidad. Puede ser la persona que tenemos al lado, curiosa al ver que pertenecemos a Cristo, y quien sólo necesita una simple invitación. Nuestra respuesta puede ser tanto una tarjeta navideña como un regalo para ellos. ‘Ven, Señor Jesús.’

Il Vangelo secondo san Matteo comincia con la “genealogia di Gesù Cristo”. L’evangelista sottolinea così che la storia che Dio ha cominciato con Abramo ha ora raggiunto il suo obiettivo in Gesù Cristo. L’obiettivo non è la fine della storia, poiché essa continua, ma in modo nuovo. Ci mostra fino a che punto questa storia sia nuova il brano del vangelo di oggi che parla della

“nascita di Gesù Cristo”. San Matteo usa qui questa parola, che può significare tutto: genesi, origine, fonte, esistenza, divenire. Il rinnovamento completo si prepara già al versetto 16, in cui si dice: “Giuseppe, lo sposo di Maria, dalla quale è nato Gesù”. È dunque chiaro che san Matteo vuol dire che Giuseppe non era che il padre adottivo di Gesù. Ma chi è il vero padre di Gesù? È una domanda che si pone anche Giuseppe nel nostro testo di oggi. E la risposta è assolutamente chiara: è “per opera dello Spirito Santo” che Maria aspetta un bambino. Ma il testo esprime senza dubbio ancora qualcosa di più. Non è perché è stato generato in questo modo straordinario che Gesù è l’obiettivo della storia di Israele e il fondamento di una nuova comunità; si tratta piuttosto di capire che in Gesù Dio si è unito con noi uomini, come rimedio estremo e per sempre. E ciò per liberarci dalla fatalità della colpa del peccato. Ecco perché il figlio di Maria deve portare il nome di Gesù, cioè: “Il Signore salva”, ed ecco perché noi possiamo anche chiamare Gesù Emanuele, che si traduce “Dio è con noi”. È il messaggio con il quale Matteo inizia il suo Vangelo.

HAPPINESS is a delicate balance between ‘
