HIS WORD TODAY by Rev. William J. Reilly

“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. To all in Rome,

beloved of God and called to holiness, grace and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.” Do you ever count how many Christmas cards you receive? Do you classify some as religious, family pictures, or strictly secular? A card sometimes expresses how people feel about you, or even the Christmas season. We are about to celebrate the birth of Christ. Is not this passage of Paul to the Romans a great Christmas wish? We may not be in Rome, but his care for those loved by God is quite clear. We 1. Belong to Jesus Christ 2. Are called to holiness 3. Grace is his wish for us and 4. Peace is the result of the presence of the Lord. May the blessings of Christ be with you and yours.

LA SUA PAROLA OGGI http://www.lachiesa.it

Il Vangelo secondo san Matteo comincia con la “genealogia di Gesù Cristo” (Mt 1,1-17). 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.

WE ARE CALLED TO BE JOYFUL. BUT HOW DOES THIS DIFFER FROM BEING HAPPY?

Happiness is the feeling of contentment, but it is not permanent. Joy is deeper than the emotion of happiness, it is a state of being. It is not as contingent on the human condition as happiness.

Joy is found in the depths of our soul where we connect with the eternal love of God. So no matter how bad the conditions, the state of our soul can remain in the light of God's love and we can rejoice always.

SU PALABRA HOY Por el Reverendo William J. Reilly

“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. A todos los que están en Roma, amados de Dios, llamados a ser santos, llegue la gracia y la paz, que proceden de Dios, nuestro Padre, y del Señor Jesucristo.” ¿Ha contado cuántas tarjetas de Navidad recibe? ¿Las clasifica como religiosas, fotos familiares, o seculares? A veces una tarjeta expresa cómo piensa la gente de usted, o de la época de Navidad. Estamos a punto de celebrar el nacimiento de Cristo. ¿No es el pasaje de San Pablo a los romanos un bello deseo navideño? Puede que no estemos en Roma, pero su interés en los que Dios ama es muy claro. Primero, pertenecemos a Jesucristo. Segundo, somos llamados a la santidad. Tercero, nos desea la gracia. Cuatro, la paz es el resultado de la presencia del Señor. Que las bendiciones de Cristo desciendan sobre usted y los suyos.
