THE PASTOR, PAROCHIAL VICAR AND ST ROSE OF LIMA STAFF
WOULD LIKE TO WISH YOU AND YOUR FAMILY A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS AND PROSPEROUS NEW YEAR
New Song: Scott Hahn Reflects on the Nativity of the Lord The Church’s liturgy rings in Christmas with a joyful noise. We hear today of uplifted voices, trumpets and horns, and melodies of praise.
In the First Reading, Isaiah fortells Israel’s liberation from captivity and exile in Babylon. He envisions a triumphant homecoming to Zion marked by joyful singing.
The new song in today’s Psalm is a victory hymn to the marvelous deeds done by our God and King.
Both the prophet and psalmist sing of God’s power and salvation. God has shown the might of His holy arm, they say. This language recalls the Exodus, where the people first sang of God’s powerful arm that shattered Israel’s enemy Egypt. The coming of the Christ child into the world fulfills all that the Exodus and the return from exile prefigured.
In Jesus, all nations to the ends of the earth will see the victory of God over the forces of sin and death.
Jesus is the new King. He is the royal firstborn son and Son of God promised to David, as we hear in today’s Epistle. And as our Gospel reveals, He is the Word of God, the one through whom the universe was created, the one through whom the universe is sustained.
In speaking to us through His Son, God has unveiled a new age, the last days.
The new age is a new creation. In the beginning, God spoke His Word and light shone in the darkness. Now, in this new age, He sends us the true light to scatter the darkness of a world that has exiled itself from God.
He is the one Isaiah foretold – who brings good tidings of peace and salvation, who announces to the world that God has come to dwell and to reign.
So we sing a new song on Christmas. It is the song of those who have believed in the Christ child and been born again – by grace given the power to become children of God.
Nueva canción: Scott Hahn se refleja en la Natividad del Señor La liturgia de la Iglesia suena en Navidad con un alegre ruido. Hoy escuchamos voces elevadas, trompetas y cuernos, y melodías de alabanza. En la Primera Lectura, Isaías forja la liberación de Israel del cautiverio y el exilio en Babilonia. Él prevé un regreso triunfal a Sión marcado por cantos alegres. La nueva canción en el Salmo de hoy es un himno de victoria a las maravillas hechas por nuestro Dios y Rey. Tanto el profeta como el salmista cantan el poder y la salvación de Dios. Dios ha mostrado el poder de su santo brazo, dicen. Este lenguaje recuerda el Éxodo, donde la gente cantó por primera vez el poderoso brazo de Dios que destrozó al enemigo de Israel, Egipto. La venida del Niño Jesús al mundo cumple todo lo que prefigura el Éxodo y el regreso del exilio. En Jesús, todas las naciones hasta los confines de la tierra verán la victoria de Dios sobre las fuerzas del pecado y la muerte. Jesús es el nuevo rey. Él es el hijo primogénito real y el Hijo de Dios prometió a David, como oímos en la Epístola de hoy.Y como revela nuestro Evangelio, Él es la Palabra de Dios, la persona a través de la cual se creó el universo, a través de quien se sostiene el universo. Al hablarnos a través de Su Hijo, Dios ha revelado una nueva era, los últimos días. La nueva era es una nueva creación. En el principio, Dios habló Su Palabra y la luz brilló en la oscuridad. Ahora, en esta nueva era, nos envía la verdadera luz para esparcir las tinieblas de un mundo que se ha exiliado de Dios. Él es el que Isaías predijo - que trae buenas nuevas de paz y salvación, que anuncia al mundo que Dios ha venido a morar y a reinar. Así que cantamos una nueva canción en Navidad. Es el canto de los que han creído en el niño de Cristo y han nacido de nuevo - por la gracia dado el poder de convertirse en hijos de Dios.
