We always say that the family is one of our greater values.

But the protec on of the family not always is a reality
among us.

Homily reflec on
A er the image of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, the family is
sacred. We know, however, that nowadays the family
faces huge challenges: break ups, separa ons, conflicts in
rela onships, dicul es in the care of the elderly and of
special needs children, problems of legal status that may
separate the family. The ideal of family unity might seem
too distant for us. What is true is that in any type of
family, community, or group, the quali es proposed to us
today make life and communica on a li le easier:
kindness, humility, gentleness, and pa ence. Doing
everything in the name of Jesus will temper our
impa ence, our desire to be the center of everything, the
harshness in dealing with others. Doing everything in the
name of Jesus will remind us of who we are: children who
have received the love of the Father. And, in reminding us
of who we are, it will also remind us on how we should
live.

For reflec on
What problems of my family would be easier if I prac ced
more o en the simple mo o of doing everything in the
name of Jesus?

La Sagrada Familia
de Jess, Mara y Jos
Mis ojos han visto a tu Salvador, al que has
preparado para bien de todos los pueblos.
Lucas 2:30-31

Las lecturas de Hoy y su Mensaje

Eclesistico 3:2-6, 12-14
Una serie de consejos prcticos ayudan a un mejor cumplimiento del cuarto mandamiento:
no gloriarse nunca en la deshonra de los padres. El autor sabe asimismo que la educacin
con amor vale ms que los reproches.

Colosenses 3:12-21
Todo se hace por mediacin de Cristo, tambin la entrega de la vida personal. Despus de
las exhortaciones generales sigue una serie de advertencies dirigidas a las diversas categoras de personas de la casa: esposas,maridos, hijos, padres, esclavos, patrones.

Lucas 2:22-40
Desde su nacimiento, Jess est inmerso en una cultura concreta. Pertenecer al pueblo de
Dios es pertenecer a un pueblo de profetas.
Nuestra cultura: Decimos siempre que la familia es uno de nuestros mayores valores.
Pero no siempre la proteccin de la familia es una realidad.

Guadalupe

SOMOS LA SAGRADA FAMILIA DE DIOS

Las lecturas de Israel estn repletas de relatos de parejas estriles a
quienes Dios les concedi el milagro de tener hijos. Sin duda el relato
ms conocido es el de la primera lectura de hoy: Lucas se inspir en
este relato para contar el milagroso nacimiento de Juan Bautista, hijo
de Zacaras e Isabel, y el nacimiento aun ms milagroso de Jess, hijo
de Mara y Jos. En ambos casos, vemos ejemplos o modelos a seguir
de personas que confiaron en Dios. Ms que ser ejemplos de personas
que confiaron, son modelos de entrega incondicional de s. Abandonaron sus propios preconceptos y prejuicios sobre el funcionamiento del
mundo y entregaron sus vidas a creer en un Dios que puede hacer que
haya vida en lugares en donde era inconcebible que la hubiera; un Dios
que puede convertir la muerte en una vida nueva e inimaginable; un
Dios que puede, hoy, tomar a un niito de
padres humildes en un pueblo insignificante y
convertirlo en una luz para el mundo entero.
Esto es a lo que se nos llama a hacer cada da
como Sagrada Familia de Dios: confiar no
slo en nosotros mismos y en la manera en
que pensamos que deberan ser las cosas, sino
a abrirnos y entregarnos en fe a un Dios de
promesa infinita.
Copyright J. S. Paluch Co.
REFLEXINES SOBRE LA FAMILIA
La familia, a imagen de la de Jess, Mara y Jos, es sagrada.
Sabemos, sin embargo, que hoy da la familia se enfrenta a enormes
desafos: hay rupturas, separaciones, conlictos de relacin, dificultades en el cuidado de los ancianos y de los nios con necesidades
especiales, problemas de estatus legal que separan a la familia. El
ideal de familia unida a veces nos puede parecer lejano. Lo que s es
cierto es que, en cualquier tipo de familia, comunidad, grupo humano,
las mismas cualidades que se nos presentan hoy son las que facilitan
la vida y la comunicacin: la benevolencia, la humildad, la dulzura y
la paciencia. Hacerlo todo en nombre de Cristo es lo que nos templar
a veces las impaciencias, el afn de protagonismo, las asperezas en el
trato con los dems. Hacerlo todo en nombre de Cristo nos recordar
quines somos: hijos que hemos recibido todo el amor de un Padre.
Y al recordarnos quines somos, nos recordar tambin cmo
debemos vivir.

Reflexin para mi familia...

Qu problemas de mi familia se solucionaran mejor si yo practicara
ms ese sencillo recuerdo: hacerlo todo en nombre de Cristo?

Un buen cuento para empezar el ao nuevo

En Chartres, Francia, existe una de las catedrales ms bellas

del mundo. Llev muchsimos aos construirla y, sin los avances
de la tecnologa moderna, todo era ms lento.
Cuando la estaban construyendo, dicen que pas un monje
por el lugar y vio a los trabajadores. Era un trabajo dursimo, y
algunos estaban amargados y enojones, otros ms serenos y
uno de ellos contentsimo. Al monje le llam la atencin la
diferencia y decidi preguntar. Primero le pregunt a uno de los
ms disgustados, quien le dijo que tena la desgracia de ser
pobre y no le quedaba otra que trabajar en ese trabajo tan duro.
Estaba deseando terminar e irse a casa.
Otro, algo ms sereno, dijo que al menos tena trabajo y podia
mantener a sus hijos. Era un trabajo duro, pero estaba agradecido de poder tener la oportunidad. Estaba deseando irse a casa
para estar con su familia.
Pero un tercero, que estaba muy sonriente y hasta cantaba,
le dijo: Estamos construyendo para Dios una bellsima catedral!
Estoy deseando verla terminada.
Siendo el mismo trabajo, hay una gran diferencia en la actitud
interior. La misma situacin, vivida y sentida diferente, ennoblece
o denigra, alegra o entristece, facilita o entorpece, ensea o
amarga. Si dejamos que las cosas nos opriman, si perdemos la
conianza en los dems y la esperanza en Dios y centramos todo
en nosotros mismos y en el sufrimiento o la incomodidad
presente, posiblemente caeremos en un crculo vicioso en el que
cada vez nos hundiremos ms. Pero, si confiamos, nos entregamos al servicio, le vemos el sentido de la vida y la obra de
Dios, podremos caminar con conianza y alegra. El pensar en el
in ltimo, el porqu hacemos las cosas, nos dar una visin amplia y mucho ms bella. Seguramente la obra ser incluso mejor,
ms perfecta, ms completa, ms bella.

Para compartir

Con cul de las actitudes de los trabajadores me identifico

ms frecuentemente? Por qu?
Encuentro maneras y razones para cambiar mis actitudes?
En qu me detengo ms: en el da a da o en el ltimo de
la obra?
Hago mi trabajo con alegra, o lo llevo como una carga?
En el mundo que nos rodea, es posible ser optimista?

Realizar un listado de actitudes que nos llevan a ser pesimistas y otro que nos conduce a adoptar actitudes optimistas. Conversar sobre las diferencias y sus consecuencias.
Cmo podra ayudar esta historia a los nios de mi clase?
Qu actitudes observo en ellos?
