Hello friends,
A few days ago we celebrated the birth of Jesus at Bethlehem. Some of us sang the song: Silent night, Holy night. The silence of that night was broken only by the angels praising God and announcing peace to God's people on earth. Now the peace and quiet are gone. Jesus remained behind in Jerusalem during the feast of the Passover. With this we can see that the holy family had their share of problems. If you read the early chapters of St. Matthew and St. Luke's gospels you might get the impression their lives were full of problems.Today's gospel is the only gospel that tells us anything about Jesus as he was growing up. What panic Joseph and Mary must have felt not being able to find him for three days. Every family has good and bad times.
Happy New Year 2019!
Hola amigos,
Acaba de pasar la Navidad en la cual celebramos el Nacimiento del Niño Dios. Ahora estamos por despedir este año Viejo y recibir el 2019. Ojalá y una de nuestras metas para este año nuevo sea ser una mejor persona; ser más parecidos a Jesucristo. Despedimos este año con la Fiesta de la Sagrada Familia y lo recibimos con la Solemnidad de Santa Mariá, Madre de Dios. El proximo domingo celebraremos la Solemnidad de la Epifania del Señor. Ese domingo tendremos un padre visitante que viene de parte de "Food for the Poor," comida para el ambriento. Espero y lo reciban de muy Buena manera. Ese fin de semana yo estare fuera del pais. Yo me voy a tomar unos dias libres antes de comenzar el proximo año escolar. Feliz Año Nuevo 2019 a todos ustedes!
