We are once again at the end of the year. We have

celebrated all the regular rituals that come with
Christmas and all the feasts that come with it.
Ever since I was little, Ive had this fascination for
the things we celebrate in our society around
Christmas and New Years. I have always wondered
about the dissatisfaction that seems to remain after the
whole season is passed, and we just get ready to do it
all over again the next year, and the next, and the next
after that.
Some time ago, I visited a friend who invited me
for dinner. After some chatting, we learned that food
was ready. My friends wife called everyone to the
table, and said: dinners ready. Naturally, my friend
and I, as we were in the living room, got up and went
to the dining room. My friends children, however, did
not respond right away. Dinners ready had to be
repeated a couple of times. They were busy playing
video games or locked up to their phones or tablets.
But my friend didnt seem much concerned, since it
seems to be the normal thing now days. They finally
came around the table, in my perception, without
noticing that anyone was present there. One of the
children took a mouthful of food and went back to his
business. The other ones did the same shortly after.
I want to venture to say that we do the same in the
spiritual life. Christmas and the holydays are the
occasions in which we hear dinners ready, and we
believe we respond to it but with all the distractions,
the gifts, the visits, the parties, and everything else, we
dont see the whole picture and only take a mouthful.
Thankfully, the our mother church is here to repeat
time and time again, dinners ready.
My hope and my prayer is that this year, once
again, we come around the table of the Lord, and with
our limitations and distractions, we are able to take
whats been granted to us, at least a mouthful.
May the New Year, 2016, be the opportunity to do
it all over, once again!

Una vez mas estamos en el fin de ao. Hemos

celebrado todos los rituales regulares de Navidad y las
festividades que acompaan.
Desde que era pequeo, he tenido una fascinacin
por las cosas que celebramos en la sociedad alrededor
de la Navidad y el ao nuevo. Siempre he pensado
acerca de la insatisfaccin que parece reinar despus
de que la temporada Navidea ha pasado, y
simplemente nos preparamos para repetir todo de
nuevo el ao que sigue, y el que sigue.
Hace algn tiempo, visite a un amigo que me
invito a cenar en su casa. Despus de platicar un rato
escuchamos que la comida esta lista. La esposa de mi
amigo nos llamo a todos a la mesa: La cena esta
lista. Naturalmente, mi amigo y yo, que estbamos en
la sala, nos fuimos al comedor. Los hijos de mi amigo,
sin embargo, no hicieron caso. La cena esta lista
tuvo que repetirse un par de veces. Ellos estaban
entretenidos jugando videojuegos o amarrados a sus
celulares y tabletas. Pero mi amigo no le puso mucha
atencin pues parece que esto es normal hoy en da.
Finalmente se acercaron a la mesa, en mi percepcin,
sin darse cuenta de nadie. Uno de los nios tomo un
bocado y regreso a sus juegos. Los otros hicieron lo
mismo enseguida.
Quiero aventurarme a decir que nosotros hacemos
lo mismo en la vida espiritual. La Navidad y los das
festivos son ocasiones en las que escuchamos la cena
esta lista y creemos que respondemos al llamado,
pero con todas las distracciones, los regalos, las
visitas, y todo lo dems no nos damos cuenta de lo que
realmente importa. Afortunadamente, nuestra madre
iglesia esta aqu para recordarnos una y otra vez: la
cena esta lista.
Mi esperanza y mi oracin es que este ao, una
vez mas, nos acerquemos a la mesa del seor, y que
con nuestras limitaciones y distracciones, seamos
capaces de al menos tomar un bocado de lo que se nos
ha dado.
Que este ao, 2016, sea la oportunidad para hacer
todo una vez mas!

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

This New Years Eve, at the turning of the year,
you may catch a glimpse of the old year, a cartoon
figure of a hunched old man with a sickle, Father
Time. Where else but in this column could you learn
that this is in fact a pope? December 31 was in the old
calendar the feast of St. Sylvester. Legend says that
Sylvester healed the Emperor Constantine of leprosy,
and presided at the liturgy of baptism for the grateful
emperor. In 314, he was chosen pope, and it fell to
him to organize the peacetime church, free at last
from persecution. He founded the Lateran Basilica,
the cathedral of the Diocese of Rome.
In northern Europe Sylvester Night is a time of
great parties with eating, dancing, and singing
recalling perhaps the joy of the church in the fresh air
of Sylvesters papacy. In Poland, there was great fear
as the year 1000 approached that an immense dragon
would devour the earth and set fire to the heavens.
The people prayed earnestly to St. Sylvester, trusting
that the saint would not permit such suffering on his
feast day. Theyve been celebrating ever since!
Many New Years customs have pagan roots, like
the British First Footer tradition. The idea is that the
first person setting foot into your house in the new
year determines the luck for the year ahead. The ideal
first footer was not a bit like old Pope Sylvester, but
rather a tall, dark-haired man carrying the right gift. A
handsome first footer meant the year ahead would be
pleasant, and if he carried bread or a shovel of coal
there would be food and warmth in the future. Who
will be your households first footer?

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
El primer domingo despus de la Navidad
celebramos la fiesta de la Sagrada Familia. Los
latinos somos un pueblo muy unido en familia. Para
nosotros es ms que un pequeo grupo compuesto de
padre, madre, hijos e hijas. La familia para nosotros
los latinos es un conjunto grande de abuelos, abuelas,
tos, tas, primos, primas, compadres, comadres,
suegros, suegras y otros ms adems del padre, la
madre y los hijos. Para los latinos una fiesta que
celebra la familia de Jess es la cosa ms natural del
mundo.
Extraamente esta fiesta no es muy antigua. En
realidad es una celebracin que data de comienzos de
la poca moderna en el siglo XVII. Antes de estas
fechas la familia de Jess casi siempre era entendida
como compuesta por Jess, Mara y Ana (la madre de
Mara). Se daba por hecho que Jos estaba por all.
Pero en el siglo XVII muchos perdieron sus padres
pues tenan que ir a las fbricas a trabajar. Por eso el
magisterio instituy la conmemoracin de la Sagrada
Familia de Jess, Mara y Jos para recordar a los
padres cristianos su deber ante sus hijos y su esposa.
