The Nativity of the Lord

Traces of Grace
Dear Fellow Parishioners; Christmas while it can be an exhausting time, (some cant wait till the relatives leave!), a joyous time, a time of remembering that can be tinged with sadness or regret, it can also be just a time that slips by us. Or it might be a time for rethinking, of reimagining ones life and ones place in the world. It begins with the Incarnation, that moment where the Divine Spirit is infused into Human Flesh and the Son of Man is born. I am still struck by the incredible unlikeliness of this event. To imagine that the God of all creation, the God of recently discovered immense black holes and almost eternal expanses of space can in a moment of time become part of His creation and enter into our minute place of existence in this universe. Yet, that is what God chooses. The one who walked and still walks among us is loving us and showing us His way to unity with the Father. This is the story the Church continues to preach and teach. If you have been distant from this community of faith, yet found yourself here today, know that you are most welcome. Come back and hear again the story of the Good News. If you are visiting family and came to Mass today to keep them happy consider making a commitment to return to your own parish. If you are part of the fabric of this parish community, thank you for engaging your faith in this way and I hope we can support and deepen that faith in the coming year. As pastor, I wish to thank all those who encourage, enliven and invigorate the Spirit in our midst. To the staff, the priests, deacons and many volunteers, thank you for your loving service to the Lord and to the community of St. Edward the Confessor/San Felipe de Jesus. This coming year I wish us all opportunities to deepen our faith in the Lord who has reached out to lead us home to Him. Together in Christ;

Rasgos de Gracia
Queridos feligreses; Navidad, mientras que puede ser un tiempo agotador, (algunos no pueden esperar a que los familiares se vallan!), un tiempo de alegra, un tiempo para recordar que puede estar teido de tristeza o arrepentimiento, tambin puede ser slo un tiempo que se escurre en medio de nosotros. O podra ser un tiempo para recapacitar, de reimaginar la vida de uno y de su lugar en el mundo. Comienza con la Encarnacin, en ese momento donde se infunde el Espritu Divino en la Carne Humana y el Hijo del Hombre nace. Todava estoy sorprendido por lo genuino e increble de este evento. Imaginar que el Dios de toda la creacin, el Dios de los inmensos y recientemente descubiertos agujeros negros y de las casi eterna extensiones del espacio, puede en un momento del tiempo, llegar a formar parte de su creacin y entrar en el espacio temporal de la existencia de este universo. Pero as lo escogi Dios. El que camin y camina entre nosotros todava nos est amando y nos muestra su camino hacia la unidad con el Padre. Esta es la historia que la Iglesia contina anunciando y enseando. Si ustedes han sido distanciados de esta comunidad de fe, pero se encontraran aqu, sepan que son bienvenidos. Regresar y volver a escuchar la historia de la Buena Nueva. Si ustedes estn visitando a su familia y vinieron a la Eucarista de hoy con el fin de estar alegres consideren la posibilidad de un compromiso de regreso a su propia parroquia. Si ustedes hacen parte de esta comunidad parroquial, gracias por participar con su fe en este caminar y espero que podamos apoyar y profundizar la fe en el ao venidero. Como pastor, deseo agradecer a todas las personas que fomentan, animan y fortalecen el Espritu en medio de nosotros. Al personal, los sacerdotes, diconos y muchos voluntarios, muchas gracias por su servicio amoroso para con el Seor y para con la comunidad de San Eduardo el Confesor y San Felipe de Jess. Este ao que viene, les deseo a todos, la oportunidad de interiorizar en nuestra fe en el Seor que ha llegado para llevarnos a casa con l. Juntos en Cristo,

Fr. Steve Sallot Pastor

The Nativity of the Lord

Meditando la Palabra
El evangelio de san Lucas que leemos en la Misa de Noche Buena, el 24 de diciembre, nos presenta imgenes que ofrecen un claro contraste. El contraste ms importante es el que existe entre el poder y la impotencia. Por el lado del poder est Csar Augusto: l puede ordenar un censo de todo el mundo, que tena por finalidad mostrar su podero y recaudar impuestos para llevar adelante su imperio. En el otro lado, se encuentra no un poderoso palacio de Roma, sino Beln, la ciudad de David, y un pesebre; no la elegancia de vestiduras imperiales, sino pobres paales; no guardias de palacio, sino simples pastores; no el decreto de un mensajero del emperador, sino el ngel del Seor, que anuncia paz en la tierra a los hombres en quienes Dios se complace. No es Csar Augusto el que puede dar el autntico mensaje de paz! A l le preocupan el poder, los impuestos, la guerra, el mantenimiento de su condicin imperial. No puede haber una paz verdadera en nuestra historia si tratamos de alcanzarla por medio de gentes como Csar Augusto. Una paz duradera debe venir de lo alto, de un pesebre y de una cruz. Por otra parte, slo los que carecen de poder, simbolizados aqu por los pastores, pueden escuchar a los ngeles que proclaman el verdadero mensaje de paz. Para el mundo este mensaje es un absurdo y una locura Pero debemos recordar que esta noche celebramos no a Csar Augusto, sino al Nio de Mara y Jos envuelto en paales. El reinado de aquel hombre que se crea dios, Augusto, hace mucho tiempo que desapareci; el reinado de Dios hecho hombre, Jess, est aqu y vendr un da en su plenitud. Debemos preguntarnos si esa situacin ha cambiado hoy. No hay sitio ni aceptacin en nuestro mundo para aqul que Isaas llam una vez Consejero maravilloso, Dios fuerte, Prncipe de paz (Is 9, 5)? Seguimos esperando nuestra seguridad y paz de las ciudades de poder de Washington, Mosc o Beijing? Seguimos oyendo las proclamas de los poderosos de este mundo, y cerramos el odo al ejrcito celestial con su mensaje de verdadera paz? Estas preguntas deben resonar en nuestros corazones esta noche y durante el ao. Pidmosle al Seor, al participar en nuestra Eucarista de este hermoso da de Navidad, que haya siempre espacio en nuestro corazn para este mensaje de salvacin y de paz que l nos ofrece.

Meditating on the Word

The Gospel of Luke that we read Christmas Eve presents to us images with definite contrasts. The most important difference is between power and impotence. On one hand, we have Caesar Augustus, representing power; he can order a worldwide census to show his power and to collect taxes in order to retain his empire. On the other hand, there is Bethlehem, the city of David, and a manger; no elegant imperial garments but poor clothes; no palace guards but simple shepherds, no messenger with a decree from the emperor but an angel of the Lord, who announces Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests. Caesar Augustus is not the one that can give the authentic message of peace! He is more concerned about his power, taxes, war, and keeping his imperial title. There cannot be true peace in our human history if we attempt to reach it by means of people like him. A lasting peace must come from above, from a manger and the cross. As symbolized by the shepherds, only those who lack power are able to listen to the angels proclaim the true message of peace. For the world, this message is absurd and insane But we must remember that tonight we celebrate not Caesar Augustus, but the son of Mary and Joseph wrapped in swaddling clothes. The reign of Caesar Augustus, disappeared long ago; the reign of God made man, Jesus, is still here and will one day come to its completeness. We must ask ourselves if this situation has changed today. Is there space and acceptance in our world for the one that Isaiah once called Wonder-Counselor, God-Hero, Father of future ages, Prince of Peace (Isaiah 9: 5)? Do we continue to wait for our security and peace to come from cities of power like Washington, Moscow or Beijing? Do we continue listening to the proclamations of powerful people from this world and close our ears to the `celestial army' with its message of true peace? These questions must resonate tonight in our hearts and during the year. Let us ask our Lord, as we participate in the Eucharist of this beautiful day of Christmas, that there will always be a place in our heart for this message of salvation and peace that He offers to us.

The Nativity of the Lord

From the Office for Parish Our office is located on the Knight Hall side of the rectory . We can be reached by calling 496-6011 or on the web: www.stedward.com The holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph The feast of the Holy Family (usually celebrated the Sunday between Christmas and New Years but this year held on Dec. 30), celebrates the family unit and the Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. No matter what our age, we can find within the Holy Family love, hope and spiritual guidance useful and meaningful for our own family situation. By reflecting on the joys and hardships of Jesus, Mary, and Joseph we become encouraged that we, too, are paving the way to holiness within and through our own family. Jesus, Mary and Joseph, strengthen our family to love harder, forgive more often, and selflessly give the precious gift of time to each other. We ask your continued blessing, Amen. --Gloria Fetta.

Respect Life

THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO LIFE Children truly are the family's greatest treasure and most precious good. Consequently, everyone must be helped to become aware of the intrinsic evil of the crime of abortion. In attacking human life in its very first stages, it is also an aggression against society itself. Politicians and legislators, therefore , as servants of the common good, are duty bound to defend the fundamental right to life, the fruit of God's will. Pope Benedict XVI
