Reflection of the Week
“Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.” With those words
from St. Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, to our Blessed Mother Mary our Gospel on this Fourth and
final Sunday of Advent closes. It is appropriate that we are reminded of Mary’s stewardship just a few days
before she gives birth to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
In the U.S. Bishops Pastoral Letter on stewardship, Stewardship: A Disciple’s Response, The Bishops remind us that Mary is the
epitome of stewardship: “After Jesus, it is the Blessed Virgin Mary who by her example most perfectly teaches the meaning of
discipleship and stewardship in their fullest sense…she was called and gifted by God; she responded generously, creatively,
and prudently; she understood her divinely assigned role in terms of service and fidelity.”
As we complete our preparations for the coming of the Lord at Christmas, we need to consider Mary’s total trust in God and her
willingness to place her entire life at His service, and ours. If we can even be a fraction of the steward she was, we will be ready
for Christ’s coming and better prepared to be disciples and good stewards. In the midst of our joy and celebration at this holy
time, we, too, must bear in mind that we are called and chosen.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Many of our most treasured traditions link the liturgy of
the church with the hearth of the home. The food on the table
at certain feasts and fasts helps to extend the mystery into
everyday life. Tonight, for example, many families of Italian
heritage, especially those with links to the south of Italy, will
settle down to the “Feast of the Seven Fishes,” or La Vigilia.
It is a command performance for the whole family, as the
saying goes: Natale con I tuui, Pasqua conchi vuoi, or
“Christmas with your family, Easter with whomever you
wish.” Seven different fish, some say one for each day of
Mary and Joseph’s journey to Bethlehem, others say one for
each sacrament, or one for each day of creation, are served.
Eel and shrimp, lobster and crab, calamari, pasta with clam
sauce, flounder and hake all abound, but most especially
baccala, dried salted cod. Why? Many say that it is a way to
pay homage to the beasts of the stable who witnessed the
holy birth and relinquished their manger to make way for
God. Tonight, if someone asks you to “pass the shrimp,”
you’ll be able to shed a little light on a menu that is a
delicious treasure in our tradition!

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Esta semana recordamos a los niños judíos que fueron
asesinados por orden del Rey Herodes en Belén. Esa tragedia
que ocurrió cuando el viejo y celoso rey se enteró del
nacimiento de un nuevo rey de los judíos. Él mandó a matar a
todo niño que tuviera menos de dos años. El llanto de las
familias que perdieron sus pobres inocentes se ha convertido
en risas en varios países latinoamericanos. El 28 de diciembre
en muchas partes es conmemorado como el día de los
inocentes que viene siendo el April Fools Day de
Latinoamérica. En ese día se hacen bromas para burlarse de
los amigos. Si la broma funciona al pobre que fue engañado
se le llama “inocente”.
La inocencia normalmente se atribuye a los niños o a los
ingenuos, pero en si la inocencia es una virtud cristiana, de
los que hemos sido perdonados por Cristo. Esta inocencia no
es ingenuidad mas bien es la candidez, simplicidad y
generosidad de una persona que conoce bien lo duro que es la
vida y aún así mantiene la esperanza.
