Gifts to God...Have You Given Yours?
Reflection of the Week
“One mightier than I is coming
after me. I am not worthy to stoop
and loosen the thongs of his
sandals.” Many of us may recall that
proclamation from St. John the Baptist. It
certainly reflects the humility expected from all of
us as stewards of the Lord.
Nevertheless, there is a deeper meaning in that
statement which has both implication and
applicability to us and our lives. At that time, the
time of John the Baptist and Jesus, one of the
basic teachings of Jewish rabbis was that a
teacher might demand almost anything of his
students and followers with one exception: that
was to remove the teacher’s sandals. John tells
us he is not worthy to do even that. This Advent
season asks us to evaluate how we relate to
God, and how prepared we are to serve Christ
as His disciple, His steward.
Are we worthy? That is the question we need to
be asking ourselves. And the truth is that none of
us are worthy of the sacrifice and salvation
provided us by the Lord. Jesus brings us an
immersion in the Holy Spirit which takes us
beyond this life and this understanding. Are we
ready? It is time to get ready. Saint Pope John
Paul II said, “The whole of our life must be an
‘advent,’ a vigilant awaiting of the final coming
of Christ.”

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Have you seen Antiques Roadshow on television?
People bring attic treasures to experts for appraisal and
possible cash. Catholic attics, or maybe Grandma’s wall,
often hold a “sick call crucifix.” It is a curiously bulky
crucifix hiding a sliding panel and a secret compartment.
Two tiny candles, a squeeze bottle of holy water, a stringy
purple mini‑stole, a tube of prayers, and some cotton balls
are all hidden inside. The cross folds up to form a mini‑altar
that can be propped up by a sick person’s bed. All that is
needed is a priest with the oil of the sick and Holy
Communion. Forty years ago, when these crosses enjoyed
great popularity, the sacrament of the sick was often an
encounter between priest and sick person alone, and often
only in a last crisis of illness.
Gradually, we are reclaiming the sacrament of anointing
from this minimal, hidden expression. It is celebrated more
richly and more often, even in the Sunday assembly, at every
stage of illness and across a wide range of human suffering.
The “sick call crucifix” is not a tradition, it is a curiosity
from another time, but it reminds us of true tradition: we are
a people who care for our sick, who accompany them in
faith, and who sustain them with an experience of Christ’s
presence.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Nuestras tradiciones son bellas y activas. Normalmente
cuando hablamos de Tradición y tradiciones nos entendemos
como los sujetos de ellas, pero hay que recordar que primero
las recibimos; si conocemos y participamos en nuestras
tradiciones, es porque alguien ya nos las enseñó. Teólogos
hispanos como Orlando Espín han convertido la palabra
tradición en un verbo. El proceso de enseñar y aprender
nuestras tradiciones que transmiten el Evangelio de generación
a generación lo llamamos “tradicionar”. Tradicionar es una
labor importante de la familia cristiana y, de forma muy
limitada, de los ministros y líderes de la Iglesia.
Nuestros hijos e hijas no van a recibir nuestras costumbres
y creencias en la escuela pública. No van a aprender a ser
buenos cristianos en las calles o centros comerciales.
Tradicionar cristianamente se hace en la casa, en el barrio y la
parroquia. El tradicionar a un nuevo cristiano o cristiana,
comienza con el Bautismo, más no termina ahí, es algo
continuo, algo que se da en todo momento. Hay que educar a
nuestros hijos e hijas en las tradiciones de nuestra fe y la
cultura cristiana. Por ejemplo, durante el Adviento es muy
bello tradicionar a tus hijos con Guadalupe, el pesebre, las
posadas y especialmente, amor al Niño Dios.

“When Elizabeth heard Mary’s greeting, the infant
leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the holy
Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, ‘Most blessed
are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your
womb.’”
Luke 1: 41-42 (NABRE © 2010 CCD. Used with permission.)
“Aunque no nos sintamos seguros sobre cómo consolar
a los que sufren, debemos acompañarlos mientras
sufren. El aborto espontáneo toca la vida de mucha
gente, sin embargo a menudo esta tragedia no recibe
mucha atención. […] Como miembros de una
comunidad de fe, consolemos a aquellos que sufren y
miremos juntos hacia un futuro en que las lágrimas
cesen y nuestras familias vuelvan a ser sanadas”
