Real Christmas presence: No shopping required

When it comes to Christmas presence this year, no shopping is required. Body and blood, soul and divinity, the presence of Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist remains the real gift of Christmas.

We celebrate the gift of the incarnation of the Word of God all year long in the Catholic Church. However, our turbulent economy and times, this year, are signaling a Christmas where presents will be fewer and peoples’ needs will be greater.

Even so, just like all the times before, there will be abundant Christmas presence for everyone.

Nuestro trabajo es ‘tener tiempo para Dios’

Nota del redactor: La columna siguiente se toma de la homilía del obispo del primer domingo del Adviento, noviembre. 30, 2008.

Ilustración del Libro del Evangelio abierto por encima de la cabeza del ObispoDecimos al Señor, al principio de este Adviento, “Ven Señor Jesús; ¡no tardes! Renueva tu poder en nosotros Señor y ven a salvarnos.

¡No tardes!” Y cuando lo pedimos en oración, creemos que será contestado. Pero, sabemos que la venida de Jesús al final de la historia, al final de este mundo como lo conocemos, puede no ser la semana próxima o el mes próximo. El regreso del Señor probablemente va a ser retrasado. . . por lo menos así lo pensamos. . .

We must work to end ‘slaughter of the innocents’

To the editor:

In our Christ the King Sunday Gospel, Jesus proclaims: “Amen I say to you. What you did NOT do for one of these least ones, you did NOT do for me.” And these will go off to eternal punishment.

Época de estar agradecido, examinar nuestra conciencia

Ilustración del Libro del Evangelio abierto por encima de la cabeza del ObispoEstimados amigos,

Me parece que el día de trabajo fue apenas ayer y aquí nos encontramos en Día de Acción de Gracias y el principio de la “época del día de la festividad.” En el primer lugar, estoy agradecido con todos ustedes en Acción de Gracias – ustedes que son mis hermanos y hermanas en la familia diocesana. Somos de hecho una familia, y los miembros de familia no siempre se llevan perfectamente. Pero, seguimos siendo una familia en Cristo, y ninguno de nosotros, ni yo mismo especialmente, debemos olvidar nunca eso. Así vivimos y seguimos hacia adelante juntos en gratitud, exactamente de la misma manera que cada familia lo hace y debe hacer.

Learning to be thankful is a life-long journey

Seeing with Jesus' Eyes by Fr. Donald Lange column logo

In his writing prime, Mark Twain reportedly earned five dollars for each word that he wrote in articles that were published.

Even without considering inflation, this is good pay. A friend once playfully sent him a letter with a five dollar bill enclosed. He requested that Mark Twain send him his favorite word.
