Queridos hermanos y hermanas en Cristo, Al llegar la época de adviento a su fin, he reflexionado sobre ser servidora en esta época de dar. ¿Cuál es la mejor forma de servir? ¿Cómo puedo brindar un servicio que sea ejemplo para aquellos a los cuales sirvo en mis ministerios? Para los niños en nuestro programa de formación de fe, los invite a ayudar a los indigentes donándoles calcetines. Verán, en su vida llena de tantas dificultades, los indigentes no tienen el lujo de lavar su ropa y usar ropa limpia diariamente. Algo tan simple como los calcetines, son una prenda importante que necesitamos para proteger nuestros pies. Los protegen del frio, ampollas producidas por los zapatos y les ayudan a mantener sus pies secos. Para un indigente, tener calcetines limpios a diario, no sucede muy a menudo. Así, que los niños cumplieron con éxito. ¡Teníamos tantos calcetines para regalar! La segunda parte de este proyecto de servidor/servicio incluye a los candidatos de RICA. Por cuarto año consecutivo, los candidatos, el equipo y su servidora vamos al Armory y les llevamos un poco de espíritu navideño a los indigentes que buscan refugiarse del frio. ¡Esa noche todos experimentamos servir y ser servido! ¡La generosidad de nuestros candidatos fue sorprendente e increíble! Las personas en el Armory esa noche recibieron de todo, desde sombreros, guantes, bufandas, comidas sencillas y bebidas; hasta calcetines, ponchos para la lluvia y más. ¿Ha terminado la época de dar? ¡NO, aun no! En las lecturas de hoy, tal como en los pasajes del Profeta Isaías, somos llamados a servir. Somos llamados para hacer que todos conozcan a Dios. Somos llamados a alabar y servir a Dios y por medio de la gracia de Dios traemos la salvación a todos por medio de nuestro testimonio. Juan el Bautista, en el evangelio de hoy nos recuerda que siempre debemos profundizar en nuestro conocimiento de Jesús y hacer que otros lo conozcan. Durante el transcurso de nuestra vida, estamos aprendiendo quien es Jesucristo. Somos testimonios de Jesús al ser fieles en lo ordinario y al cumplir con la voluntad de Dios. Se demuestra por la forma en que vivimos nuestra vida cotidianamente. ¡Así que hoy, durante la misa, que puedan mejor comprender y experimentar a Jesús mientras contemplamos el Cordero de Dios!

Often when we sing our Litany of Saints, we include Martin Luther King, Jr. In fact, he is included in the glorious tapestry of the Communion of Saints at the Los Angeles Cathedral, Our Lady of the Angles. Only God, of course, can make a saint (and doesn’t the human have to cooperate?) and sometimes our official church process for recognizing saints lags a little behind the acclamations of the people. One of MLK’s gifts was that of improvisation, especially in his preaching. He was a very Christian and very gifted man, worthy of our recognition, today, his birthday. His incredible I have a dream… speech began as a carefully crafted written speech. Martin knew that the eyes of the world and 100,000 marchers in Washington DC would be on him and he wanted to express the passions of the civil rights movement. Midway through the speech, he looked at the sea of expectant faces and heard Mahalia Jackson (who had heard him preach) behind him whisper, “Tell them about the dream, Martin!” He left his notes and spoke from his heart and soul, guided by the Holy Spirit, just like when he preached. If you have not heard this speech, I highly recommend that you find it and hear it. Martin’s dream, so beautifully expressed, is Jesus’ dream and should be the dream of all of us. That each of God’s children will be seen “not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.” What a world this could be!
Interfaith Martin Luther King Prayer Service Monday, January 16th, the South County Interfaith Council hosts a Martin Luther King Day Prayer Service here at Saint Mary’s. Come to the church at 7:00pm to share this moment of faith and fellowship. Hospitality will follow the service.
