Living Our Faith
Today’s gospel story focuses on the time after the feast of Passover. The religious obligation had been fulfilled and the faithful were returning home to their daily lives. But what did that mean? Were they changed by the Passover? Did they take with them a new understanding and desire to be closer to God? Jesus’ extending his stay in Jerusalem helps us to understand that high holy days are a part of our journey to eternal life with him…not a detour from our daily lives. As we continue through this Christmas season, have we ensured that Jesus is still in our daily thoughts and actions? Do we still marvel at the gift of his life to save ours? Or have we let the hustle and bustle of gift returns and the inevitable post-holiday bills turn our thoughts away from the joy and promise of his birth?

Viviendo Nuestra Fe
El evangelio de hoy se enfoca en el tiempo después de la fiesta de la Pascua Judía. Los fieles habían cumplido con la obligación religiosa y ahora regresaban a sus casas y a sus vidas diarias. ¿Pero que significaba esto? ¿Habían sido cambiados por la Pascua? ¿Obtuvieron un nuevo entendimiento y un deseo mas profundo de acercase mas a Dios? Jesús se quedo mas días en Jerusalén para que entendamos que los días santos de obligación forman parte de la jornada hacia la vida eterna con El....no son intentados a ser un desvío de nuestras vidas diarias. En cuanto celebramos la temporada Navideña, ¿nos aseguramos de mantener a Jesús en nuestros pensamientos y nuestras acciones de cada día? ¿Aun maravillamos del regalo de Su vida para salvar la nuestra? ¿O hemos dejado que el ajetreo de regresar los regalos y los recibos inevitables de todas las compras Navideñas robe nuestra atención del gozo y la promesa de Su nacimiento?
