This is the time of year when almost everyone celebrates the joy of giving and sharing. And for us, giving is a way of life. Hoy es “Domingo de Gaudete” – en latín, Gaudete significa Regocijo. Esta es la época del año en la que casi todos celebran la alegría de dar y compartir. Y para nosotros, dar es una forma de vida. Ciertamente es importante dar a través de la mayordomía, o sea, el compartir nuestro tiempo, Certainly it’s important to give through stewardship, talento y tesoro. (Y por cierto, si todavía no han the sharing of our time, talent and treasure. (And by entregado su tarjeta de compromiso de la Corresponsabilidad, por favor háganlo lo antes the way, if you haven’t turned in your Stewardship commitment card, kindly do so as soon as possible!) posible!) Quisiera sugerir otras dos formas en las I would like to suggest two more ways you might que ustedes pueden considerar dar esta Navidad. consider giving this Christmas. 1. Qué tal si le ofrecen “su” banca de la iglesia -el lugar donde normalmente se sientan en Misa- a 1. What if you offered “your” pew, the place where un visitante y ustedes se sientan en otra parte? you normally sit at Mass to a visitor and sat Estarían incluso dispuestos a ofrecerle su elsewhere? If you are able-bodied, would you asiento a una persona mayor o a un enfermo en be willing to offer your seat to an elderly or la Misa de Nochebuena o la de Navidad, aunque infirm person and even stand if need be at the ustedes tuvieran que permanecer de pie? Mass you attend on Christmas Eve or 2. Si van a asistir a Misa de Nochebuena a las Christmas Day? 3PM y están en posibilidad de hacerlo, qué tal si 2. If you are attending the 3PM Mass on ceden su lugar de estacionamiento – manejando Christmas Eve and you are physically able, con suficiente tiempo hasta al Templo B’nai what if you offered the parking place you would Torah (15727 NE 4th St.) y después toman el otherwise use – by driving ahead of time to transporte que proporcionaremos para llegar a Temple B’nai Torah (15727 NE 4th St.) and Santa Luisa? then taking the shuttle we’ll be providing to St. Louise? Nuestro “tema principal” este año es la hospitalidad, y qué mejor manera de mostrar Our “main thing” this year is hospitality, and what better way to show hospitality than to offer hospitalidad que ofrecer a alguien un lugar para sentarse o para estacionar su auto? someone else a place to sit or to park? Algunas veces puede ser fácil caer en una forma de Sometimes it can be easy to fall into a privileged pensar privilegiada durante estas fiestas: “Yo estoy way of thinking during the holidays, that “I am here every Sunday and who are these people to take my aquí todos los domingos, quiénes son estas personas para tomar mi lugar?” Quizás podríamos spot?” Maybe we could think of the visitors who come as today’s Jesus, Mary and Joseph, who are pensar en esos visitantes como en Jesús, María y José de nuestros tiempos, que están buscando un looking for a place to stay for one night. Laying lugar para quedarse por una noche. Colocar abrigos coats over the pews to reserve seats well over an hour before Mass begins somehow falls short of the en las bancas de la iglesia para apartar lugares spirit of welcome that we hope to show at Christmas desde una hora antes de que empiece la Misa no representa el espíritu de bienvenida que esperamos even more than we do the rest of the year. mostrar en Navidad aún más que durante el resto del año.
