TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE ¡Año nuevo, vida nueva! El día primero de enero, mien-tras muchos celebran las cábalas y cabañuelas de un año nuevo, los cristianos conmemoramos a quien dio a luz al autor de la vida. María, bajo el título de Madre de Dios, es como nosotros deseamos celebrar la esperanza de un ¡año nuevo, vida nueva!El Concilio de Éfeso en el año 431 declaró a María como la Theotokos; la que "carga a Dios". Este dogma tiene que ver más con el Hijo que con la madre y fue proclamado para afirmar que Jesucristo "desde toda la eternidad fue Dios". Continúa la doctrina y afirma "Así como toda madre humana, no es solamen-te madre del cuerpo humano sino de la persona, así Ma-ría dio a luz a una persona, Jesucristo, quien es Dios y hombre, entonces Ella es la Madre de Dios". ¡Ésta sí que es vida nueva! Dios nace como ser humano y el ser humano carga a Dios. Gracias a Dios, todo ser humano puede ser como María Theotokos y cargar a Dios en su corazón. ¡Feliz Año Nuevo! --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION There's no more unusual setting to celebrate today's Feast of the Holy Family than Barcelona, Spain and the towering unfinished sandcastle known officially as the Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Familia. In 1882, the plan was hatched to build a vast place of worship in rep-aration for the revolutionary and liberal leanings of the city. The modern artist Antoni Gaudi dedicated his life to the project, living in the building, attending Mass dai-ly, and giving up his personal wealth. When people pressed him to pick up the pace, he responded, "My cli-ent is not in a hurry." (Gaudi's cause for beatification is moving along, and he could be the first professional art-ist and architect to be beatified.) The Spanish Civil War, a disaster for the Catholic Church in which thousands of priests, brothers, and nuns were murdered, halted work in 1935. In the 1950s work began anew, speeded up by computers in the 1980s. Still, the final stage of construc-tion is not due to end until 2026. If the original methods had stayed in place, it would take several hundred more years to complete the plan. So far there are eight towers, with four to go. The highest steeple is three feet shorter than the nearest hill, since the architect didn't want his work to surpass God's artistry. The three faces of the basilica each have three doors, with the faces named Passion, Nativity, and Grace. The interior is crammed with geometric figures that almost seem to spin, crazy-quilt windows, spiral staircases, and jumbles of statues and figures. Although inspired by ancient Gothic cathe-drals, the style is called Expressionist, and very little is left unexpressed by the masonry. If you can't afford a visit, Sagrada Familia maintains a web site, and virtual visits are free. --Rev. James Field, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co.
NEW YEAR The object of a new year is not that we should have a new year, but rather that we should have a new soul. G. K. Chesterton
AÑO NUEVO
El objetivo de un año nuevo no es tener un nuevo año sino tener una nueva alma. G. K. Chesterton
