The only goal for the Magi who followed the star to Bethlehem was to find and worship the Christ with all their souls, bodies, and worldly goods. The trek of the wise men as a spiritual journey is captured well by T.S. Elliot’s poem “The Journey of the Magi”: A cold coming we had of…
Hoy, después de haber disfrutado de la alegría que embarga tanto a niños como a adultos, con la entrega de regalos navideños, fascinantes liturgias y el compartir familiar del nacimiento de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, pasamos a celebrar el santo nombre de Jesús. El nacimiento de un niño/a es algo que embarga a toda la familia,…
Names can tell us a lot about people’s characters and the roles they play in a story. One of the pleasures of reading literature is discovering the meaning of characters’ names. Authors will often give their characters names that tell us something important about who they are and about what they will do in the…
En este domingo, dentro de las fiestas de Navidad, la liturgia nos propone celebrar a la Sagrada Familia de Nazaret. Primeramente es preciso constatar que en el calendario litúrgico esta fiesta aparece única en su género. Las otras están destinadas a celebrar los misterios de Jesús o el recuerdo de hombres y mujeres que han…

Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams preached his Christmas sermon at Canterbury Cathedral on Dec. 25. The full text follows. 'This was to fulfill what the Lord had spoken through the prophet'. Phrases like this echo like a refrain through the nativity stories in the Gospels â and indeed the stories of Jesus' trial…

On this holy night, we celebrate the birth of Jesus, who, according to Luke, was born in Bethlehem, in a stable, because the town was full of out-of-town visitors who had come to pay their taxes. But if you look around, you will see that we’ve made much more of this celebration than the observance…
