Eternal God, whom the heavens cannot contain, you have

chosen as your tabernacle the womb of Mary, the Virgin of

Nazareth.!

Overshadow us with your power, form us as your

daughters and sons and knit us together as your holy

people according to your word.!

For you nothing is impossible and so we offer you our

prayer through our Lord Jesus Christ, who was, who is and

who is to come, your Son, who lives and reigns with you

in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God for ever and ever.!

“Moses built the house, yet did not complete it and went

away. Then God raised up the choir of prophet by his spirit,

and they built on the foundation of Moses, but could not

complete it and also went away. All of them, through the

spirit, say that the wound was insurable, and that none of

the creatures was able to heal it, except the Only begotten,

the very Mind of the father, and His very Image.”!

A Memory of Midnight Mass!

When I was eight or nine years old my parents, my brother and I began attending Christmas Midnight Mass. For me this was always something very special and a memorable departure from our usual Christmas practice. When I was even younger, my parents would put my brother and I to bed by 9pm or so on Christmas Eve, then they would invite their adult friends over for a tree!trimming and toy!assembling party that would last until well past midnight. Santa Clause would arrive following their party and well before my brother and I woke up.�

But Midnight Mass offered something on Christmas Eve which was very different, yet particularly warm, very welcoming and always uplifting. There was something very special about going out late at night in New York City with my family. There were Christmas lights everywhere; in apartment windows, on storefronts, even over street lamps. When there was snow on the ground at Midnight, the City was unusually quiet, creating an imaginary, almost magical, scene for a place like New York. When we arrived at Church, we were surrounded by the warmth of people and the warmth of images of our faith. The Church was always decorated beautifully from top to bottom. Even though many of my friends from school would also come to Midnight Mass, I had no desire to talk and play. At Midnight on Christmas Eve, the Church was more of a sacred space than at any other time of the year. The music was affirming. The songs celebrated shared traditions and accentuated the holiness and the joy of the Season. Prayer at Midnight Mass was rich and expressive in its images. My family always left Church rejoicing, filled in body and spirit.�

Christmas Midnight Mass has not changed in all the years of my life. New York has changed. The mood of the City has certainly changed. However, the sacredness and the beauty of a congregation coming together in prayer at Midnight to celebrate the Savior’s birth remains a memorable experience. At Midnight we believers create a Sacred Space which the outside world is unable to touch and in which we do what Christians have done continuously for 2000 years: We Rejoice in Our God!!

Merry Christmas�

LECTURA DEL EVANGELIO Lucas 1:26�38 El angel Gabriel saludó a María, diciéndole: “Alégrate, llena de gracia, el Señor está contigó”. María contestó: “Yo soy la esclava del Señor; cumplase en mí lo que me has dicho”. !

Dios eterno, a quien los cielos no pueden contener,

habéis elegido como su tabernáculo del vientre de

María, la Virgen de Nazaret.!

Eclipsarnos con su poder, nos formamos como sus

Una Memoria de la Misa de Medianoche!Cuando yo tenía ocho o nueve años de edad, mis padres, mi hermano y yo comenzamos a asistir a la misa de Medianoche de Navidad para mí siempre fue algo muy especial y una memorable salida desde nuestra práctica habitual de Navidad. Cuando yo era aún más joven, mis padres nos ponian a mi hermano y yo a la cama a las 9pm en la víspera de Navidad, entonces iban y invitaban a sus amigos adultos para poner el árbole y el montaje de juguete partido que duraría hasta bien pasada la medianoche. Santa Clause llegaría tras despues de la fiesta de adultos muy antes que mi hermano yo me despertara.!

Pero la Misa de Medianoche en la víspera de Navidad ofrecia algo que era muy diferente, sin embargo, particularmente cálida, muy acogedor y siempre edificantes. Hubo algo muy especial sobre salir de noche en la Ciudad de Nueva York con mi familia. Hay luces de Navidad en todas partes; el las ventanas de apartamento, en escaparates, incluso por encima de las farolas. Cuando hay nieve en el suelo a la medianoche, la ciudad fue inusualmente tranquilo, creando un imaginario, casi mágico, escena de un lugar como Nueva York. Cuando llegamos a la Iglesia, estábamos rodeados por la calidez de su gente y la calidez de las imágenes de nuestra fe. La Iglesia siempre estaba hermosamente decorado de arriba a abajo. Aunque muchos de mis amigos en la escuela también podrían venir a la misa de medianoche, yo no tenía ningún deseo de hablar y jugar. En la medianoche de la Víspera de Navidad, la Iglesia hera más que un espacio sagrado, que en cualquier otra época del año. La música estaba afirmando. Las canciones celebra las tradiciones compartidas y acentuado la santidad y la alegría de la temporada. La oración en la Misa de Medianoche era rico y expresivo en sus imágenes. Mi familia siempre salia de la Iglesia, llena de alegría en el cuerpo y espíritu.!

La Misa de Medianoche de Navidad no ha cambiado en todos los años de mi vida. Nueva York ha cambiado. El humor de la ciudad ha cambiado mucho. Sin embargo, la santidad y la belleza de una congregación reunidos en oración a Medianoche para celebrar el nacimiento del Salvador sigue siendo una experiencia memorable. A Medianoche los creyentes hemos de crear un espacio sagrado que el mundo exterior es incapaz de tocar y en el que hacemos lo que los Cristianos han hecho continuamente durante 2000 años: Nos regocijamos en nuestro Dios!!

Feliz Navidad!Fr. Gregory Chisholm, SJ!!

"Moisés construyó la casa, aún no se ha completado y se marchó.

Entonces Dios levantó el coro del profeta por su espíritu, y se

construyó sobre la base de Moisés, pero no pudo completar y

también se marchó. Todos ellos, a través del espíritu, dicen que la

herida fue asegurables, y que ninguna de las criaturas fue capaz de

sanar, excepto el Unigénito, la mente del Padre, y su propia

imagen." San Antonio de Egipto!
