                       REFLECTION ON THE WORD OF GOD
                                             O Little Town of Bethlehem

There is a Christmas song that says of Bethlehem: "Yet in thy dark streets shineth the everlasting Light." Beth-
lehem is a suburb of Jerusalem. Its main tourist attraction in the time of Jesus was that it was the birthplace of
David. Though today it has many modern homes and buildings, you can still see that it is part of "the hill
country. . .of Judah." (Lk 1:39) It is not too far from En Kerem, where John the Baptist was born, and appar-
ently where today's Gospel takes place.
We see in the Gospel reading today how Elizabeth and her unborn child rejoiced at the news of Jesus' coming
birth. The story implies that Mary went to see Elizabeth as soon as the angel told her about Jesus. Maybe it
was easier to tell her cousin, who was also with child, than her fiancé. I would think that talking about it made
this miracle more real. I know that talking about my faith makes it more real to me.
Jesus is the "everlasting Light" mentioned in the song. That light shines today, not just in Bethlehem, but eve-
rywhere that his followers bring it. When we console someone who is mourning, that light shines. When we
offer to help someone in need, it shines brighter. When we forgive someone who hurt us, the light is burning.
When we offer to sponsor a candidate in the RCIA, the light grows. When we teach a child how to pray, it
shines even brighter.
Our dark streets need the everlasting Light today as much as they did 2000 years ago. Today we remember
how Mary and Elizabeth shared their faith in God. They did so much like we do today. Mary could not see her
unborn son yet, but helped Elizabeth to believe by her words. Jesus, who seems to be invisible today, is seen
in the shared faith of those who bring him into the world by their words and actions. Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

                                                              TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
                                                              Esta semana recordamos a los niños judíos que fueron
                                                              asesinados por orden del Rey Herodes en Belén. Esa tra-
                                                              gedia que ocurrió cuando el viejo y celoso rey se enteró
                                                              del nacimiento de un nuevo rey de los judíos. Él mandó a
                                                              matar a todo niño que tuviera menos de dos años. El llanto
                                                              de las familias que perdieron sus pobres inocentes se ha
                                                              convertido en risas en varios países latinoamericanos. El
                                                              28 de diciembre en muchas partes es conmemorado como
                                                              el día de los inocentes que viene siendo el April Fools de
                                                              Latinoamérica. En ese día se hacen bromas para burlarse
                                                              de los amigos. Si la broma funciona al pobre que fue enga-
                                                              ñado se le llama inocente .
                                                              La inocencia normalmente se atribuye a los niños o a los
                                                              ingenuos, pero en si la inocencia es una virtud cristiana, de
                                                              los que hemos sido perdonados por Cristo. Esta inocencia
                                                              no es ingenuidad mas bien es la candidez, simplicidad y
                                                              generosidad de una persona que conoce bien lo duro que
                                                              es la vida y aún así mantiene la esperanza.
