Acto de Contrición Dios mío, me arrepiento de todo corazón de todos mis pecados y los aborrezco, porque al pecar, no sólo merezco las penas establecidas por ti justamente, sino principalmente porque te ofendí, a ti sumo Bien y digno de amor por encima de todas las cosas. Por eso propongo firmemente, con la ayuda de tu gracia, no pecar más en adelante y huir de toda ocasión de pecado. Amen.
Act of Contrition
O my God, I am heartily sorry for having offended you, and I
detest all my sins because of your just punishments, but
most of all because they offend you, my God, who are all
good and deserving of all my love. I firmly resolve with the
help of your grace to sin no more and to avoid the near
occasion of sin. Amen.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
Monday of this week is Christmas Day in Russia and in much of the Orthodox world. This curious difference in schedule has a lot to do with how calendars have been developed and changed over the years. In the year 45 B.C. Julius Ceasar gave the empire his Julian Calendar, with the winter solstice on January 6. This put an end to a system in which officials called pontiffs were able to tweak the calendar by adding extra days in as needed. He invented two new months at that time, December and January; and in order to correct the mess the pontiffs had made, forced a year of 445 days on the empire in what he named The Last Year of Confusion. The new months varied in number of days according to a complex schedule, but the calendar was still off by nearly twelve minutes a year, and lost a full day every 130 years. Pope Gregory XIII reformed the calendar in 1583, but not everyone appreciated his efforts. England held out for two hundred years. The year 1700 was a leap year in England, but not in France; they were eleven days apart! George Washington was really born on February 11; when the Gregorian calendar was finally adopted in the English colonies shortly before the Revolution, he had to move his birthday to February 22. Now the calendars are thirteen days apart, which accounts for Russia s Julian calendar Christmas. And Caesar thought he had brought confusion to an end!
