CRISTO: LUZ DEL MUNDO Se puede entender la Epifanía como una extensión de la Natividad del Señor

que celebramos el 25 de diciembre. En la Navidad celebramos la venida de Jesús como el rey y Mesías tan esperado por el pueblo judío, y en la Epifanía celebramos la revelación de Jesús como el Salvador y la Luz de las naciones; es decir, de judíos, gentiles y de todos los pueblos. La estrella brilla con tanto fulgor que atrae a los magos que vienen de países distantes para adorar a Jesús. No son judíos, y sin embargo se ven atraídos al que es la Luz del Mundo. La carta a los efesios revela que la Luz del Mundo era tanto para gentiles como para judíos, pues Cristo reúne a todos los pueblos en la luz de su amor. La lectura de Isaías también describe a diversos pueblos que vienen, pero esta vez les atrae la luz que emana del pueblo de Dios. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

CHRIST; LIGHT OF THE WORLD Epiphany can be understood as an extension of the Nativity of the Lord that we celebrate on December 25. While at Christmas we celebrate Jesus’ coming as the long-awaited king and Messiah of the Jewish people, on Epiphany we celebrate the revelation that Jesus is the Savior and Light of all nations—Jews, Gentiles, and all people. The star shines so brightly that it attracts magi who come from far distant countries to worship Jesus. They are not Jews, yet they are drawn to the Light of the World. The letter to the Ephesians reveals that the Light of the World was for the Gentiles as well as the Jews—Christ gathers all people into the light of his love. The reading from Isaiah also describes a gathering of diverse peoples, but this time it is to the light that emanates from the people of God. © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

Suplica del Arzobispo Primeramente, se les

agradece a todos quienes participaron en la suplica el año pasado ayudando al

Sr. Arzobispo. No solamente logramos la meta sino que

responsabilidad en servir al pueblo de Dios. ¡Ayudarle!

hombres jóvenes ayudándoles discernir si Dios les llama a una vocación religiosa y en particular como Misionero

Archbishop’s Appeal First of all, we want to

thank each and everyone who made a commitment to help the Archbishop

last year. As you can see, we not only met our goal but, we

surpassed it!

Now, let’s make plans for this year’s Appeal! In the next

weeks, we will have a chance to renew our commitment to assist Archbishop in his duty to serve the people of God. Let’s help him by renewing our pledge.

Come & See Program

This program welcomes young men who are

interested in discerning if God calls them to the

religious life: particularly to be an Missionary Oblate of Mary

Immaculate. A group of young men, lead by Fr. Richard Hall will be

with us next weekend joining us for Mass at 10am; let’s welcome them!

Let’s Prepare!

Miracles Can Happen? An Amish husband, wife and son

travel to the city on vacation. They visit a shopping mall and while the mother is shopping, the father and

son are standing in front of an elevator having no idea what it is.

As they watch, an elderly lady walks into the strange silver doors and the doors close. The father and son watch as the numbers go up, and then back down. When the doors open, a beautiful young

woman walks out. The father leans over and whispers to the son, "Son,

go get your mother!"
