Renovar y Celebrar

El próximo fin de semana se tomará una segunda colecta durante todas las Misas para nuestra campaña, Renovar y Celebrar la base para el embellecimiento de nuestras iglesias y campos. Has sido testigo de lo valioso que han sido tus inver-siones con el rebarnizar de las bancas; el pulido de los pisos de terracota; el reempla-zos de las rejillas de aire y calefacción; actualización de las luces; reemplazo de la alfombra en el altar; restauración a las puertas de entrada; y ajuste fino al sistema de sonido— entre otros proyectos más pe-queños. Por el momento, hay $172,170.00 en nuestra cuenta. Nuestro próximo proyecto es la pavi-mentación del estacionamiento. Se estima que costará $ 250,000.00 para lograr esta tarea. Las donaciones que recibamos nos permitirá comenzar el trabajo en algún momento en el 2018 o comienzos del 2019. Su apoyo inquebrantable es muy apreciado. Mis bendiciones para el Año Nuevo, 2018.

Renovate & Celebrate

Next weekend a second collection will be taken during all the Masses for our Renovate & Celebrate grassroots cam-

paign for the beautification of our churches and grounds. You have witnessed how worthwhile your investments have been with the refinishing of the pews; polishing of the terracotta floors; replace-

ments of the heating and air vents; updating of the lights; replacement of the carpet on the altar; redoing of the entry doors; and fine tuning of the sound system—among other smaller projects. At the moment, there is $172,170.00 in our coffers. Our next project is the paving of the parking lot. It is estimated that it will cost $250,000.00 to accomplish this task. The donations we receive will enable us to begin the work sometime in 2018 or the beginning of 2019. Your un-wavering support is greatly appreciated. God’s blessings on you and your loved ones for the New Year, 2018.

Me preocupa cuando escucho a gente reli-giosa hablar con una certidumbre absoluta en nombre de Dios. Con el pasar de los años y el conocimiento de Dios me siento menos seguro

de lo que Dios piensa y desea. Para mi Dios es un Dios de sorpresas que tiene un sentido humor exquisito. Cuando Dios decidió hacerse uno con la humanidad en Jesús tomo al mundo de sorpresa. Su propio pueblo no lo reconoció. Los expertos religiosos no lo reconocieron mientras que los des-preciados de la sociedad si lo reconocieron: los pecadores conocidos, prostitutas y rechazados e invisibles de la socie-dad. Nació en un establo y los primeros en visitarlo son una revelación en sí mismo. En el evangelio de Lucas son pasto-res los primeros en visitarlo. Los pastores no eran bien vis-tos. Hoy día los romantizamos, pero en sus tiempos pastores eran vistos con desconfianza y sucios. Sin embargo, fue a ellos a quien se les confió la revelación. En el evangelio de Mateo la revelación se le confía a ex-tranjeros. Se cree que los magos eran astrólogos persas, hoy en día Irán. En el antiguo testamento Dios se vale de Persia para sacar adelante su plan de salvación. Ciro, rey de Persia, da término al exilio en Babilonia y permite al pueblo judío regresar y reconstruir su templo en Jerusalén. Ciro es men-cionado unas 23 veces en el antiguo testamento y otras más indirectamente (lea el libro de Esdras). Otra vez Dios utili-za a mensajeros persas para revelar su plan de salvación para el mundo en el nacimiento del niño Jesús. ¿Quién iba a ima-ginar tal estrategia? ¡El Dios de sorpresas sorprende al mun-do otra vez! Dios utiliza a pastores, gente despreciable y sucia para el mundo, al igual que extranjeros para revelarle a Israel y al mundo su plan de salvación. ¡Uno pensaría que ya para estos tiempos deberíamos de saber mejor cuando pretendemos hablar en nombre de Dios o pretender saber quién tiene acceso a Dios y quién no! Es un aire de frescura cuando el Papa Francisco habla no con pretensión absoluta, sino por medio del lente de la com-pasión y misericordia. El Papa Francisco parece dejar la puerta del misterio lo suficientemente abierta para ser sor-prendido e iluminado por Dios. ¡Esto es verdaderamente iluminante! Cuando pretendemos hablar con absoluta certi-dumbre en nombre de Dios tendemos a perder de vista los atributos más reveladores de Dios: su compasión y miseri-cordia. ¡Que nunca perdamos la capacidad de ser sorprendi-dos por Dios! ¡Que la puerta del misterio permanezca abier-ta para que Dios nos pueda sorprender e iluminar en los lu-gares menos pensados; por personas menos imaginables; y en los momentos menos concebidos. ¡Feliz día de la Epifa-nía!

Fr. Tony Diaz, CMF Párroco

I always worry when I hear religious people speak with absolute certainly in the name of God. The older I get and the more I learn about God the less sure I am of what God thinks and wants. To me he is the God of surprises; the God with a fascinating sense of humor. When God decided to take flesh in Jesus he took the world by surprise. His own peo-ple did not recognize him. The religious experts failed to recognize him while the least likely people seemed to rec-ognize him: the known sinners, prostitutes, those that counted for nothing in society. He was born in a stable and the first people that came to visit him are a revelation in themselves. In the gospel of Luke shepherds come to visit him. Shepherds were not highly regarded people. Today we romanticized them, but in their time they were seen as not trust worthy, dirty and smelly. Yet, it is to them that the first revelation is made. In the gospel of Matthew the revelation is entrusted to foreigners. It is believed that the magi were astrologers from Persia, what is now Iran. In the Old Testament we have God using Persia as part of God’s plan of salvation. Cyrus the Great, king of Persia, ends the Babylonian exile and allows the Jewish people to return to Israel to rebuild their temple in Jerusalem. Cyrus is mentioned about 23 times in the Old Testament and many other times indirect-ly (see the book of Ezra). Now messengers from Persia again are part of God’s plan to reveal the new born king to the world. Who would have thought of this? The God of surprises strikes again! God uses untrustworthy, dirty and smelly shepherds as well as foreigners to reveal to Israel and to the world his salvific plan. It would seem that we should know better by now not to pretend to know what God thinks and wants or who ought to have access to God and who does not! It is refreshing to often hear Pope Francis speak not with pretense of absolute certainty, but rather through the lens of mercy and compassion. He seems to leave the door of mystery open enough to be surprised and humored by God. This is truly refreshing! When we pretend to speak with absolute certainty in the name of God we seem to lose sight of the most revealing attributes of God: mercy and compassion. May we never lose the capacity to be surprised by God. May the door of mystery always re-main open so that we may find ourselves surprised and entertained by God in the least possible of places, by the least imaginable of people, and in the least conceivable moments. Happy feast of the Epiphany!

Noticias del programa de Formacion de Fe

Adopté un plan de tres puntos para la santidad en el Año Nuevo

Todos los Cristianos son llamados a la santidad. "Sean perfec-tos como su Padre celestial es perfecto" (Mateo 5:48). Hay tres herramientas en las que cada católico puede confiar para al-canzar la santidad. Oración diaria. Dios se encuentra con nosotros de una mane-ra muy real y presente cuando venimos a él en oración. Co-mience por la mañana y haga pequeñas oraciones durante el día. Misa semanal. La misa es un sacrificio y una comida. Recibi-mos el cuerpo y la sangre de Jesús como alimento real para nuestras almas. Él dijo: "Porque mi carne es comida de verdad, y mi sangre es verdadera bebida". El que come mi carne y be-be mi sangre permanece en mí, y yo en él "(Juan 6: 55-56). Es por eso que lo llamamos "Comunión". Confesión mensual. Jesús creó el Sacramento de la Penitencia y la Reconciliación (Confesión) porque sabía que nos desvia-ríamos. Él también sabía que queríamos regresar. La participa-ción frecuente en este Sacramento agudiza nuestro sentido del pecado, nos hace responsables de nuestros errores y nos da la gracia de seguir intentándolo por la santidad.

FAITH FORMATION CORNER

Adopt a three-point plan for holiness in the New Year

All Christians are called to holiness. “Be perfect as your heavenly Father is perfect” (Matthew 5:48) There are three tools on which every Catholic can rely to at-tain holiness. Daily Prayer. God meets us in a very real and present way when we come to him in prayer. Start in the morn-ing and say little prayers throughout the day. Weekly Mass. The Mass is a sacrifice and a meal. We receive Jesus’ body and blood as real food for our souls. He said, “For my flesh is food indeed, and my blood is drink indeed. He who eats my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him” (John 6:55-56). That’s why we call it, “Communion.” Monthly Confession. Jesus created the Sacrament of Penance and Reconciliation (Confession) because he knew we would stray. He also knew we would want to come back. Frequent participation in this Sacrament sharpens our sense of sin, holds us accountable for our errors, and gives us the grace to keep trying for holi-ness. ********************************************

DATES TO REMEMBER Parent Catechesis Classes - January 9th & 13th - English

January 11th & 13th Spanish Classes will be held in the Parish Center during regular

Students Get A Lesson on Anti-Bullying During BMX Show

Mission Elementary students enjoyed watching a BMX show after a successful candy sale this fall. They not only watched as the bikers displayed their riding talents and tricks, but they also received a strong anti-bullying message. The BMX show owner and riders talked to our students about respect for each other and the value of being a good friend, student and community member. Thank you to our Mission parish commu-nity for supporting our candy sale and helping our school share a message of love, kindness and tolerance.
