Bendición de Hogares
La Fiesta de la Epifanía 4 de Enero, 20015
La costumbre de bendecir los hogares empezó en la Media Edad. Hay una bendición anual hecha por la cabeza de la familia, junto con todos los miembros de la familia.
Uno de los padres con un gis (Tiza) bendecido, marca el interior o exterior de la puerta principal (o en el marco de la puerta) con las iniciales de los Magos ( los Tres Reyes) con una cruz entre cada letra. Se usan las iniciales de sus nombres en Latino. Antes de la primera inicial, escriba los dos primeros números del año, seguido por una cruz y después las iniciales C+M+B y otra cruz seguido por los dos últimos números del año. Así que para la próxima Feria de la Epifanía el 5 de Enero, marque: 20+C+M+B+15. Es también verdad que las letras C+M+B significa en Latino: "Christus mansionem benedicat" o "Que Cristo bendiga este hogar". En cualquier momento entre hoy y la Epifanía traiga un pedazo de gis (Tiza) a cualquiera de nuestros sacerdotes de la parroquia, nosotros con gusto bendeciremos el gis para que usted lo utilice en la bendición de sus hogares.
Blessing Of Homes The Feast of the Epiphany
January 4, 2015 The custom of blessing homes began in the Middle Ages. This is an annual blessing of the home by the Head of the House gathered with the whole family. A parent with blessed chalk, marks the inside or out-side of the main door (or on the doorframe) with the ini-tials of the Magi (Three Kings) with a cross between each. The initials of their names in Latin are used. Before the first initial write the first two digits of the year, fol-lowed by a cross and then the initials C+M+B and an-other cross followed by the last two digits of the year. Thus for this upcoming Feast of the Epiphany on Jan. 5th, mark: 20+C+M+B+15. It is also true that the letters C+M+B stand for the Latin: "Christus mansionem benedicat" or "May Christ bless this house". At any time between now and the Epiphany please bring a piece of chalk to any of our parish priests, we will be happy to bless it for you to use in blessing your own homes.

WHERE WE GOT THE BIBLE
IS IT TRUE THE CATHOLIC CHURCH CHAINED THE BIBLE? Yes, for the same reason banks chain pens. The earliest manuscripts of the Bible we have today date back to the 4th century. It was during this time the church began the laborious task of copying the sacred writings. Done primarily by monks, that work was vouched for by the Catholic Church. Monks copied the Bible onto
parchment (sheepskin), a more durable material than papyrus. Bible scholars estimate that it took approximately 427 sheep-skins to make one Bible, the equivalent of 10 years of wages at the time. -
Prayer for Migrants and Refugees
Mary Most Holy, you, together with St. Joseph and the Child Jesus, experienced the suffering of exile. You were forced to flee to Egypt to escape the persecution of Herod. Today we entrust the men, women and children who live as migrants and refugees to your maternal pro-tection. Grant us the grace to welcome them with Christian hospitality, so that that these brothers and sisters of ours may find acceptance and under-standing on their journey. Teach us to recognize your Son • in the migrant who labors to bring food to our tables • in the refugee seeking protection from persecution, war, and fam-
ine • in the woman and child who are victims of human trafficking • in the asylum seeker imprisoned for fleeing without documents May all those who are far from their place of birth find in the Church a home where no one is a stranger. We ask this in the name of your blessed Son, Jesus, our Lord. Amen.
Oración por los Emigrantes y Refugiados
María Santísima, tú, junto con san José y el niño Jesús, experimentaste el sufrimiento del exilio. Te viste obligada a huir a Egipto para escapar de la persecución de Herodes. Hoy confiamos a tu materna protección a los hombres, mujeres y niños que viven como emigrantes y refugiados. Concédenos la gracia de acogerlos con hospitalidad cristiana, para que estos hermanos y hermanas nuestros puedan encontrar aceptación y comprensión en su camino. Enséñanos a reconocer a tu Hijo • en el emigrante que labora para llevar el alimento a nuestras
mesas • en el refugiado que busca protección de la persecución, el hambre
y la guerra • en la mujer y el niño o niña que son víctimas del tráfico humano • en el que busca asilo y está preso por huir sin documentos Que todos aquellos que están lejos de su país natal encuentren en la Iglesia un hogar en la que nadie es extranjero. Pedimos esto en el nombre de tu bendito Hijo, Jesús, nuestro Señor. Amén.

Important Information for Catholics Regarding Healthcare Insurance & Covered California
The Catholic Church has long supported access to health care for all and insisted that good health care should respect and support the well-being of all persons, especially those who are the most vulnerable. The federal Affordable Care Act promises to expand cover-age to millions of uninsured and underinsured in our com-munities. However, we need to be aware that under State law, virtually all public and private health insurance policies offered in California, as well as MediCal, provide coverage for abor-tion, contraception, and sterilization. These procedures are immoral and threaten human life at its most vulnerable state. Though required in all state health plans, Catholics are strongly reminded they should not make use of these ser-vices. We, with your support, will continue our public ef-forts to eliminate abortion and all threats to human life and dignity. Under the Affordable Care Act, by February, 2015, all Cali-fornians are required to either obtain health insurance for themselves and their families or sign up for MediCal. If you already have health insurance through your employer, there is nothing more for you to do.
If your employer does not provide health insurance, Covered California can help you apply for MediCal or purchase health insurance, regardless of your age or any preexisting conditions. Depending on your income, this coverage may be free or subsidized by the government.
Immigrants may not be eligible for all services, but US citi-zen children are eligible. We will continue our public efforts to better provide coverage for all immigrants. To find out what services are available for you and your family, contact Covered California at www.coveredca.com or 800-300-1506 or 800-300-0213 (Spanish).
California law requires health insurers to cover abortion, contraception, and sterilization. Under federal law, each state is required to offer at least one insurance plan that does not contain coverage for elective abortion. Within the boundaries of the Archdiocese, there are purported to be two plans that meet the federal requirements. Both of those plans are offered by Anthem Blue Cross. These plans are:
Silver 70 EPO Multi-State Plan Gold 80 EPO Multi State Plan
So, while we encourage you to sign up for coverage, we once again clearly state that, although state exchange health plans may cover morally objectionable services; you ought never to make use of those particular services. Also, we acknowledge that the two plans listed above may well be too expensive for some families to afford. If that is the case then we encourage families to choose the plan that is best suited for their particular circumstances.
Información importante para católicos sobre el seguro de cuidado de salud y Covered California
La Iglesia Católica por mucho tiempo ha apoyado el acceso al cuidado de salud para todos y ha insistido que el buen cuidado de salud debe respetar y apoyar el bienestar de todas las perso-nas, especialmente el de los más vulnerables. La Ley de Cuidado de la Salud a Bajo Precio promete expandir cobertura a millones de personas sin seguro o con seguro insufi-ciente en nuestras comunidades. Sin embargo, necesitamos estar conscientes que bajo la ley es-tatal, virtualmente toda política de cuidado de salud pública y privada ofrecida en California, así como MediCal, provee co-bertura para aborto, medidas anticonceptivas y esterilización. Estos procedimientos son inmorales y amenazan la vida hu-mana en su estado más vulnerable. Aunque son requeridos en todos los planes de salud estatales, se recuerda fuertemente a los católicos que no deben nunca hacer uso de esos servicios. Nosotros, con su apoyo, continuaremos nuestros esfuerzos públicos para eliminar el aborto y toda amenaza a la vida y dig-nidad humana. • Bajo la Ley de Cuidado de la Salud a Bajo Precio, para fe-brero, 2015, todos los californianos deberán ya sea obtener un seguro de salud para ellos mismos y sus familias o inscribirse a MediCal. Si usted ya tiene seguro de salud a través de su em-pleador no tiene que hacer nada más.
• Si su empleador no ofrece seguro de salud, Covered Califor-nia puede ayudarle a aplicar para MediCal o a comprar un seguro de salud, sin importar su edad o cualquier condición preexistente. Dependiendo de su ingreso, esta cobertura puede ser gratuita o subsidiada por el gobierno.
• Los inmigrantes pueden no ser elegibles para todos los servi-cios, pero sí son elegibles los hijos de estos que sean ciudada-nos estadounidenses. Nosotros continuaremos nuestros esfuer-zos públicos para proveer una mejor cobertura para todos los inmigrantes. Para encontrar qué servicios están disponibles para usted y su familia, contacte Covered California en www.coveredca.com, o al 800-300-1506 y 800-300-0213 (español).
• La ley de California requiere que las compañías aseguradoras cubran aborto, medidas anticonceptivas y esterilización. Bajo la ley federal, se requiere que cada estado ofrezca al menos un plan de seguro que no incluya cobertura de aborto electivo. Dentro de los límites de la Arquidiócesis, se pretende que exis-tan dos planes que cumplen con los requisitos federales. Ambos planes son ofrecidos por Anthem Blue Cross. Estos planes son:
◦ Plan Multi-Estatal EPO Plata 70 (Silver 70 EPO Multi-State Plan) ◦ Plan Multi-Estatal EPO Oro 80 (Gold 80 EPO Multi State Plan)
Así que, mientras le animamos a inscribirse para cobertura, nuevamente aclaramos que, aunque los planes de salud de inter-cambio estatal puedan cubrir servicios moralmente cuestion-ables, usted no debe nunca hacer uso de esos servicios en par-ticular. Además, reconocemos que los dos planes listados arriba pueden ser muy costosos para algunas familias. Si ese es el caso, entonces animamos a las familias a escoger el plan que mejor se ajuste a sus propias circunstancias.

PARTNERS IN THE PROMISE As a society, during these days we can be in some-thing of a “postpartum” depression. Our celebrations of Christmas and the New Year are over, and after today many of us will put away the decorations and the last visi-ble remnants of the celebrations of the past weeks. The apostle Paul today uses the expression “partners in the promise.” This is an uplifting phrase for us to reflect upon, and to think of as our own calling in these days fol-lowing the birth of the Lord. What is this promise? We can find it in the gifts the magi bring: it is a promise of being a royal priesthood (gold), a holy nation (frankincense), a people set apart for self-giving (myrrh). We find more of the promise in Isaiah—a light shines upon us! In the psalm we know a promise of a world of flowering justice, profound peace, the poor rescued, pity for the lowly and the poor. This is the promise; and one of the best ways for us to lift ourselves out of any possible low spirits we may be suffering is to live out our partner-ship in this promise each and every day.

PARTICIPANTES EN LA PROMESA
Las celebraciones de Navidad y Año Nuevo se han terminado, y después de hoy Día de los Reyes Magos, muchos de nosotros guardaremos las decoraciones y los últimos vestigios de las celebraciones de las semanas pasadas. El apóstol Pablo usa la expresión “participantes de la promesa”. Esta es una frase digna de reflexionar, y de pensar que es nuestro llamado en estos días después del nacimiento del Señor. ¿Cuál es esta promesa? Podemos encontrarla en los regalos que traen los magos: la promesa de ser un sacerdocio real (oro), una nación santa (incienso), un pueblo escogido para dar de sí (mirra). Encontramos otro aspecto de la promesa en Isaías ‑¡una luz que nos alumbra! En el salmo encontramos la promesa de un mundo en donde florece la justicia, la paz profunda, los pobres rescatados, piedad para los humildes y los pobres. Esta es la promesa; y una de las mejores maneras de continuar el espíritu de generosidad navideña es vivir día a día nuestra parte como participantes en esta promesa. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Consejos de Seguridad al ir de Compras a Centros Comerciales
Es fácil que los niños se distraigan con todos los sonidos, las vistas y olores durante la temporada navideña. Es especialmente importante vigilar a sus hijos cuando los
lleven a los centros comerciales durante la Navidad. Si los ni-ños se separan de usted, enséñeles a buscar una "persona segura" que les pueda ayudar. Por ejemplo, una mamá con ni-ños o la persona detrás de la caja registradora puede ayudar a un niño que esté perdido. Evite decirle a los niños que vayan con el "gerente". Para un niño, cualquier adulto con un traje, que parece importante, puede verse como el gerente. Los niños deben ser advertidos de no salir del centro comercial o tienda hacia el estacionamiento en busca de usted. Hágales saber a sus hijos que usted nunca saldría afuera del centro comercial o los dejaría hasta que estén reunidos. No importa lo que otras personas les digan.

Shopping mall safety tips It’s easy for kids to get sidetracked with all the sights, sounds, and smells surrounding us at holiday time. It is especially important to monitor your children when tak-ing them through the mall during the Christmas season. If children become separated from you, teach them to
look for a “safe stranger” who can help them. For example, a mom with kids or the cash register person can help a child who is lost. Avoid telling children to go to the “manager.” Any adult in a suit, who looks important, can look like the manager to a child. Children must be told never to leave the mall or store to go looking for you in the parking lot. Let them know that you would never go outside or leave until you are reunited -- no matter what anyone else tells them.
