Sunday Jan. 3, we celebrate the Feast of the Epiphany. The actual day is Jan. 6, which happens to be my birthday! This day is celebrated around the world as the day of the visitation of the Magi—a day when Jesus is revealed as our Savior.
What an incredible revelation to the Gentiles to find out that Our Divine Lord was born.On Monday, we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord, the day the Holy Spirit came down from heaven on the day of Jesus’ glorious
baptism. He was proclaimed the beloved Son of the Father. This was our Lord’s second manifestation or epiphany.These feasts conclude the Christmas Season, but let us work to keep the joy of the season in our hearts and in our lives.Amen? Amen!

Epiphany House BlessingThis Saturday and Sunday blessed chalk will be available at the doors for you to take home. The blessing of the home is a popular Epiphany custom. The gospel tells us that the magi found Christ “on entering the house.” The door to your home is a holy thresh-old. Using specially blessed chalk, many households inscribe above the door the first two numbers of the year + C + M + B then the last two numbers of the year. Tradition tells us that the letters stand for the names of the magi; Caspar, Melchior and Balthasar. The inscription also stands for the Latin phrase Christus Mansio-nem Benedicat, which means “May Christ, bless this dwelling.” It is appropriate to bless your door in January, as janua means “door” and the first month is the door to the New Year. Write above the entry way with the chalk: 20 + C + M + B + 20.

Catechesis (kat’i-ke’sis) n.
The Apostles’ CreedThe Apostles’ Creed is the epitome of Christian doctrine. In twelve articles, it contains the truths taught by the Apostles. It has existed essentially since the second century and was first referred to in the fourth century. The earliest text dates from the eighth century. Developed by early Church councils, it was adopted in its present form in the eleventh century. Since the early centuries of the Western Church, catechumens were required to learn and recite it before baptism.
Know your SaintsSt. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein (1891-1942))A brilliant philosopher who stopped believ-ing in God when she was 14, Edith Stein was so captivated by reading the autobiography of Teresa of Avila (October 15) that she began a
spiritual journey that led to her Baptism in 1922. Twelve years later she imitated Teresa by becoming a Carmelite, taking the name Teresa Benedicta of the Cross.
Born into a prominent Jewish family in Breslau (now Wroclaw, Poland), Edith abandoned Judaism in her teens. As a student at the University of Göttingen, she became fascinated by phenomenology, an approach to philosophy. Excelling as a protégé of Edmund Hus-serl, one of the leading phenomenologists, Edith earned a doctorate in philosophy in 1916. She continued as a university teacher until 1922 when she moved to a Dominican school in Speyer; her ap-pointment as lecturer at the Educational Institute of Munich ended under pressure from the Nazis.
After living in the Cologne Carmel (1934-38), she moved to the Carmelite monastery in Echt, Netherlands. The Nazis occu-pied that country in 1940. In retaliation for being denounced by the Dutch bishops, the Nazis arrested all Dutch Jews who had become Christians. Teresa Benedicta and her sister Rosa, also a Catholic, died in a gas chamber in Auschwitz on August 9, 1942.Saint John Paul II beatified Teresa Benedicta in 1987 and canon-ized her 12 years later.

Ruah Woods Press• Mondays starting January 4 from 7:00 PM - 8:30 PM at St.
Cecilia Parish (in the church)• Material Cost: $25
Presented by Michael Grasinski, this class will take you on a journey into the life of the beloved Pope, St. John Paul II and his series of Wednesday audiences known as the The-ology of the Body.
Throughout this study you will be immersed in scripture as well as the key ideas, terms, and overall framework that

Worship Christmas Event. Thank you to all of those that helped set up the Christmas decorations this year. We had a nice turnout of young adults to help get the work done. I’m grateful that they are willing to lend a hand when we need it! The entertainment was a
wonderful addition and ending the night with Silent Night sing along was the perfect touch to a lovely night.

Epiphany means manifestation. What the Church celebrates today is the manifestation of our Lord to the whole world; after being made known to the shepherds of Bethlehem He is revealed to the Magi who have come from the East to adore Him. Christian tradition has ever seen in the Magi the first fruits of the Gentiles; they lead in their wake all the peoples of the earth, and thus the Epiphany is an affirmation of universal salvation. St. Leo brings out this point
