ENGLISH Gospel for next Sunday
January 17, 2021
Jn 1:35-42 John was standing with two of his disciples, and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said, “Behold, the Lamb of God.” The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus. Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them, “What are you looking for?” They said to him, “Rabbi” — which translated means Teacher —, “where are you staying?” He said to them, “Come, and you will see.” So they went and saw where Jesus was staying, and they stayed with him that day. It was about four in the afternoon. Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter, was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus. He first found his own brother Simon and told him, “We have found the Messiah” — which is translated Christ —. Then he brought him to Jesus. Jesus looked at him and said, “You are Simon the son of John; you will be called Cephas” — which is translated Peter. The Gospel of the Lord.
Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

SACRAMENT OF BAPTISM REQUIREMENTS
- Filled out registration form. - Copy of child’s birth certificate. - Parents and Godparents attend the Pre-baptismal class the third Thursday of each month.
REQUIREMENTS TO BE A SPONSOR - One, preferably two sponsors of the opposite sex. 18 years of age and practicing the Catholic faith. Have received the sacraments of baptism, communion & confirmation. - If married, must be by the Catholic Church (civil marriage only - not accepted). Bring a copy of the certificate of these sacraments.
BAPTISM CELEBRATION Baptisms take place on the last Sunday of the
month at 12:30PM NOTE: All papers must be submitted to the parish office at least two (2) weeks before the celebration of the Baptism.
The Anointing The Feast of the Baptism of the Lord (Cycle B) The Liturgy last week revealed the mystery of God's plan - that in Jesus all peoples, symbolized by the Magi, have been made "co-heirs" to the blessings promised Israel. This week, we're shown how we claim our inheritance. Jesus doesn't submit to John's baptism as a sinner in need of purification. He humbles Himself to pass through Jordan's waters in order to lead a new "exodus" - opening up the promised land of heaven so that all peoples can hear the words pronounced over Jesus today, words once reserved only for Israel and its king: that each of us is a beloved son or daughter of God (see Genesis 22:2; Exodus 4:22; Psalm 2:7). Jesus is the chosen servant Isaiah prophesies in today's First Reading, anointed with the Spirit to make things right and just on earth. God puts His Spirit upon Jesus to make Him "a covenant of the people," the liberator of the captives, the light to the nations. Jesus, today's Second Reading tells us, is the One long expected in Israel, "anointed...with the Holy Spirit and power." The word Messiah means "one anointed" with God's Spirit. King David was "the anointed of the God of Ja-cob" (see 2 Samuel 23:1-17; Psalm 18:51; 132:10,17). The prophets taught Israel to await a royal offshoot of David, upon whom the Spirit would rest (see Isaiah 11:1-2; Daniel 9:25). That's why the crowds are so anxious at the start of today's Gospel. But it isn't John they're looking for. God confirms with His own voice what the Angel ear-lier told Mary - Jesus is the Son of the Most High, come to claim the throne of David forever (see Luke 1:32-33). In the Baptism that He brings, the voice of God will hover over the waters as fiery flame, as we sing in today's Psalm. He has sanctified the waters, made them a passage-way to healing and freedom - a fountain of new birth and everlasting life.

Evangelio para el próximo Domingo 17 de Enero
Jn 1, 35-42 En aquel tiempo, estaba Juan el Bautista con dos de sus discípulos, y fijando los ojos en Jesús, que pasaba, dijo: “Éste es el Cordero de Dios”. Los dos discípulos, al oír estas palabras, siguieron a Jesús. Él se volvió hacia ellos, y viendo que lo seguían, les preguntó: “¿Qué buscan?” Ellos le contestaron: “¿Dónde vives, Rabí?” (Rabí significa ‘maestro’). Él les dijo: “Vengan a ver”. Fueron, pues, vieron dónde vivía y se quedaron con él ese día. Eran como las cuatro de la tarde. Andrés, her-mano de Simón Pedro, era uno de los dos que oyeron lo que Juan el Bautista decía y siguieron a Jesús. El primero a quien encontró Andrés, fue a su hermano Simón, y le dijo: “Hemos encontrado al Mesías” (que quiere decir ‘el Ungido’). Lo llevó a donde estaba Je-sús y éste, fijando en él la mirada, le dijo: “Tú eres Si-món, hijo de Juan. Tú te llamarás Kefás” (que significa Pedro, es decir ‘roca’). Palabra del Señor.
Gloria a ti, Señor Jesús

REQUISITOS PARA EL SACRAMENTO DE BAUTISMO
- Rellenar la registración - Copia del certificado de nacimiento del niño/a - Padres y Padrinos asistan a la clase de Pre-bautismal el tercer Jueves de cada mes. REQUISITOS PARA LOS PADRINOS - Aceptamos uno, preferiblemente, dos de sexo diferente. mayor de 18 años de edad, practicante de su fe Católica - Tener todos los Sacramentos iniciales (Bautismo, comunión y confirmación) y si está casado debe ser por la Iglesia Católica. Traer copia del certificado de estos sacramentos. CELEBRACION DEL BAUTISMO El último domingo del mes a las 12:30PM. NOTA: Todos los papeles deben ser sometido en la oficina parroquial mínimo dos (2) semanas antes de la celebración del Bautizo.
En el Evangelio de Mateo, se nos presenta como fue el Bautismo del Señor. Jesús como un hombre más de su tiempo se acerca a Juan el Bautista para que lo Bautice. Aunque Juan se negara a Bautizar a Jesús, acepta. Y es aquí la “segunda Epifanía”, y espero que se me entienda eso de “segunda epifanía” es Jesús en este momento, al bautizarse, cuando se muestra a todas las personas. Al salir del agua, la Trinidad se muestra tal cual es: Padre, Hijo y Espíritu Santo. Se manifiesta no una Trinidad misteriosa, lejana, inalcanzable, sino que se acerca a todos a través del Bautismo. Desde que Jesús se Bautiza, el sentido anterior con el que Juan bautizaba en el Jordán, era la penitencia por los pecados, pero Jesús cambia el sentido. Jesús al Bautizarse, al abrirse el cielo y decir el Padre: “Este es mi hijo amado” y enviar el Espíritu Santo, se actualiza cada vez que nosotros nos bautizamos: Somos hijos predilectos y amados de Dios, somos sellados con el Espíritu Santo. Que María, madre de Dios y madre nuestra, interceda por cada uno de nosotros para que este nuevo año nos ayude a que demos testimonio coherente de Jesús, de su Evangelio. Que sepamos perdonar y amar. Que no sólo seamos “buenas personas”, sino, que se nos conozca por algo más, y que este algo más hable del Evangelio. Que así sea. Fray José Borja. Fuente: https://www.revistaecclesia.com

Đó là Lời Chúa. CĐ: Lạy Chúa Kitô, ngợi khen Chúa.
Xin Cho Con Được Khiêm Tốn Lạy Chúa Giêsu,
sám hối không phải là điều dễ dàng, bởi lẽ chúng con không đủ khiêm tốn để nhận mình lầm lỗi.
Chúng con ngỡ ngàng khi thấy Chúa là Ðấng vô tội mà lại đứng chung với các tội nhân, chờ Gioan ban phép rửa.
Chúa đã muốn nên bạn đồng hành với phận người mỏng dòn yếu đuối chúng con.
Xin cho chúng con biết thường xuyên điều chỉnh lối nghĩ và lối sống của mình, tỉnh táo để khỏi rơi vào ảo tưởng, thành thật để khỏi tự dối mình.
Ước gì Chúa ban cho chúng con ơn hoán cải, dám đi đến những hành động cụ thể, và chấp nhận những cắt tỉa đớn đau.
Nhưng xin đừng quên ban cho chúng con niềm vui của Giakêu, hạnh phúc vì được tự do và được yêu mến. Amen.
