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. STEWARDS OF GOD’S GRACE. Saint Paul speaks of the “stewardship of God’s grace” to which he was called. Like Saint Paul, each of us is to be a steward of God’s grace. A steward is one who is entrusted with something that belongs to another. The steward bears responsibility for what is entrusted to him or her. Saint Paul understands that his encounter with the Lord and his faith in Jesus Christ carry with them a sacred responsibility, to bring the news of salvation to all. We too have been blessed with much, including the gift of faith, and are called to be good stewards of all with which we have been entrusted. We do this by nurturing a faithful and faith-filled heart, responding to God’s grace through the attitudes and actions that make up our daily lives. We do this as well by sharing our faith and the impact of faith with others, so that they may be drawn to our Lord. This is a sacred responsibility, a blessing, a privilege. BEARING GIFTS. The magi brought gifts to the baby Jesus. What gifts do you bring to the Lord? You might have the gift of patience or understanding and bring this gift in your interactions with others. You might have a talent for bringing new ideas and creative insights into situations at home, work, parish, or your city. You might have a gift for helping people to work together for a great cause or purpose. All of these gifts have been given to you by God, to be used for God’s purposes, for God’s greater glory. All of these are glimpses of God’s grace, and like Saint Paul, you are called to be a good steward of them, as a sign of Christ’s life within you. You bring your gifts to the Lord by using them well, sharing them generously and responsibly in caring for others and for all of creation. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

S S SAINT ELIZABETH ANN SETON

(1774-1821) January 4

Though her liturgical designation is “Religious,” Elizabeth Seton, her feast-day prayer reminds us, was also wife, mother, educator, foundress.

Born into a wealthy Episcopalian family, Elizabeth married William Seton, whose untimely death in Italy where the young family sought healing for William’s tuberculosis, left her, at twenty-nine, a widow with five children. Inspired by the faith and charity of the Italian family with whom they stayed, Elizabeth embraced Catholicism despite her family’s disowning her and ceasing financial support. This woman of many firsts (and several vocations!) opened the first free Catholic school, beginning the American Catholic educational system, and founded the first American religious community for women, the Sisters of Charity. The tuberculosis that claimed her husband took also her oldest and youngest daughters and, finally, at just forty-seven, Elizabeth herself. Another first: in 1975 she was canonized the first native-born American saint. Once asked to summarize her spirituality, she replied: “Faith lifts the staggering soul on one side, hope supports it on the other, experience says it must be, and love says let it be!” —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co

They opened their treasures and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.

— Matthew 2:11b

T ’ R First Reading — Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem! The L shines upon you and the glory of the Lord appears over you (Isaiah 60:1-6). Psalm — Lord, every nation on earth will adore you (Psalm 72). Second Reading — The mystery has been made known that the Gentiles are coheirs, copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel (Ephesians 3:2-3a, 5-6). Gospel — Magi from the east arrived, saying, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews?” (Matthew 2:1-12).

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. CORRESPONSABLES DE LA GRACIA DE DIOS. San Pablo habla de la “corresponsabilidad de la gracia de Dios” a la cual él fue llamado. Como san Pablo, cada uno de nosotros debe ser un corresponsable de la gracia de Dios. Una persona corresponsable es aquella a la que se le confía con algo que le pertenece a otra persona. La persona corresponsable asume la responsabilidad por aquello que se le confía. San Pablo entiende que su encuentro con el Señor y su fe en Jesucristo conllevan una responsabilidad sagrada, para llevar la Buena Nueva de la salvación a todas las personas. Nosotros también fuimos bendecidos con mucho, incluyendo el don de la fe, y estamos llamados a ser buenos corresponsables de todo aquello que se nos fue confiado. Lo hacemos al alimentar un corazón fiel y con fe, respondiendo a la gracia de Dios por medio de las actitudes y acciones que hay en nuestra vida diaria. También lo hacemos al compartir nuestra fe y el impacto de la fe con los demás, para que ellos puedan acercarse a nuestros Señor. Esta es una responsabilidad sagrada, una bendición y un privilegio. TRAYENDO REGALOS. Los magos llevaron regalos al niño Dios. ¿Qué regalos llevas tú al Señor? Quizá tienes el don de la paciencia o comprensión y llevar este don en la forma como te relacionas con los demás. Quizá tienes un talento para ofrecer ideas nuevas e intuiciones creativas para tu hogar, trabajo, parroquia o tu ciudad. Quizá tienes un don para ayudar a las personas a que trabajan juntas por una causa o propósito importantes. Todos estos dones te fueron entregados por Dios para usarse para los propósitos de Dios, para su mayor gloria. Todos estos son destellos de la gracia de Dios y, como san Pablo, tú estás llamado para ser un buen corresponsable con ellos, como un signo de la vida de Cristo dentro de ti. Tú llevas tus talentos al Señor al darle buenos usos, compartiéndolos generosa y responsablemente cuidando de los demás y a toda la creación. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

(1774-1821) 4 de enero

Elizabeth nació en una familia anglicana donde aprendió a amar a Dios y a la Sagrada Escritura. Contrajo matrimonio a los 19 años

con William Seton y ambos engendraron cinco hijos. Debido a la economía y la salud de su marido, emigró a Italia y posteriormente sufrió la muerte de su esposo. Gracias al testimonio y ayuda de una familia católica, expresó su deseo de hacerse católica y, finalmente, en 1805 profesó la plena comunión con la Iglesia. Como hija de catedrático llegó a ser una mujer de amplísima educación e ingenio y fundó una escuela para educar a los niños y mantener a su familia. Unos años después, junto con otras tres compañeras fundaron otra escuela en Baltimore, naciendo así la primera comunidad religiosa de mujeres fundada en los Estados Unidos: Hermanas de la Caridad de San José. Gracias a su visión y al carisma de sus hermanas, crearon las escuelas parroquiales en los Estados Unidos, influenciando el crecimiento del catolicismo y por supuesto, la educación católica. Fue la primera mujer estadounidense en ser canonizada. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

By: Bishop Marc Trudeau Archdiocese of Los Angeles Aviso Importante - La Iglesia Católica de San Judas en Norwalk, California, NO está afiliada a la Iglesia Católica Romana.

Updates to St. Pius X Church Website. eCatholic, the new website provider assigned by the Archdiocese of Los Angeles, has completed building the draft site for St. Pius X Church. We are currently doing some changes to the old look and also adding new content. We will keep you posted as we progress on the development and hope to go live soon! Thank you for your patience as we continue our digital evangelization efforts.

Proper Dress for Worship. Let us show proper reverence for the Mass and the Blessed Sacrament by remembering to dress respectfully. Going to mass is a special occasion, not just any ordinary event. Dressing respectfully for Mass reminds us that we are about to encounter our Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ, and this is a special occasion.

THE LOOK OF LOVE

What does love look like? It has feet to go to the poor and needy.

It has eyes to see misery and want. It has ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of others.

—St. Augustine

¿S U ? ¿Qué es el tráfico sexual de niños? El tráfico sexual de

niños ocurre cuando un menor está involucrado en un acto sexual comercial, en el cual se intercambia sexo por dinero, comida, albergue o cualquier otra cosa de valor.

Los perpetradores de tráfico sexual por lo regular escogen niños, creyendo que su edad les permite ser manipulados y controlados más fácilmente. Este crimen está ocurriendo en todo tipo de comunidades alrededor de Estados Unidos, y los traficantes están obteniendo alarmantes ganancias mientras que las víctimas son objeto de abuso y de violencia. Una de las cosas más importantes que usted puede hacer para proteger a su hijo/hija es crear un ambiente en el que él o ella se sienta cómodo/a viéndolo a usted como un adulto confiable con quien puede platicar.

D Y K What is child sex trafficking? Child sex trafficking occurs when a minor is involved in a commercial sex act where sex is traded for money, food, shelter, drugs or anything else of value. Perpetrators of sex trafficking often target children believing their age makes them easier to manipulate and control. This crime is occurring in all types of communities throughout the U.S. and traffickers are making an alarming profit while victims endure abuse and violence. One of the most important things you can do to protect your child is to create an environment in which he or she feels comfortable talking with you as a trusted adult
