Laudetur Jesus Christus! Gelobt sei Jesus Christus! Sia lodato Gesù Cristo! Praised be Jesus Christ! This is the season of the Epiph-any, beginning to bring to a close the joyful celebration of the Nativity of the Lord. St. Leo the Great has some of the best

Christmas reflections written. Today, I present to you his Epiphany Sermon. May these words convince us all the more of the Incarnation and the great works that God has done for us! Have a blessed week ahead! "Dearly beloved brethren, rejoice in the Lord; again I say, rejoice. But a few days are past since the solemnity of Christ's Birth, and now the glorious light of His Manifesta-tion is breaking upon us. On that day the Virgin brought Him forth, and on this the world knew Him. The Word made Flesh was pleased to reveal Himself by degrees to those for whom He had come. When Jesus was born He was mani-fested indeed to the believing, but hidden from His enemies. Already indeed the heavens declared the glory of God, and their sound went out into all lands, when the Herald Angels appeared to tell to the shepherds the glad tidings of a Sav-iour's Birth; and now the guiding star leads the wise men to worship Him, that from the rising of the sun to the going down thereof, the Birth of the true King may be known abroad; that through those wise men the kingdoms of the east might learn the great truth, and the Roman empire remain no more in darkness. The very cruelty of Herod, when he strove to crush at

His birth this King Whom he alone feared, was made a blind means to carry out this dispensation of mercy. While the tyrant with horrid guilt sought to slay the little Child he did not know, amid an indiscriminate slaughter of innocents, his infamous act served to spread wider abroad the heaven-told news of the Birth of the Lord. Thus were these glad tidings loudly proclaimed, both by the novelty of their story, and the iniquity of their enemies. Then was the Saviour borne into Egypt, that nation, of a long time hardened in idolatry, might by the mysterious virtue which went out of Him, even when His presence was unknown, be prepared for the saving light so soon to dawn on them, and might receive the Truth as a wanderer even before they had banished falsehood. Dearly beloved brethren, we recognize in the wise men who came to worship Christ, the first-fruits of that dispensation to the Gentiles wherein we also are called and enlightened. Let us then keep this Feast with grateful hearts, in thanksgiving for our blessed hope, whereof it does com-memorate the dawn. From that worship paid to the new-born Christ is to be dated the entry of us Gentiles upon our heir-ship of God and co-heirship with Christ. Since that joyful day the Scriptures which testify of Christ have lain open for us as well as for the Jews. Yea, their blindness rejected that Truth, Which, since that day, has shed Its bright beams upon all nations. Let all observance, then, be paid to this most sacred day, whereon the Author of our salvation was made mani-fest, and as the wise men fell down and worshipped Him in the manger, so let us fall down and worship Him enthroned Almighty in heaven. As they also opened their treasures and presented unto Him mystic and symbolic gifts, so let us strive to open our hearts to Him, and offer Him from thence some worthy offering." - St. Leo the Great

Thank you to everyone who sub-mitted photos, we tried to use as many as we could, but over 200 were submitted for consideration!Parents' Holy Hour - Children's Play Group Join our Pray and Play group! This is a group of parents who meet Tuesdays from 9:30 until 11:30 in Father Felten Hall. Children get to play and parents take turns covering the Adoration hour from 10:00 a.m. until 11:00 a.m. in the church. This allows parents some quiet time alone in Adoration or the chance to take children into Adoration for a shorter time period. This is a good oppor-tunity to introduce Children to the idea of Adoration.

Talking in Church Please remember the Church is the House of God. It is important to remember that in Church, we are in His presence. Please try to maintain a prayerful spirit, also being respectful of others who come for a few moments of quiet prayer. There is much noise and talking in the world. The Church is our refuge into silence, to which Cardinal Sarah calls us. Please keep talking to a minimum; and talk to the Lord in the silence of your own heart.Sick Visits If you, or someone in your immediate family is plan-ning to have major surgery, or is hospitalized for any reason, please contact Bro. Brent at bstull@oldstmarys.org, if a visit from one of our Priests is desired. He and Fr.

The Epiphany of the Lord

OLD SAINT MARY'S PARISH JANUARY 07, 2018

Today the Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Epiph-any. "The Lord and ruler is coming; kingship is his, and government and power." With these words the Church proclaims that today's feast brings to a perfect fulfillment all the purposes of Advent. Epiphany, therefore, marks the liturgical zenith of the Advent-Christmas season.We, pray, on this Feast of the Epiphany, that all nations may walk in the light of Christ by enacting policies that protect human life, which is always a manifestation of God's glory.We are still in need of infant formula, any brand. Thanks to all who donate to the Pregnancy Center!
