... “Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity!” ... A ‘Happy and Prosperous New Year’ to all! Our slice of eternity! Take it on! ... Today (4), is the feast of the Epiphany of the Lord, where ‘wise ones’, from near and far, lay their treasures before Christ, and return home by another way! Let’s go! Wise ones still seek him! ... Next Sunday (11), we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord and the beginning of Christ’s public life, at the age of 30. It marks the end of the liturgical Christmas season. ... All ‘Lost and Found’ items handed into our Par-ish Office over the months are on display in the Of-fice Conference Room. If you have ‘lost’ anything in church or surrounds, please drop-by the Parish Office after Mass today (4) or this coming Sunday (11), and see if it’s there! There’s lots of stuff! ... Our K - 6 Religious Ed classes and Junior High ‘Faithways’ resume this Monday (5)! ... Enjoy the Pancake Breakfast in the Hall this Sunday (4) morning, prepared by our youth, in sup-port of their great ‘Build a House for a needy family in Tijuana’ project. ... Did you get your 2015 Church Calendar yet? There may still be some available in the Parish Of-fice. Keep up to date! ... Liz Beiner and our RCIA team welcome adults who are interested in becoming Catholic. Join them this Tuesday (6), at 7:00pm, in the Hall! ... San Diego Diocese is blessed with fine Catholic High Schools for our children. Saint Augustine for boys (619-282-2184/www.sahs.org), Our Lady of Peace for girls (619-725-9118/www.aolp.org), and Cathedral Catholic High School (858-423-4000/www.cathedralcatholic.org), for boys and girls, are our three local ones. They are all now accepting 9th Grade applications for the 2015-2016 school year, and each school will hold an Entrance Exam on Saturday (24). Application Forms may be downloaded from their websites. ... Our Adoration Chapel is a place of quiet and peace, where folks are welcome to ‘come apart and pray’ before the Most Blessed Sacrament, 24 hours a day, 6 days a week! Take some time!

... San Diego Blood Bank will be with us on Wednesday (14), Thursday (15) and Friday (16), from 1:30pm - 6:30pm each day, right in front of the church. Give the gift of life? ... Mr. Schuh, and our dedicated teachers and staff, are ready to welcome our Saint John School chil-dren back to the classroom this Monday (5)! A truly Christ centered environment! … Saint John School Father-Daughter Dance is this Saturday (10), 6:30pm to 8:30pm, in the Hall. ... Our High School youth classes will resume on Sunday (11), Tuesday (13) and Wednesday (14) for 2nd Year Teens. For more info, contact Isaac at youth@saintjohnencinitas.org or at 760 753-3679. ... Our Holy Name Society will meet on Monday (5) at 7:00pm, our Saint Vincent de Paul this Tuesday (6), at 7:00pm, Catholic Men’s Fellowship this Wednesday (7) at 7:00am, and our Altar Society on Thursday (8) at 6:30pm. All gather in the Hall. ... The Sacrament of Reconciliation (Penance) is celebrated every Saturday from 3:30pm to 4:30pm, and again from 6:00pm to 7:00pm. The green light means Father is there and available, while the red light means Father is there but busy right now! Just wait a moment! ... We are aware of a number of people who have the Celia Sprue condition, and so cannot eat gluten, a major ingredient in wheat flour. We have a low-gluten host, less that .01% wheat, available. To receive the Eucharist in this form just inform the Sacristan or Father before Mass, and then, at Com-munion time, plan to be first in line to receive from Father. We are only too happy to oblige! ... Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton was raised Episcopa-lian, was a wife and mother of five children, and founded, in 1812, the first congregation for women religious in USA, the Sisters of Charity, devoted to teaching in primary schools. She died in 1821, and, in 1975, was the first native born citizen to be canonized. Her feast day is this Sunday (4). ... Father Joseph, Monsignor Tim and Father Brian appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity to them over Christmas. Your gifts and cards are truly appreciated. Thank you! ... Yes, it’s a good time to make new resolutions! Go at it! How about exercise, diet, family, prayer, literature, music, home, friends, service, Sundays, parish? Strive for excellence, not perfection! ... “We have come to do Him homage!” Yes!

EN EL PRINCIPIO

El Evangelio de san Juan comienza con una extraña revelación. Nos declara que al principio, Jesús no sólo estaba con Dios, sino que Jesús es Dios (Juan 1:1). Dependiendo de nuestra traducción de las Sagradas Escrituras, Jesús es nombrado ya sea “Palabra” o “Verbo” en el primer pasaje de Juan. Según una canción de Ricardo Arjona “Jesús es verbo, no sustantivo”. Y tiene razón. Hay que recordar que Juan no escribió en español, ni siquiera en inglés. El evangelista escribió en griego y aplicó el concepto filosófico del logos a Jesús. El logos, de la filosofía griega se manifiesta en Jesús de Nazaret. Para los griegos esta noticia era asombrosa, porque logos quiere decir palabra activa, es decir, el verbo que actúa y por el cual todo es creado. Juan declara que Jesús es este Verbo, él es el Dios que lo hizo todo y en el cual todos tenemos vida si actuamos como él. El Evangelio de Juan nos desafía a vivir el verbo que es Cristo, no sólo diciendo que somos cristianos, sino actuando como Jesús, cual Verbo Divino.

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.
