THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,

I would like to extend a special thank you to everyone who donated gifts to our

Giving Tree during the Advent and Christmas season. On behalf of the parish

priests, I would also like to extend a special thank you to every who has given

personal gifts to the parish priests. We thank you for your continued support of

the priests and parish.

And speaking of gifts: today marks the close of the Christmas season, but before

we return to Ordinary Time, we have one more

great feast to celebrate — The Baptism of the

Lord! Today’s feast is a perfect opportunity to

consider the privileges and responsibilities we

all share as Christian stewards by virtue of our

own Baptism.

At the moment of our Baptism we

became adopted sons and daughters of God,

members of his holy, Catholic Church. Though

we may not have realized it, the moment of our Baptism is also the moment we

become Christian stewards, disciples of Jesus Christ, tasked with the work of

following in His footsteps day by day and sharing the Gospel message with all

those around us.

Yours in Christ,

Communion to the

La Epifanía del Señor

La palabra griega epiphaneaia significa mani-

festación. El nacimiento de un niño puede ser

una epifanía que derrepente nos hace compren-

der el amor y la responsabilidad de una manera

nueva.

En la fiesta de la Epifanía se celebra el hecho de

que Dios manifestó su Gloria a los sabios

( reyes magos) venidos de oriente. Primero,

ellos vieron una Estrella y decidieron seguirla

hasta llegar a Jesús. Segundo, cuando entraron

al Niño, los sabios se arrodillaron para adorarlo

y le rindieron homenaje. Tercero, los sabios

regresaron a sus paises internamente transfor-

mados. Cuando los magos contemplaron la

divinidad del niño Jesús, lo adoraron. Contem-

pla quien es Jesús y todo lo que el hizo por ti,

arrodíllate delante de él y deja que la gratitud y

la alegría te llenen por completo como lo hici-

eron los sabios. Los sabios se sintieron trans-

formados por lo que vieron. Ellos encontraron

una vida nueva. Ellos vieron la Gloria de Dios!

Tu vida también puede cambiar de una manera

parecida; viendo y adorando a Jesús y recibien-
