Almighty and eternal God, when Christ was baptized in the river Jordan, the Holy Spirit came upon him and your voice declared him your beloved Son. Keep all who are reborn of water and the Spirit as children of adoption in whom you are well pleased. We ask this through Christ, your Son. Amen.

What’s in your heart? We all like to be told, “Good job.” It’s even better to be told, “You’re a really great person.” Deep in our hearts, we all long to hear the words that Jesus heard as he broke through the waters of the Jordan at his Baptism: “You are my beloved child of whom I am well pleased.” Our truest identity is beloved son or daughter of God. Knowing our true identity tells us not only who we are, but also what our mission is. In Isaiah, God tells the servant leader, “I have formed you . . . as a light for the nations.”

My Dear Parish Family, So many of you have expressed condolences and promised prayers for me and my family as we mourn my mother’s passing on New Year’s Day. I am so grateful for all the love and support I have received from you all – parishioners, staff, faculty and friends. I am blessed. My mother, Joan M. Shaffer turned 80 in October, just a week before my brother John’s passing. Since about 6 months after my father’s death in June 2012, mom had been in assisted living in Jackson. About a half year ago she went into the “memory care” section for Alzheimer’s patients. One of the blessings my family had was that, while visiting mom on Christmas Eve, she was able to call all of us kids and grandkids by name. Knowing that our last time together was one in which she was still able to recognize us brings great consolation. I am also very thankful for all of the donations sent to the John L. Shaffer Memorial Scholarship Fund. I will be taking a little time off beginning this Monday the 12th and returning January 23. Please pray for me while I am away. God Bless, Fr. Scott

Ronan Tynan in Concert here at Saint Joseph’s on Thursday, March 19, 2015 at 7:00 pm. Mr. Tynan is known from his work with The Irish Tenors and his rendition of God Bless America at so many of the New York Yankees home games. Tickets sale will be announced soon. Spread the word and let’s fill Saint Joseph’s on our parish feast day for this great event!

Saint Thérèse of Lisieux lived in a Carmelite convent with her older sister Pauline. Pauline was with Thérèse throughout her brief life, illness, and death at the tender age of 24. It is no accident that Jesus sent out his disciples in pairs. Having a spiritual companion, as Thérèse did, can be of great help and comfort on the sometimes difficult spiritual journey. Cultivate spiritual friendships in your own life. —Take Five for Faith

MENSAJE DEL PASTOR …

Mi Querida Familia Parroquial: Estoy muy agradecido por todo el apoyo y amor que he recibido de parte de todos los Feligreses, empleados, profesores y amigos. Muchos de ustedes han expresado sus condolencias y han prometido orar por mi familia y yo mientras lloramos la pérdida de mi madre, la cual falleció el pasado jueves primero de enero. Me siento bendecido por contar con todos ustedes.

Mi madre Joan M. Shaffer, había cumplido 80 años en Octubre del 2014, justo una semana antes de que mi hermano John falleciera. Aproximadamente 6 meses después de la muerte de mi padre en Junio del 2012, mi madre estuvo viviendo en casas de asistencia para personas mayores en Jackson, NJ y hace alrededor de un año y medio había entrado en la sección de los pacientes con Alzheimer. Considero que una de las últimas bendiciones más grandes que obtuvimos en estos últimos días mi familia y yo, fue el hecho de poder compartir esta última navidad juntos y al lado de mi madre. También el hecho de que ella pudiera llamar y reconocer a todos sus hijos y nietos por su nombre nos llena de gran consuelo en estos momentos de dolor.

Cambiando un poco de tema, les cuento que me siento enormemente agradecido por todas las donaciones que han sido enviadas al Fondo de Becas de John L. Shaffer Memorial.

Por ultimo quiero que sepan que a partir del lunes 12 de Enero hasta el 23 de Enero estaré tomando un corto descanso. Les pido que oren por mí, mientras no estoy presente.

Dios los Bendiga. Fr. Scott

ANUNCIOS DE VIDA COMUNITARIA EL BAUTISMO DEL SEÑOR

“Cuando Jesús entra en las aguas y Juan baña su cabeza, son sumergidos todos los pecados de los hombres. El agua limpian el cuerpo, y por eso es tomada como símbolo de la limpieza de las almas que se arrepienten ante Dios de sus pecados. Pero al sumergirse Jesús en las aguas, las santifica, les da una fuerza nueva. Más adelante, el bautismo lavará con el agua los pecados hasta la raíz, y dará la nueva vida que Cristo conquistará en su resurrección. Serán, efectivamente, aguas vivas que saltan

hasta la vida eterna.

TALLERES DE ORACIÓN Y VIDA: Los talleres del Padre Ignacio Larrañaga te enseñan a relacionarte con Dios, como de un amigo a otro. Aquí encontraras un método práctico para aprender a orar; y orar de una manera ordenada, variada y progresiva: desde los primeros pasos hasta las profundidades de la contemplación. Inscripciones abiertas para el mes de febrero. ¿Qué es la Epifanía?

¡VEN, PARTICIPA Y APRENDE A COMUNICARTE CON DIOS!

GRUPO DE ORACIÓN “Espíritu Santo”: El Grupo de Oración invita a toda la comunidad a participar de sus sesiones de oración, todos los viernes a la 7:00 pm, en la 16 Lafayette Toms River NJ 08753. ¡Regálate la oportunidad de comunicarte con Dios! CAPILLA DE ADORACIÓN PERPETUA: El Santísimo Sacramento del Altar está abierto todos los días de la semana y las 24 horas del día, todos están invitados a adorarlo. La capilla esta ubicada al costado de las oficinas parroquiales. Si quieres comprometer una hora a la semana comunícate con John y Peggy al 732-581-9463.

¿PUEDES VELAR UNA HORA CONMIGO? Una hora semanal ante el Santísimo, deja tu hoja de compromiso ante el Señor.

GRUPO MUSICAL: La formación de la coral hispana es el propósito para el año 2015, por ello invitamos a todos aquellos que quieran atreverse a cantarle a Dios, o que simplemente quieran tocar algún instrumento musical a que se una a este grupo. Si estas interesado comunícate con la Oficina Hispana. Los ensayos pronto comenzaran. Aprovechemos los dones que nos a dado Dios.
