PARISH INFORMATION The Baptism of the Lord MANIFESTING THE SPIRIT The Christmas season closes this Sunday with the Baptism of the Lord. This feast is a sister to last week’s feast of the Epiphany. Each of them celebrates an “epiphany,” or a manifestation of the Spirit of God in Jesus—first in his birth, and now at his baptism. The divine Spirit is manifested in all of the scriptures for this feast. Psalm 104 highlights the Spirit of God creating and renewing the earth, while the reading from Isaiah describes God restoring Israel. In Luke’s account of the baptism of the Lord the Holy Spirit descends upon Jesus. And the letter to Titus reminds us that the Holy Spirit was “richly poured out” on us also, through the “bath of rebirth” (Titus 3:5, 6). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TODAY’S READINGS First Reading - Isaiah speaks of the Servant

whom the Lord upholds; he shall bring forth justice to the nations (Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7) or Isaiah 40:1-5, 9-11.

Psalm - The Lord will bless his people with peace (Psalm 29) or Psalm 104.

Second Reading - Jesus was anointed by God with the Holy Spirit; he went out healing and doing good (Acts 10:34-38) or Titus 2:11-14; 3:4-7.

Gospel - A voice comes from heaven proclaiming Jesus as the beloved Son, with whom God is well pleased (Luke 3:15-16, 21-22).

El Bautismo del Señor MANIFESTANDO AL ESPÍRITU El tiempo de Navidad finaliza este domingo con el Bautismo del Señor. Esta fiesta es hermana de la fiesta de la semana pasada, la Epifanía. Cada una ellas celebra una “epifanía”, o manifestación del Espíritu de Dios en Jesús —primero en su nacimiento y ahora en su bautismo. El Espíritu Divino se manifiesta en todas las lecturas bíblicas de la fiesta. El Salmo 104 destaca al Espíritu de Dios que crea y renueva la tierra, mientras que la lectura de Isaías describe a Dios restaurando a Israel. En el relato de Lucas del bautismo del Señor el Espíritu Santo desciende sobre Jesús. Y la carta a Tito nos recuerda que el Espíritu Santo también “derramó con abundancia” s o b r e n o s o t r o s , e l “ b a ñ o d e regeneración” (Tito 3:5, 6). Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura - Miren a mi siervo, en quien

tengo mis complacencias (Isaías 42:1-4, 6-7) o Isaías 40:1-5, 9-11.

Salmo - Te alabamos, Señor (Salmo 29 [28]) o Salmo 104 (103).

Segunda lectura - Dios ungió con el Espíritu Santo a Jesús de Nazaret (Hch 10:34-38) o Tito 2:11-14; 3:4-7.

Evangelio - Después del bautismo de Jesús, el cielo se abrió (Lucas 3:15-16, 21-22).

St. Dominic Savio He is the patron saint of our Parish. He is a saint at nearly fifteen years of age. He was educated by St. John Bosco at the Oratory of St. Francis de Sales. For Dominic, holiness consists of always being cheerful and of doing one’s ordinary duties, extraordinarily well. His Feast Day is on May 6.

LOS REYES MAGOS SON VERDAD Acababa de llegar su papá a casa, y ya estaba dispuesto a escuchar como todos los días lo que su hija le contaba de sus actividades en el colegio, cuando ésta, en voz baja, como con miedo, le dijo: - Papá, quiero que… me digas la verdad. - Claro, hija, siempre te la digo, respondió el papá sorprendido. - Es que…, titubeó Blanca, ¿existen los Reyes Magos? El papá de Blanca se quedó mudo. - Las niñas dicen que son los papás. ¿Es verdad? La pregunta de Blanca le obligó a volver la mirada hacia la niña y, tragando saliva, le dijo: - Y ¿tú qué crees, hija? - Yo no sé, papá: que sí y que no. Por un lado, me parece que sí que existen porque tú no me engañas; pero, como las niñas dicen eso… - Mira, hija, efectivamente son los papás los que ponen los regalos pero… - Entonces ¿es verdad? -dijo la niña con los ojos humedecidos- ¡Me habéis engañado! - No, mira, nunca te hemos engañado porque los Reyes Magos sí existen –respondió el papá agarrando con sus dos manos la cara de Blanca. - Entonces, no lo entiendo, papá. Y su papá se dispuso a narrar lo que para él debió de ser la verdadera historia de los Reyes Magos: - Cuando el Niño Dios nació, tres Reyes que venían de Oriente, guiados por una gran estrella, se acercaron al Portal para adorarle. Le llevaron regalos en prueba de amor y respeto. Y el Niño se puso tan contento y parecía tan feliz, que el más anciano de los Reyes, Melchor, dijo: - ¡Es maravilloso ver tan feliz a un niño! Deberíamos llevar regalos a todos los niños del mundo y ver lo felices que serían. - Oh, sí, exclamo Gaspar. Es una buena idea, pero es muy difícil de hacer. No seremos capaces de poder llevar regalos a tantos millones de niños como hay en el mundo. Baltasar, el tercero de los Reyes, que estaba escuchando a sus dos compañeros con cara de alegría, comentó: - Es verdad que sería fantástico, pero Gaspar tiene razón y, aunque somos magos, somos ancianos y nos resultaría muy difícil poder recorrer el mundo entero entregando regalos a todos los niños. Pero sería tan bonito… Los tres Reyes se pusieron muy tristes al pensar que no podrían realizar su deseo. Y el Niño Jesús, que desde su cunita parecía escucharles muy atento, sonrió y la voz de Dios se escuchó en el Portal: - Sois muy buenos, queridos Reyes Magos, y os agradezco vuestros regalos. Voy a ayudaros a realizar vuestro deseo. Decidme, ¿qué necesitáis para poder llevar regalos a todos los niños?

- Señor, dijeron los tres Reyes postrándose de rodillas. Necesitaríamos millones y millones de pajes, casi uno por cada niño, que pudieran llevar al mismo tiempo a cada casa nuestros regalos, pero no podemos tener tantos pajes, no existen tantos. - No os preocupéis por eso, dijo Dios. Yo os voy a dar, no uno sino dos pajes para cada niño que hay en el mundo. - Sería fantástico. Pero ¿cómo es posible?, dijeron a la vez los tres Reyes Magos con cara de sorpresa y admiración. - Decidme, ¿no es verdad que los pajes que os gustaría tener deben querer mucho a los niños?, preguntó Dios. - Sí, claro, eso es fundamental, asintieron con la cabeza los tres Reyes. - Y ¿verdad que esos pajes deberían conocer muy bien los deseos de los niños? - Sí, sí. Eso es lo que exigiríamos a un paje, respondieron cada vez más entusiasmados los tres. - Pues, decidme, queridos Reyes, ¿hay alguien que quiera más a los niños y los conozca mejor que sus propios papás? Los tres Reyes se miraron asintiendo con la cabeza y empezando a comprender lo que Dios estaba planeando, cuando la voz de nuevo se volvió a oír: - Puesto que así lo habéis querido y para que, en nombre de los tres Reyes Magos de Oriente, todos los niños del mundo reciban algunos regalos, Yo ordeno que, en Navidad, conmemorando estos momentos, todos los papás se conviertan en vuestros pajes, y que en vuestro nombre y de vuestra parte regalen a sus hijos los regalos que deseen. También ordeno que, mientras los niños sean pequeños, la entrega de regalos se haga como si la hicieran los propios Reyes Magos. Pero cuando los niños sean suficientemente mayores para entender esto, los papás les contarán esta historia y desde entonces, en todas la Navidades, los niños harán también regalos a sus papás en prueba de cariño. Y, junto al Belén, recordarán que, gracias a los tres Reyes Magos, todos son más felices. Cuando el papá de Blanca hubo terminado de contar esta historia, la niña se levantó y, dando un beso a sus papás, dijo: - Ahora sí que lo entiendo todo, papá. Y estoy muy contenta de saber que me queréis y que no me habéis engañado. Y, corriendo, se dirigió a su cuarto, regresando con su alcancía en la mano mientras decía: - No sé si tendré bastante para compraros algún regalo, pero para el año que viene ya guardaré más dinero. Y todos se abrazaron mientras, a buen seguro, desde el cielo, tres Reyes Magos contemplaban la escena muy satisfechos.

WELCOME NEW CATECHUMENS AND

CANDIDATES Today at the 10:00 a.m. Mass, we celebrated one of the rituals that accompany Christian initiation: the Combined Rite of Acceptance into the Order of Catechumens and Rite of Welcoming Candidates for Full Communion. Matthew Black, Jaime Gastelum, Orlando Guzman, John Hambly, Marie Quiroz, and

April Ruiz came to us some months ago, inquiring about Jesus and about how we, who are Roman Catholics, follow him. They have been among us, seen Christ’s power, and have begun to be influenced by His grace. His grace led them to today, where we had the privilege of accepting them, embracing them, and formally beginning what will be a lifelong relationship with Christ and the Church. Today, they embraced the cross, and accepted the Sacred Scriptures. Today, they became known to us as catechumens. Miriam Acosta, Andrea Arellano, Victor Fonseca, Eddie Guzman, Melania Henriquez, Brianna Pascual, Diego Pascual, Francisco Chavolla, Cindy Umana and Kelly Valencia were also with us today. Each of them have already been baptized and seek to come into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. We welcomed them today, recalling their baptism, and reminding them that Christ is known through the Scriptures and the Tradition. From this day on, until they complete their preparation and are called to the sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation and Eucharist or just Confirmation and Eucharist, we will walk with them, sharing our liturgies, our Tradition, our works of charity and justice, and our life in community. What is the RCIA Rite of Acceptance into the Order of Catechumens? The Rite of Acceptance into the Order of Catechumens is for inquirers in the RCIA process who are preparing for their Baptism. They are now ready to publicly declare their intention to continue their journey towards becoming Catholics. At this Rite, they are asked to more fully embrace the Gospel message with the help of God, and are also signed with the Cross to show that they now belong to Christ, the Shepherd of souls. In this Rite, the parish community has the opportunity to more fully participate in and pray for those in the RCIA process. This Rite places these catechumens in a formal relationship with the universal Church. What is the RCIA Rite of Welcoming? The Rite of Welcoming is for inquirers who have been previously baptized and are ready to publicly declare their intention to continue their journey toward full communion with the Catholic Church. At this Rite, they are asked if they are ready to listen to the apostles’ instruction, gather with the worshipping community in prayer, and join that community in the love and service of others. They are signed with the Cross to show that they belong to Christ. Why is the parish community important at the Rites of Acceptance and Welcoming? Members of the parish community should affirm that they are ready to help and support the RCIA candidates seeking to follow Christ. We ask you to please pray for them as they continue their conversion journey and for our RCIA process as we assist them in moving toward a closer relationship with God. Your prayers are critical to the success of our program. We will continue to keep you informed of the initiation process and progress of those considering joining the Church. We invite you to take an active role in welcoming our soon-to-be catechumens and candidates, and to be models of faith and Christian charity for them. We look forward to the time when the Catechumens and Candidates will fully participate in the sharing of the Lord’s Table.

WHY IS IT

A man wakes up after sleeping

under an ADVERTISED blanket

on an ADVERTISED mattress

and pulls off ADVERTISED pajamas

bathes in an ADVERTISED shower

shaves with an ADVERTISED razor

brushes his teeth

with ADVERTISED toothpaste

washes with ADVERTISED soap

puts on ADVERTISED clothes

drinks a cup

of ADVERTISED coffee

drives to work

in an ADVERTISED car

and then . . . .

refuses to ADVERTISE

believing it doesn’t pay.

Later if business is poor

he ADVERTISES it for sale.

WHY IS IT?
