From the Pastor’s Desk

Del Escritorio del Pastor

Dear parishioners and friends:

HAPPY NEW YEAR….

As we begin a New Year people often make New Y ear’s Resolutions. Popular resolutions include to lose weight, to stop smoking, and to exercise more. All good ideas, but it is also important to make New Y ear’s Spiritual Resolutions. Below are some resolutions that Pope Francis recommends for us. Read through these and think how they may apply to your life. To grow closer to the Lord is the best resolution anyone can make. What can you do to grow closer to the Lord as we begin a new year?

The New Year’s Resolutions recommended by Pope Francis: 1) Don’t Gossip: For many, this is a habit. The Pope reminds us that gossiping is an evil activity that often tears others down and hurts a person’s reputation. 2) Finish your meals: He reminds us that we live in a “culture of waste” and so many in the world go hungry every night. 3) Make time for others: Try to find ways to care more for your family, neighbor, co-worker, and classmate. 4) Choose the more humble purchase: The Pope preaches against materialism. “Certainly, possessions, money, and power can give a momentary thrill, the illusion of being happy, but they end up possessing us and making us always want to have more, never satisfied. ‘Put on Christ’ in your life, place your trust in him, and you will never be disappointed!” 5) Meet the poor in the flesh: It is wonderful to donate to charity, but try to meet the poor in the flesh by volunteering with our St. Vincent de Paul Team or another charitable organization. 6) Stop Judging others: Pope Francis condemned gossip above and he also warns against judging another person and the sin of prejudice. Francis urges us “to keep watch over ourselves.” “Let us not forget that hatred, envy, and pride defile our lives!” 7) Befriend those you disagree with: There are so many harsh words spoken by political leaders and talk show pundits in our society today. Try to see the person of Christ in everyone, even a person you do not agree with. 8) Make commitments, such as marriage: So many young people live together without the commitment of marriage. Don't be afraid to say “forever.” Pope Francis advises the youth, for instance, not to fear marriage. Also, if you married after a difficult divorce perhaps you can talk to a priest about the process of annulment. 9) Make it a habit to “ask the Lord.”: Turn to the Lord every day in prayer, seek the Lord’s guidance and help. 10) Be Happy: A true Christian, the Pope says, “exudes joy.” A joy that comes from an encounter with Christ and the knowledge that he is loved and saved by Jesus. I pray you and your family have a Healthy and Joyful New Year.

God Bless, Fr. Vince

Queridos feligreses y amigos:

FELIZ AÑO NUEVO…… Cuando comenzamos un año nuevo, las personas a menudo se proponen Propósitos de Año Nuevo. Los Propósitos comunes incluyen bajar de peso, dejar de fumar y hacer más ejercicio. Todos son buenas ideas, pero también es importante hacer Propositos Espirituales de Año Nuevo. A continuación, se encuentran algunas rpropositos que el Papa Francisco nos recomienda para nosotros. Lea todo esto y piense cómo se pueden aplicarlos en sus vidas. Crecer más cerca del Señor es el mejor propósito que cualquiera puede hacer. ¿Qué podemos hacer para acercarlos más al Señor cuando comenzamos un nuevo año? Los Propósitos de Año Nuevo recomendadas por el Papa Francisco: 1) No chismes: para muchos, esto es un hábito. El Papa nos recuerda que el chisme es una actividad malvada que a menudo derriba a otros y daña la reputación de una persona. 2) Termine sus comidas: nos recuerda que vivimos en una "cultura de los desechos" y que muchas personas en el mundo pasan hambre todas las noches. 3) Dedique tiempo a los demás: trate de ver de qué maneras puede cuidar más a su familia, a su vecino, a sus compañeros de trabajo y a sus compañeros de clases. 4) Elija la compra más humilde: el Papa predica contra el materialismo. "Ciertamente, las posesiones, el dinero y el poder pueden dar una emoción momentánea, la ilusión de ser felices, pero terminan poseyéndonos y haciéndonos siempre querer tener más, y nunca estar satisfechos. 'Pongan a Cristo’ en sus vidas, ¡pongan sus confianzas en él y nunca te decepcionará! 5) Conozca a los pobres de carne y hueso: es maravilloso donar a la caridad, pero trate de conocer a los pobres en persona ofreciéndose como voluntario con nuestro Equipo de San Vicente de Paúl u otra organización caritativa. 6) Deje de juzgar a los demás: el Papa Francisco condenó los chismes anteriores y también advierte contra juzgar a otra persona y el pecado de prejuicio. Francisco nos urge a "vigilarnos a nosotros mismos". "¡No olvidemos que el odio, la envidia y el orgullo contaminan nuestras vidas!" 7) Hazte amigo de las personas con las que no estás de acuerdo: hoy en día, en nuestra sociedad, las palabras duras de los líderes políticos y de los expertos en programas de entrevistas son muy duras. Trate de ver a Cristo en todas las personas, incluso en las personas con las que no esté de acuerdo. 8) Hacer compromisos, como el matrimonio: tantos jóvenes viven juntos sin el compromiso del matrimonio. No tema decir "para siempre". El Papa Francisco aconseja a los jóvenes, por ejemplo, que no teman al matrimonio. Además, si se casó y después un divorcio difícil, tal vez pueda hablar con un sacerdote sobre el proceso de anulación. 9) Acostúmbrese a "pedirle al Señor". Diríjanse al Señor todos los días en oración, busque la guía y la ayuda del Señor. 10) Sé feliz: un verdadero cristiano, dice el Papa, "rezuma la alegría". Una alegría que proviene de un encuentro con Cristo y del conocimiento de que Jesús lo ama y lo salva. Oro para que ustedes y sus familias tengan un Año Nuevo saludable y

feliz. Padre Vicente

The Holy Family of Jesus, Mary and

Joseph Stewards Forgive

“…as the Lord has forgiven you, so you must forgive.” - COLOSSIANS 3:13

Forgiveness – one of the hardest things for people to

do. It’s amazing how long we can hold a grudge or be angry with someone. As we celebrate the feast of the

Holy Family, take this opportunity to act in Stewardship and give the gift of forgiveness to

someone - maybe someone in your family, maybe a friend, maybe a co-worker or neighbor or,

maybe yourself. Pick up the phone or text someone right now.

blessings in the year to come!

The artwork above, by student, Jamie Valentin, is the

Students were excited to wear their pajamas to school and have breakfast together which included their favorite

cereals, fruit and special treats. What a fun way to celebrate Christmas!

the programs and resources needed to shape young lives rooted in Christian values. Some of our families urgently need your support. Kindly consider a
