Monday
Read God’s Presence in His
Creation Pope Francis re-
minds us that crea-
tion—including
the weather—is a
gift to be cele-
brated, not some-
thing simply to be
controlled and
altered. We lose
our sense of won-
der in nature when
we become too
absorbed in the
structures of eve-
ryday life. Jesus’
parable reflect a
deep knowledge of
flocks, fields, and
fishing.
Tuesday
Read God’s Presence in
His Creation We can under-
stand these sto-
ries better if we
grow in our
awareness of
creation. Pope
Francis, like his
namesake, Saint
Francis of As-
sisi, calls us to
read God’s pres-
ence not only in
our holy book in
the s but in the
holiness of the
world around us,
plant and animal
as well as hu-
man.
Wednesday
Jesus Is Forever, Not Only for
Christmas Perhaps we’re a bit
relieved that Christ-
mas is over for an-
other year. But
perhaps we discover
that something has
changed in us be-
cause of an encoun-
ter, a gift, a new
insight into the
meaning of the in-
carnation. We can
keep a little bit of
that with us through
the coming year and
let it bring light and
peace to our every-
day lives.
Thursday
Jesus Is Forever, Not Only for
Christmas Our journey with
God doesn’t end
with the Christmas
season. Jesus is
forever, not just for
Christmas. As you
begin to pack away
the decorations, take
time to recall your
favorite experience
of this year. It
might be a small
moment that nearly
went unnoticed or it
might be a special
occasion or event in
your life or the life
of someone you
love.
Friday
Jesus Is For-ever Not Only for
Christmas As you discard
any broken
ornaments,
burned-out
lights or empty
boxes, let go of
one hurt feeling
that may linger
from this year’s
celebrations.
Saturday
Peace Begins in Our Hearts
Peace begins in the
heart and moves out-
ward. If we’re not at
peace within our-
selves, conflict will
find its way into our
daily interactions
with others. If our
families and
neighborhoods are
not at peace, turmoil
in our cities will
spread. As we begin
the new year, make a
commitment to focus
on peace through
prayer, through medi-
tation, through work-
ing for justice.
Sunday
A Prayer for Peace
“Mary gave a human
face to the eternal
Word, so that all of
us can contemplate
him.”—Pope Francis
On this New Year’s
Day, think of the
faces in your life that
bring you peace and
joy. Say a special
prayer for those peo-
ple. And on this day
of prayer for world
peace, ask the Lord
to smile in a special
way on those areas
of our world that
most need the light
of peace to shine on
them.

Dear brothers and sisters in Christ,
Happy 2018! I pray that you have had a good start to the new year and continue to
do so. If you have made any New Year’s resolutions, I pray they will be of great
help to you and lead you closer to the Lord!
As a sign of this time for new beginnings, our Christmas season comes to a close
this weekend with the Solemnity of the Epiphany, in which the magi adored the
Christ-child.
Now we move on to Ordinary Time, but as we do so, let us take our at the Cate-
chism, for the first time in 2018. Here, we continue to look at both Scripture and
Tradition, but now we focus on their relationship with each other. Both were
started by Christ for the same purpose: to lead us to Heaven. Therefore, as para-
graph 82 makes clear, both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honored
by all, for both have a key place in our faith.
Section II: The Relationship Between Tradition and Sacred Scripture
One common source. . . #80 "Sacred Tradition and Sacred Scripture, then, are bound closely together, and communicate one with the other. For both of them, flowing out from the same divine well-spring, come together in some fashion to form one thing, and move towards the same goal."40 Each of them makes present and fruit-ful in the Church the mystery of Christ, who promised to remain with his own "always, to the close of the age".
. . .two distinct modes of transmission #81 "Sacred Scripture is the speech of God as it is put down in writing under the breath of the Holy Spirit."42
"and [Holy] Tradition transmits in its entirety the Word of God which has been entrusted to the apostles by Christ the Lord and the Holy Spirit. It transmits it to the successors of the apostles so that, enlightened by the Spirit of truth, they may faithfully preserve, expound and spread it abroad by their preaching."43
#82 As a result the Church, to whom the transmission and interpretation of Revelation is entrusted, "does not derive her certainty about all revealed truths from the holy Scriptures alone. Both Scripture and Tradition must be accepted and honoured with equal sentiments of devotion and reverence."44
Apostolic Tradition and ecclesial traditions #83 The Tradition here in question comes from the apostles and hands on what they received from Jesus' teaching and example and what they learned from the Holy Spirit. the first generation of Christians did not yet have a written New Testament, and the New Testament itself demonstrates the process of living Tradition.
Tradition is to be distinguished from the various theological, disciplinary, liturgical or devo-tional traditions, born in the local churches over time. These are the particular forms, adapted to different places and times, in which the great Tradition is expressed. In the light of Tradition, these traditions can be retained, modified or even abandoned under the guidance of the Church's Magisterium.
Let us praise the Lord, and give Him thanks!
In Christ the Lord,
Fr. DeBlanc

Ep i p h a n y H o u s e B les s i n g It has been a long tradition of the Church for
families to have their homes blessed during this
Christmas season and mark their doors with
chalk, in honor of the magi who came to see
the infant Jesus. It is a blessing in which a fam-
ily asks Christ to bless their home for the new
year. If you would like Fr. DeBlanc to give
your home this blessing, please call the office.
