When we suspect illness, each of us can help decrease the spread of illness by not receiving the Precious Blood of Christ from the cup during Communion. ENCUENTRO CON DIOS Los espléndidos Reyes Magos destellantes, majestuoso y solemnes, salen hoy de las páginas de Mateo y van rumbo a nuestra iglesia. Solamente Mateo nos habla de esta grande e interesante historia para que podamos ver la luz y saber que el niño que visitaron los Reyes Magos era el cumplimiento de la profecía, el rey cuyo mensaje llega hasta la tierra natal de estos magos y mucho más allá, hasta nuestra época. Nosotros también nuevamente podemos ver y entender. Al igual que estos magos, nuestros santos patrones en este día, vemos en el niño recién nacido al rey del universo y la luz del mundo. Como los Reyes Magos, encontramos dentro de nosotros una nueva fe y una nueva vida. Como ellos, regresamos a casa por una nueva ruta. Se nos pide terminemos esta temporada festiva renovados y consientes de la presencia de Dios entre nosotros. Se nos pide encontrar a Dios donde se le puede encontrar, que estemos atentos y listos para, con asombro, inclinarnos en adoración y ofrecer nuestras ofrendas. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

4 FINDING GOD The splendid magi, all sparkle and dash and solemnity, march right up off the pages of Matthew s Gospel and into our churches today. Matthew alone tells us this grand and seductive story so that we might see the light and know that the child these magi visited is the fulfillment of prophecy, the king of the world that stretches to the magi s home country and beyond, right down the ages to us. We too see and understand anew. Like the magi, our patron saints for this day, we see in the newborn child the king of the universe and light of the world. Like the magi, we find in ourselves a new faith and a new life. Like them, we return to our home by a new route. We are asked to come away from this festive season ourselves renewed and awake to the presence of God among us. We are asked to find God where God is to be found, to be attentive and surprised and ready to bow down in adoration and to offer our gifts. Copyright J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

5 PASTOR S POST by Fr. Albert DeGiacomo Christ s Peace I know you join with me in thanking all our liturgical and music ministers who have been assisting us so beautifully in our sung prayer on Christmas and throughout Christmastide. We are having a joyous parish Christmas, filled with Christ s Peace, the principal gift of Christmas and the desire of all human hearts! Thank you, again, for your kindness and generosity toward me, the staff and toward the parish itself. Finally, on this Epiphany Sunday, as we continue to wish each other a Happy New Year, let us pray for each other, that we may be epiphanies, manifestations of peace and light to the nations, as Isaiah tells us. That s real evangelization! Praised be Jesus Christ! Now and Forever. Father Al
