We ask for physical, emotional and mental healing. Father, we believe that all things are possible through you and by Christ s stripes we are healed. We believe that you see every need before we ask. You are the Great Physician and we thank you in advance for what you will do. In Jesus Holy Name we pray. AMEN! Saint Vincent de Paul A big THANK YOU to all the Parishioners who graciously participated in the Christmas Sock Drive. Even though socks are something we take for granted, they are greatly needed in the homeless community. There were over 200 pairs gifted, which enabled SVdP to give each person several pairs. Let us not forget those in need. GOD BLESS, Don Wilford (SVDP Volunteer)

3 Page 3 A Reflection of the Gospel by Father John Bartunek, LC, THD Christ the friend: The Magi s journey had not been an easy one. Traveling in ancient times involved risks and hardships almost unknown to us; the Magi had to traverse deserts and mountains on foot, braving harsh weather, outlaws, and wild animals at every turn. They undertook the journey because they believed in Jesus Christ, even though they had seen none of his miracles, knew not the full meaning of Israel s prophecies, and lacked the ultimate testimony of His love on the cross. Christ rewarded their determined faith with profound joy: The sight of the star filled them with delight. When we, who have many more reasons to believe, sincerely pursue friendship with Christ the King, He is glad to give it, along with all the joy it affords. But our friendship also gives Him joy. Frankincense (incense) was burned in houses of worship for the pleasure of God. The Old Testament speaks of sweet smelling burnt offerings that pleased the Lord, and the book of Revelation mentions incense (which stands for the prayers of God s people) being offered ceaselessly to the Lamb (Christ). The incense itself is powerless to warm the heart of God: only the attitude that moves us to offer it can do that. God longs for us to come to Him, to trust Him, to seek answers and help from Him just as a father rejoices when his children bring him all their troubles and triumphs. Our humble, confident, and sincere prayers fill the heavenly courts with the pleasing aroma of spiritual frankincense; let us not deprive our Lord of such delights, which he relishes so much. Christ in my life: Lord, You deserve my worship, my allegiance, my adoration You deserve the very best I can give You in all things, How negligent I am in giving it! I don t know how You put up with my pettiness and selfabsorption. Thank You for giving me the gift of faith; teach me to live that faith to the hilt. With the love of Your heart, inflame my heart Part of me is just like Herod, Lord; when my will or wishes are contradicted, I go ballistic. You know that Lord. It doesn t surprise You. I want to take advantage of those moments, Lord. In them I can glorify You, offer You the precious incense of self-mastery out of love for You. Teach me to kneel before You and offer You my most prized possession; my own will So many times Lord, You have let me see the star! You have given me so many blessings, so many experiences of Your love. Thank you, Lord. Keep filling my heart with Your joy, so that I can overflow with it to everyone around me, and they too can lift their gaze to the heavens and see the light of Your love, even if that star disappears behind a cloud.

GOD S PROMISE TO ALL PEOPLE Today Isaiah reminds the people of God that the land shall be restored to their possession, they shall rejoice to see their people return from the bondage of exile, and that they shall be a light to the nations. In other words, through the people of Israel, the Savior shall come to all people who seek God with a sincere heart. This brings joy and the radiance of God s glory to all the world and to all people everywhere. Through the fidelity of the people of God, and through God s fidelity to them, all people shall become God s children and rejoice in the fulfillment of God s promise to Israel. Copyright J. S.
