2 A Letter from Father... Page 2 January 10, 2016 GOOD BYE AND HELLO Mrs. Audrey Rodarte has been our parish secretary for the last seven years. She did her job with exceptional skill. She made the office a welcoming place for all those who came to the parish office. Quick to smile, ready to help, comforting when needed. But now Aubrey and her husband Jay will be moving up to Washington State for a well deserved semi retirement. I wish them well. May God continue to bless them. Thank you Audrey and Jay for your ever faithful serves to this church. May God bless you on your journey. So as Audrey leaves, I welcome Carmelita Vasquez as our new secretary. Carmelita has given many years here in the parish as a Religious Education teacher. She will now bring her skills to take our parish office. We are fortunate to have her. She has her husband Felipe, daughters Vanessa, Gracie and Alejandra and son Felipe Jr. I ask that God will bless her in her works as she will be a blessing for the Parish. Peace, St. Francis de Sales Catholic School 4205 Mulberry St Riverside, CA Principal: Kathy Kothlow Phone: (951) Day Care: (951)

6 The Baptism of the Lord Page 6 January 10, 2016 TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Merry Christmas! Share that cheerful greeting with some folks today. They may wonder if you have had any Elvis sightings lately, attended Star Trek conventions, or were Cleopatra in a previous lifetime. Despite the skeptics, today is solidly within the Christmas season. In fact, in some strands of the Christian tradition it represents the clearest manifestation of the mystery of the Incarnation. On Christmas Day, for example, the Gospel reading is the Prologue of John s Gospel, which reveals the glory of Christ shining through our humanity precisely in his baptism. At any rate, this is an ancient feast, celebrated first in Egypt sixteen centuries ago. More than most other ancient people, the Egyptians understood the life giving properties of water. On this day, they drew water from the Nile, so central in the history of their people and reserved it in honor. Many other places copied the custom, so that St. John Chrysostom wrote of people in Antioch gathering at midnight to collect flowing water into vessels they brought from home since today there is a blessing of the water. At home for dinner tonight, decorate the table with beautiful bowls of water and white candles, toast one another with goblets of sparkling water and light a Christmas candle in the window one last time. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE La costumbre del bautismo infantil debe ser mucho más que un acto social o una tradición cultural, donde el ropón y los regalos son más importantes que la doctrina cristiana, y los padrinos se escogen no por su buen ejemplo sino por su cuenta bancaria. Según los Hechos de los Apóstoles, familias enteras se bautizaban cuando el padre de familia decidía hacerse cristiano. Esta práctica de bautizar, no solo al nuevo creyente sino también a su mujer y a sus hijos, poco a poco, quedó solo en bautizar los niños del original creyente. El mundo en aquel tiempo estaba basado sobre la familia así como muchas culturas latinas de hoy. El bautizo infantil nació en la Iglesia primitiva y al pasar de los siglos llegó a transformarse en un rito religioso muy importante en la catequesis del nuevo cristiano. El niño viste de ropita blanca que recuerda la presencia de Cristo en su alma, se le regala una vela que lo invita a brillar con la luz de Cristo y se le da una madrina o un padrino que le enseñará a vivir en Cristo.
