No St. Ambrose Crab Fest This Year
From the San Francisco Chronicle,
December 27th, 2015:
The Dungeness crab season was closed due to an unprecedented
algae bloom that infected the crustaceans with domoic acid, which
causes illness and death in humans. The domoic acid is slowly
waning, but the outlook for crabbers and diners is unclear.

MANIFESTING THE SPIRIT
The Christmas season closes this Sunday
with the Baptism of the Lord. This feast is a
sister to last week’s feast of the Epiphany.
Each of them celebrates an “epiphany,” or a
manifestation of the Spirit of God in Jesus—
first in his birth, and now at his baptism.
The divine Spirit is manifested in all of the
scriptures for this feast. Psalm 104 highlights
the Spirit of God creating and renewing the
earth, while the reading from Isaiah describes
God restoring Israel. In Luke’s account of the
baptism of the Lord the Holy Spirit descends
upon Jesus. And the letter to Titus reminds us
that the Holy Spirit was “richly poured out”
on us also, through the “bath of rebirth” (Titus 3:5, 6).

MANIFESTANDO AL ESPÍRITU
El tiempo de Navidad finaliza este domingo
con el Bautismo del Señor. Esta fiesta es hermana de la fiesta de la semana pasada, la Epifanía.
Cada una ellas celebra una “epifanía”, o manifestación del Espíritu de Dios en Jesús —primero
en su nacimiento y ahora en su bautismo.
El Espíritu Divino se manifiesta en todas las
lecturas bíblicas de la fiesta. El Salmo 104 destaca al Espíritu de Dios que crea y renueva la tierra, mientras que la lectura de Isaías describe a
Dios restaurando a Israel. En el relato de Lucas
del bautismo del Señor el Espíritu Santo desciende sobre Jesús. Y la carta a Tito nos recuerda
que el Espíritu Santo también “derramó con
abundancia” sobre nosotros, el “baño de regeneración” (Tito 3:5, 6).
