REFLECTION
FAITH FORMATION
WOMEN’S RETREAT
REFLECCIÓN DOMINICAL
Our first reading and Gospel today witness to the power of
new beginnings arising from divine favor. The period reflected in the reading from Isaiah is just after Israel’s return
from exile. God is starting over with the beloved spouse
Israel, and the reading is full of that joy. The Gospel story of
the wedding at Cana is the first of the signs performed by
Jesus at the beginning of his public ministry. As you listen
to these readings, what new beginnings do you feel that
God has brought about for you?
All Sacrament preparation classes are now two years,
with 1st Communion starting at 1st or 2nd grade and
Confirmation starting at 7th or 8th grade. Contact
Josephine if you have any questions at 707-447-2354.
WOMEN'S WEEKEND RETREAT: Is this the time to take a
deep breath? To get things back in perspective? To simply
rest in the presence of the Lord? Then why not take the
time to encounter the joy of the Lord at our annual parish
women's retreat. The retreat weekend is February 15 to 17
2013, Christ The King Retreat Center in Citrus Heights.
Please call Miriam Roberts at 447-5301 or Marilyn Sponzo at
449-4805. Visit www.passionists.org/christtheking for

Nuestra primera lectura y el Evangelio de hoy dan testimonio
de lo poderosos que son los nuevos comienzos que brotan
del favor divino. El período reflejado en la lectura de Isaías es
inmediatamente después que Israel ha regresado de su exilio. Dios comienza de nuevo con su desposada Israel y la lectura está llena de gozo. La historia del Evangelio sobre la boda en Caná es el primero de los signos de Jesús al comienzo
de su ministerio público. Al escuchar estas lecturas considera: ¿Qué nuevos comienzos crees que Dios te ha concedido?

Nuestra tradición de oración invoca el contacto cercano entre
unos y otros. Por medio de nuestra convocación, cantando, orando, compartiendo las bancas, intercambiando la paz y recibiendo la
comunión respondemos a la llamada de Dios para alabar como
miembros del cuerpo de Cristo y ser alimentados con la palabra y la
Eucaristía. Sin embargo, si está preocupado por poder estar enfermo, es un signo de caridad para sus hermanos impedir que la enfermedad se extienda a otros. Para ayudarnos a proteger y cuidar
a nuestros hermanos, el Obispo nos pide: rezar el Padrenuestro
con nuestras manos juntas en lugar de tomarse de las manos con
otros; intercambiar la paz de una manera sin tocar al otro
(¡acuérdate de sonreír!); recibir la Comunión en la forma de pan
solamente (hasta que el tiempo de la gripe ha terminado). Está
enfermo? Deber de: elegir permanecer en casa hasta que esté seguro que no es contagioso; llamar a su parroquia para encontrar
maneras de mantenerse conectado con la comunidad; aprovechar
una misa televisada para continuar alimentándose por la Palabra
de Dios y recibir una comunión espiritual. (KSPX – Canal 29 en Sacramento – a las 9:30 a.m. cada Domingo)
ILLNESS & THE LITURGY
Our tradition of prayer involves close contact with each other.
By gathering together, singing, praying, sharing a pew, exchanging the sign of peace and receiving communion we respond to God’s call to worship as members of Christ’s body and
to be nourished by Word and Sacrament. However, if you are
concerned that you might be ill, it is a sign of charity for your
brothers and sisters to keep that illness from spreading to others. To help us to protect and care for our brothers and sisters,
Bishop Soto is asking us to: pray the Lord’s Prayer with our
hands joined instead of holding hands; exchange a sign of
peace that does not involve touching others (it helps to smile!);
receive Holy Communion in the form of bread only (until flu season has passed). Are you ill? You should: choose to remain at
home until you are sure you are no longer contagious; contact
your parish about ways to remain connected to the community.
Also, take advantage of a televised Mass to continue being
nourished by the Word and making a spiritual communion.
