“Federal Holiday”
Happy Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Day!
America celebrates the charismatic, mid-20th century,
Baptist minister who was motivated by his deeply-held
Christian principles to champion (and eventually give up his
life) for the inherent rights each of us possesses from God.
Reverend King changed the world. So can we, by living our
faith in the public sphere without apology or remorse and
always arguing from deeply held faith and moral
convictions, not partisan politics! As is our parish custom,
the rectory will be closed on Monday, January 18th, and
the 5:30 Mass will NOT be celebrated.
Prepare at home
Don’t go into Sunday Mass waiting to get blindsided.
Find out what the readings are going to be beforehand
and read them. They can be found in many places.
Read them before the Mass. Meditate on the readings.
Let Scripture speak to you.

“Hagan lo que El les diga”
Sophia, ChurchMouse
Just thought you would like to hear that we’re saving
more parish money (your generous donations). We
have streamlined the bulk ordering of supplies for
household, janitorial, Breakfast Line and Food Pantry
supplies. In addition, the frame around the green
stained glass window, to the right of the organ, has
just been reinstalled so it can be fully closed and
locked. As well, three parishioners have made
significant donations for the major “Nuts and Bolts”
projects we announced two weeks ago. They are now
FULLY FUNDED. [Hurrah!] There are many other little
(and big) things being done to make better use of the
money you entrust to us for the betterment of our
parish. What a magnanimous parish! Thank you!

New Lectors
La escena de la Palabra de hoy es como un breve manual de
milagros donde se nos indica el papel que Dios hace y el del
ser humano que recibe y se deja hacer. María es la primera
que se da cuenta de la falta de vino y es la primera que
intercede ante Jesús. En el camino del cristiano la Virgen está
siempre atenta a nuestras carencias y necesidades, fijándose
en nuestras cosas para presentarlas ante el Señor. Sólo ella
sabía cuál era el problema y quién lo podía resolver. En
nuestra vida hay muchas personas que son como María, que
interceden ante Dios por nosotros y por nuestras indigencias.
Seguro que en nuestro camino de fe hemos tenido y tenemos
a personas que le hablan a Dios de nosotros y de nuestros
* problemas y dificultades. Tenemos que preocuparnos de las
necesidades y problemas de los demás, de nuestros amigos y
de los que no lo son tanto.
We are happy to announce the parish has three new
lectors: Carol Joyce, Bryce Gama and Greg Connors.
Longtime lector, Stephanie Miller has volunteered to take
over from Melanie Watanabe as LECTOR SCHEDULER.
Thank you.

La respuesta de Jesús es un tanto desconcertante; es como si
el Señor dijese "qué tengo que ver con esto. Esto no es de mi
incumbencia..." y le da la razón de su respuesta: "Mi hora aún
no ha llegado". María le invita a que haga algo, pero Jesús
* esperó al final para hacerlo, cuando ya se había acabado el
vino. En la vida nos pasa otro tanto. Muchas veces sólo al final
de nuestro recorrido y dificultades es cuando vemos la mano
de Dios. Un aspecto importante es la respuesta que da María:
"Hagan lo que Él les diga". Quienes esperan un favor o un
milagro de Cristo han de estar dispuestos a cumplir sus
órdenes. Muchos milagros no se realizan en la vida de las
personas porque viven más que sordos a las indicaciones de
Dios. El hacer lo que Él dice es mostrarnos el camino para
llegar al buen resultado de nuestra vida. La fidelidad de Dios
es la garantía de que no nos dejará nunca solos. Quienes
cumplieron fielmente sus indicaciones fueron los que
colaboraron en el milagro.
