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).

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).

¿SABIA USTED?
Esté prevenido de amistades en Internet
Puede parecer que los adolescentes de hoy están
siempre en Internet, con mensajes constantes y
compartiendo en las redes sociales con una gran
audiencia. La Internet es un gran lugar para
conocer gente, pero estas reuniones vienen con
peligros potenciales que ponen en riesgo a los
niños y adolescentes. Usted no sabe con quién está
hablando en línea realmente. Ponga atención a los
sitios que sus niños visitan en computadoras y
aparatos móviles. Haga preguntas sobre con
quienes se comunican y qué información proveen a
sus amigos en línea. Para una copia del artículo

Be wary of online friendships
Today’s teens may seem to be always online, with
constant messaging and sharing on social media
with a large audience. The internet is a great place
to meet people, but these meetings come with potential dangers that can put kids and teens at risk.
You don’t know who you’re really talking to
online. Pay attention to the sites your kids on computers and mobile devices. Monitor the sites that
they visit and ask questions about who they talk to
and what information they provide to their online
friends. For a copy of the VIRTUS® article

ELECTRIC CANDLE RACKS
During the next several weeks, you will notice a new
addition in our church. We will install new electronic
devotional candle racks in the side chapel of the Statue
of Sacred Heart. Many of our parishioners have expressed a desire to have the candles for devotional
purposes. We choose electric over wax or petroleum
based candles for very good reasons. Burning open
flame candles are a health hazard and result in smoke
damage and discoloration of the interior of the church.
Also in many instances Insurance Companies are adding hefty premiums to any location burning open
flame candles. The new electronic candles are very
traditional in appearance and the symbolism behind
the electric candle remains the same.
The Smartlite Candles are designed with the latest microchip technology and are very simple to use---Just
press the top of the candle cover and the candle lights.
This new technology allows the candles to operate in
both VOTIVE and MEMORIAL. The VOTIVE mode
is the normal function of lighting a candle for a specified time while the MEMORIAL mode is an extended
time period. MEMORIAL candles are offered in
memory of a deceased beloved or simply dedicated on
behalf of a family or as a special thanksgiving.
A memorial plaque is inscribed on the candle cover to
indicate the purpose.
Parishioners can purchase a MEMORIAL candle on
an annual basis, 5 year or 10 year time frame or as an
eternal flame. For inquiries, please contact our Pastor
at (626) 794-2046 x 335.
TURNING THE TIDE
When everything goes against you, till it
seems as though you could not hold on a
minute longer, never give up then, for that is just the place
and time that the tide will turn.
--Harriet Beecher Stowe
“TUESDAYS’ TALK SHOW”
In the spirit of the Jubilee Year of Mercy, our Parish Evangelization Team invites everyone to join us in a series of “Talk
Show” about different topics relating to mercy and compassion as outlined by the Holy Father, Pope Francis I. The meetings will be hands on with subject matters relating to all. These
evenings will happen every 4th Tuesday of the month, beginning January 2016 in the Ministry Center at 7:00 PM. Stay
tuned for more information regarding this matter.
