Welcome the Visiting Madonna
While we are encouraged to embrace Jesus’ cross,
perhaps the next best thing we can do as the faithful
is to turn to the Blessed Mother for
guidance…”Blessed Mother, please help me.” As
human beings, we can’t do everything. But the
Blessed Mother can go to her Son Jesus and do
wonders.
The Knights of Columbus are offering intimate
prayer devotions in your own homes to all parishioners so that
every family may experience visitation for one week from our
Visiting Madonna. Families will begin to experience a sense of
peace, quiet and reflection while saying the Rosary as a family
with Our Lady. The family that prays together stays together. If
you are interested in participating in welcoming the Visiting
Madonna, please call Sam Konrad at (843) 399-7003 or email
him at [email protected].
This week, The Visiting Madonna will be presented to
Frank & Debbie Burke at the 12:00 Noon Mass.

The R.C.I.A. is a process of spiritual conversion and growth,
over time, in one’s relationship with God and the Church.
It is a faith journey where adults are fully welcomed into the
Catholic Church. If you’re interested in exploring a relationship
with Jesus Christ; inquiring about the Catholic Church;
becoming Catholic; and being fully initiated into the Catholic
Church through the celebration of the Sacraments of Baptism,
Confirmation & Eucharist,
WE WELCOME YOU!
For more information about the R.C.I.A. process, please

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
This year we celebrate the important milestone of
50 years of solidarity with the Church in Latin
America and the Caribbean. The Church there
faces many challenges, including lack of access to
resources the faithful need to nourish their spiritual
lives. Often, there are too few priests to meet the
needs of the many communities they serve, or the communities
themselves are simply too isolated to have access to other
important resources for the faith. Strategies to train and support
evangelization leaders are vital to reach those who are
disconnected from the life and mission of the Church.
For the past 50 years, the United States Conference of Catholic
Bishops through its Subcommittee on the Church in Latin
America has helped 25 countries in Central and South America
as well as the Caribbean confront challenges to the faith. With
your help and the support of the Catholic faithful, we have
helped develop evangelization and catechetical programs. We
have also funded activities that promote an encounter with Jesus
Christ, so that the faithful can become missionary disciples.
For example, in the Diocese of Garzon, Colombia, the parish of
Our Lady of Guadalupe is blessed with a large community;
however, there are only a few priests to address its many needs.
Through a grant from the Collection for the Church in Latin
America, the parish was able to train pastoral and evangelization
leaders for the parish community. These leaders participated in
formation on leadership and teaching catechesis, as well as in
spiritual retreats, so they could reach out to the larger
community. The parish also created “Catholic Faith” kits to aid
in evangelization and teaching catechesis to those in the
community. Through this project, the parish was able to achieve
its goal of creating an evangelization program that can reach the
3,700 families of the parish.
This collection will be taken up the weekend of January 17th.
Please be generous in this collection, and take this opportunity to
share your faith with families in Latin America and the
Caribbean. Your support will truly make a difference. Thank you
and God bless you for your generosity.

EL BAUTISMO DEL SEÑOR
EL BAUTISMO DE JESUS
(San Lucas 3,15-22).
Queridos Hermanos:
Este Domingo celebramos la Fiesta del Bautismo de Jesús. Pero recordemos que el
bautismo que recibió Jesús no fue el Sacramento del Bautismo que hoy
conocemos. Pues Jesús en ese momento, no comenzaba su predicación pública y por
lo tanto, El no había instituido ningún Sacramento todavía. Lo que recibió Jesús en
el río Jordán fue un rito judío: bautismo de purificación y conversión. Es decir, Jesús
hizo parte de una cultura y de unas costumbres; El participó en el destino de la
humanidad pecadora, pero jamás conoció pecado alguno. Jesús es Dios, por eso, El
no tiene pecado. Jesús se presenta como miembro de la humanidad, antes de que se
escuche aquella Voz del Cielo que dice: "Este es mi Hijo Amado escúchenlo". El Espíritu Santo, descendió y
se posó sobre El, en forma de paloma. Podemos ver claramente la manifestación de Dios: -Voz del cielo:
Padre. -Espíritu Santo: En forma de paloma. - Jesucristo: Quien recibe el "bautismo".
A partir de este gran acontecimiento, Jesucristo comienza su predicación. Pero El, será muy diferente a los
demás predicadores se su época. Por lo tanto; podemos decir de El: Este hombre llamado Jesús, que se acerca
y acoge a los pecadores, que come y comparte con prostitutas, borrachos y publicanos; es el Hijos de Dios. El
es el Mesías, el Señor.
Muchas personas que un día fueron bautizadas, quizá hoy no saben exactamente cuál debe ser su actitud frente
a la fe. Quizá "Dios no les ha dicho nada", se han acostumbrado a vivir sin El, no sienten vacío alguno; han
abandonado la fe y "todo marcha bien o mejor que antes". Esta actitud de duda y abandono es posible,
solamente cuando se ha recibido un "bautismo de agua"; pero no han descubierto lo que significa recibir un
"Bautismo en el Espíritu Santo". Cuando se continúa viviendo equivocadamente, pensando que tener fe es
creer en una serie de cosas extrañas, sencillamente no ha tenido esa experiencia viva de Dios.
Por lo tanto; es necesario abrirnos a la acción del Espíritu Santo, sentir que todos quienes hemos sido
bautizados hemos recibido al Espíritu Santo.
La sociedad actual, quizá no está muy abierta al Espíritu Santo. Podemos ser testigos que muchos se abren y
acuden más a la acción de la parasicología, la astrología, el tarot, el ocultismo, el horóscopo, la santa muerte,
las limpias y otras estupideces que acaban con la vida de las personas. La fe, ha sido sustituida por la
superstición y cosas demoniacas. Cuando una persona no se abre a la acción de Dios para invocar la asistencia
del espíritu Santo; entonces fácilmente cae en las garras del demonio.
Es importante que al comenzar este nuevo año, renovemos nuestra vida espiritual, abriéndonos a la acción de
Dios, pidiendo siempre la iluminación del Espíritu Santo e imitando siempre a Jesucristo en nuestra vida diaria.
Pidámosle a la Virgen María, para que Ella, nos ayude a renovar nuestro Bautismo
todos los días, escuchando la voz de Dios Padre, permitiendo que el Espíritu Santo
descienda sobre nosotros, para poder seguir siempre las huellas de Jesucristo.
Dios los bendiga.
Padre Orlando.

LA PRÓXIMA SEMANA REALIZAREMOS LA
COLECTA PARA LA IGLESIA EN AMÉRICA LATINA.
En Perú, los 14 pueblos de
Chazuta, en Moyobamba, están
ubicados lejos del centro de la
ciudad y los más remotos son
accesibles solo por barco.
Los fieles en estas comunidades
no tienen acceso a una
formación catequética y los
feligreses con frecuencia se
sienten separados de la vida de
la Iglesia universal.
Mediante una donación de la
Colecta para la Iglesia en América Latina, a la congregación
religiosa de los Misioneros de Jesús le fue posible brindar
formación en la fe, retiros espirituales y talleres a casi 250
personas. Al completar el programa, los participantes estaban
mejor capacitados para ayudar a otros en la fe y responder a
sus preguntas.
El programa también sirvió para renovar su sentido de
compromiso con sus parroquias y crear vínculos más sólidos
dentro de sus propias familias. Por medio de este programa, los
feligreses de los pueblos de Chazuta sintieron el amor y el
apoyo de la Iglesia universal.
Por favor, dé su apoyo a programas como estos y contribuya
generosamente en la colecta de la próxima semana. Para más
