As we celebrate the epiphania, the “appearing” of the eternal Word of God on earth, this is still true. What rapturous foresight must have filled Isaiah as he wrote the words we hear today. How, for four hundred years, they must have filled the hearts of the people of Israel with hope for the day when God’s glory would shine on them. How deceived some must have felt when the glory of God came to them in the lowliest and humblest of human lives. We have many expectations about how the divine presence will appear among us. But we can also set ourselves up, through these expectations, to miss the divine glory when it truly appears. We get caught up in looking for the star, forgetting that the star is not the divine sign, the babe is. It may take a persistent journey for us to come upon the true appearance of God’s glory in our lives: Jesus Christ. Copyright © J. S.

Al celebrar la epifanía, la manifestación del Verbo de Dios eterno en la erra, el refrán sigue siendo cierto. ¡Qué sublime premonición debe haber sen do Isaías al escribir las palabras que hoy escuchamos! Por cuatrocientos años, cómo habrán llenado los corazones del pueblo de Israel con esperanzas de que llegaría el día en que la gloria de Dios se derramaría sobre ellos. ¡Qué desilusionados deben haberse sen do algunos cuando la gloria de Dios les llegó en una vida humana de las más bajas y humildes! Tenemos muchas expecta vas de cómo la presencia divina va a manifestarse entre nosotros. Pero también podemos exponernos, por culpa de esas expecta vas, a perder de vista la gloria divina cuando se nos aparece de verdad. Nos entretenemos buscando la estrella, y nos olvidamos que la estrella no es la señal divina, sino el bebé. Puede que tengamos que persis r en el camino antes de llegar a encontrarnos con la apariencia real de la gloria de Dios en nuestra vida: Jesucristo. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. La Epifanía del Señor En este Año Jubilar de la Misericorida, la Epifanía celebra la misericordia de Dios brillando sobre los reyes magos desde la estrella que los guía. Sus reinos estaban muy lejos de Jerusalén, sus religiones muy lejos de la alianza de Dios con Israel. Al principio la estrella guió a los magos a Jerusalén en donde ellos podrían “recalcular” su búsqueda con la ayuda del propio “GPS” de Dios, las Escrituras judías. Que humilde y consternado debió ser el momento en que los magos vieron al Mesías del mundo no en un palacio sino con una pareja pobre en un pueblito insignificante. Ahí es donde está la misericordia de Dios, brillando en la estrella que guió a los magos a adorar a Jesús, el Príncipe de la Paz. Hoy los reyes magos nos invitan a “recalcular” nuestro camino de vida durante este Año Jubilar, siguiendo la estrella de la misericordia de Dios a lo largo del camino de amor humilde, para descubrir una relación personal renovada con Jesús hacia nosotros mismos para que podamos convertirnos “estrellas guías” dirigiendo también a otros buscadores a encontrar a Jesús LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: 1 Jn 3:22 — 4:6; Sal 2:7bc8, 10-12a; Mt 4:12-17, 23-25 Martes: 1 Jn 4:7-10; Sal 72 (71): 1-4, 7-8; Mc 6:34-44 Miércoles: 1 Jn 4:11-18; Sal 72 (71): 1-2, 10, 12-13; Mc 6:45-52 ESTA MISA ES OFRECIDA POR ELETERNO DESCANSO Abelardo Lara-Alfaro Estudio Biblico y Rito Iniciación Cristiana de Adultos (RCIA) A Journey Through the Bible Un Recorrido por la Biblia Hora: 6:30pm 6 de enero 2016 - Familia Rober ts (910) 916-0275 (910) 221-7764 3 de febrero 2016 Familia Damian-Lastra (850) 533-9780 Cena Internacional PANFLETOS: Tenemos panfletos con información sobre la misa, todos los servicios y actividades Sábado,09 de enero 2016 6:30 PM Gimnasio del Centro Parroquial Actividades y premios Entrentenimiento POR FAVOR TRAIGA SU PLATO FAVORITO PARA COMPARTIR Jueves: 1 Jn 4:19 — 5:4; Sal 72 (71):1-2, 14, 15bc, 17; Lc 4:14-22a Convivio Mensual Necesitamos familias - una para cada mes del año para ser anfitriones de esta bonita ac vidad ACTIVIDADES DEL MINISTERIO HISPANO Viernes: 1 Jn 5:5-13; Sal 147:12-15, 19-20; Lc 5:12-16 VIERNES Sábado: 1 Jn 5:14-21; Sal 149:1-6a, 9b; Jn 3:22-30 4TO JUEVES 6:00 pm 21 enero 2016 Clase de Bau simo en el PLC Domingo: Is 42:1-4, 6-7 o Is 40:1-5, 9-11; Sal 29 (28):1-4, 3, 9-10 o Sal 104 (103):1b-4, 24-25, 27-30; Hch 10: 34-38 o Tit 2:11-14; 3:4-7; Lc 3:15-16, 21-22 9:00 am Adoración al San simo hasta el sábado a las 8:00 am en la capilla SÁBADOS 8:00 pm 6 febrero Convivio Mensual 09 ENERO 2016 5:30 Misa Bilingue (No Habra Misa a las 7:00 PM) 13 ENERO 2016 6:00 pm Reunion del Equipo Litugico y ac vidades con el Padre Will 09 FEB 2016 6:30 pm Fiesta - Martes de Carnaval en el Centro Parroquial
