Sharing the Good News

PROMISE FULFILLED Isaiah reminds the people of God that the land shall be restored to their possession, they shall rejoice to see their people return from the bondage of exile, and they shall be a light to the nations. In other words, through the people of Israel, the Savior shall come to all people who seek God with a sincere heart. This brings joy and the radiance of God's glory to all the world and to all people everywhere. Through the fidelity of the people of God, and through God's fidelity to them, all people shall become God's children and rejoice in the fulfillment of God's promise to Israel. QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK Adults: How have I come to understand who I am in Gods eyes? Children: What special times have I been able to call God my Father, like Jesus?

LORD OF ALL Saint Paul was born and brought up a Jew with an excellent religious education. He expected a Jewish Messiah for the Jews, probably a great leader like King David. Jesus did not fit that profile. Paul was convinced Jesus' followers were deluded and dangerous, so he hunted them down. After his vision of Jesus on the Damascus road, Paul's outlook changed profoundly. He was wrong about Jesus and about Jesus' followers. He was wrong about a Messiah just for the Jews. Remarkably, he could admit that he was wrong! He knew he had been given an insight into the mystery of God's grace, which is universal and unconfined. These convictions took Paul and his companions out into the Mediterranean world on long, dangerous journeys. Jesus was born a Jew in Bethlehem yet, as Risen Lord, he is Lord of all nations and peoples. Paul knew this. It changed his mind. It changed his heart. It changed the world. LIVING STEWARDSHIP NOW What are you doing to bring Christ to others beyond your family and parish? Are you young or an active retiree? Consider becoming a volunteer missionary yourself! Contact Catholic Volunteer Network (catholicvolunteernetwork.org) for opportunities to serve here or overseas. Alternatively, support Catholic Home Missions, which helps to bring the gospel to the poorest and most remote areas of our country. SEOR DE TODOS San Pablo era judo de nacimiento y de crianza, con una educacin religiosa excelente. l esperaba un mesas judo para los judos; probablemente un gran lder como el rey David. Pero sas no eran las descripciones de Jess. Pablo estaba convencido de que los discpulos de Jess estaban engaados y eran peligrosos, por eso los persegua. Despus de ver a Jess en una visin de camino a Damasco, la manera de pensar de Pablo cambi profundamente. l estaba equivocado en cuanto a Jess y los discpulos de Jess. Equivocado en cuanto a que el Mesas vena slo para los judos. Sorprendentemente pudo admitir que estaba equivocado! Saba que se le haba concedido un entendimiento exhaustivo del misterio de la gracia de Dios, la cual es universal y sin restricciones. Estas convicciones llevaron a Pablo y sus compaeros a viajes largos y peligrosos por el Mediterrneo. Jess era judo y naci en Beln, sin embargo, el Seor resucitado, es Seor de todas las naciones y personas. Pablo saba esto y el saberlo le cambi su forma de pensar; le cambi el corazn y cambi el mundo.

Compartiendo La Buena Noticia

PROMESA CUMPLIDA Isaas le recuerda al pueblo de Dios que la tierra ser devuelta a su posesin, se alegrarn de ver a su gente regresar de la esclavitud del exilio y sern una luz para las naciones. En otras palabras, el pueblo de Israel ser la va para que el Salvador venga a todos aquellos que buscan a Dios con un corazn sincero. Esto trae consigo la alegra y el resplandor de la gloria de Dios a todo el mundo y para todas las personas en todas partes. A causa de la fidelidad del pueblo de Dios, y de la fidelidad de Dios para ellos, todos los pueblos sern hijos de Dios y se regocijarn en el cumplimiento de la promesa de Dios a Israel.

Treasures From Our Tradition

Before long, people will be throwing Mardi Gras beads in the streets of New Orleans--purple, gold, and green. A few will be in on the secret: the colors of the beads are derived from the gifts of the magi. Gold for wealth, purple for power, green for good health. The gifts are also a key to the identity of the Christ Child: the incense for God; the gold for a king; the myrrh, fragrant burial ointment for one who comes to die. Centuries ago, today's feast bore the heavy burden of celebrating all the manifestations of Christ's identity: the birth of Jesus, the coming of the magi, the baptism of the Lord, the wedding feast at Cana. It was too much for one day. Fortunately the one day has blossomed into a whole season of grateful celebration, stretching behind us into Advent, and ahead of us into the Baptism of the Lord and to Christ's coming again in glory. Tonight, be sure to light the Christmas lights, and gather at the crche for a favorite carol and a prayer. --James Field

Tradiciones de Nuestra Fe
Melchor, Gaspar y Baltasar son los nombres que la tradicin ha dado a los tres reyes magos. Pero quin dijo que eran tres? Segn San Mateo (Mt 2:1-12) fueron sabios del oriente que trajeron oro, incienso y mirra a Jess. La imaginacin cristiana decidi que cada regalo requera alguien

Contact Fr. Rene Panlasigui, RCJ for information on Vocations: 618-0257

que lo regalara. Se fija as el nmero de sabios en tres. Por ser astrlogos del oriente, tenan que ser magos. Venan buscando al nuevo rey de Israel y fue as que se les da el papel de reyes que representaban los tres continentes conocidos en la poca medieval: Asia, frica y Europa. Ellos tambin representan tres edades humanas: juventud, madurez y vejez. Melchor (rey de la luz), fue un anciano europeo que obsequi oro al Rey Jess; Gaspar (tesorero) fue un joven asitico que regal incienso al Nio Dios y Baltasar (dios proteja al rey) fue un hombre africano que don mirra al Hijo del Hombre. Hoy da habra que incluir una nia americana y una adolescente australiana a la lista de reyes magos. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM

cional para Promover las Vocaciones. Mientras conmemoramos que Jess, la Segunda Persona de la Trinidad, se hizo carne y lleg a ser un humano como nosotros en todas las cosas menos el pecado, reconocemos en nuestro propio Bautismo una llamada a la santidad, una llamada para ser un testigo autntico y verdadero de Cristo presente en el mundo de hoy. Mientras nos esforzamos por cumplir esta llamada a la santidad, nos esforzamos por vivir una vida de virtud que nos llevar a una felicidad verdadera que nunca desteir.

Oracin por las Vocaciones

Dios de Amor, Tu muestras tu favor hacia nosotros y nos das tu gracia en el Bautismo. Bendcenos con valor para llevar a cabo la misin de Jess. Concdenos corazones abiertos y generosos para que viendo las necesidades de los dems respondamos con compasin. Que la Iglesia sea bendecida con mujeres y hombres que se dedican a Ti en el matrimonio, la vida clibe, el diaconado, el sacerdocio y la vida consagrada. Es en Cristo y por Cristo que nos ofrecemos a Ti ahora y siempre. Amn.

National Vocation Awareness Week

January 9-14, 2012 Tomorrow the Church celebrates the Feast of the baptism of the Lord and we inaugurate our celebration of national Vocation Awareness Week. As we commemorate that Jesus, the Second Person of the Trinity, took on flesh and became a man like us in all things but sin, we recognize in our own Baptism a call to holiness, a call to be an authentic and real witness to Christ present in the world today. As we strive to fulfill this call to holiness, we strive to live a life of virtue which will lead to a true happiness that will never fade. The observance of National Vocation Awareness Week (NVAW) began in 1976 when the National Conference of Catholic Bishops designated the 28th Sunday of the year as the beginning of NVAW. In 1997 this celebration was moved to coincide with the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. Let us pray today and always for the renewal and strengthening of vocations of dedicated people as married and single people, men to serve as priests, deacons, brothers, and women as religious sisters.
