God expects us to nurture and develop the gifts He has
given us. He doesn’t want us to waste or hoard the gifts
He has given us; He expects us to grow our gifts, use
them wisely, and be generous with them.

COLLECTION FOR THE
CHURCH IN LATN AMERICA
On January 23-24 we will take up the Collection for the Church in Latin
America. A lack of priests and trained lay ministers, high emigration rates, and
the alarming pace at which parishioners are leaving the faith make it difficult for
the region’s Church to provide for the faithful. It is more important than ever
that we keep faith with the Church in Latin America and the Caribbean. Please
be generous. Thank you.
SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT
ATTENTION – LADIES OF ST. AMBROSE
CENACLE SILENT LENTEN RETREAT
Once again our parish ladies are invited to attend a retreat at the Cenacle Retreat
House, 420 N. Kirkwood, just off the Katy Freeway on Friday, March 11, 2016,
7:00 p.m. through Sunday, March 13, 2016, 1:30 p.m. Relax under the tall,
serene pine trees of the Cenacle. Enjoy your own private room, home cooked
meals with desserts and even a massage, if you so wish. The days are scheduled
with conferences with our retreat master, Reverend Terry Ryan, CSP, quite time,
private conferences with the Reverend or the Cenacle staff, as well as free time.
The theme of the retreat is “Women I wish I had met”. During this retreat, we
will be hearing about Etty Hillesum, Dorothy Soelle and Elizabeth Leseur. These
20th century women offer insights to experience God that have their roots in the
early Christian mystics—prayer, interior struggle and growth plus reflection on
and response to one’s life circumstances. What do these women have to say to us
today in our relationship with God? Presentations, guided meditations and
handouts for individual prayer and reflection will be used to facilitate this
process.
Rev. Terry Ryan, CSP is a Paulist priest who travels throughout the US offering
workshops, missions, retreats and evening reflections on the contemplative
experience. The great mystics and the spirituality of the 11th step of a 12-step
recovery program all provide the framework for Father Terry’s discussions of the
contemplative experience.

Don’t miss a truly wonderful weekend. Transporation is arranged. Call Juana G.
Sandoval for more information, questions, or reservations at 281-451-4812 or

our musicians who worked so hard for so many hours in preparation and
performing during all the concerts and Holy Masses.
May the Children and their parents be blessed for helping our parish
celebrate the Lord’s birth at the 5:00PM Mass for Christmas Eve. This
was preceeded by carols sung by many children for one hour before
Mass. We began with a guitar choir of boys and girls who sang and
played their beautiful selections for the Infant Lord. They are taught by
their director Mr. Noe. Following this beautiful music were numerous
soloists on Piano, Voice, Guitar, and Violin. These musicians were
William on guitar and voice; Robert Shapero, voice; Julio Aleman, voice;
Amoree Jones, voice; Andrew Galla, violin; Mia Hietpas; piano and voice;
a vocal Quartet including Alan, Julio, Catherine, and Erik. The additional
singers who joined all the above in a Children’s Choir were: Danna

Maria Garcia, and their Aunt, Nicholas Kuciemba, Erin Moore, Marcus
Moore, Mia Esquivel, Tristan Esquivel, Vivian Schulz, Israel Tovar, and
Domenica Sape, and to our Scripture Narrator, Ms. Natalie Grothues who
inspired us with the Word of God.

I was shocked, confused, bewildered
As I entered Heaven's door,
Not by the beauty of it all,
Nor the lights or its decor.
But it was the folks in Heaven
Who made me sputter and gasp—
The thieves, the liars, the sinners,
The alcoholics and the trash.
BINGO

auditorium. Bring your family and neighbors for an evening of fun and
camaraderie. We will be calling one (1) Bonus Ball Number.
SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
Are you looking for ways to experience God? It can be difficult. God is a
spiritual being. How do you experience a “spiritual being”? Members of
the Society of St. Vincent de Paul invite you to share in their ministry of
experiencing God in the poor. Holy Scripture tells us: “the Word became
flesh and lived among us, and we saw His glory, the glory that is His as
the only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.” (The Gospel according
to John, l:14. We see Christ in the poor and when we see Christ we
experience God. You are invited to serve Christ’s poor in our St.
Ambrose Parish. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is inviting caring
people to assist people in our Parish needing food, clothes, rent
assistance, utility assistance and other emergency needs. Please call
the St. Vincent De Paul Office at 713 686-3068 for more information or to
volunteer your services.
There stood the kid from seventh grade
Who swiped my lunch money twice.
Next to him was my old neighbor
Who never said anything nice.
Herb, who I always thought
Was rotting away in hell,
Was sitting pretty on cloud nine,
Looking incredibly well.
I nudged Jesus, “What's the deal?
I would love to hear Your take.
How'd all these sinners get up here?
God must've made a mistake.
“And why is everyone so quiet,
So somber - give me a clue.'
'Hush, child,' He said, 'they're all in shock.
No one thought they'd be seeing you.'
Every saint has a PAST...
Every sinner has a FUTURE!

YEAR OF MERCY
In his opening speech at Vatican II, Saint John XXIII acknowledged that, in
the past, the Church had often acted quite severely toward those who were
outside its gates or who did not follow its teachings. Then he said that today we
prefer to make use of the medicine of mercy rather than that of severity. Indeed
it is now Pope Francis’ hope that we will apply this medicine of mercy toward
those in our parish, especially those who feel they are not loved or who have
struggled to be faithful. The purpose of the Jubilee, one might say, is to help us
all learn again about God’s endless mercy – but also to learn and practice our
own call to be people of mercy, indeed to be a Church of Mercy.
THE BAPTISM OF OUR LORD
Domingo 10 de Enero de 2016
El Bautismo del Señor
Isaias 42,1-4.6-7: Miren a mi siervo, a quien
prefiero
Salmo 28: El Señor bendice a su pueblo con la paz
Hechos 10,34-38: Ungido con la fuerza del
Espíritu Santo
Lucas 3,15-16.21-22: “Tú eres mi hijo querido”
En algunas ocasiones –pocas, por fortuna— he
escuchado decir a ciertas parejas: “A nuestro hijo no lo
vamos a bautizar porque no queremos imponerle nada; mejor,
cuando crezca, que él escoja qué religión quiere tener”. La
verdad es que a mí me causan una grandísima pena quienes
así piensan porque, además de reflejar la poca fe que ellos
mismos tienen y su escasa formación religiosa, hacen ver con
esos comentarios que no tienen ni idea de lo que es realmente
el bautismo. Si dicen que no quieren imponer la fe a sus hijos,
entonces, ¿por qué no les preguntaron también si querían
venir a esta vida o no, si querían nacer o preferían no haber
vivido nunca?
A lo mejor puede sonar esto un poco duro. Pero así es.
Esos padres de familia no se dan cuenta de que, así como la
vida es un don gratuito que se ofrece al hijo, sin condiciones,
sólo por amor, con el bautismo sucede algo bastante
semejante. La fe es un inmenso regalo, un don de Dios de un
valor incalculable, y los padres –si son de verdad cristianos—
consideran que es la mejor herencia que pueden dar a sus
hijos. Es como si un señor muy rico quisiera regalar a un niño
un millón de dólares y sus padres se opusieran rotundamente
dizque para no "obligar" a su hijo a recibir algo sin su
consentimiento. ¿Verdad que sería el absurdo más grande del
mundo, aunque se hiciera en nombre de una supuesta
"libertad"?
Cuentan que san Luis, rey de Francia, cuando alguno
de sus hijos pequeños recibía el bautismo, lo estrechaba con
inmensa alegría entre sus brazos y lo besaba con gran amor,
diciéndole: “¡Querido hijo, hace un momento sólo eras hijo
mío, pero ahora eres también hijo de Dios!”. El apóstol san
Juan se expresa así, con inmensa emoción: "Mirad qué gran
amor nos ha mostrado el Padre para llamarnos hijos de Dios.
¡Y lo somos realmente!" (I Jn 3,2). Y un poco más adelante
dice también: "Quien ha nacido de Dios no peca, porque la
semilla de Dios está en él, y no puede pecar" (I Jn, 3,9).
El Evangelio de hoy nos narra el bautismo de Cristo, y
nos refiere san Lucas que mientras Jesús era bautizado, "se
abrió el cielo, bajó el Espíritu Santo sobre él en forma de
paloma y se dejó oír la voz del Padre que venía del cielo: Tú
eres mi Hijo, el amado, mi predilecto". Es entonces cuando el
Padre da ante el mundo ese maravilloso testimonio a favor de
Cristo, ratifica solemnemente la condición divina de Jesús e
inaugura con su sello la misión que su Hijo estaba para iniciar
sobre la tierra.
Jesús es el Hijo eterno del Padre, el Hijo por
naturaleza, el predilecto por antonomasia. Pero también
nosotros, por una especialísima dignación de Dios y una
predilección de su amor, a través del bautismo, también
quedamos constituidos “hijos en el Hijo” y llegamos a ser
hijos de Dios por adopción.
El bautismo es, pues, el sacramento por el que
nacemos a la vida eterna y el que nos abre las puertas del
cielo. El mismo Juan nos refiere en su evangelio aquellas
profundas palabras que dirigió Jesús a Nicodemo: "En verdad
te digo que quien no naciere del agua y del Espíritu, no podrá
entrar en el reino de los cielos. Lo que nace de la carne, es
carne; pero lo que nace del Espíritu, es espíritu" (Jn 3, 5-6).
Después de las hermosas fiestas navideñas que todos
hemos podido pasar estos días en familia, hoy la Iglesia
quiere celebrando con todos sus hijos la fiesta del bautismo
del Señor. De esta forma, así como Cristo inició su vida
pública con su bautismo, nosotros ahora iniciamos
nuevamente la vida "ordinaria" recordando y reviviendo el
bautismo del Señor.
Pero no es sólo una celebración para iniciar el tiempo
ordinario. La Iglesia, como buena Madre, quiere atraer
nuestra atención hacia las verdades más esenciales y
fundamentales de nuestra vida. Nos remonta hasta los
orígenes de nuestra fe.
