A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE Really, you did! You brought gifts to the Christ Epiphany The Magi in today’s gospel were led to Jesus by a star. Who are the stars your children follow? Don’t let it be the tabloid stars. Resolve in this New Year to be the guiding star in the life of your children. We continue the celebration of the Christmas Season this week with the great Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord. Today we proclaim once again from the Gospel of Matthew and hear how magi from the east followed the star seeking the “newborn king of the Jews.” (Matt 2:1). The magi carried gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. Allow me to thank you for the gifts you offered our newborn Savior this year. You may think: “Wait a second Father, you must be mistaken.” I’m not a child, disguised in the faces of the children in our parish. I was privileged to witness the joy on the faces of the children and parents, knowing they are loved. Our Pope Francis Food Pantry distributed over 300 bags of groceries to families in December and every day the Good Shepherd Dining Room feeds over 100 hungry men, women and children. Once again, these are gifts for Jesus, present in those who are hungry. (Matthew 25). You see, Our Lord is not seeking gold, frankincense or myrrh from you. In this Year of Mercy Christ wants your heart. He wants you to know how much the Father loves you and extends to you His mercy and compassion. Our Lord is asking you to be Ministers of Mercy here in our community. Thank you for sharing you gifts with those in need. Happy New Year, Fr. Vince EPIPHANY OF THE LORD "... the Gentiles are fellow heirs, of the same body, and partakers of the promise in Christ Jesus through the Gospel" (Eph 3: 6) Today we celebrate that Christ came for all of us, not only for Jews. He made us one body with Him. We have received various gifts. All have different roles to play in the Body of Christ, but all equally valuable. Ask God wants you to use your gifts so that "we are one" with Him in this year of mercy. Page 3 January 3rd, 2016 The Epiphany of the Lord PARISH NEWS… P.R.E.P.

St. Teresa of Avila Church Basement Page 4 January 3rd, 2016 The Epiphany of the Lord Del Escritorio del Pastor LOS REGALOS DE LOS REYES MAGOS... Continuamos la celebración de la temporada de Navidad esta semana con la gran fiesta de la Epifanía del Señor. Hoy proclamamos una vez más en el Evangelio de Mateo y escuchamos cómo Reyes Magos de Oriente siguieron la estrella buscando al "recién nacido rey de los Judíos." (Mateo 2: 1). Los magos llevaron regalos de oro, incienso y mirra. Permítame que les dé las gracias por los dones que tu ofreces a nuestro nuevo salvador nacido este año. Usted puede pensar: "Espera un segundo padre, debe estar equivocado." Yo no soy un 'rey' o un 'mago', y yo ciertamente no traje oro, incienso o mirra al pesebre" Pero lo hiciste! Realmente, lo hiciste! Trajiste regalos al niño Jesús, disfrazado con los rostros de los niños de nuestra parroquia. Tuve el privilegio de ser testigo de la alegría en los rostros de los niños y los padres, a sabiendas de que son amados. Nuestra dispensa de comida Papa Francisco distribuido más de 300 bolsas de alimentos a las familias en diciembre y todos los días el Comedor del Buen Pastor alimenta más de 100 hambrientos hombres, mujeres y niños. Una vez más, estos son regalos para Jesús, presente en aquellos que tienen hambre. (Mateo 25). Usted ve, Nuestro Señor no está buscando oro, incienso o mirra de usted. En este Año de la Misericordia Cristo quiere tu corazón. Él quiere que sepas lo mucho que el Padre te ama y se extiende hasta que su misericordia y compasión. Nuestro Señor os está pidiendo ser ministros de la Misericordia aquí en nuestra comunidad. Gracias a usted por compartir los regalos con los necesitados. Feliz Año Nuevo, Padre Vince UNA PERSPECTIVA DE FAMILIA Epifanía Los Mago en el evangelio de hoy fueron guiados a Jesús por la estrella. ¿Quiénes son las estrellas que hoy tus niños siguen? No dejes que sean las celebridades sus estrellas. Resuelve en este Año Nuevo ser tú la Estrella que guía en la vida de tus niños. EPIFANIA DE NUESTRO SEÑOR "...los Gentiles son coherederos, miembros del mismo cuerpo, y coparticipes en la promesa de Cristo Jesús a través del Evangelio" (Efesios 3:6) Hoy celebramos que Cristo vino para todos nosotros, no solo para los hebreos. Él nos hizo un solo cuerpo con El. Nosotros hemos recibido diferentes dones; todos tenemos diferentes funciones que desempeñar en el Cuerpo de Cristo, pero todas igualmente valiosas. Pregúntale a Dios como quiere que uses tus dones de forma tal que "seamos uno" con Él en este Año de Misericordia.

The world was a playground for Mickey, a naive Irish American kid bored with his life. His father served in World War II, his brother was a Marine in Vietnam; now it was his turn. His 365 days in Vietnam builds in torment until an attack on a bunker complex in Cambodia. Wounded, his friend captured, he becomes a tormented survivor knowing he is always just a heartbeat from death. C40281 (JA) - Holy Cross, Bridgeton AVAILABLE NOW!
