the epiphany of the lord - St. Rose of Lima Catholic Church
Transcripción
THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD JANUARY 3, 2016 LOOKING IN THE RIGHT PLACES “Appearances can be deceiving,” as the saying goes. As we celebrate the Epiphany, 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. Paluch Co.

Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you. — Isaiah 60:1 XV CLASSES! If you plan on celebrating your XV Anos Thanksgiving Mass, please contact the parish office ASAP. We need to know who will attend the classes. Classes will start soon! Thank you! “Chalking The Door” is a way to celebrate and literally mark the occasion of the Epiphany and God’s blessing of our lives and home. With time the chalk will fade. As it does, we let the meaning of the symbols written sink into the depths of our heart and be manifest in our words and actions. A traditional way of doing this is to use chalk (it can be blessed) to write above the home’s entrance, 20 + C + M + B + 16. The letters C, M, B have two meanings. They are the initials of the traditional names of the three magi: Caspar, Melchior, and Balthazar. They also abbreviate the Latin words Christus mansionem benedicat, “May Christ bless the house.” The “+” signs represent the cross and 2016 is the year. LOST & FOUND Please check the lost and found, located in the vestibule. There are lots of items! In order to keep the church looking tidy, all items will be donated to local charities at the end of each month. Don’t forget! There IS RELIGIOUS EDUCATION this week. See you there! CONTRIBUTION REPORTS If you will need a report for tax time with a list of contributions made for 2015, please contact the office. We will have them printed as soon as possible.

The Ephrata Food Bank and the Soap Lake Food Bank would like to extend a very big thank you to all who donated for the giving tree this year.

Al celebrar la epifanía, la manifestacion del Verbo de Dios eterno en la tierra, el refran sigue siendo cierto. ¡Que sublime premonicion debe haber sentido Isaías al escribir las palabras que hoy escuchamos! Por cuatrocientos anos, como habran llenado los corazones del pueblo de Israel con esperanzas de que llegaría el día en que la gloria de Dios se derramaría sobre ellos. ¡Que desilusionados deben haberse sentido algunos cuando la gloria de Dios les llego en una vida humana de las mas bajas y humildes! Tenemos muchas expectativas de como la presencia divina va a manifestarse entre nosotros. Pero tambien podemos exponernos, por culpa de esas expectativas, 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 senal divina, sino el bebe. Puede que tengamos que persistir en el camino antes de llegar a encontrarnos con la apariencia real de la gloria de Dios en nuestra vida: Jesucristo. 8:40AM 9:00AM 12:00PM 6:20PM Miércoles, Enero 6 Beato André Bessette ROSARIO, Capilla SERVICIO DE COMUNION, Capilla ADORACION(12pm—4pm), Capilla Educacion Religiosa (grados K-8), Gimnasio Escolar Jueves, Enero 7 San Raimundo de Peñafort; La Natividad del Señor en el calendario juliano 9:00AM SERVICIO DE ORACION, Escuela Viernes, Enero 8 8:40AM ROSARIO, Capilla 9:00AM MISA, Intencion Especial, Capilla Copyright © J.

Si planeas celebrar tu Misa de Accion de Gracias de XV Anos, por favor ponte en contacto con la oficina parroquial lo mas pronto posible. Necesitamos saber quien va a asistir a las clases. Las clases comenzaran pronto! ¡Gracias! "Poniendo Gis en la Puerta" es una manera de celebrar y literal- mente marcar la ocasion de la Epifanía y la bendicion de nuestras vidas y la casa de Dios. Con el tiempo el gis se desvanecera. Igual nosotros dejamos que el significado de los símbolos sea escrita en las profundidades de nuestro corazon y ser manifestado en nuestras palabras y acciones. Una forma tradicional de hacer esto es utilizar gis (pude ser bendecido) para escribir por encima de la entrada de la casa, 20 + G + M + B + 16. Las letras G, M, B tienen un significado. Son las iniciales de los nombres tradicionales de los tres Reyes Magos: Gaspar, Melchor y Baltasar. Tambien son relacionados al frase en latín Christus mansionem benedicat." Que Cristo bendiga la casa." Los signos "+" representan la cruz y 2016 es el ano. CAJA DE COSAS OLVIDADAS Por favor fije en la caja de las cosas perdidas, ubicada en el vestíbulo. Hay un monton de artículos! Para mantener a la iglesia limpia, todos los artículos seran donados a organizaciones de caridad locales al final de cada mes. No se les olvide! Si habra clases de educacion religiosa esta semana!! REPORTES DE CONTRIBUCIÓNES Si se necesita un reporte para la temporada de impuestos con una lista de las donaciones realizadas para el 2015, por favor pongase en contacto con la oficina. Vamos a tenerlos listos tan pronto como sea posible. Gracias por su generosidad al donar a la Iglesia de Santa Rosa! ¡GRACIAS! El Banco de Comida de Ephrata y de Soap Lake gustarían extender un gran agradecimiento a todos los que donaron para el arbol de regalos este ano. Nosotros, como familia parroquial dono una cantidad fantastica de regalos! Muchas gracias por ayudar con la propagacion del amor de Cristo este ano con los menos afortunados.
