Epiphany of the Lord
Some interesting details to ponder from our readings
today: Isaiah mentions only gold and frankincense
among the gifts that come from all nations. It is Matthew
who adds the gift of myrrh—the symbol of the future
passion and death of the newborn Messiah. The magi
must consult the revelation of faith to find their way to
Bethlehem; their own means are not enough. As we
listen to God’s word now, what details strike you? How
is the Messiah revealed to you today?

Solemnidad de la Epifanía del Señor
He aquí algunos detalles interesantes a considerar en nuestras lecturas de hoy: Isaías sólo
menciona oro e incienso entre los presentes que vinieron de todas las naciones. Es Mateo
el que añade la mirra, el símbolo de la pasión y la muerte en el futuro del Mesías recién
nacido. Los magos deben consultar la revelación de la fe a fin de encontrar el camino hacia Belén; sus propios medios no son suficientes. ¿Qué detalles te resaltan al escuchar la
Palabra de Dios ahora? ¿Cómo se te revela el Mesías hoy?

January Movie Night!
Free Admission!
Our next movie night will be the evening of
Tuesday, January 13. Join us at 6:30 PM for
the Scriptural Rosary, then at 7 PM for pot-luck
dinner and a film!
Bring one or more of your favorite recipes
and be prepared to share some great food! All
food will be supplied by whatever you bring,
so bring plenty!
Our film this time will be “We Have A
Table For Four Ready: The Story of St.
Francis Inn”. This short film is both inviting
and haunting - it transports us into a world
where those who, lose their lives for the sake
of the Gospel, actually find their lives again.
Bring along your children and friends! Note:
