Jubilee Year of Mercy
The Baptism of the Lord
Our Parish Centennial Corner
Our attention in January is on the Catholic Academy of
Sunnyvale, a combined school for St. Martin and St. Cyprian
parishes. St. Martin School started in 1953 at the Central Avenue
location while our church was still at the original site, 377 S.
Sunnyvale Ave. Show your support to our school.
Our next Centennial meeting is on January 28th at 6:30 pm!
WHAT’S HAPPENING AT
ST MARTIN’S THIS WEEK
MONDAY
He saved us through the
bath of rebirth
and renewal by the Holy
Spirit.
-- Titus 3:5
MANIFESTING THE SPIRIT
The Christmas season closes this
Sunday with the Baptism of the
Lord. This feast is a sister to last
week's feast of the Epiphany. Each
of them celebrates an "epiphany," or
a manifestation of the Spirit of God
in Jesus--first in his birth, and now at
his baptism.
The divine Spirit is manifested in all
of the scriptures for this feast. Psalm
104 highlights the Spirit of God creating and renewing the earth, while
the reading from Isaiah describes
God restoring Israel. In Luke's account of the baptism of the Lord the
Holy Spirit descends upon Jesus.
And the letter to Titus reminds us
that the Holy Spirit was "richly
poured out" on us also, through the
"bath of rebirth" (Titus 3:5, 6).

TREASURES FROM OUR
TRADITION
Merry Christmas! Share that cheerful greeting with some folks today. They may wonder
if you have had any Elvis sightings lately,
attended Star Trek conventions, or were Cleopatra in a previous lifetime. Despite the
skeptics, today is solidly within the Christmas season. In fact, in some strands of the
Christian tradition it represents the clearest
manifestation of the mystery of the Incarnation. On Christmas Day, for example, the
Gospel reading is the Prologue of John's
Gospel, which reveals the glory of Christ
shining through our humanity precisely in his
baptism.
At any rate, this is an ancient feast, celebrated first in Egypt sixteen centuries ago. More
than most other ancient people, the Egyptians
understood the life-giving properties of water. On this day, they drew water from the
Nile, so central in the history of their people,
and reserved it in honor. Many other places
copied the custom, so that St. John Chrysostom wrote of people in Antioch gathering at
midnight to collect flowing water into vessels
they brought from home since "today there is
a blessing on the water." At home for dinner
tonight, decorate the table with beautiful
bowls of water and white candles, toast one
another with goblets of sparkling water, and
light a Christmas candle in the window one
last time.

10 de Enero de 2016 El Bautismo del Señor
ESPAÑOL/SPANISH
Jubileo de la Misericordia
ʻʻEsquina Centenaria" Nuestra atención en Enero está puesta en nuestra escuela parroquial
“Catholic Academy of Sunnyvale”, un esfuerzo conjunto de las parroquias
de San Martín y San Cipriano. La Escuela San Martín abrió sus puertas
en 1953 en Central Avenue, mientras que nuestra Iglesia permanecía en
nuestra primera dirección de 377 S. Sunnyvale Ave.
Demuestre su apoyo a nuestra escuela parroquial. Necesitamos historiadores, escritores y organizadores….. Comparte tus
talentos, ven a nuestra junta el 28 de Enero a las 6:30 pm! Lo hizo mediante el
bautismo,
que nos regenera y nos
renueva,
por la acción del Espíritu Santo.
-- Tito 3:5
MANIFESTANDO AL ESPÍRITU
El tiempo de Navidad finaliza este
domingo con el Bautismo del Señor.
Esta fiesta es hermana de la fiesta de
la semana pasada, la Epifanía. Cada
una ellas celebra una "epifanía", o
manifestación del Espíritu de Dios
en Jesús --primero en su nacimiento
y ahora en su bautismo.
El Espíritu Divino se manifiesta en
todas las lecturas bíblicas de la fiesta. El Salmo 104 destaca al Espíritu
de Dios que crea y renueva la tierra,
mientras que la lectura de Isaías describe a Dios restaurando a Israel. En
el relato de Lucas del bautismo del
Señor el Espíritu Santo desciende
sobre Jesús. Y la carta a Tito nos
recuerda que el Espíritu Santo
también "derramó con abundancia"
sobre nosotros, el "baño de regeneración" (Tito 3:5, 6).

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
La costumbre del bautismo infantil debe
ser mucho más que un acto social o una
tradición cultural, donde el ropón y los
regalos son más importantes que la doctrina cristiana, y los padrinos se escogen
no por su buen ejemplo sino por su
cuenta bancaria.
Según los Hechos de los Apóstoles, familias enteras se bautizaban cuando el
padre de familia decidía hacerse cristiano. Esta práctica de bautizar, no solo
al nuevo creyente sino también a su mujer y a sus hijos, poco a poco, quedó solo
en bautizar los niños del original
creyente. El mundo en aquel tiempo
estaba basado sobre la familia así como
muchas culturas latinas de hoy.
El bautizo infantil nació en la Iglesia
primitiva y al pasar de los siglos llegó a
transformarse en un rito religioso muy
importante en la catequesis del nuevo
cristiano. El niño viste de ropita blanca
que recuerda la presencia de Cristo en su
alma, se le regala una vela que lo invita
a brillar con la luz de Cristo y se le da
una madrina o un padrino que le enseñará a vivir en Cristo.

DÂNG CÚNG LẦN THỨ HAI
* Jan. 17: Giúp hội St. Vincent de Paul
Bài giảng lễ Hiển Linh của Đức Thánh Cha Phanxicô “… Các đạo sĩ đến từ Phương Đông là những người được
ngôn sứ Isaia nhắc đến trong bài đọc thứ I (x. 60: 1-6):
một cuộc lên đường không bị gián đoạn; trong mọi thời
đại luôn nghe thấy sứ điệp của ánh sao và nhận ra Hài
Nhi, Đấng mặc khải sự dịu dàng của Thiên Chúa. Những
nhà đạo sĩ thời đại luôn được ánh sao soi sáng và họ tìm
thấy con đường để đi vào sự hiện diện của Ngài. Theo truyền thống, những nhà đạo sĩ là các nhà hiền triết,
quan sát tinh tú trên trời, trong bối cảnh văn hóa và tôn
giáo để thấy nơi vì sao mang ý nghĩa và sức mạnh trên
nhân loại. Những nhà đạo sĩ đại diện cho những người
đàn ông và phụ nữ là những người đi tìm kiếm Thiên
Chúa trong các tôn giáo và các nền triết học trên thế giới.
Đó là một cuộc tìm kiếm bất tận. Những nhà đạo sĩ chỉ ra con đường hành trình trong suốt
cuộc đời của chúng ta. Họ tìm ánh sáng sự thật. Như bài
thánh ca phụng vụ Hiển Linh “Lumen requirunt Lumine” nói về kinh nghiệm của họ nhờ bước theo ánh
sáng, họ nhận thấy Ánh Sáng. Họ đặt đời mình trong việc
tìm kiếm Thiên Chúa. Nhìn thấy dấu hiệu của những vì
sao, họ nắm bắt sự điệp của nó và thực hiện một cuộc
hành trình dài. Đó chính là Chúa Thánh Thʵ n đã kêu gọi họ và thúc đẩy
họ làm cuộc lên đường. Trên hành trình này, họ cũng đã
có cu˥˥˧c g˅p g˥˦ cá nhân với Thiên Chúa thật… Chúng ta có thể tự hỏi: Mʵ u nhi˞ m mà Thiên Chúa ʷn dʳ u
là gì? Tôi có thể tìm thấy Ngài ở đâu? Tất cả vấn đề diễn
ra xung quanh chúng ta: trong chiến tranh, nạn bóc lột trẻ
em, tra tấn, buôn bán vũ khí, buôn người … Trong tất cả
những thực tế, nơi những anh chị em đang chịu đựng
những cảnh huống đau khổ. Ở đó ta gặp được Chúa Giêsu
(x Mt 25: 40,45). Các hang đá chỉ cho chúng ta con
đường t˥˩˨ hʭ c˥˧ a Thiên Chúa , vinh quang của Ngài giấu
ẩn trong máng cỏ Bêlem, trên thập tự giá Đồi Sọ, trong
mỗi anh chị em đau khổ xung quanh chúng ta…” January 10, 2016

12th Annual WALK for LIFE
WEST COAST
Because Women Deserve
Better than Abortion
Saturday, January 23rd, 2016
Civic Center Plaza
San Francisco
Rally: 12:30 PM
WalkforLifeWC.com

[email protected]
First is Jesús Emmanuel Acha Martinez,
known everywhere throughout the Spanishspeaking world simply as Emmanuel. Emmanuel came on the music scene in Mexico
in the late 1970’s. By the 1980’s he was arguably the country’s biggest star.
Obianuju Ekeocha, founder and pr esident
of Culture of Life Africa. Obianuju has advised almost 20 African bishops on women’s
and life issues, has met with Pope Francis,
and co-authored two declarations with African bishops promoting the gospel of life in
Africa.
David Daleiden, one of the young activists
who are changing the face of the pro-life
movement, David founded the Center for
Medical Progress in 2013. In 2015 he
shocked the conscience of America with his
ongoing series of videos documenting
Planned Parenthood’s trafficking in the body
parts of aborted children. His exposé provoked members of congress and of state
legislatures into ongoing attempts to revoke
public funding for the nation’s largest abortionist.
Alveda King, who will be intr oduced
by Fr. Frank Pavone, will lead the opening
prayer of the rally. San Francisco’s Archbishop Salvatore Cordileone will
present Gianna Molla Award to Mother
Agnes of the Sisters of Life.
Come join us!
¡La leyenda de la
Música Latina,
EMMANUEL
se unira a la caminata por la
Vida de la Costa Oeste!
¡El 23 de enero del 2016 San Francisco será
la sede de la 12ava Caminata Anual por la
Vida de la Costa Oeste! La Caminata de este
año estará acompañada por la leyenda de la
música latinoamericana Emmanuel. El
baladista mexicano pro-vida, que ha tenido
más de 20 canciones de éxito desde la década
de 1980, será uno de los oradores en el Caminata, que se celebrara a las 12:30 de la tarde
en la Plaza del Centro Cívico de San Francisco. Emmanuel estará acompañado por el
arzobispo Salvatore Cordileone y sus hermanos obispos de California, Uju Ekeocha,
de la Cultura de la Vida de África, y el reverendo Clenard Childress, director
de blackgenocide.org.
Después de la reunión, a las 1:30 pm, comenzará la caminata, caminando por la calle
Market. Se espera la participación de decenas
de miles de gente pacífica pro-vida.
Desde el 2005 la Caminata por la Vida de la
Costa Oeste ha compartido el mensaje de
esperanza, amor y vida en la ciudad más anti
-vida del país. Tenemos el honor de compartir este mensaje ante a una oposición caustica. Este año, la conciencia de América se
agitó por los videos horribles de representantes de Planned Parenthood, discutiendo
y bromeando sobre la venta de partes del
cuerpo de los cadáveres de bebés abortados.
Que estas cosas inhumanas e inescrupulosas
puedan suceder en nuestra sociedad fortalece
nuestra determinación. No descansaremos,
no vamos a desfallecer, hasta que la práctica
inaceptable del aborto legal se erradique de
nuestra sociedad.
Por favor, visite nuestra página de “eventos”
para aprender sobre otros eventos.
El cantante Emmanuel exhorta a defender los
valores y principios de la defensa de la vida.
