Welcome the Visiting Madonna
While we are encouraged to embrace Jesus’ cross,
perhaps the next best thing we can do as the faithful is to
turn to the Blessed Mother for guidance…”Blessed Mother,
please help me.” As human beings, we can’t do everything.
But the Blessed Mother can go to her Son Jesus and do
wonders.
The Knights of Columbus are offering intimate prayer devotions in
your own homes to all parishioners so that every family may
experience visitation for one week from our Visiting Madonna.
Families will begin to experience a sense of peace, quiet and
reflection while saying the Rosary as a family with Our Lady. The
family that prays together stays together. If you are interested in
participating in welcoming the Visiting Madonna, please call Sam
Konrad at (843) 399-7003 or email him at [email protected].
This week, The Visiting Madonna will be presented to
Fred & Donna Pitre at the 8:00 AM Mass.

R.C.I.A.
The Rite of Christian Initiation
of Adults
The R.C.I.A. is a process of spiritual
conversion and growth, over time, in one’s
relationship with God and the Church.
It is a faith journey where adults are fully welcomed into the
Catholic Church. If you’re interested in exploring a relationship
with Jesus Christ; inquiring about the Catholic Church;
becoming Catholic; and being fully initiated into the Catholic
Church through the celebration of the Sacraments of Baptism,
Confirmation & Eucharist,
WE WELCOME YOU!
For more information about the R.C.I.A. process, please
contact Deacon Bob at the Church Office.

LA EPIFANIA DEL SEÑOR
LA EPIFANIA DEL SEÑOR
(San Mateo 2, 1-12)
Queridos Hermanos:
Este Domingo celebramos con gran gozo la Fiesta de la Epifanía del Señor y
los Reyes Magos. En esta Gran Fiesta podemos ver varias actitudes
diferentes: -Israel su pueblo, rechaza a Jesús, mientras que los paganos lo
reconocen como El Hijo de Dios. Estos Reyes Magos venidos de diferentes
lugares, buscan al Recién Nacido para adorarlo, dando cumplimiento a los
oráculos de los Profetas del Antiguo Testamento, según los cuales, los
pueblos gentiles le rendirían homenaje al Mesías, el Señor. -Los Reyes
Magos sienten alegría, se ponen en marcha para visitar al Niño Jesús como
Rey de los judíos; se arrodillan delante de El, y lo adoran. Mientras
Herodes, Jerusalén, Los Sumos Sacerdotes y Maestros de La Ley, se
muestran indiferentes y enojados ante esta Gran Noticia, planeando inmediatamente la muerte de Aquel Niño
Rey. -Así queda prefigurado, el rechazo de Israel a Jesús y el destino universal del Evangelio.
El Mensaje de Los Reyes Magos es claro, profundo y conciso: La Salvación que trae Jesucristo es para toda la
humanidad. La Salvación de Jesús no tiene fronteras. Por eso; esta Gran Fiesta se llama: La Epifanía del
Señor, es decir, La Manifestación de Dios a toda la humanidad. Por lo tanto; estamos invitados a quitar toda
clase de divisiones, distancias y fronteras que haya entre nosotros; para que así, seamos la Gran Familia de
Dios. En Jesucristo se cumple la profecía de Isaías: "El pueblo que caminaba en tinieblas, vió una gran luz,
quienes habitaban en sombra de muerte, una gran luz resplandeció sobre ellos". Ojalá, en nuestro diario vivir, no
perdamos nunca la capacidad, de estar abiertos a toda luz que ilumine nuestra existencia, a toda llamada que
pueda dar profundidad a nuestra vida. Ojalá, ninguna buena noticia de justicia y solidaridad, nos turbe y nos
sobresalte, ni pase desapercibida. Ojalá, las oscuridades de la vida, no nos detengan ni nos desvíen, de esa gran
luz que ilumina a todo hombre: Jesucristo.
La fe cristiana, es ante todo, descubrimiento de la bondad de Dios, experiencia agradecida, de que solamente
Dios salva. El gesto de adoración de los Reyes Magos ante el Niño de Belén, expresa la primera actitud que
debe tener todo creyente en Dios. Adorar a Dios, significa el máximo culto que se le rinde a El, como Señor de
todo, ser agradecidos por tantas bendiciones y favores que continuamente recibimos de El. Frente a un Dios, de
quién sabemos que es Amor, no nos queda de otra, sino rendirle adoración, culto y acción de gracias. Por
encima de todo lo que somos, de todo lo que nos suceda, sea bueno o malo; está el Amor de Dios, Quien nos da
una voz de esperanza y consuelo, y nos hace observar más allá de nuestros sentidos.
Al comenzar este Año Nuevo; pidámosle a María Santísima, para que Ella, nos ayude a ser siempre optimistas,
alegres y felices, como diría el Papa Francisco: "Vivamos la alegría
del Evangelio".
Feliz Año Nuevo 2016.
Dios los bendiga.
Padre Orlando.
