The Columbiettes are a unified body of Catholic women
who work side by side with the Knights of Columbus Councils of which they are affiliated. Columbiettes are Catholic
women, 17 years of age and older, single, widowed or married who enjoy the challenges and satisfaction of making a
difference. Please note that you do not have to be married
to a Knight of Columbus to be eligible. We participate in
programs that brighten the lives of others by doing works
of charity, devotion and the promotion of Catholic values. By being involved we make
long lasting friendships, help our family, church and community and deepen our own
faith. Our Auxiliary meeting is the third Monday of the month beginning at 8:00 pm at
St. Mark the Evangelist Catholic Church.

A Stewardship Reflection on This Sunday’s Readings
The story of the Magi — the Three
Kings — is one of the most endearing and most familiar to all Catholics. Because they brought gifts, it is
also the focus of many stewardship
commentaries. In addition, it may
be one of the more misunderstood
stories around the birth of Jesus.
Epiphany is a word with Greek origins that means “manifestation.”
We celebrate Epiphany because it
represents the realization (related

Food Pantry Needs Your Help!
Our SVDP Food Pantry has been expanded in an attempt to keep
up with the need in our area. The need for donations is greater
than ever. Thank you for your continued support.
Next weekend
Chunky Soup
The next essential element in
parish life is Service.
Just look for the Little Red Wagon on the Piazza before all Masses. Thank you for your
continued support of our food pantry!
If you would like to volunteer to help distribute food at the SVDP food pantry please
go to this web page to check the schedule for Vacant dates:
www.stmarktampa.org/FoodPantrySchedule. Then send an email to:
[email protected] with the Vacant date(s) you would like to volunteer on.
FYI...the nearest SVDP Thrift Store is at 12310 N.
Nebraska Ave in Tampa and the phone # is: (813)977-7057.
CONFIRMATION OF ADULTS
It has been wisely said, "Service is the rent
we pay for our own room on earth." We
should know that the rent is due on a daily basis and know that the receipt is never
stamped "paid in full," because the rent,
service in God's kingdom, is again due today and due tomorrow.
Some mistakenly think that a commitment to service comes after a great spiritual experience. This is like the man who
is cold, standing before the stove, and
saying, "Give me heat, and then I will put
in some wood."

H.E.A.R.T. provides recovery from pregnancy loss due to abortion. Using a recovery
study guide, we look to God and what He promises us; healing and wholeness can return.
Through a group process we will look at: realizing we need healing, acknowledging the
abortion – breaking the shame, forgiveness, accepting God’s grace, allowing yourself to
grieve, self-reconciliation, relationships and ongoing healing. H.E.A.R.T. groups are being
held in the Lutz/North Tampa area. Both women and men can attend. The next group
will begin in late January 2013.

Lighthouse News
Dear St. Mark family,
I thank you for the love and support
you have given, not only to our Youth
Ministry program, but to me personally this year, and to all of our wonderful teens, young adults and adults
on our leadership team.
I ask God for a special blessing to be
upon you and your family during this
holy season.
May your days be filled with the tangible grace and love of the season
and sustain you throughout all of your
life!
Respectfully, yours in Christ,
, MaryAnn
The office of Youth and Young Adult Ministry has started our pilgrimage towards attending the National Catholic Youth Conference; a wonderful, faith filled three day experience to be held in Indianapolis in November of 2013. Just as in the past, we need
the help of our parish family to make this happen. Therefore we ask you:
1. Travel with us in prayer as we prepare and plan for our journey.
2. Consider being a sponsor for one of our teens or young adults. Not only will you be
walking with your teen on this journey, but you will also share in the abundance of
God’s grace that will flow when they arrive home. Each teen that is sponsored will be
writing you a personal note about each day of the convention, which will be given to
you upon their return.
3. Watch us live from your home . The NFCYM will be live steaming the entire convention during the four day experience!.
“Each person will gain something. When people give God their time in gathering,
God will grace them with what they need in those moments.”
Bishop Timothy Doherty
The Sacrament of Confirmation
CCC # 1309 Preparation for Confirmation should aim at leading the Christian toward a
more intimate union with Christ and a more lively familiarity with the Holy Spirit - his
actions, his gifts, and his biddings - in order to be more capable of assuming the apostolic responsibilities of Christian life. To this end catechesis for Confirmation should
strive to awaken a sense of belonging to the Church of Jesus Christ, the universal
Church as well as the parish community. The latter bears special responsibility for the
preparation of confirmands.
Confirmation Sacramental Prep Parent meeting for parents that have teens in
second year of Confirmation formation: Thurs, Jan 10 at 7 PM.
The three mandatory class will be held on Thursdays : Jan 17, Feb 7, and
Mar 7. They will start at 6:30 PM and run until 9:00 PM.
Confirmation Rehearsal: Sunday, May 19 at 6:30 PM
Confirmation Mass: Sunday, May 26, at 5:30 PM
Power up Tuesday!
Power up nights are held from 6:30-9 PM for those Confirmed Teens and
Young Adults that are looking for that extra boost of energy that we call faith.
Join us on Tuesday, Jan 29 at 6:30 PM for our next session. Please RSVP to
MaryAnn if you would like to attend.
Young Adult Ministry
Hey Young Adults of St Mark! Do you ever wonder how many other young
adults want to get together to share in fellowship, and have real conversation
about faith ? Join us for our next Meet and Greet on Jan 14 at 6:30PM and find
out! Please RSVP to MaryAnn in Youth & Young Adult Office.

Epiphany of the Lord
YEAR OF FAITH - 2012-2013
by Kevin Fritz
Last week we considered how the family is often the first place we
experience the faith. From the community of the family we are
led to the community of the Church. It is in the Church - the community of believers - that faith can grow and develop to maturity.
YEAR OF FAITH
Faith is a personal decision but "our faith is truly personal, only if

ber 12, 2012)
"Our personal faith brings us into relationship with God's people, and the faith of the
entire people strengthens us in our relationship with God." (US Catholic Cat p. 37-38)
Within the community of the Church we support, nourish, and encourage one another
as we journey together in faith. We find that we really need one another. "Each believer is thus a link in the great chain of believers. I cannot believe without being carried by
the faith of others, and by my faith I help support others in the faith." (CCC #166)
I Am There
With You
Faith is a gift from God that we have received from others who have gone before us and
we must pass it on to those who come after us. The gift of faith comes from God
through the Church - a community of faith in which the faith becomes real and alive
touching, changing, and transforming our lives. "Faith commits everyone of us to become a living sign of the presence of the Risen Lord in the world." (Benedict XVI, Porta
Fidei, #15)
As we continue in this Year of Faith Pope Benedict challenges us to ask: "…is faith truly
the transforming force in our life, in my life? Or is it merely one of the elements that are
part of existence, without being the crucial one that involves us totally?"

Happy New Year!
Start this year off with some goals to work towards. Here's a suggestion that will certainly improve your life!
God loves you and wants to have a relationship with you. Write down on a piece of
paper when you think would be the best time of your day to spend a little time with
Him. Read some Bible stories during this time, or just think about what is going on in
your life. Share your feeling with God. Be sure to keep your paper close by so you
can use it as a reminder of this new goal and check it to see how well you are doing. If
you need to, change the time! It doesn't matter when you spend time with God, just
that you do!
New habits take a lot of effort; so keep working at it! Keep telling yourself that you
are going to do it! Remember that God never gives up on you!

I am the Source of All French Fries
One day a father wanted to do something special with his young
son Jimmy. He asked, “Son, is there anything you’d like to do
right now?” Jimmy said, “I want some McDonald French Fries.”
His father said, “If that’s what my boy wants, then that’s what my
boy gets.”
They got into the family car and headed towards McDonald’s.
When they arrived Jimmy's Dad made the order, and just to see
the joy on Jimmy's face, he ordered Jimmy a super sized order of fries
When Jimmy's Dad gave him the bag with the fries, his Dad was overjoyed to see his little
boy so happy over something so simple. His Dad wanted to join Jimmy in the fun so he
asked Jimmy to share a few of the fries with him.
To his surprise, his son quickly put his arms around his fries and said, “No, these are mine.”
His Dad was in a state of shock for a moment. He could not believe what had happened.
Hurt and saddened, his Dad thought to himself "my son failed to realize that I am the source
of all those French fries".
His Dad was the one who drove them both to McDonald’s. His Dad is the one that gave the
cashier the money from my wallet. His Dad did not give Jimmy the size fry he was expecting,
but something twice as big. Yet here was Jimmy talking about "his" French fries. Not only
was his Dad the source of the French fries, he also had power to take all the fries back from
Jimmy. Or, if his Dad wanted to, he could buy Jimmy so many fries that he could never eat
them all.
Jimmy's Dad did not "need" any of Jimmy's French fries. He could go back to the counter
and get as many fries as he wanted. What Jimmy's Dad wanted was for his son to invite him
into the wonderful little world his Dad had made possible for his son. He wanted his son to
be willing to share the very blessing that he had provided.
As the Dad thought about it, one or two fries really would not have made much of a difference for Jimmy that day. Everyday God gives us the choice to share with Him the blessings
that He has given us. Everyday he is waiting for us to invite Him to be a part of our lives - to
share with Him the blessings that He has made possible for us.

Epifanía del Señor
Después de la devastación causada
por el pecado, que sumió a la
humanidad en una densa oscuridad,
había llegado la hora en que el
eterno Hijo de Dios se manifestaba a
las naciones. Herodes lo supo y
temió por su reino. Así amaneció la
luz de la salvación sobre la tierra.
¡Sin duda que esta manifestación de
Cristo debe haber sido muy
impresionante! Por obra de Dios, los reyes del Oriente, que eran astrónomos sabios,
se sintieron atraídos por el nuevo Rey que nacía y viajaron miles de millas para
conocer y adorar a Aquel en quien reside toda la sabiduría, el dominio y el poder.
Reflexión Bíblica:
Miércoles: 7:30pm.
Los Padres de la Iglesia han afirmado que los regalos que le trajeron los sabios
revelaban que ellos reconocían, aunque fuese en pequeño grado, quién era este Niño:

El oro, tributo para reyes; el incienso, ofrenda en alabanza a Dios, y la mirra, un

¡Recuerda que Cristo cuenta contigo!
¡Qué inmensamente feliz y fructífero resultó el viaje de estos reyes sabios! Después
de ellos, innumerables generaciones de reyes y sabios han inclinado la cabeza ante el
humilde Niño de Nazaret. Hombres y mujeres de todas las épocas han depositado sus
tesoros a los pies de Cristo, como lo anunciaban las palabras del profeta (Isaías 60,5).
Y tú, hermano, ¿estás dispuesto a entregarle, no solo lo que tienes, sino tu vida a este
Niño, que es el Salvador del Mundo y el Redentor de tu alma?
“Padre eterno, es cierto que no siempre
entendemos todo, pero te pedimos que nos
concedas la gracia de amarte de todo corazón y
obedecer tus mandamientos.”
PILDORAS DE NUESTRA FE
POR: DIACONO JOSÉ MORONTA
¿Cuando y donde ocurrió la visita de los Reyes Magos?
En tiempos recientes hay expertos investigadores que tratan de componer la
cronología de la Sagrada Familia en los dos primeros años de Jesucristo. Parecen inclinarse por la hipótesis según la cual José y María, después del censo que
los había llevado a Belén regresaron a Nazaret, pero luego se mudaron a Belén.
Allí habrían recibido la visita de los Reyes Magos, y desde allí huyeron hacia
Egipto.
La visita de los Reyes Magos no se produjo cuando el Niño Dios estaba recién
nacido, en el portal de Belén, sino uno o dos años más tarde, en la casa de la
Sagrada Familia. Esto explica la instrucción de Herodes de eliminar a los varones
“menores de dos años” y no simplemente a los recién nacidos. La visita sí se
produce en Belén, pero cuando la Sagrada Familia habría regresado desde
Nazaret para residenciarse en dicho pueblo.
Los Reyes Magos mencionados en literatura no bíblica.
Existe una obra que escribió Marco Polo llamada “Los Viajes” en la cual narra lo que ha descubierto en Persia (hoy día Irán).
Allí cuenta el famoso viajero italiano: «Hay una ciudad de Persia llamada Saveh en la que se encuentran tres sepulcros de
gran tamaño y belleza. Sobre cada uno hay una estructura semejante a la de un techo elaborado por algún buen artista. Los
tres sepulcros están unidos y los cuerpos se conservan enteros, todavía con pelo y barbas». Marco preguntó a los habitantes
del lugar por estos personajes pero nadie supo responderle.
Sigue contando Marco Polo que días más tarde visitó un pueblo llamado Kala Atashparastan y sus pobladores le pudieron
dar más información: Que en un tiempo muy remoto tres reyes de esas tierras habían ido a saludar a un profeta recién
nacido y llevaron consigo oro, incienso y mirra, para descubrir qué clase de profeta era. Si tomaba el oro sería un rey, si
tomaba el incienso sería un dios y si tomaba la mirra sería una persona con poderes de sanación.
El sepulcro de los Reyes Magos
En la catedral de Colonia, ciudad en la que por cierto, nació el Papa Benedicto, se encuentra el relicario de los Reyes Magos,
que según la descripción dada por Marco Polo, sería el mismo sepulcro triple que vio en Persia.
El Relicario de los Reyes Magos, denominado en alemán Dreikönigsschrein, es un cofre en forma de basílica, que según se
dice contiene los restos de los tres Reyes. Es un gran sarcófago dorado y muy ornamentado, que consta de tres partes
Las reliquias de los tres Sabios fueron trasladadas desde Milán en 1164.
Presenta un importante trabajo de orfebrería, que se completó en 1225. Mide unos 110 centímetros de ancho, un metro y
medio de alto y 2 metros, veinte centímetros de largo, realizado en madera revestida de oro y plata, y decorado con piedras
preciosas y con 74 figuras en bajorrelieves.
Una iglesia que se salvo gracias a los Reyes Magos
En el lugar donde la tradición indicaba que había nacido Jesucristo se construyó en el año 329 una iglesia por decisión de la
reina Helena. Después, en el año 614, cuando los persas arrasaron con la tierra palestina, dicha iglesia se salvo de la
destrucción por unos mosaicos que la decoraban que mostraban a los Reyes Magos vistiendo ropas de origen persa. Los
invasores reconocieron que por alguna razón se rendía un homenaje a antepasados persas y por ello respetaron la iglesia de
la Natividad, que permanece hasta nuestros día.
Celebración de la Epifanía
Por mucho tiempo se ha llamado al “6 de Reyes”, el día de la fiesta de la Epifanía, porque los Magos que vinieron desde lejos
se acercaron a adorar al Mesías que había sido prometido al Pueblo Elegido, dando cumplimiento a la profecía según la cual
Dios se manifestaría a todas las naciones.
La palabra Epifanía significa algo así como ‘manifestarse’, o también ‘darse a conocer’ que es precisamente lo que Dios hace
al dejarse reconocer como Hijo de Dios encarnado en la persona de un niño recién nacido, Jesús, nacido en Belén, y a quien
unos sabios de Oriente quisieron conocer, ofreciéndole los regalos que ya hemos mencionado.
Esta celebración tiene su origen en las Iglesias de oriente. Más o menos hacia el siglo IV o V hubo una especie de intercambio
litúrgico entre las Iglesias Católicas de oriente y de occidente. En oriente por aquella época se celebraba la que actualmente
es la fiesta de la Epifanía o manifestación, y en occidente se celebraba la Navidad.
Y entonces hubo un intercambio, y así nosotros en occidente empezamos a celebrar la Epifanía unos días después de Navidad
y en oriente se empezó a celebrar la Navidad, porque por allá no se celebraba.
