PARTNERS IN THE PROMISE
As a society, during these days we can
be in something of a “postpartum”
depression. Our celebrations of Christmas
and the New Year are over, and after
today many of us will put away the
decorations and the last visible remnants
of the celebrations of the past weeks. The
apostle Paul today uses the expression
“partners in the promise.” This is an
uplifting phrase for us to reflect upon, and
to think of as our own calling in these days
following the birth of the Lord. What is this
promise? We can find it in the gifts the magi bring: it is a promise of being
a royal priesthood (gold), a holy nation (frankincense), a people set apart
for self-giving (myrrh). We find more of the promise in Isaiah—a light
shines upon us! In the psalm we know a promise of a world of flowering
justice, profound peace, the poor rescued, pity for the lowly and the poor.
This is the promise; and one of the best ways for us to lift ourselves out of
any possible low spirits we may be suffering is to live out our partnership in
this promise each and every day.
PARTICIPANTES EN LA PROMESA
Las celebraciones de Navidad y Año Nuevo se han terminado, y
después de hoy Día de los Reyes Magos, muchos de nosotros
guardaremos las decoraciones y los últimos vestigios de las celebraciones
de las semanas pasadas. El apóstol Pablo usa la expresión “participantes
de la promesa”. Esta es una frase digna de reflexionar, y de pensar que es
nuestro llamado en estos días después del nacimiento del Señor. ¿Cuál
es esta promesa? Podemos encontrarla en los regalos que traen los
magos: la promesa de ser un sacerdocio real (oro), una nación santa
(incienso), un pueblo escogido para dar de sí (mirra). Encontramos otro
aspecto de la promesa en Isaías ¡una luz que nos alumbra! En el salmo
encontramos la promesa de un mundo en donde florece la justicia, la paz
profunda, los pobres rescatados, piedad para los humildes y los pobres.
Esta es la promesa; y una de las mejores maneras de continuar el espíritu
de generosidad navideña es vivir día a día nuestra parte como
participantes en esta promesa.

A Word from Fr. Ray/Una Palabra de P. Ray
My column will be back next Sunday, January 11th.
Have a blessed week,
Father Ray
Mi columna estará de regreso el próximo domingo, 11 de enero.
Que tengan una semana bendecida,
Padre Ray
All kings shall pay
him homage, all
nations shall serve
him.
— Psalm 72:11
Small Church Communities; a way of being church
Small Church Communities are groups of 6 to 8 people who gather in homes to
reflect on the scriptures of the upcoming Sunday and their significance in their lives.
All ministries and organizations connected to Christ the King are asked to use a
simple formula for prayer as they gather: Read one of the scriptures for the
upcoming Sunday. Take a few moments to reflect on one of the questions related
to the scripture (in Fr. Ray’s column). Invite individuals to share their response with
the person next to them; encourage people to share with someone they do not
know well. Before we know it we have grown closer as a community!

SANTA VISITS
MANNA CUPBOARD
ONCE AGAIN
Every year, a mysterious visitor stops by our
office after a spending spree at Toys R Us. No
one knows exactly where he comes from, and
we're not even quite sure of his name. We just
call him Santa. Each year, he unloads his overburdened vehicle of bags and bags of toys.
There are baby dolls and skateboards, Legos
and Transformers, coloring books and crayons,
basketballs and baseballs and mitts. Santa
forgets nothing as he scours the isles at Toys R
Us. Once his vehicle is unloaded into our
conference room, he quips a short greeting and
off he goes. Every year for over ten years, this
man has made Christmas a reality for people
who only come in for food. To their surprise,
they leave with presents for their children and a
big grin on their faces. Thank you, Santa, for
coming again this year!

LITURGY CORNER
EPIPHANY 2015 – STORY OF SELF-EMPTYING LOVE
This weekend as we celebrate the feast of the Epiphany we reflect upon the Christmas “story” and
the arrival of the “three kings.” We have heard the Epiphany story year after year through dramatic
presentations, songs and of course scripture readings. Sentimentally we’ve prayed by manger
scenes and gotten all “warm and fuzzy” thinking about the “baby Jesus” being presented with gold,
frankincense and myrrh.
Just what do we really celebrate today? An “epiphany” is being able to recognize and “see”
something or someone in a different light. We ask ourselves if we can see and recognize the
complete and self-emptying love of God in the human form of Jesus? Does that extend to seeing
Christ in others?
So too, as the kings brought their gifts and presented them to the babe, we are also challenged to
bring our gifts, whatever they may be, however big or small, to Christ, through our service to one
another.
As we go through the remaining days of the Christmas season, we are challenged to go deeper, to
recognize and live-out “self-emptying” love for others as did Christ.
Happy Epiphany!
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITIONS
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Epiphany celebrates the wake up calls of life, the
showings of God’s majesty and power in the person
of Jesus. The feast alerts us to look for signs of the
Lord’s grace and action in our lives today. In this context, the call of the Second Vatican Council to reform
the sacramental life of the Church, including our pattern of care for the sick, is indeed a holy awakening.
Prior to the 1960s, our care for the sick had collapsed in the popular imagination into something everyone called “last rites.” An immensely complicated
ritual, with anointing accompanied by quickly muttered Latin prayers, was enacted for a marginally conscious person at “death’s door.” By the time a priest
was called, the sick person might not be able to receive viaticum, or derive much personal benefit from
the ritual. The healing effects of the sacrament, investing suffering with the dignity of a link to Christ’s
cross, and the immense assurance of forgiveness for
a person reviewing the life journey, were hidden. Suddenly, an epiphany swept through the Church, and
the way we care for the sick was utterly transformed.
It took several centuries, however, for the Church to
reach that moment of renewal.
El Evangelio de san Juan comienza con una extraña revelación. Nos declara que al principio, Jesús no sólo estaba con Dios, sino que Jesús es
Dios (Juan 1:1). Dependiendo de nuestra traducción de las Sagradas Escrituras, Jesús es nombrado ya sea “Palabra” o “Verbo” en el primer pasaje
de Juan. Según una canción de Ricardo Arjona
“Jesús es verbo, no sustantivo”. Y tiene razón. Hay
que recordar que Juan no escribió en español, ni
siquiera en inglés. El evangelista escribió en griego y aplicó el concepto filosófico del logos a Jesús.
El logos, de la filosofía griega se manifiesta en Jesús de Nazaret. Para los griegos esta noticia era
asombrosa, porque logos quiere decir palabra activa, es decir, el verbo que actúa y por el cual todo
es creado. Juan declara que Jesús es este Verbo,
él es el Dios que lo hizo todo y en el cual todos
tenemos vida si actuamos como él. El Evangelio
de Juan nos desafía a vivir el verbo que es Cristo,
no sólo diciendo que somos cristianos, sino actuando como Jesús, cual Verbo Divino. —Fray Gil-

Small Church Communities;
a way of being Church
Small Church Communities
are groups of 6 to 8 people
who gather in homes to reflect on the
scriptures of the upcoming Sunday and their
significance in their lives. All ministries and
organizations connected to Christ the King are
asked to use a simple formula for prayer as
they gather: Read one of the scriptures for the
upcoming Sunday. Take a few moments to
reflect on one of the questions related to the
scripture (in Fr. Ray’s column). Invite
individuals to share their response with the
person next to them; encourage people to
share with someone they do not know well.
Before we know it we have grown closer as a
community!
