PARISH OF ST. JOSEPH
January 10 ,2016
From the Desk of Fr. Philip Kollithanath
There is an intrinsic affinity between goodness and peace. If we do not have peace in ourselves we cannot bring it to others. “ a peaceful man does more good than a learned man. A passionate man turns even good into evil..” (IC p31). Peaceful man turns all things
into good. A peaceful man is not suspicious. A disturbed person is concerned about others duties while ignoring his own.
We must make every effort to judge ourselves before judging others. Our tendency is to find excuses for ourselves while would not
accept any justification for others. The golden rule, “do unto others what you would have them do to you” (Luke 6:31, Mt. 7:12 ) is
very practical on the road to spiritual growth. It enables us to be more self-conscious and less judgmental. Many a time, if we are sincere, we find it more reasonable to accuse ourselves and to excuse others. This will happen when we have true charity and humility.
For people to bear with us, we must learn to bear with them first.
It is easy to associate with good and gentle people. Everyone prefers to be with people of congenial habits. One needs special grace to
get along with unruly, perverse and harsh men. We can observe that some people are at peace with themselves and others while some
do not have it nor do they let others have it either. They are a burden to themselves as well as to others.
We must learn to find peace in humbly enduring the sufferings of this miserable life. It is easy to flee from it. According to the Imitation of Christ, “He who knows best how to suffer will enjoy the greater peace, because he is the conqueror of himself, the master of
the world, a friend of Jesus, and an heir of heaven.”
In this Year of Mercy, the Holy Father Pope Francis reminds us that we have to become prophets of Mercy in this age of individualism which generates an attitude of indifference and unconcern towards faith and fellow beings. We must be merciful to ourselves and
show mercy to others. As beacons of Mercy, we must promote it in the world around us. The end goal is a social awakening where
individuals and communities are permeated with the Heavenly Father’s Merciful Love.
When this starts in the families, children will show more respect for the parents. They will find time to be together,
away from the distracting gadgets, to pray together, to play together, to dialogue together, and to be together in
peace and joy. This atmosphere of peace and joy is missing in many of our families. Frequently children from such
families end up in antisocial and destructive lifestyles. It is time for us to bring back the goodness and peace of our
catholic family tradition before the world destroys all our families with their liberal ideologies. This Year of Mercy
is an opportunity for that.
Sarcament of Baptism—Baptism is a highly sacred event and deserves careful
and complete readiness. Please contact the church office (336-629-0221 to register for the Baptism Preparation
Class, which is done on a regular basis. Parents must be registered and participating members of our parish
community.
Sacrament of Marriage
- Couples should contact the Pastor (336-629-0221) at least 6 months prior
to the wedding date for necessary preparation.
Ministry of the Sick— Please call the church office (336-629-0221) to inform us of an illness or hospitalization of a family member. Federal Privacy Law prohibits the hospital from giving room numbers, so we
must have prior knowledge of a patient’s room number before we visit the hospital. The Sacrament of
Anointing is done upon request prior to surgery or a illness.
Prayers for our Military—please call the office (336-629-0221) to notify us of their Military Status
Faith Formation: Faith Formation classes are in session. The cut-off date is Nov. 1st. If you have any questions, please Contact Jason Kroeger at 336-629-0221 .

TURNING THE TIDE
When everything goes against you, till it seems as though you
could not hold on a minute longer, never give up then, for that is
just the place and time that the tide will turn.
--Harriet Beecher Stowe
Wednesday: St. Hilary
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.

Del escritorio del Padre Tradición Philip Kollithanath
Hay una afinidad intrínseca entre el bien y la paz. Si no tenemos paz en nosotros mismos no podemos traer a otros. "Un hombre de paz
hace más bien que un hombre culto. Un hombre apasionado se vuelve incluso el bien en mal .. "(IC p31). Hombre pacífico convierte
todas las cosas en bien. Un hombre tranquilo, no es sospechoso. Una persona perturbada está preocupado por otras tareas mientras se
ignora su propia.
Debemos hacer todo lo posible para juzgarnos a nosotros mismos antes de juzgar a los demás. Nuestra tendencia es encontrar excusas
para nosotros mismos, mientras que no aceptaría ninguna justificación para los demás. La regla de oro, "hacer a los demás lo que
quieren que ellos los traten a ustedes" (Lucas 06:31, Mt. 7:12) es muy práctico en el camino hacia el crecimiento espiritual. Nos permite
ser más consciente de sí mismo y menos prejuicios. Muchas veces, si somos sinceros, nos resulta más razonable para acusar a nosotros
mismos y para excusar otros. Esto sucederá cuando tenemos la verdadera caridad y humildad. Para las personas que tienen con nosotros, tenemos que aprender a dar con ellos primero.
Es fácil de asociar con gente buena y suaves. Todo el mundo prefiere estar con gente de hábitos agradables. Uno tiene gracia especial de
llevarse bien con los hombres rebeldes, perversos y duras. Podemos observar que algunas personas están en paz consigo mismos y con
los demás, mientras que algunos no lo tienen ni tampoco dejar que otros la tienen tampoco. Ellos son una carga para ellos mismos, así
como a los demás.
Tenemos que aprender a encontrar la paz en soportando humildemente los sufrimientos de esta vida miserable. Es fácil huir de ella. De
acuerdo con la Imitación de Cristo: "El que sabe mejor cómo sufrir podrán disfrutar de la mayor tranquilidad, porque él es el vencedor
de sí mismo, el dueño del mundo, un amigo de Jesús, y un heredero del cielo."
En este Año de la Misericordia, el Santo Padre Francisco nos recuerda que tenemos que llegar a ser profetas de la Misericordia en esta
época de individualismo que genera una actitud de indiferencia y despreocupación hacia la fe y semejantes. Debemos ser misericordiosos con nosotros mismos y mostrar misericordia a otros. Como faros de la Misericordia, debemos promover en el mundo que nos
rodea. El objetivo final es un despertar social donde los individuos y las comunidades están impregnados de amor misericordioso del
Padre celestial.
Cuando esto comienza en las familias, los niños van a mostrar más respeto por los padres. Van a encontrar tiempo
para estar juntos, lejos de los aparatos de distracción, para orar juntos, jugar juntos, dialogar juntos, y estar juntos en
paz y alegría. Este ambiente de paz y alegría que falta en muchas de nuestras familias. Con frecuencia los niños de
estas familias terminan en los estilos de vida antisociales y destructivas.
Es el momento para nosotros para traer de vuelta la bondad y la paz de nuestra tradición familiar católica ante el
mundo destruye todas nuestras familias con sus ideologías liberales. Este Año de la Misericordia es una oportunidad
para ello.
Dios los bendiga a todos.

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.—Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
***************************************
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).Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
