THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD
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.

PENITENTIAL ACT (A)
(CONFITEOR)
I confess to almighty God, and to you, my
brothers and sisters, that I have greatly sinned,
in my thoughts and in my words, in what I
have done and in what I have failed to do,
(striking their breast, all say)
through my fault, through my fault, through
my most grievous fault; therefore I ask blessed
Mary ever-Virgin, all the Angels and Saints,
and you, my brothers and sisters, to pray for
me to the Lord our God.
PENITENTIAL ACT (B)
Priest: Have mercy on us, O Lord.
People: For we have sinned against you.
Priest: Show us, O Lord, your mercy.
People: And grant us your salvation.
THE NICENE CREED
I believe in one God, the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
(BOW ) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of
the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius
Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and
rose again on the third day in accordance with
the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the
living and the dead and his kingdom will
have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver
of life, who proceeds from the Father and the
Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored
and glorified, who has spoken through the
prophets.
I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic
Church. I confess one Baptism for the
forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the
resurrection of the dead and the life of the
world to come. Amen.

NOTES FROM
FATHER TOM……..…
Today we celebrate the
Epiphany of the Lord.
It is a day to recall that
the Savior came for all
people. It might be a good day to
explain to children that the kings and
the camels in the Nativity Set remind
us that Jesus came for all of us. In
fact, I know some people do not put
You might have noticed over
Christmas that we have a new
carillon. The old one quit working
and repairs were expensive enough
that it was like having an old car that
needs significant repair. It was time
to buy a new unit with up-to-date
technology. It is marvelous indeed. I
hope you like it. Beside the existing
outdoor speakers, we now have a
speaker in the baptistery and one in
the church. Right now we are playing
the Angelus everyday at noon and 6
p.m., and a call to worship before
every Mass but the 8:00 a.m. There
is a huge selection of hymns and the
programming is very simple so you
will be hearing them more frequently.
As we begin the new year, it is
traditionally a time for resolutions. I
invite you to make a spiritual
resolution that is practical and doable.
What I mean by that is simply if the
resolution is too vague, it will
probably never happen. To be holier
is a noble goal but praying ten
minutes a day or reading one half
page of scripture every day just might
happen. And if we do that, we will be
holier.
The saints in the baptistery project is
getting a good response but we still
need donations so whatever you can
do will be appreciated.
Happy New Year to you and your
family.

NOTES FROM THE PRINCIPAL……………………….
Happy New Year to everyone!
We are pleased to announce that we have received a
grant from the Diocese of Cleveland to upgrade and
expand our wireless computer capabilities! The
grant approved $20,000 toward the project, and we
are so eager to begin.
FAMILY PERSPECTIVE
It was only after they entered the house that the
Magi found Jesus. Today’s gospel challenges us to
bring our gifts into our home and family. There we
will find Jesus. Our spiritual search for God starts
at home.
MARRIAGE MOMENTS
The feast of the Epiphany celebrates the three wise
men bringing gifts to the baby Jesus. Why not be
wise and bring your spouse three compliments on
January 4th. Consider your beloved's physical
appearance, a unique talent, and an act of kindness.
PARENTING POINTERS
On the 9th Day of Christmas 9 Ladies Danced. But
dancing is not only for ladies and true love is not
only for newlyweds. Try dancing with your
children. It needn't be ballroom; it needn't have
partners; it needn't even be good dancing. Share a
dance from your childhood with your children. It
could be serious or silly, from the waltz to the hokey
pokey. Let them share their style of dance with you
- if you dare. Moving together can be joyous.
On enter ing the house, they saw the child with
Mary his mother. (Matthew 2:10)
Adult: When have you found the presence of Christ
in an unexpected place?
Child: Where and in whom will you look for Jesus
this week?
COLLECTIONS
December 21 ………………………..$12,529.62
Next Week………………….Assistance Ministry
And we are equally excited about exploring the
possibility of offering a full day preschool. Stay
tuned for more information on that.
And one of the best ways to “stay tuned” is to join
us for our Open House on Sunday, January 11th.
The Open House shall begin immediately following
the 11:30 Mass and will end around 2:30 p.m. The
teachers and staff will be here to explain their
program; students and parents will be available for
tours; registration packets will be available; and
waiting lists will be started. While many other open
houses are scheduled for Catholic Schools Week
(January 25), we know that it can be impossible to
visit every one that is scheduled. But as your parish
school, we believe you will find Saint Anselm a
nurturing environment of excellence. Come and see
all that we have to offer. Then, feel free to schedule
a visit during school hours—or have your child
shadow for a few hours or for the day. There are
many ways to get to know us better, and we
welcome the opportunity to let you know about this
treasure in Chesterland!
Our students will enter into the new year on
Tuesday, January 6th. Monday is a meeting and
work day for the teachers. But once back, we shall
be involved in spelling bees, geography bees, high
school applications, speech contests—and all kinds
of special events for Catholic Schools Week at the
end of the month.
or send us an email at [email protected].
Bring along a friend or two—you won’t be sorry!
Now back to those New Year’s resolutions!
Blessings to all!
The Saints project is coming
along very nicely. Envelopes
are available in the baptistery.
Hopefully everyone will feel like they are a part of
this since it is our church. Remember we hope to
get moving on this as soon as it is possible.
GENTLENESS
Feelings are everywhere—be gentle.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
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.

INTERESTING FACTS ABOUT THE HISTORY OF OUR DIOCESE
The Diocese of Cleveland was created on April 23, 1847 for 10,000 Catholics. In 1848 the 1st Seminary,
.
On November 19, 1848, the first priests for service to the Diocese of Cleveland were ordained.
The Cathedral of St. John the Evangelist was constructed from 1848 until 1852 at the corner of Superior
Avenue and Erie Street (now East 9th Street). It was dedicated on November 7, 1852.
The territory of the Diocese would fluctuate with the creation of the Diocese of Toledo (1910) and then

Borromeo Seminary opened in 1953.
In 1964, the Diocese opened a Latin American Mission in El Salvador. In 2014, the Diocese celebrated
50 years of ministry in Latin America.
