First Reading: Isaiah 60:1-6
Isaiah speaks poetically of the coming of the Lord. He
Describes how “darkness covers the earth” but light
and glory appear over God’s chosen people.
Second Reading: Ephesians 3:2-3a, 5-6
Paul tells the Ephesians that the Jews and Gentiles are
now co-heirs of the promises God has made. He
explains that both groups are now members of one body
through Jesus Christ.
.
Gospel: Matthew 2:1-12
After Jesus’ birth, three astrologers from the east came
to Jerusalem and inquired about the newborn king of the
Jews. King Herod became greatly angered, and asked
the astrologers to bring him more information about the
child once they had found him, so that he too could pay
homage to the infant. However, Herod’s true plan was
to kill Jesus. The wise men were warned in a dream not
to return to him and they took a different route to return
home.
&RQVLGHU5HIOHFW
As the astrologers returned to their place, changed by
the Christ event, we too should reflect on the change
which has taken place for us. Perhaps we travelled and
visited, or others did us the favor. The light of Christ,
perhaps has dimmed as we said goodbye and return to
normal. Maybe there was some sadness too during the
days of Christmas joy, the absence of a loved one, or
family member, because of death or sickness.
The prophet Isaiah reminds us of the light, the radiance,
‘raise your eyes and look about.’ The darkness of world
and personal problems cannot take away the brilliance
of the light of Christ. The magi brought their treasures,
and we have been given not gold, myrrh and
frankincense, but we carry within us the treasure of
Christ Himself. As they opened their coffers we continue
to open our hearts to receive the Christ.

Washing your hands is probably your best defense
against getting a cold, virus or other infectious
diseases. Hand washing helps you wash away germs
that you picked up from people, surfaces or from
animals.

Since germs can’t be seen, washing your hands
frequently is important, especially at the following
times:
• Before, during and after you handle food
• Before you eat
• After you use the bathroom (even in your
own home)
• After touching animals or animal waste
• Every time you cough or sneeze and cover
your mouth
• After changing a child’s diaper

hands, fingers and under finger nails for 20 seconds,
just long enough to sing Happy Birthday, then rinse
and dry your hands.

are facing our Parish and look for ways to resolve
them.

suggestion box back in the Gathering Space for any
needs or concerns you would like the council to
address OR, you can email your suggestions to
[email protected]. Also, please feel free to
speak to any member of our council at any time.
Your suggestions will be reviewed at our monthly
meetings and we hope to publish some as well as
our responses in the bulletin.
Thank you for your prayerful suggestions and input.
We look forward to better serving you.
The Pastoral Council:
Steve McDonnell, Cheryl Smith, Michell Burns, Joe

CHRISTMAS CD
We have recorded last year’s Christmas Concert
and are offering it for purchase. The Concert
features St. Theresa’s Choir as well as solos. The
CD contains 12 songs.
“IN THE EYES OF THE CHILDREN”
Super storm Sandy affected so many people …
including children. Kathy Ignatoski (Kathy is the
daughter of Harry Woods, a parishioner of St.
Theresa who lost his house in Mystic Island to the
storm) has edited a book of children’s essays on
how super storm Sandy impacted their lives,
including how the total loss of her father’s home
affected her daughter.
THE PARISH COOKBOOK
Our Parish cookbook is filled with great recipes all
submitted by parishioners and we are very pleased
with the results.
All Books & CD’s: $15.00 each
Books and CD’s are available at the Parish Office.
