Dear Sisters and Brothers,

Once more: HAPPY NEW YEAR TO EVERYONE !!! I hope that you

had wonderful Christmas with your family and friends, and I pray for many

blessings for you and all your loved ones in this New Year.

This Sunday we celebrate the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord, and this

celebration will end the Christmas Season.

Tomorrow, Monday we start the Ordinary Time that will last until

Tuesday, March 5th, than Lent starts with Ash Wednesday on March 6th. After

Lent, we will celebrate Easter on April 21st, then the Easter Season will end

with the feast of Pentecost on June 9th, and Ordinary Time will resume on the

following Monday.

This Sunday of the Baptism of the Lord, we are celebrating Christ

beginning his mission of proclamation of the Kingdom of Heaven. With Jesus’

baptism, the heavens open and the Holy Spirit descended upon Him in the form

of a dove, and God’s voice is heard:

“You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”

This manifestation happens not for Jesus, but for all those who were witnessing the event. Jesus knew that

He is the Beloved Son of God, but John the Baptist didn’t know, neither did others.

Imagine how great it would be; if at our baptism the heavens would be opened and we would see the light of

the Holy Spirit descending upon the baptized, and if we could hear the voice from heaven speak to us? It would be

wonderful and magical, but it would be somewhat scary as well, because what kind of light or fire would that be, or

what voice, how strong or how gentle it would have to be, or in what language would God speak ?and who could

understand it ?

God allowed it to happen, so that you and I would know, that God uses those Sacramental signs to

communicate to us his life and his love. How many times in the Bible we read of a blessing or anointing, that

changes the course of someone’s life, marking the call or a mission, that would change the person’s life and would

affect the course of history of nations and humanity, it would affect the course of salvation history for generations

to come. The blessing, anointing, or unction with the Spirit of the Lord would become the beginning of new life for

those who were called and chosen.

Much is to be expected from every blessing, much is to be expected from every Sacrament that we receive.

As Jesus would say: “your faith has saved you; go in peace.”

But we still would like to see those heavens open and the rays of light come down upon us. Than, as some

people say, that they see the Blessed Mother appear to them, we the rest of people who don’t see, we still have to

believe that it is reality. Those who believe they don’t need the proof. Those who don’t believe, even as they see it,

they don’t stop questioning and doubting.

As for those who are initiated into faith, we are to be the voice of God for those who need to hear that

affirming message: You are a beloved daughter of God , You are beloved son of God, You are good, You are

precious to Him ! You and I, we are called to be the voice of God, for those who need to hear of God’s love and

blessings of his salvation.

On this Sunday of the Baptism of the Lord we will baptize over 30 of our Religions Education students who

are being prepared. With a total number of 36 with few to be baptized in February. The children will be baptized in 3

different Masses so we can break down the number to make it easier. We will baptize them in both: Spanish and

English. It is really considerable number. The children will be of school age from different grades, as all personal

stories differ from others. It will be great celebration for our Parish, with a great outpouring of grace and blessings

upon many individuals and families. Let us have a great expectation from the Lord for the graces for each one of

those young people. May the Lord open the heavens and shower his blessings upon them, may they hear his voice,

may they know his love, may they receive his salvation. May the promises of the Lord be theirs always!!!

God bless everyone always !!!

Fr. Stan

Next weekend on Saturday at the 7pm Spanish Mass we will celebrate Feast of Our Lady of Altagracia, the Blessed

Mother venerated under this title in Dominican Republic. Let us join the celebnration at Mass, and at the reception

in the basement of the church with all the good Dominican food and entertainment. Waiting to see you at the feast.

Blessings !!!! Congratulations to our newly baptized !!!!!

Queridos hermanos y hermanas:

Una vez mas: ¡FELIZ AÑO NUEVO A TODOS! Espero que hayan tenido una

Navidad maravillosa con su familias y amigos, y Oro por muchas bendiciones para usted

y para todos sus seres queridos en este Año Nuevo.

Este Domingo celebramos la fiesta del Bautismo del Señor, y con esta

celebración terminara la temporada de Navidad. Mañana, Lunes comenzamos el Tiempo

Ordinario que durara hasta el Martes 5 de Marzo, luego la Cuaresma comenzara con el

Miércoles de Ceniza el 6 Marzo. Después de la Cuaresma, celebraremos la Pascua el 21

de Abril, las Estaciones de Pascua finalizaran con la fiesta de Pentecostés el 9 de Junio y

el Tiempo Ordinario se reanudara el Lunes siguiente.

Este Domingo del Bautismo del Señor, estamos celebrando a Cristo comenzando

su misión de proclamación del Reino de los Cielos. Con el bautismo de Jesús, los cielos se abrieron y el Espíritu

Santo descendió sobre El en forma de paloma, y se escucha la voz de Dios: “Tu eres mi Hijo amado; contigo estoy

muy complacido”. Esta manifestación no sucede para Jesús, sino para todos aquellos que fueron testigos del evento.

Jesús sabia que El es el Hijo Amado de Dios, pero Juan el Bautista no lo sabia, ni tampoco los otros.

Imagina cuan grande seria; Si en nuestro bautismo se abrieran los cielos y viéramos la luz del Espíritu

Santo descendiendo sobre los bautizados, y si pudiéramos escuchar la voz del cielo, ¿nos hablan Seria maravilloso y

mágico, pero también seria un poco aterrador, porque ¿Qué tipo de luz o fuego seria, o que voz, que tan fuerte o que

tan gentil seria, o en que idiomas hablaría Dios?? ¿Y quien podría entérenlo?

Dios permitió que sucediera, para que usted y yo supiéramos, que Dios usa esos signos sacramentales para

comunicarnos su vida y su amor. ¿Cuántas veces en la Biblia leemos acerca de una bendición o unción, que cambia

el curso de la vida de alguien, haciendo la llamada o una misión, que cambiaria la vida de la persona y afectaría el

curso de la historia de las naciones y la humanidad, afectaría el curso de la historia de la Salvación para las genera-

ciones venideras. La bendición, la unción o la unción con el Espíritu del Señor se convertirían en el comienzo de

una nueva vida.

Para los que fueron llamados y elegidos. Mucho se puede esperar de cada bendición, mucho se puede espe-

rar de cada Sacramento que recibimos. Un Jesús diría: “tu fe te ha salvado; vete en paz”. Pero aun nos gustaría ver

que se abran esos cielos y que los rayos de luz caigan sobre nosotros. Entonces, como dicen algunas personas, que

ven que la Santísima Madre les esta recibiendo, nosotros, el resto de las personas que no vemos, todavía tenemos

que creer que es la realidad. Los que creen que no necesitan pruebas. Los que no creen, incluso cuando lo ven no

dejan de cuestionar y dudar.

En cuanto a aquellos que son iniciados en la fe, debemos ser la voz de Dios para aquellos que necesitan escuchar

ese mensaje afirmativo: usted es hija amada de Dios, es hijo amado de Dios, es bueno, es precioso para El. ¡Tu y Yo,

estamos llamados a ser la voz de Dios, para aquellos que necesitan escuchar el amor de Dios y las bendiciones de su

salvación.

En este Domingo del Bautismo del Señor, bautizaremos a mas de 30 de nuestros estudiantes de educación

religiosa que están siendo preparados. Con un total de 36 con pocos por bautizar en Febrero. Los niños serán bauti-

zados en tres misas diferentes para que podamos desglosar el numero y hacerlo mas fácil. Los bautizaremos en

Español e Ingles. Es realmente un numero considerable. Los niños estarán en edad escolar de diferentes grados, ya

que todas las historias personales difieren de las demás. Sera una gran celebración para nuestra parroquia, con un

gran derramamiento de gracia y bendiciones para muchas personas y familias. Tengamos una gran expectativa del

Señor por las gracias para cada uno de esos jóvenes. Que el Señor abra los cielos y llueva su bendiciones sobre

ellos, que escuchen su voz, que conozcan su amor, que reciban su salvacion. ¡Que las promesas del Señor sean

siempre suyas!.

Dios bendiga a todos siempre!!!

Padre. Stan

**El próximo fin de semana, Sábado a las 7:00PM, celebraremos la fiesta de Nuestra Señora de Altagracia, la

Santísima Madre venerada bajo este titulo en Republica Dominicana. Unámonos a la fiesta en la misa y en la

recepción en la planta baja de la Iglesia para disfrutar de una buena comida y entretenimiento Dominicanos.

Espero verte en la fiesta. ¡!!Bendición!!! Felicitaciones a nuestros recién bautizados!!!

DOMINGO DEL BAUTISMO DEL SEÑOR El Bautismo de Jesús debemos ponerlo en contexto con el nuestro. En algunas misas de es-

te domingo tendremos oportunidad de presenciar el bautismo de niños que pasaran a for-

mar parte de la gran familia de los cristianos (que es la Iglesia), recemos, entonces, por

ellos.

El Evangelio (Lc 3:15-16.21-22) nos presenta la curiosa escena en la que el E.S. en forma de

paloma viene sobre Cristo y, una voz confirmando que este es el “Hijo amado del Padre a

quien debemos escuchar” y seguir. La segunda lectura (Hch 10:34-38) nos dice que ese Je-

sús de Nazareth ungido desde el cielo es el Mesías “y que paso haciendo el bien y sanando a

los oprimidos…”, las lecturas de hoy dan para mucha reflexión. La primera lectura (Is 42:1-

4.6-7), nos da cuales serían las características del enviado de Dios: “no gritara, no clamara,

no hará oír su voz…ni apagará la mecha que aun humea...” (luz y alianza, eso es Jesús).

Nosotros, deberíamos celebrar el día del Bautismo casi con la misma intensidad con la cual

celebramos nuestro natalicio, pues es el día en que nacimos para la Vida Eterna. Hemos ve-

nido al mundo y moriremos, físicamente hablando, pero en el sentido mas profundo por el

Bautismo viviremos eternamente …vivamos la Eternidad desde ahora, la Eucaristía quiere

ser eso seguida de nuestro buen obrar, y es que “la obra de Jesús se continua en los cris-

tianos.”

Al bautismo le continuara el Primera Comunión y luego la Confirmación, si por algún motivo

los que ya hemos recibido “la iniciación cristiana” esto nos suena “a chino”, tal vez seria

conveniente ir al Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica e indagar sobre estos y darnos cuenta

de lo que ellos significan. Comenzamos el Tiempo Ordinario, de ordinario bendigamos a Dios

y “hagamos el bien al prójimo”.

FR. CHARLINCE

Baptême du Seigneur (Lc 3, 15-16.21-22)

En ce temps-là, le peuple venu auprès de Jean

le Baptiste était en attente,

et tous se demandaient en eux-mêmes si Jean

n’était pas le CHRIST. Jean s’adressa alors à

tous : « Moi, je vous baptise avec de l’eau ;

mais IL vient, CELUI qui est PLUS FORT

que moi.

Je ne suis pas digne de dénouer la courroie de

Ses Sandales. LUI vous baptisera dans l’ESPRIT SAINT et le FEU. » Comme

tout le peuple se faisait baptiser et qu’après avoir été baptisé LUI aussi, JÉSUS

priait, le Ciel s’ouvrit. L’ESPRIT SAINT, sous une apparence corporelle,

comme une colombe, descendit sur JÉSUS, et il y eut une VOIX venant du

Ciel : « TOI, TU ES MON FILS BIEN-AIMÉ ; EN TOI, JE TROUVE

MA JOIE. »
