The Epiphany of the Lord January 6, 2019

GOSPEL MEDITATION - ENCOURAGE DEEPER UNDERSTANDING OF SCRIPTURE January 6, 2019 The Epiphany of the Lord "Behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying 'Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage.'" How strange to journey so far for perhaps so little. Of course the magi go to the capitol city. Of course they entreat with King Herod. Of course this is where they expect newborn royalty to be. But where is the child? "In Bethlehem of Judea," the scribes say. And so the magi go on to what is yet another Christmas miracle. We don't know where the magi met the Christ Child, but it cannot have been lavish. Perhaps it was the stable. Perhaps it was a small hovel Joseph had found to wait out the census. But it would have been the home of a laborer, worn and threadbare. Here, in this unassuming abode, the magi are still "overjoyed...they prostrated themselves and did him homage." Have you ever gotten to the end of a great work and found the results to be underwhelming? How did you respond? Were you disappointed or elated at God's providence and your upended expectations? The magi journeyed hundreds of miles over treacherous terrain to pay homage to royalty they have seen prophesied in the stars. They encountered an ordinary family displaced from their home. This Sunday, the magi are an example for us. Can we see God in the unexpected? Do we encounter Him in the person who doesn't fit our expectations of propriety? Do we revere Christ's presence in the poor? Or do we expect to meet God only in places of honor and esteem? This week, ask God for the grace to honor Him in the unexpected places and unassuming people. He is waiting for you!

All kings shall ay him homage,

All nations shall serve him.

PLEASE PRAY for the repose of the souls of Amalia Soto and Cesar Vazquez Rendon, Jr. May they rest in peace.

Please, one calendar per family. Thank you. ROSARY MINISTRY We are happy to announce a new ministry for our community. If you have any old rosaries that are broken, costume jewelry that is broken or that you don’t use anymore and would like to donate to the church, we would love to have them. These items will be fixed and reused to make new rosaries to be given to different ministries and people to use in the community. The Rosary is the biggest spiritual weapon we can use and what better way to help others to learn to use this as well. There is a donation box in the back of the Blessed Sacrament chapel and if you have any questions or would like to help with this ministry, please contact Amalia McConnell at (207) 751-2044 or email her at amaliaacn09@gmail.com.

Bienvenido a la Misión de Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe Yuma, Arizona

MEDITACIÓN EVANGÉLICO - ALENTAR ENTENDIMIENTO MÁS PROFUNDO DE LA ESCRITURA (Gospel Meditation) 6 de Enero de 2019 La Epifanía del Señor Que tu estrella, Señor, nos guíe y nos ilumine todos los días de nuestras vidas. Que Tu presencia nos sostenga en la salud y en la enfermedad, en la alegría y en la tristeza, y que por medio de ella te manifiestes ante cada circunstancia de la vida cotidiana. Hoy, la Liturgia celebra la Epifanía del Señor. Epifanía quiere decir manifestación de una cosa. En este caso Jesús se manifiesta a los Reyes Magos y por medio de ellos, al mundo entero. Los Magos le adoraron y le ofrecieron regalos de oro, incienso y mirra. El Profeta Isaías lo anuncia así: "Los pueblos se dirigen hacia la luz y los reyes, al resplandor de tu aurora. Levanta los ojos a tu alrededor y contempla: todos se reúnen y vienen a ti; tus hijos llegan de lejos y tus hijas son traídas en brazos" (Isaías 60, 4-4). La fiesta de los magos es una fiesta de Dios entre nosotros, aun es Navidad - ¡no lo olvidemos! Dios invita a personas de diferentes razas y culturas a descubrir que Jesús nos trae el regalo de la integración, no de la desunión. El Himno Litúrgico de este día nos invita a llenarnos de alegría y a orar todos juntos. "Reyes que vienen por ellas, no busquen estrellas ya, porque donde el sol está no tienen luz las estrellas". ¿Cómo se ha manifestado Jesús en tu vida? ¿Qué le ofreces tú a Jesús? ¿Qué estrellas buscas? La respuesta, ojalá, es una de compromiso y entrega generosa para los pobres, los inmigrantes los enfermos y los abandonados. Señor, manifiéstate hoy a mí, aquí, en esta Eucaristía. Escucha mis deseos y mis sueños...no tengo nada, solo un corazón para amarte.

La Epifanía del Señor

7 de Enero de 2018

Ante él se postrarán todos los reyes

y todas las naciones.

— Salmo 72(71):11

FAVOR DE REZAR por el descanso eterno de Amalia Soto,

Cesar Vazquez Rendon, Jr. Que descansen en paz.

National Migration Week 2019 January 6-12, 2019

Building Communities of Welcome

For nearly a half century, the Catholic Church in the United States has celebrate National Migration Week, which is an opportunity for the Church to reflect on the circumstances confronting migrants, including immigrants, refugees, children, and victims and survivors of human trafficking. The theme for National Migration Week 2019 “Building Communities of Welcome” draws attention to the fact that each of our families have a migration story, some recent and others in the distant past. Regardless of where we are and where we came from, we remain part of the human family and are called to live in solidarity with one another.

Loving Father, Protect, we pray, all those forced to leave from their homes

by violence and persecution, guide them to places of shelter and safety, and grant that people migrate always by choice and not by necessity.

Watch over children who migrate alone, protect them from the risks they face all by themselves, help them reach their destination safely,

and reunite them with those from whom they have been separated. Guide all migrants who seek a better life, to new opportunities, and grant them a new beginning.

We beseech you to give each of us the strength and generosity to welcome the stranger and to open our homes to the newcomers, and in doing so to comfort those who are

suffering. We ask this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever. Amen.

Semana Nacional del Migrante 2019

Del 6 al 12 de enero Construyendo Comunidades de Bienvenida

Durante casi medio siglo, la Iglesia Católica en los Estados Unidos ha celebrado la Semana Nacional de la Migración, que es una

oportunidad para que la Iglesia reflexione sobre las circunstancias que enfrentan los migrantes, incluidos los inmigrantes, los refugiados, los

niños y las víctimas y sobrevivientes de la trata de personas. El tema de la Semana Nacional de la Migración 2019, “Construyendo

Comunidades de Bienvenida” llama la atención sobre el hecho de que cada una de nuestras familias tiene una historia sobre la migración,

algunas recientes y otras en el pasado lejano. Independientemente de dónde estemos y de dónde venimos, seguimos siendo parte de la

familia humana y estamos llamados a vivir en solidaridad con los demás.

Padre amoroso, Te suplicamos protejas , a todos los que han sido forzados a dejar sus hogares por la violencia y por ser perseguidos, guíalos a lugares de refugio y seguridad,

y has que las personas emigren porque así lo desean y no por necesidad. Vela por los niños que emigran solos, protégelos de los riesgos que ellos enfrentan en

su camino, ayúdalos a llegar seguros a su destino, y reúnelos con aquellos de quienes han sido separados. Guía a todos los migrantes que buscan una vida mejor,

así como nuevas oportunidades, y concédeles un nuevo comienzo. Te suplicamos que nos des a cada uno de nosotros la fuerza y la generosidad

para acoger al extranjero y abrir nuestro hogar al recién llegado, y, al hacerlo, brindarles consuelo a aquellos que están sufriendo. Te lo pedimos por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu

Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo y es Dios, por los siglos de los siglos. Amén. http://www.usccb.org
