Te lo pedimos por Jesucristo nuestro Señor

THANK YOU to everyone who made a donation to Together in
Mission this past year. Your generosity has made it possible for us
to help the poorest parishes and parish schools in the Archdiocese
of Los Angeles. May God reward you for your kindness.
Next weekend we Celebrate
the Feast of the Epiphany
Epiphany means manifestation. On this
day, Jesus manifested himself to the whole world—to every
culture and tradition—as the Christ. And so, we invite you
and your family to dress or wear something that represents
your ethnic heritage when you come to Mass next weekend.
And plan to stay a bit later to enjoy coffee & donuts after
Mass hosted by Citizens of the World Charter.
Early Childhood Catechesis
is for children between the ages of 3 and 6
Through story, song, prayer and other
activities, children learn about the key points
of that Sunday’s Gospel on a level that is both
fun and captivating for them.
Classes are on Sundays during the
10:00am Mass in the Preschool
Stop by the office to pick up your 2015

Arquidiócesis de Los Ángeles. Que Dios les recompense por su
bondad.
Los empleados de la Oficina Parroquial

viniendo aquí pero nunca se registró, tenga la bondad de
pasar a la oficina parroquial para completar la forma. Y si
no está seguro si ya se registró, márquenos e investigaremos
nuestro registro. Y no se preocupe –todo se mantiene
confidencial.
El Próximo Fin de Semana

Epifanía significa manifestación. En este día, Jesús se
manifestó al mundo entero—a toda cultura y
tradición—como el Cristo. Así pues, le invitamos a usted
y a su familia a vestirse o ponerse alguna prenda típica
de su país de origen que representa su patrimonio étnico
cuando venga a Misa el próximo domingo. Haga planes
para quedarse un poco para disfrutar de la compañía de
su familia parroquial.
¿Piensas casarte en Sta. Juana de Arco? Llama a la
oficina parroquial al menos 6 meses antes de la
fecha en que deseas celebrar el sacramento para
hacer cita con el Padre Joseph.

CCE Reflexión de la Semana
El tema para el evangelio de esta semana es “Los
Reyes Magos encuentran al Rey nacido” Las
preguntas para el evangelio del próximo domingo son:
Adultos: ¿Cómo refleja mi vida una búsqueda
verdadera y paciente del Señor? ¿Qué
sacrificios estoy haciendo en mi búsqueda
del Señor?
Niños: ¿En dónde puedo buscar a Jesús y
encontrarlo?
HONRARÁS A TU PADRE
Y A TU MADRE
Ministerio al Enfermo
Sta. Juana de Arco tiene un maravilloso y
compasivo equipo de Ministros de
Eucaristía al Enfermo y Confinado en Casa.
Si conoce a alguien que esté enfermo o no puede ir a
Misa pero desea recibir la Santa Comunión, favor de
llamar a la Oficina Parroquial y organizaremos una
visita de uno de nuestros ministros. Si su pariente o amigo
desea recibir el Sacramento de los Enfermos,
arreglaremos una visita por un sacerdote.
TRADICIONES DE
NUESTRA FE
Durante siglos, en el continente
latinoamericano, el respeto a los
ancianos ha sido la base social que
nutre nuestras culturas.
Lamentablemente este respeto
empieza a desvanecerse por la
invasión de una mentalidad occidental que valora sólo la
juventud. A nuestro alrededor hay muchos de nuestros
mayores menospreciados y olvidados por su avanzada
edad y fragilidad. A su vez, vemos muchos niños
vagabundeando y mal formándose por la falta de
supervisión adulta. Es necesario que estos ancianos y
niños se encuentren y se bendigan mutuamente.
San Lucas (2:22-40) recuerda dos bellos momentos
en la infancia de Jesucristo: la bendición del anciano
Simeón y el encuentro con Ana, la profetisa. Estos dos
ancianos piadosos frecuentaban al templo de Jerusalén
con la esperanza de ver al Mesías. Me imagino que José
y María se sorprendieron mucho cuando se les acercaron
estos dos viejitos. Pero la santa pareja no les negó su
niñito a los brazos de estos dos ancianos. El niño les
alegró la vida y ellos glorificaron a Dios. La bendición que
le dieron a Jesús lo acompañó toda su vida.

28 de diciembre de 2014
Todos sabemos que uno de los
mandamientos de Dios –el cuarto, para
más señas– nos ordena “Honrarás a tu
padre y a tu madre”.
Todos sabemos que honrar a nuestros
padres (a aquel y a aquella que nos
amaron antes de conocernos y que nos siguen amando
después de conocernos, lo cual tiene más chiste) es
agradable a Dios.
Pero lo que quizá no todos sabíamos es qué tan
agradable le es a Dios el cumplimiento de este precepto
del decálogo, hasta que escuchamos la primera lectura
de hoy, en la que se explica la recompensa que le está
prometida al que lo cumpla.
En beneficio de aquellos que llegaron un poco tarde a
Misa o que por la mala acústica de su iglesia no oyeron
bien la lectura, hagamos un breve resumen de ella:
El
que honra a su padre, queda limpio de pecado
El
que respeta a su madre, acumula tesoros.
Quien
honra a sus padres, encontrará alegría en sus
hijos
El
que enaltece a sus padres no quedará en el olvido
y se tomará a cuenta de nuestros pecados
Nada más pero nada menos.
Y eso es,
Palabra de Dios
HA RECORDADO A SU PARROQUIA EN SU TESTAMENTO?

Scripture Readings for January 4, 2015
Epiphany of the Lord
First Reading: Isaiah 60:1-6
Isaiah predicts the grandeur of Jerusalem restored and
rebuilt. He sees Israel rising as a shining light to nations
and their rulers. Not only will the Israelites return to
Jerusalem from exile, but Gentiles will come, bearing gold
and frankincense and proclaiming the glory of the Lord.
Second Reading: Ephesians 32:3a, 5-6
St. Paul proclaims the Gentiles as coheirs with the
Jews, members of the same body and copartners in the
promise of Jesus Christ.
Gospel: Matthew 2:1-12
When Herod heard of the Magi seeking the newborn
king of the Jews, he sent for the Magi and asked them to
let him know when they found him, so that he too could
do him homage. The Magi found Jesus and presented
him with gold, frankincense and myrrh. Being warned in
a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their
country by a different way.
Reflection:
∗
Has there ever been a time in your life that you had an
epiphany -- where you came from darkness into light?
What was the new insight or revelation that came upon
you? What in your life changed because of it?
December 28, 2014
Whole Community
Catechesis
The theme for next Sunday’s Gospel is “The Magi found
the Newborn King” The reflection questions for the week
are:
Adults: How does my life reflect a true and pa ent search
for the Lord? What sacrifices am I ready to make to
pursue this search for the Lord?
Kids: Where can I look for Jesus and find him?
