THE BAPTISM OF THE LORD
Greetings in Christ!
On behalf of the entire community of St. Francis de Sales Parish, I would like to take this opportunity to send a letter of thanks and
appreciation to many the volunteers who recently made our Advent, Christmas Masses so memorable. I thank all the liturgical ministries,
glorious music, beautiful art and environment, and wassail served by our Pastoral Council. I know that it takes many hours of preparation
behind the scenes for such a wonderful Christmas celebration.
I also thank you in behalf of the Priests and Deacons for the Christmas cards, monetary gifts and delicious homemade goodies.
I thank all of you for coming to celebrate the Christmas Masses in our beautiful church.
I also wanted to take this opportunity to wish a Happy New Year to you and your family as we once again enter another year of potential
and possibilities! As we enter this year with optimism about the things which lie ahead, as well as the knowledge our Lord will lead and
guide us, we also realize there will be moments of great challenge as we move forward.
One reason I enjoy the Word of God is that it doesn’t “sugar coat” the facts. While you and I appreciate the great victories in our lives, we
must always remember that a victory is not really a victory without a battle! If I were to have people stand in two lines this coming Sunday
at church with one of the lines representing those who would rather not have battles in the next year, and the other line filled with those
who wanted to have battles, I have a feeling the “non-battle” line would be a bit more crowded!
I have always been inspired by the words of Caleb of “Joshua and Caleb fame” in the Word as they were poised to enter the Promised Land
after wandering with the unbelieving people for 40 years in the wilderness. He didn’t allow their unbelief and failure deter him from the
promises of God, and the defeats of the past weren’t going to affect his faith about the future!
If you have a few moments read the following scripture and take a moment to compare it to what’s behind and what lies ahead.
Joshua 14:10-12 “A nd now, behold, the Lord has kept me alive, as He said, these forty-five years, ever since the Lord spoke this word to
Moses while Israel wandered in the wilderness; and now, here I am this day, eighty-five years old. As yet I am as strong this day as on the
day that Moses sent me; just as my strength was then, so now is my strength for war, both for going out and for coming in. Now therefore,
give me this mountain of which the Lord spoke in that day; for you heard in that day how the Anakim were there, and that the cities were
great and fortified. It may be that the Lord will be with me, and I shall be able to drive them out as the Lord said.”
Those words “…give me this mountain” are powerful words to read! The New Year might seem like a mountain, but with God walking
with us and available to us, the victories that lie ahead are many!
May God richly bless you and yours in the New Year!
Fr. Joseph Son Phan

LO QUE NECESITAMOS DE HACER EN LA MISA
MISA DE JOVENES
En la Misa necesitamos guardar silencio. El silencio es la
tranquilidad de la vida interior, como el silencio al fondo
de un manantial escondido. Llegando unos 15 minutos
antes que comience la Misa podemos preparar nuestra
mente, corazón, y espíritu. La Misa es lo más sagrado. Se les pide
que guarden silencio y reverencia. El mismo sacrificio del Calvario
se hace presente en cada Misa. Un trozo de pan y un poco de vino se
convierten en el Cuerpo y Sangre de Jesús. Este gran milagro se
realiza en cada Misa. Les pedimos que, por lo mas sagrado, guarden
las siguiente reglas:







ATENCION JOVENES—SE LES INVITA A

Padres: no permitan que sus hijos usen el celular durante la
Misa. Si urge usarlo, por favor salga de la Iglesia.
Los niños no deben comer en la iglesia y se les pide a los padres
que a los niños los acompañe siempre un adulto al baño para
mantener limpia la casa de Dios!
Si los niños están inquietos, llévenlos al cuarto de los niños para
que no interrumpan cuando el sacerdote esta predicando o
consagrando.
Venimos a la presencia de Dios, que nuestro modo de vestir y
actitud sean decoroso y decente, pero sobre todo, vengamos con
amor a Dios y al projimo.
Los acomodadores son voluntarios de la Iglesia y solo siguen las
reglas que el sacerdote ha delineado para que haya orden. Sean
atentos, respetuosos, pero sobre todo obedientes, ya que cuando
ellos les hacen un llamado de atención, no lo hacen por
molestarlos. Por ordinanza de las leyes de la cuidad todos deben
tomar asiento. Por favor traten de ser comprensivos y cooperar
con ellos en vez de quejarse o discutir.
Respetemos el area del Coro guardando silencio y recordando
que alli hay microfonos abiertos. Esta area esta reservada para
el coro solamente.
