My Dear People,
Now that the celebration of Christmas has
come to a close, I want to thank all of you for your
efforts in making for a devout and joyful celebration.
There are too many to list here who have contributed
their time, talent, and other personal resources to
make these as successful as they were.
Having returned to Ordinary Time, it is time
to reflect on our ordinary lives and extraordinary
mission given to us by God. The challenges we face
on a daily basis to live by faith, hope, and love continue to call us to grow. While in the cold of winter,
nature seems to be dormant, tempting us to hide in
comfort and warmth, I am reminded of the words of
Pope Benedict XVI, “We are made for greatness, not
comfort!” Last year for Lent many of us read a book
entitled “Ordinary Lives, Extraordinary Mission”.
Perhaps a brief review of that material can get us off
to a good start as we progress through this New Year
together.
Fr. John

Queridos Feligreses,
Ahora que la celebración de la Navidad ha
llegado a su fin, quiero agradecer a todos ustedes por
sus esfuerzos en hacer la celebración una devota y
alegre .Hay demasiados para enumerara los que han
contribuido con su tiempo, talento y otros recursos
personales para hacer que estos hayan sido tan exitosos como fueron.
Habiendo regresado a tiempo ordinario, es el
momento de reflexionar sobre nuestra vida ordinaria y
extraordinaria misión que nos ha dado Dios. Los desafíos que enfrentamos a diario para vivir en la fe, la
esperanza y el amor siguen llamándonos a crecer.
Mientras que en el frío del invierno, la naturaleza parece estar latente, nos tienta a escondernos en la comodidad y calidez, me acuerdo delas palabras del Papa Benedicto XVI, "Estamos hechos para la grandeza,
no la comodidad!" El año pasado para la Cuaresma
muchos de nosotros leímos un libro titulado
"Redescubrir el Catolicismo”. Tal vez una breve revisión de ese material puede emprendernos aun buen
comienzo a medida que avanzamos a través de este
Año Nuevo juntos.
