Dear Friends,
Marriage is a human relationship which through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit is elevated to a place of supreme importance to depict
God’s relationship with his people. In the Old Testament Israel is described as “espoused” to the Lord, and in the New Testament we are
described as the bride of Christ. So it is not surprising that Jesus chose a marriage ceremony to begin displaying his power and glory. It is
also not surprising that the first miracle was the changing of a very ordinary element, water, into an extra-ordinary new substance, fine
wine. This event and early miracle from the life of Christ provides signs that foreshadow what Jesus and his ministry intended to
accomplish.
He had come to initiate, and secure for mankind, a new more intimate relationship with the Father through our uniting with him by faith.
The miracle of changing ordinary, utilitarian water into the finest wine pointed to the transforming aspect of that relationship. When we
unite with him by faith, it is not the simple merging of the Holy with the unholy, but rather we are transformed by the indwelling presence
of the Holy Spirit into a holy thing, his holy people, the Bride of Christ. Even as the water was changed in appearance into fine and
flavorful wine, so our union with Christ should result in the transformation of who we are into people whose appearance (character,
values, behavior) is qualitatively more flavorful (holy) than what we would naturally be.
This miracle was also a sign, or glimpse into Jesus’ divinity, enabling the disciples to begin perceiving what Mary already knew—that
Jesus is the Messiah, Emmanuel, God with us, full of glory and power. And this week’s Gospel reading indicates that they did begin to
recognize and believe in Christ. Each week as we observe and participate in the consecration and celebration of the Eucharist we should
be reminded of the transforming power and glory of Christ, and that Jesus wants to also change us into his likeness. To those around us
we may look like just the same old person but by God’s grace our character, values and behavior should reflect a miracle; his
transformation of the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Transformation begins when we respond to the all consuming gift of Christ with the freely given gift of ourselves. “Jesus is God-for-us,
God-with-us, God-within-us. Jesus is God giving himself completely, pouring himself out for us without reserve. Jesus doesn’t hold back
or cling to his own possessions. He gives all there is to give. ‘Eat, drink, this is my body, this is my blood … this is me for you.’ … God
desires communion: a unity that is vital and alive, an intimacy that comes from both sides, a bond that is truly mutual. Nothing forced or
‘willed,’ but a communion freely offered and received.”
(Henry Nouwen, 'With Burning Hearts')
May Mary our Mother watch over you and protect you always,
Fr. John
Queridos amigos,
El matrimonio es una relación humana que a través de la inspiración del Espíritu Santo se eleva a un lugar de suprema importancia para
representar la relación de Dios con su pueblo. En el Antiguo Testamento se describe a Israel como "desposada" al Señor y en el Nuevo
Testamento se nos describe como la novia de Cristo. Por lo que no es sorprendente que Jesús escogiera una ceremonia de matrimonio para
empezar a mostrar su poder y gloria. También, no es sorprendente que el primer milagro fue el cambio de un elemento muy común, el
agua, en una sustancia nueva extraordinaria, buen vino. Este evento y anticipado milagro de la vida de Cristo proporciona señales que
anuncian lo que Jesús y su ministerio pretenden lograr.
Él había venido a iniciar y garantizar para la humanidad, una nueva relación más íntima con el Padre a través de nuestra unión con él por
la fe. El milagro de cambiar agua ordinaria, en el mejor vino remarcó el aspecto transformador de esa relación. Cuando nos unimos con él
por la fe, no es la simple unión del Santo con el profano, sino más bien nos transformamos por la presencia permanente del Espíritu Santo
en algo santo, su Pueblo santo, la Novia de Cristo. Aun cuando el agua fue cambiada en apariencia en vino fino y sabroso, así nuestra
unión con Cristo debe dar lugar a la transformación de quienes somos, en personas cuyo aspecto (carácter, valores, comportamiento) es
cualitativamente más sabroso (Santo) de lo que sería naturalmente.
Este milagro fue también un signo, o visión de la divinidad de Jesús, permitiendo a los discípulos a empezar a percibir lo que María ya
sabía: que Jesús es el Mesías, Emmanuel, Dios con nosotros, lleno de gloria y poder. Y en la lectura del Evangelio de esta semana indica
que los discípulos empezaron a reconocer y creer en Cristo. Cada semana al observar y participar en la consagración y la celebración de la
Eucaristía nos debemos recordar el poder transformador y la gloria de Cristo, y que Jesús quiere también cambiarnos a su semejanza. Para
los que nos rodean, podemos vernos como la misma vieja persona, pero por la gracia de Dios nuestro carácter, valores y comportamiento
deben reflejar un milagro; su transformación de lo ordinario en lo extraordinario.
La transformación comienza cuando respondemos al regalo de todo consumidor de Cristo con el don gratuito de nosotros mismos. “Jesús
es Dios - para - nosotros, Dios-con - nosotros, Dios - en - nosotros. Jesús es Dios entregándose por completo, sirviéndose para nosotros
sin reservas. Jesús no se contiene o se aferra a sus propias posesiones. Él da todo lo que hay para dar ' Coman, beban, esto es mi cuerpo,
esta es mi sangre..... Este soy yo para ti.'... Dios desea la comunión: una unidad que es viva y vital, una intimidad que proviene de ambos
lados, un lazo que es realmente mutuo. Nada forzado o 'voluntad', pero una comunión libremente ofrecida y recibida." (Henry Nouwen,
'With Burning Hearts')
Que María nuestra madre vea por ustedes y los proteja siempre
Padre John

To our - Our Lady of the Hills parish family,
Last October brought hardship to many Columbians, our family included. We lost just about everything
including our home, but what we found far outweighed the devastation.
We found generosity, compassion and love from our parish. The youth group and adult parishioners were
wonderful. They helped remove the contents of the house. Father Peter and Father John were there working
right alongside of everyone.
The different organizations were very generous and without their help we could not have gotten by.
We wish to thank you all, for you are truly living the words of Christ with charity and love. To know your
parish is there when you need them, is such a comfort through the hard times. We feel blessed to belong to such
a loving parish.
God Bless you all,
The Gaynor Family
