MANIFESTING THE SPIRIT
The Christmas season closes
this Sunday with the Baptism of
the Lord. This feast is a sister to
last week’s feast of the Epiphany.
Each of them celebrates an
“epiphany,” or a manifestation of
the Spirit of God in Jesus—first in
his birth, and now at his baptism.
The divine Spirit is manifested
in all of the scriptures for this
feast. Psalm 104 highlights the
Spirit of God creating and
renewing the earth, while the
reading from Isaiah describes
God restoring Israel. In Luke’s
account of the baptism of the Lord
the Holy Spirit descends upon Jesus. And the letter to Titus reminds us
that the Holy Spirit was “richly poured out” on us also, through the “bath
of rebirth” (Titus 3:5, 6).
MANIFESTANDO AL ESPÍRITU
El tiempo de Navidad finaliza este domingo con el Bautismo del
Señor. Esta fiesta es hermana de la fiesta de la semana pasada, la
Epifanía. Cada una ellas celebra una “epifanía”, o manifestación del
Espíritu de Dios en Jesús —primero en su nacimiento y ahora en su
bautismo.
El Espíritu Divino se manifiesta en todas las lecturas bíblicas de la
fiesta. El Salmo 104 destaca al Espíritu de Dios que crea y renueva la
tierra, mientras que la lectura de Isaías describe a Dios restaurando a
Israel. En el relato de Lucas del bautismo del Señor el Espíritu Santo
desciende sobre Jesús. Y la carta a Tito nos recuerda que el Espíritu
Santo también “derramó con abundancia” sobre nosotros, el “baño de
regeneración” (Tito 3:5, 6).

A Word from Fr. Ray
Una Palabra de P. Ray
Happy New Year. Here’s hoping that this year brings
peace and prosperity. There are many political issues and
negative posturing in several countries around the
world. We must pray for “World Peace” as part of our
daily prayer to ease tensions between conflicting countries
and keep a perspective leading to sensible dialogue and
protection of citizens. Please pray for all leaders to make
decisions that speak to the needs of their citizens and their
safety.
We are making strides in our Five Year Plan projects,
and now the campus is showing signs of progress with
fresh paint on the exterior of all the buildings as well as the
interior of the church and parish center. Thank you again
for your donations towards this project, especially to some
of our benefactors for their support and generous
donations this past year. Many thanks go out to our
parishioners for being patient and understanding during
the painting projects. I believe the efforts put forth to
improve the look of our campus is well worth the
temporary inconveniences.
I also want to thank all of you that have been dedicated
in contributing to our debt reduction. The second collection
for debt reduction has been a blessing and has helped us
with the stress of paying down the debt.
As a great New Year’s Resolution, I would like to
suggest that you consider helping out in one of our
ministries for at least one year. We are in great need for
Readers, Extraordinary Eucharist Ministers, Table
Coordinators, and Hospitality Ministers at all the Masses,
especially the 4 pm Masses on both the Saturday and
Sunday Masses. Many of our ministers have contributed
their time and talent for many years, and it is high time that
we be encouraged to volunteer our time and talent and
give some of our long time volunteers a respite. It would
be nice to have larger pool of volunteers for the various
ministries to create a more realistic rotation system. So,
please consider helping our Christ the King Community by
contributing to these most important ministries.
Feliz año nuevo. Esperamos que este año traiga paz y
prosperidad. Hay muchas cuestiones políticas y posturas
negativas en varios países de todo el mundo. Debemos
orar por la "Paz Mundial", como parte de nuestra oración
diaria para aliviar las tensiones entre los países en
conflicto y mantener una perspectiva que lleva a un
diálogo sensato y protección de los ciudadanos. Por favor
oren por todos los líderes para que tomen decisiones que
hablan a las necesidades de sus ciudadanos y su
seguridad.
Estamos haciendo progresos en nuestros proyectos de
plan de cinco años, y ahora el campus está mostrando
señales de progreso con la pintura fresca en el exterior de
todos los edificios, así como el interior de la iglesia y el
centro parroquial. Gracias de nuevo por sus donaciones
para este proyecto, especialmente a algunos de nuestros
benefactores por su apoyo y donaciones generosas de
este año pasado. Muchas gracias a nuestros feligreses
por su paciencia y comprensión durante los proyectos de
pintura. Creo que los esfuerzos puestos adelante para
mejorar el aspecto de nuestro campus valieron la pena los
inconvenientes temporales.
También quiero agradecer a todos ustedes que se han
dedicado en la contribución a nuestra reducción de la
deuda. La segunda colección para la reducción de la
deuda ha sido una bendición y nos ha ayudado con el
estrés de pagar la deuda.
Como una gran resolución de Año Nuevo, me gustaría
sugerir que considere ayudar en uno de nuestros
ministerios por lo menos un año. Estamos en gran
necesidad de Lectores, Ministros Extraordinarios de la
Eucaristía, coordinadores de mesa, y los ministros de
hospitalidad en todas las misas, especialmente las 4 PM
en ambos misas del Sábados y Domingos. Muchos de
nuestros ministros han contribuido con su tiempo y talento
durante muchos años, y ya es hora de que nos animemos
a dar nuestro tiempo y talento y dar un poco de descanso
a nuestros voluntarios que ya tienen mucho tiempo. Sería
bueno tener un grupo amplio de voluntarios para los
diversos ministerios para crear un sistema de rotación
más realista. Así que, por favor considere ayudar a
nuestra comunidad CTK contribuyendo a estos ministerios
más importantes.
With much love and gratitude, Fr. Ray
Con mucho amor y gratitud, Padre Ray
LITURGY CORNER
We continue our reflection as we Walk the Road with Christ …
January 9/10, 2016 (The Baptism of the Lord)
As we continue our faith journey, beginning today with the Baptism of Christ, we will focus on how we “Walk the Road of
DISCOVERY.” Through baptism we began our faith journey of discovery – the discovery of who Christ is, who God is,
who we are in relationship to one another. We discover daily our baptismal call to service and what that service asks of
us. What is your relationship with Christ at this point in time? What have you discovered about God and yourself from
the time of your own baptism?
10 de enero de 2016 (el bautismo del Señor)
Mientras continuamos nuestra jornada de fe, a partir de hoy con el bautismo de Cristo, nos centraremos en cómo
"Andamos el camino de descubrimiento". Por el bautismo empezamos nuestro camino de fe del descubrimiento-el
descubrimiento de que Cristo es, quién es Dios, que estamos en relación unos con otros. Todos los días descubrimos
nuestro llamado bautismal y lo que nos pide ese servicio. ¿Cuál es tu relación con Cristo en este momento? ¿Qué
han descubierto acerca de Dios y a ti mismo desde el momento de tu propio bautismo?

Treasures from Our Tradition
Merry Christmas! Share that
cheerful greeting with some folks
today. They may wonder if you
have had any Elvis sightings
lately, attended Star Trek
conventions, or were Cleopatra in
a previous lifetime. Despite the
skeptics, today is solidly within the
Christmas season. In fact, in some
strands of the Christian tradition it
represents the clearest
manifestation of the mystery of the
Incarnation. On Christmas Day, for
example, the Gospel reading is the
Prologue of John’s Gospel, which
reveals the glory of Christ shining
through our humanity precisely in
his baptism.
At any rate, this is an ancient
feast, celebrated first in Egypt
sixteen centuries ago. More than
most other ancient people, the
Egyptians understood the
life giving properties of water. On
this day, they drew water from the
Nile, so central in the history of
their people, and reserved it in
honor. Many other places copied
the custom, so that St. John
Chrysostom wrote of people in
Antioch gathering at midnight to
collect flowing water into vessels
they brought from home since
“today there is a blessing on the
water.” At home for dinner tonight,
decorate the table with beautiful
bowls of water and white candles,
toast one another with goblets of
sparkling water, and light a
Christmas candle in the window
one last time. —Rev. James Field,
prophet, and king. This connects
Christians, the new Israel, to
ancient Israel, in which priests,
prophets, and kings were anointed
to show that the Spirit of God was
with them. It also connects us to
Jesus, as today’s scriptures show.
In the second reading we hear
that “God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and
power,” after which he “went about
doing good, for God was with
him” (Acts 10:38). Matthew shows
Jesus being symbolically anointed
with the Holy Spirit as God’s
chosen Son, and the first reading
describes what Jesus was chosen
to do: establish “justice on the
earth . . . open the eyes of the
blind . . . bring out . . . those who
live in darkness” (Isaiah 42:1, 7).
In short, Jesus was chosen as the
Messiah, or “Anointed One,” of
God who would inaugurate the
messianic era. The baptized are
chosen and anointed as well, to
continue Christ’s messianic
mission in the church. —Virginia

El Baustismo del Senor
Margarita salió del consultorio

de los últimos meses, renovada y
vigorizada. Fue como si la
memoria de sus músculos se
hubiera borrado y el poder de ellos
se hubiera desatado por medio de
las manos del masajista y de los
aceites aromáticos.
El rito del Bautismo incluye una
clase de “masaje” simbólico, que
tiene un propósito similar. Los
recién bautizados son ungidos con
el crisma fragante y habilitados
por el Espíritu Santo para vivir
como miembros de Cristo, quien
fue ungido sacerdote, profeta y
rey. Esto conecta a los cristianos,
el nuevo Israel, con el antiguo
Israel, en el cual los sacerdotes,
los profetas y los reyes eran
ungidos a fin de mostrar que el
Espíritu de Dios estaba con ellos.
También nos conecta a Jesús, tal
como lo indican las Escrituras de
hoy.
En la segunda lectura
escuchamos que “Dios ungió [a
Jesús de Nazaret] con el poder del
Espíritu Santo”, después de los
cual “él pasó haciendo el bien,
porque Dios estaba con
él” (Hechos 10:38). Mateo
presenta a Jesús siendo ungido
simbólicamente con el Espíritu
Santo como el Hijo predilecto de
Dios, y la primera lectura describe
aquello para lo cual fue escogido
Jesús: “para que manifieste el
derecho a las naciones . . . para
abrir los ojos a los ciegos . . . para
sacar del calabozo . . . a los que
viven en tinieblas” (Isaías 42:1, 7).
En breve, Jesús fue elegido como
el Mesías, o el “Ungido” de Dios,
que inauguraría la era mesiánica.
Los bautizados también son
elegidos y ungidos a fin de que
continúen la misión mesiánica de
Cristo en la Iglesia. —Virginia Stillwell

Family Weekly Prayer
The Knights of Columbus at CTK pray for the
success of your family becoming “Fully Alive”
through weekly prayer together. If you haven’t been
following this program of prayer that is outlined
each month in the weekly bulletin, you can get
started now! Set aside a place in your home to
meet weekly… pray for a few minutes… then,
discuss one of the monthly questions with each
other. Listen to each other without criticism or
correcting.
“Because the family that prays together stays
together, we want to learn to pray as a family.”
St. John Paul II in his Letter to Families said,
“Prayer needs to become a regular habit in the daily
life of each family. Prayer is thanksgiving, praise of
God, asking for forgiveness, supplication and
invocation. In all of these forms the prayer of the
family has much to say to God.”
Discussion Questions (after praying together):
1. During the day, what are some times when I
could take a minute to “touch base” with God
through prayer, perhaps asking His help or
simply thanking Him for His love and His
presence?
2. Just as talking can build a relationship, the
different kinds of prayer mentioned are all ways
to grow closer to God. What type makes me
most aware that God is near and a part of this
life He has given me?
3. How is our family touched and shaped by the
prayers of all of its members?

Small Church
CommuniƟes;
a way of being
Church
Small Church Communities are groups of 6 to 8
people who gather in homes to reflect on the
scriptures of the upcoming Sunday and their
significance in their lives. All ministries and
organizations connected to Christ the King are
asked to use a simple formula for prayer as
they gather: Read one of the scriptures for the
upcoming Sunday. Take a few moments to
reflect on one of the questions related to the
scripture (in Fr. Ray’s column). Invite
individuals to share their response with the
person next to them; encourage people to
share with someone they do not know well.
Before we know it we have grown closer as a
community!
