They and we are to be blessed by the invocation of God’s loving kindness, the shining glory of God’s face turned toward us in love, not away from us in anger. We are blessed by God’s own peace! Our wish and our hope are fulfilled in this blessing, which is made visible in the coming of Jesus. In Jesus, the image of the invisible God, God’s face is shown to us and God’s presence is made known to us in faithful and loving kindness.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION “Octave” comes from the Latin word for “eight,” and since eight is one step beyond seven, the number of days in a week, it has long been seen as a symbol of perfection, completion, and new beginnings. Early Christians called Sunday the “eighth day,” since it was the day after the Sabbath and a day of resurrected life, the Lord’s Day. By the seventh century, people regarded the eight days after Easter Sunday as one great day, an octave, one glorious feast when people were forbidden to fast or kneel. In the seventh century, Pentecost acquired an Octave, too. Christmas didn’t claim the honor of a continuous feast, but it did get an Octave Day. January 1 is the oldest Marian feast, the Octave of Christmas. It was originally a feast of the motherhood of Mary, although for centuries until 1969 it was called the Feast of the Circumcision. Our reformed calendar follows the earlier tradition of celebrating Mary as Mother of God.

This is not much different than the golden road that Dorothy was on, as she made her way to The Wizard of Oz. Like her, our students have many people helping them reach their des na on. They have our priests, who o en include a lively and student focused lesson about the history of our Church during our Wednesday masses. Students have learned that the mass can include prayers in the Greek and in Hebrew languages. Our priests take the step-by-step approach of educa ng our students to help them be er understand our Catholic Tradi on. Just before going to Mass, we hold our Mission Mass gathering with all of our students. In this space, we usually meet with Principal Zelenka, and he leads students to see God in our world and his relevance to their lives today. He breaks down and explains the Mass readings in a way that is very engaging to students. In the classrooms, students get daily opportuni es to delve deeper into Catholic Tradi ons and biblical teachings. For example, in our literature class, our students make connec ons from the text to faith. In essence, we look for God’s presence and his lessons in any story we read. Using the idea that “God is in the details”, we set out to purposely look for Him in books of varying genres. Con nuing on this path of the yellow brick road, monthly, students will be going to Adora on. This is a wonderful opportunity for them to come into a closer and more personal relaonship with God. The visits to Adora on are amazing and life changing! This is the place where they will encounter the living God. Walking into ICS is like walking down the yellow brick road towards heaven. We are all on it because we want to meet and see God. He has placed our great Priests, directors, and teachers on this path to help guide our students to Him, while they learn about His love for them along the way. If you have any ques ons or would like any addi onal informa on about becoming a part of the ICS Family, please contact our ICS Registrar, Mrs. Michele Moody, to set up a personal tour at (813)884-4502 or [email protected] 5 ALTAR SERVERS - Jennifer Clavell - 813-244-8039 or José Clavell – 813-244-8053 COUPLES FOR CHRIST - Ar thur Bar laan - 813-918-0611 or Joy Barlaan 813-434-7651 Email: [email protected] EUCHARISTIC MINISTERS - If you would like to join this ministry contact Frank Salamone Phone: 813-205-8259 Email: [email protected] READERS - Fr.

Construyen grandes muñecos con ropa vieja, pólvora y papel que se encienden a medianoche entre los dos años. Celebrar el comienzo de un año nuevo tiene una larga trayectoria en la historia humana. Hace unos 4000 años el pueblo de Babilonia ya festejaba la llegada de un nuevo año con grandes fiestas de primavera. Los judíos, al igual que otros pueblos agrícolas, también celebraban su año nuevo durante la primavera, el primer día de Nisán (a principios de abril). Fue Julio César quien nos dio la fecha del primero de enero como el inicio de nuestro calendario. En 1582 el Papa Gregorio XIII reformó el calendario para darnos el que actualmente está en uso. No obstante, los cristianos continuaron celebrando el año nuevo en primavera para evitar los excesos del “hombre viejo”. Hace 400 años la Iglesia comenzó a celebrar el día primero de enero buscando cristianizarlo lo mejor posible. Por eso en el calendario litúrgico este día es dedicado a María, Madre de Dios. LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — El Señor te bendiga y te proteja. Que el Señor te mire con benevolencia y te conceda la paz (Números 6:22-27). Salmo — El Señor tenga piedad y nos bendiga (Salmo 67 [66]). Segunda lectura — Dios envió a sus corazones el Espíritu de su Hijo, que clama “¡Abbá!” (Gálatas 4:4-7) Evangelio — Los pastores se volvieron a sus campos, alabando y glorificando a Dios por todo cuanto habían visto y oído (Lucas 2:16-21).
