Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church extends a cordial welcome to all our visitors at Sunday and daily Masses.

Thank you for your participation in each mass celebration of our church. Together our prayer make us Family of God.

La Iglesia Católica Blessed Sacrament extiende una cordial bienvenida a todos nuestros visitantes a las Misas dominicales y a las misas diarias. Muchas gracias poir su participación en cada celebración de la misa en nuestra iglesia. Juntos nuestra oración nos hace una Familia de Dios.

Se Marcharon a su Tierra por Otro Camino Una vez más se cumple lo que había anunciado Dios por boca de sus santos profetas. En la Epifanía del Señor, Jesús se manifiesta al mundo, se da a conocer. Y quien le descubre o le conoce ene hoy como modelo y ejemplo a los magos de Oriente. Ellos reciben el anuncio del Rey que iba a nacer, no esca man esfuerzo, lo dejan todo para ir a su encuentro. O sea: se empoderan, toman acción, porque saben lo que es realmente importante. Así mismo, nosotros hoy podemos vernos en este espejo de esos magos y revisar nuestra propia experiencia de la manifestación de Jesús a cada uno de nosotros. ¿Cómo hemos reaccionado? ¿Qué hemos hecho? ¿Hemos sido capaces de dejar atrás algunas pasiones y afanes del diario vivir para encontrarnos con Jesús? En nuestra vida siempre habrá cosas urgentes que hacer que no necesariamente son impor-tantes, pero que nos distraen de realizar las que realmente son importantes, aunque aparentemente no sean urgentes. ¿Tomamos empo para encon-trar a Jesús y adorarlo? También esto lo aprendemos de los magos de Oriente que sabían que estaban en la presencia de Alguien especial, de un enviado de Dios, un Rey que había nacido. Cuando nos presentamos ante Jesús, ¿llegamos con las manos vacías o llenas de regalos? El Señor no espera de nosotros oro, incienso, y mirra; pero si de oro se trata, lo que espera es un corazón de oro, entregado y consagrado a Él, y las manos llenas de buenas acciones, demostraciones de amor a Él, a través del amor a aquellos creados a imagen y semejanza suya. Amor que se da sin reservas ni egoísmos, ni tampoco para ser vistos por otros, sino solamente por Dios. Y por úl mo, así como aquellos magos encontraron al Niño Rey, después de adorarlo y presentarle los regalos, regresaron por otro camino. Nosotros después de encontrar al Niño Dios, nuestra vida ene que tomar otro camino: nunca volver al camino viejo del cual nos salvó Dios mostrándonos la Luz del mundo, dándose a conocer, manifestándose al mundo a través de su Hijo Jesús, el Niño Dios cuya Epifanía hoy celebramos. Que este Año 2019, Año Jubilar nos sirva para encontrar y adorar en la vida diaria a nuestro Señor Jesucristo del San simo Sacramento.

Feliz Año Nuevo!

Once More, with Discovering Hanging a fresh calendar on the wall can feel like a benedic on. The old year – with all those scribbled appointments and plans that may or may not have been realized, all the birthdays for which we may have remembered or failed to send a card – is in the recycle bin. We get a clean page, all of us, to write on. On January 1, we can make the New Year anything we want it to be. That theory gets its first test on January 2, when we rise to assess how the year is going so far. Did our resolu ons make it to day two? Has anything changed besides the calendar? If it’s any consola on, human history transforms itself even more slowly and painfully than individuals do. Each genera on hopes that na ons will come into the light, that world leaders will choose to shine with benevolence, wisdom, and hopeful ideas to support

the common good. We hope for heroes, for breakthroughs, for jus ce and peace, equality and freedom. These are s ll goals worth praying for – and choosing for. “Skip the personal resolu ons.

Write a list of Hopes for the 2019 Jubilee Year of Our Par-ish. Consider what you can do to make these dreams come true.” “What’s mine is yours.” We say these words of deep hospitality only to those whom we par cularly choose to honor. With these words we give the chosen few access to our home, our table, and all of our staff. St. Paul took the hospitality to the extreme when he said all he had was God’s gi to him – for the sake of the Greco-Roman world. Pau handed over the balance of his life to the world he knew as its divinely appointed missionary. That’s some offer. Magi arrived in Jerusalem saying, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews?” This was not a poli cally astute inquiry, but the magi are not men who concern themselves with the halls of power. Their well-traveled beat is learning; the ques on makes perfect sense to one who respects truth for its own sake. This does not describe Herod, who cares only about maintaining control. This saga could have ended in disaster, for the newborn king, and for the wise men who knew about him. Happily, wisdom arrives in dreams to dreamers, who depart another way. The new King remains hidden and safe. For now.

Happy New Year!

Week of Prayer for Christian Unity January 18 - 25

Those dates were proposed in 1908 by Servant of God, Fr. Paul Wattson, Founder of the Society of the Atonement, to cover the original days of the Feasts of the Chair of St. Peter (January 18) and the Conversion of St. Paul (January 25), and therefore have a symbolic significance. The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity 2019 theme has been selected, and finds its origins in Deuteronomy. “Justice, Only Justice, You Shall Pursue” - Deuteronomy 16:20, was chosen for its powerful message of promoting truth, equality and unity.
