“We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New
You!”
... Great to see so many join us for our Christmas
celebrations! A very special ‘Welcome home’ to all
of our family members back with us for the Christmas vacation! Family!
... The religious Christmas Season extends until
the feast of the Baptism of the Jesus, at the great
age of 30, and the beginning of his public life, this
year celebrated on Sunday (12).
... Today (29), we celebrate the feast of the Holy
Family of Jesus, Mary and Joseph. “Every effort to
make society sensitive to the importance of the family
is a great service to humanity!” Pope John Paul ll.
... This coming Sunday (5) we celebrate the feast
of the Epiphany, which marks the arrival of the
Three Kings at Bethlehem, and the manifestation of
Jesus as the Savior for all people. “Wise ones still
seek Him!”
... This Wednesday (1) we begin a whole new
year! Welcome 2014! Ring-in the New Year with
us at a special Family Mass at 9:00am.
... Wednesday (1) is the feast day of Mary, the
Holy Mother of God, and is also designated as a
World Day of Prayer for Peace. It is a holyday, but
not of obligation.
... Our Altar Society, with Sandi Brenner and Jamie
Templin, and many more, decorated our church for
Christmas, with help from Greg Butler, Matt and
Carol Williamson, Franco Aguilar and Adan Altamirano, who also planned our exterior décor!
... Shirley Shetula, and our Saint Vincent de Paul
Society, with a lot of ‘little’ and ‘not so little’ helpers, distributed 136 Christmas Baskets to needy
families, serving over 700 people. ‘Thank you’ for
your generosity and for all you make possible.
... A lot of credit to Isaac Deken and our teenagers
for their time, energy and commitment in decorating and preparing our Christmas Baskets! Mighty!
... Julie Marner, our Music Director, coordinated
the beautiful music at all of our Christmas celebrations, aided and abetted by our wonderful musicians and cantors! Thank you!
... Did you get your 2014 Church Calendar yet? If
not, there may still be some available in the Parish
Office. Keep up to date!
... Liz Beiner and our RCIA team welcome adults
who are interested in becoming Catholic. Join
them Tuesday (6) at 7:00pm in the Hall!
December 29, 2013
... Elizabeth Ann Bayley Seton was raised Episcopalian, was a wife and mother of five children, and
founded, in 1812, the first congregation for women
religious in USA, the Sisters of Charity, devoted to
teaching in primary schools. She died in 1821,
and, in 1975, was the first native born citizen to be
canonized. Her feast day is this Saturday (4).
... Our Altar Society Corporate Communion is Sunday (5) at 9:00am. Their Altar Society ‘Woman of
the Year’ Luncheon will follow Mass, and is at Cicciotti’s in Cardiff. For reservations and more info
call Laura Bobbio at 760 436-1715.
... The first Friday of each month, that’s this Friday (3), is a special day of prayer here at Saint John
for vocations to the priesthood in San Diego. The
8:00am Mass is followed by Adoration and Benediction of the Most Blessed Sacrament. Wow!
... Did you get your copy of our Parish Pictorial
Albums? A keepsake!

Ball’, set for Saturday, February 22, at the Sheraton in Carlsbad! It is always a great night!

classroom on Monday (6)!
... Be sure to find time over the Christmas to visit
the beautiful Crib Scene in the church. Bring the
children and grandchildren, and tell the story! As
we look at the crib scene, ponder the fact that we
best communicate with babies by a smile! Joy!
... Yes, it’s a good time to make new resolutions!
Go at it! How about exercise, diet, family, prayer,
literature, music, home, friends, service, Sundays,
parish? Strive for excellence, not perfection!
... “Let go of the past and go for the future. Go
confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live
the life you imagined!” A Happy New Year to all!

San Juan Evangelista
AMOR
Por generaciones, diversas culturas han considerado la
vida familiar como una necesidad sumamente útil. El libro de Sirácide introduce el honor y el
respeto. Tanto
para los judíos como
para los cristianos, el
valor de la familia da
otro audaz y espléndido paso. La familia es
vista como la escuela
indispensable donde
se aprende el amor.
Pablo se dirige a los Colosenses y presenta una lista de
virtudes que ayudan a crear una Iglesia sólida y feliz. Estas virtudes — misericordia, bondad, humildad, docilidad,
paciencia, perdón — contribuyen también a que una familia feliz se sienta cómoda consigo misma y con sus miembros. Y como pilar, Pablo insta al amor que eleva todas
estas virtudes a la perfección.
Pablo parece estar muy entusiasmado cuando exalta
las virtudes de la Iglesia en Colosas. Con estas virtudes
tan sentidas no es de extrañar que Pablo rompa a cantar:¡Quién no haría lo mismo!
Está claro que el centro de su círculo es el amor. Es
evidente que no importa cuan lejos sus miembros estén
del hogar, el corazón siempre está allí y todos ellos están
conectados por la fuerza gravitatoria del amor mutuo.
MISA DE AÑO NUEVO
Diciembre 29, 2013
María Madre de Dios
En naciones latinoamericanas se
celebra el final de un año con la
“quema del año viejo”.
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.
UN PENSAMIENTO
PARA DESEARLES UN
FELIZ AÑO NUEVO
Miércoles 1, a las 9:00 am.
Todos están invitados a venir y participar en esta
misa de acción de gracias. Todos juntos démosle
gracias a Dios por el año que termino y por el año
Nuevo que empieza. La Misa será en Ingles.

Está por comenzar
un año nuevo, ya no tiene
importancia lo malo que te
haya pasado en el año que
se va, empezaras una nueva pagina en tu libro de la
vida y eso es lo importante, ya no hay vuelta atrás en
este libro, no podrás arrancar las hojas ni borrar nada
de lo escrito en ellas, lo único que puedes hacer es
reflexionar sobre lo que estuvo bien y lo que estuvo
mal. Espero que tengas muchas cosas buenas de lo que
puedas estar orgulloso/a, y lo malo ya no importa,
todo eso ya paso y ahora eso quedará en el pasado,
solo trata de no volver a cometer los mismos errores.
Plantéate nuevos objetivos y nuevas metas; claro,
siempre y cuando sean buenas tendrás la capacidad de
lograrlos, te deseo mucha suerte, salud, paz, alegría, y
todas las cosas buenas de la vida para este próximo
año 2014 y todos los que vengan por delante....... M.M.
