WELCOME SOMEONE HOME
The Remembering
Community of
St. Patrick provides a
warm and welcoming
environment to aid
returning or inactive
Catholics in remembering their baptismal
heritage, returning to the communion table
and to an active Catholic life as a disciple
of Jesus Christ.
Coming home to self, to community and
to God is achieved by having a community
of faithful companions at your side to
support you on this very personal faith
journey—companions who will welcome,
support, listen, share their own faith
stories, and pray with and for those who
wish to return to the faith community.
Remembering will meet in Conference
Room 3 located on the second level on
Benham Street. We will be exploring our
faith stories, forgiveness and healing,
changes in the church, and building
community.
Please join us at 11:15 AM to 12:30 PM
on Sunday, Jan 6, 13, 20 and 27, 2008. All
are welcome.

La Sagrada Familia de Jesús, Maria y José
30 de diciembre de 2007
CONFIANZA EN DIOS
El relato de San Mateo sobre la huída a Egipto gana
protagonismo hoy mientras continuamos siguiendo el
relato de la Sagrada Familia.
Una vez más, el ángel del Señor se le aparece a José
en sueños, diciéndole que lleve al niño Jesús y a su
madre a Egipto. José acata la orden y los guía en un
viaje que debe haber sido agotador. San Mateo no nos da detalles pero
podemos imaginar cuán difícil debe haber sido este viaje. ¿Dónde comieron?
¿Dónde se alojaron? ¿Cómo eran los caminos? ¿Pudo encontrar trabajo José?
La Sagrada Familia sobrevivió en gran medida porque depositó su confianza
en Dios. Esto es exactamente lo que la fiesta de hoy nos llama a ser, la familia
sagrada de Dios.
LECTURAS DE HOY
Primera lectura — Los que
honran a sus padres recibirán
bendiciones y pagarán sus pecados
(Sirácide 3:2-6, 12-14).
Salmo — Dichoso el que teme al Señor, y
sigue sus caminos (Salmo 128(127)).
Segunda lectura — Vivan una vida de
amor sincero, sean agradecidos, hagan
todo en el nombre del Señor Jesús; vivan
en armonía (Colosenses 3:12-21).
Evangelio — Después que partieron los
Magos, José tomó a María y al niño de noche y se fueron a Egipto para escapar la
persecución de Herodes. Regresaron
después y se quedaron en Nazaret (Mateo
2:13-15, 19-23).
