             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 from 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).

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK

 

 

Just inside the main entryway of the church are large reproductions of the original images of Our Lady of Guadalupe and Divine Mercy. The images are authorized sacred objects of evangelization that extend the graces of conversion, truth and healing associated with the originals. In 2004 the image of the Virgin of Guadalupe was actually touched to the original tilma of St. Juan Diego that is located in the Guadalupe Basilica in Mexico. The image of Divine Mercy was blessed on Divine Mercy Sunday in 2004. These two images were presented to Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish on November 15th, 2009 at the conclusion of a Special Presentation sponsored by the Foundation of Life and Mercy. This evangelization effort was blessed by Pope John Paul II. Copies of these pictures have been delivered to many churches in several countries since the initiative began. They represent God’s gifts of Life and Mercy, and should be revered as such.

A vision of Heaven
As Dale McKay was facing death, he spoke to writer Nancy Schertzing about his feelings and his hopes for heaven. Later, Nancy spoke with Dale's widow, Ellen, who shared the joy of their marriage and the moving experience of Dale's death. Their story is filled with love and hope that speaks to all of us.
