JANUARY 12, 2020 BAPTISM OF THE LORD
JANUARY 13-18, 2020
S M R
Isaiah 42:1-4, 6-7; Psalm 29; Acts 10:34-38; Matthew 3:13-17
This Sunday’s celebration of the Baptism of the Lord closes the Christmas season. In the scriptures we see one more epiphany, or manifestation, of the Spirit of God in Jesus—but this time it is as an adult, rather than as a child. Jesus’ baptism also serves as the inauguration of his prophetic mission and the messianic age. Today’s reading from Isaiah describes God’s chosen Messiah, upon whom God’s spirit rests. In the Acts of the Apostles Peter says that “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power” (Acts 10:38). Finally, in the proclamation from Matthew’s Gospel Jesus’ baptism in water goes almost unnoticed. The crucial moment comes when the Spirit of God comes upon Jesus and a voice from heaven echoes the words of Isaiah: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:17).

Mateo 3:13-17 Con la celebración del Bautismo del Señor este domingo concluye el tiempo de Navidad. En las lecturas vemos más de una epifanía o manifestación del Espíritu de Dios en Jesús, sólo que esta vez ya no como niño, sino como adulto. El Bautismo de Jesús es también la inauguración de su misión profética y de la era mesiánica. En la lectura de hoy Isaías describe al Mesías elegido por Dios sobre el cual ha puesto su Espíritu. En los Hechos de los Apóstoles Pedro dice que “Dios ungió con el poder del Espíritu Santo a Jesús de Nazaret” (Hechos 10:38). Finalmente, en las proclamación del Evangelio de Mateo el Bautismo de Jesús en el agua casi pasa desapercibido. El momento crucial ocurre cuando el Espíritu de Dios desciende sobre Jesús y una voz del cielo viene como un eco de las palabras de Isaías: “Éste es mi Hijo muy amado, en quien tengo mis complacencias” (Mateo 3:17).

O P Air in D Major—J.S. Bach (1685-1750)
This exquisitely beautiful composition is actually from an orchestral suite. Because of its style, it has been
successfully transcribed for the organ.
O P Prelude and Fugue in G Major—J.S. Bach (1685-1750)
The Prelude and Fugue in G Major has for many years been attributed to Bach. However, through research it appears that this work plus seven other preludes an dfugues may have been written by a student of Bach’s, Johann Krebs (1713-1780).

Nació en Poitiers (Francia) y durante su juventud abrazó el cristianismo junto con toda su familia. Gracias a su ejemplo cristiano, su misma gente lo eligió como obispo en el año 353. Como obispo destacó por su formación intelectual y su firmeza en la defensa de la fe, especialmente contra los arrianos, un grupo de cristianos que negaban la divinidad de Cristo. Fue desterrado a Frigia (Asia) en el año 356, pero esto no le impidió defender a la Iglesia de los ataques, debatiendo incluso, a los obispos arrianos. Debido a la firmeza y conocimiento de causa con que combatía a sus interlocutores, los mismos arrianos pidieron al Emperador que lo regresara a casa, a su Iglesia, donde se habían mantenido fieles a sus enseñanzas. Con los obispos que habían cedido a los arrianos fue firme para hacerles ver sus errores, pero compasivo en su trato con ellos. Su celo por la fe, así como sus escritos le valieron el título de “maestro de las Iglesias”. En 1851 el Papa Pío IX lo declaró Doctor de la Iglesia. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S.

Born in Poitiers, France, whose populace would later elect him bishop, Hilary, married and a father, was converted from paganism to Christianity through his reading of scripture. The focus of his prayerful study was the Prologue to the Gospel according to John, which portrays Jesus as the divine Logos, eternally begotten of the Father. As a result, Hilary became in the words of the biblical scholar Jerome, “the Latin Trumpet against the Arians,” heretics who believed Jesus to be merely human, not divine. In defense of Christ’s divinity, Hilary was not only eloquent in debate but utterly fearless in the face of relentless persecution and even exile. Thus by the witness of his own discipleship, Hilary taught that faith in Jesus as the divine Son of God has consequences. Reflecting on Jesus’ challenge to his disciples, “You are the salt of the earth” (Matthew 5:13), Hilary notes that, as salt both preserves from corruption and adds savor to food, so must the faithful disciple bear a witness that, by word and example, leads others to immortality and virtuous living. —James Field.

GOOD NEWS
S H H This year, Sacred Heart celebrates the 140th anniversary of its founding in 1880 when it was known as Saints Peter and Paul. Throughout the year we will be hosting celebratory events and providing interesting historical facts for parishioners and visitors to enjoy. Please see below for our first excerpt of this series Up until the late 60’s, the lower level of Sacred Heart (or the undercroft, as it is sometimes known) was another church. It was used for overflow crowds on major religious holidays, but mainly for children’s Masses when there were three schools on the Sacred Heart campus—Sacred Heart Elementary School, St. Joseph’s High School, and Marist College. This lower church occupied the entire lower level, extending east to the exterior wall through what is now the kitchen and west to the “dungeon” under the church’s narthex. It was used until the late 60’s when the Archdiocese started requiring that all parishes have religious education programs. The then-director of religious education, and later Sacred Heart pastor, Rev. Michael A. (Tony) Morris was responsible for directing the conversion from church to Parish Hall-and-classrooms from his office at Marist College. (Some information provided by long-time parishioners Alice Heffernan-Sneed and Fran Carroll.)
