Dear Brothers and Sisters,

Today is the Feast of the Baptism of the Lord. As Christians, we are called to recognize our great dignity as be-loved children of God, called to carry out the works of God and devote our lives to the service of others as members of God's Family.

John the Baptist recognized Jesus as the Messiah, as the Spirit came down upon Him. We can see Jesus’ pres-ence in people and circumstances right before our eyes in family, in situations at work, in someone suffering. We open our hearts to recognize Jesus among us in the face of our neighbors and in reaching out to those who are burdened.

This week we celebrate as a community of faith our giftedness in the presence of our dedicated catechists, minis-ters and committed volunteers who generously share their time and talents.

In Christ, Benjamin Romero Arrieta, C.M.F.

Querido Hermanos & Hermanas,

Hoy es la fiesta del Bautismo del Señor. Estamos llamados a reconocer nuestra gran dignidad como hijas e hijos amados de Dios; llamados a llevar a cabo las obras de Dios y dedicar nuestras vidas al servicio de los demás como miembros de la Familia de Dios. Juan el Bautista reconoció a Jesús como el Mesías cuando el Espíritu descendió sobre Él. Podemos ver la pre-sencia de Jesús en las personas y las circunstancias ante nuestros ojos en la familia, en las situaciones en el trabajo, en alguien que sufre. Abrimos nuestros corazones a reconocer a Jesús en medio de nosotros en la cara de nuestros vecinos y en llegar a aquellos que están agobiados. Esta semana celebramos en comunidad de fe nuestros dones en la presencia de nuestros catequistas, ministros y voluntarios comprometidos que comparten generosamente su tiempo y su talento.

En Cristo, Rev. Benjamin Romero Arrieta, C.M.F.
