YEAR OF MERCY December 8, 2015 - November 20, 2016

The Epiphany of the Lord `

In this Jubilee Year of Mercy, Epipha-ny celebrates God’s mercy shining on the magi from a guiding star. Their

kingdoms were far from Jerusalem, their religions far from God’s covenant with Israel. At first the star led the magi to Jerusalem, where they could “recalculate” their quest with the help of God’s own “GPS,” the Jewish scriptures. How challenging and humbling for the magi to discover that they would find the world’s Messiah not in a palace but with a poor couple in an insignificant village. That’s where God’s mercy, shining in the star, led the magi to worship Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Today the magi invite us to “recalculate” our life’s journey during this Jubilee Year—to follow the star of God’s mercy along the way of humble love, to discover a renewed personal relationship with Jesus ourselves and so become “guiding stars” leading other seekers to find Jesus, too.

La Epifanía del Señor

En este Año Jubilar de la Misericorida, la Epifanía celebra la misericordia de Dios brillando sobre los reyes magos desde la estrella que los guía. Sus reinos estaban muy lejos de Jerusalén, sus religiones muy lejos de la alianza de Dios con Israel. Al prin-cipio la estrella guió a los magos a Jerusalén en donde ellos podrían “recalcular” su búsqueda con la ayuda del propio “GPS” de Dios, las Escrituras ju-días. Que humilde y consternado debió ser el mo-mento en que los magos vieron al Mesías del mundo no en un palacio sino con una pareja pobre en un pueblito insignificante. Ahí es donde está la miseri-cordia de Dios, brillando en la estrella que guió a los magos a adorar a Jesús, el Príncipe de la Paz. Hoy los reyes magos nos invitan a “recalcular” nuestro camino de vida durante este Año Jubilar, siguiendo la estrella de la misericordia de Dios a lo largo del camino de amor humilde, para descubrir una rela-ción personal renovada con Jesús hacia nosotros mismos para que podamos convertirnos “estrellas guías” dirigiendo también a otros buscadores a en-contrar a Jesús.

PROTECTING OUR CHILDREN

DID YOU KNOW?

Monitor online activity on all devices - In the past, parents had been advised to place the family com-puter in an open area such as a kitchen or family room so that they may easily monitor activity. To-day, most social contact, especially among young people, is conducted almost exclusively on smart phones and tablets. Technology continues to rapidly change. All of us must continue our efforts to stay abreast of the many new mobile device apps that may be used by young people to communicate with others and could potentially be used to manipulate or abuse them. For a copy of the VIRTUS® article “Mobile App Danger,” email jvienna@la-archdiocese.org

¿SABIA USTED?

Monitoree en línea la actividad de todos los apa-ratos - En el pasado, se ha adver tido a los padres de familia que coloquen la computadora de la fami-lia en un área abierta como la cocina o el cuarto de descanso familiar para que ellos puedan monitorear con facilidad toda actividad. En la actualidad, la mayor parte del contacto social, especialmente entre los jóvenes, es conducida casi exclusivamente a tra-vés de los teléfonos celulares y las tabletas. La tec-nología continua cambiando rápidamente. Todos debemos continuar nuestros esfuerzos de mantener-nos informados sobre las muchas nuevas aplicacio-nes para aparatos móviles que pueden ser usados por las personas jóvenes para comunicarse con otros, y que potencialmente pueden ser usados para manipu-lar o abusar a jóvenes. para una copia del articulo en Virtus “Mobile App Danger” (Peligro de las aplica-ciones móviles) por favor envíe un email a jvien-na@la-archdiocese.org.

YOUR PRO-LIFE MINUTE …

The pro-life message will not harm our children. What will harm them is the pro-abortion mentality, which will train them to

think that human life is a disposable item, and if un-challenged, could lead them to an abortion mill someday. Respect for all life must start with the young.

LIFE IS SACRED
