ST. JOSEPH’S CATHOLIC CHURCH

From the Pastor’s Laptop

Father Mark Wagner The joy of Christmas

and the jubilation of the Jubilee Year are already felt today in our Gospel s tory about the Visitation by Mary to h e r c o u s i n Elizabeth. The two pregnant women are filled with joy. Elizabeth is grateful that Merciful Mary has come to help her. Elizabeth “blesses” Mary for performing this work of mercy: “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy.” (Luke 1:42-44)

Pope Francis has two favorite words: “joy” and “mercy”. A few months ago, Pope Francis canonized the Franciscan Missionary, Saint Junipero Serra. About 30,000 people attended the Mass on the steps of the Basilica of the National Shrine of the I m m a c u l a t e C o n c e p t i o n i n Washington D.C. In his homily Pope Francis told us that we should first

experience God’s mercy, and then find joy in proclaiming it to others: “The source of our joy is an endless desire to show mercy, the fruit of our own experience of the power of the Father’s infinite mercy. Go out to all… a Christian finds joy in mission: Go out to people of every nation!” (Sept. 23, 2015)

When mercy himself was born it was in tiny Bethlehem, which was “too small” to be mentioned among the towns of Judah. God always chooses that which is small. He chose a humble maiden for his mother. He chose a tiny town which was known only as a place where bread could be obtained (Beth=house; Lehem=of bread). He became a tiny baby and took the form of bread in order to spread his joy to the whole world. Jesus himself is the “work of mercy” which gives food to the hungry and drink to the thirsty! God gave “wine to gladden their hearts… and b r e a d t o s t r e n g t h e n m a n ’ s heart.” (Psalm 104:15)

Respect Life

Every month during the Year of Mercy we are reflecting on Works of Mercy

Parish Works of Mercy for December: “Feed the

Hungry and Give Drink to the

Thirsty”

Parish Actions for this Week:

1. Many are thirsty for your merciful forgiveness. Forgive

someone today by giving them a “drink” of Christ’s love.

2. Steward our water resource wisely, by protecting our environment, so there is clean water for others to drink and use.

3. Pray for mercy so that you can help others without feeling compelled to judge them first

4. Support the work of our St. Vincent de Paul Ministry by providing food donations, asking others to help or calling to volunteer.

5. Support the work of our St. Joseph’s Bread Ministry by offering to help prepare, serve and deliver meals to the Salvation Army Homeless Shelter.

6. Read about Saints who were called to give their lives to help others in need: www.americancatholic.org

With Gratitude from your Respect Life and Catholic Legislative Ministries and the

signature petition efforts: 1,042 For the Parental Notification Initiative 653 For the Assisted Suicide Referendum

Parish Stewardship — a way of life

For more information about St. Joseph’s Knights of Columbus, please contact Grand Knight, Mike Glendon

at grandknight@kofc10644.com

Nickie is one of those people who is always serving and giving of themselves. Nickie is married to Mike Miranda and they have two sons. She is part of the leadership of the Militia Immaculata Family Village, has served hospitality countless times, and has been part of the Stewardship Committee.

Nickie has always helped with the decoration in the many events put by the Knights of Columbus. She has designed, planned and implemented the children’s track for our Annual Silent Marian MI Retreats, besides taking part in many other parish events.

Not only is Nickie a great steward, but she is also very talented; I often tease her saying she should have her own decorating show on TV! Everything that she touches, is embellished and turned into a beautiful work of art. However, one of the most impressive qualities that she has is her patience, love and dedication for children. She is one of the catechists in the CGS program (Catechesis of the Good Shepherd), where one can see her love for God’s children at work.

In addition to this, she heads the Parish School of Religion Beautification Project, being done by a generous group of people, adding exquisite Sacred Art to our hallways and classrooms for all to enjoy, while being catechized.

Thank you, Nickie for putting all your

talents at God’s disposal and being

His faithful steward!

Boletín Parroquial en Español! DEL LAPTOP DEL PÁRROCO, Padre Mark

Padre Mark Wagner

La alegría de la temporada de Navidad ya comenzó cuando la “Madre de la Misericordia” visitó a su prima, Isabel. Las dos mujeres embarazadas estaban llenas de alegría. Isabel está agradecida que la María Misericordiosa ha venida a ayudarle. María “bendice” a Isabel por hacer esta obra de misericordia: “¡Tú eres bendita entre todas las mujeres y bendito es el fruto de tu vientre! ¿Quién soy yo, para que la madre de mi Señor venga a visitarme? Apenas oí tu saludo, el niño saltó de alegría en mi seno.” (Lucas 1:42-44)

El Papa Francisco tiene dos palabras favoritas: “alegría” y “misericordia”. Hace unos meses, el Papa Francisco canonizó a l m is ionero franciscano, San Junípero Serra. Más o menos 30,000 personas asistieron la Misa en las escaleras a la Basílica del Santuario Nacional de la Inmaculada Concepción en Washington D.C. En su homilía, el Papa Francisco nos dijo que debemos de primero experimentar la misericordia de Dios, y luego encontrar la alegría en proclamársela a otros: “La fuente de nuestra alegría es el deseo inagotable

de brindar misericordia, fruto de haber experimentado la infinita misericordia del Padre. La alegría del evangelio se experimenta: ¡Vayan a las gentes de todas las naciones!” (el 23 de septiembre, 2015)

C u a n d o l a m i s m a misericordia nación en el pequeño pueblo de Belén, la cua l fue “demas iado pequeño” para ser nombrado entre los pueblos de Judá. Dios siempre escoge lo que es pequeño. Escogió a una muchacha humilde para su madre. Escogió un pueblo pequeño conocido como un lugar donde se podría obtener pan (en hebrero Be=casa; y Lehen=de pan). Se hizo un pequeño bebé y tomó la forma de pan para poder derramar su a l e g r í a a l m u n d o entero. ¡Jesús mismo es la “obra de misericordia” que da de comer al hambriento y de beber al sediento! Dios dio “el vino que alegra el corazón del hombre… y el pan que r e c o n f o r t a s u corazón.” (Salmos 104:15)

Nickie es una de esas personas que siempre están sirviendo y dando de si mismas. Ella está casada con Mike y tienen dos hijos. Nickie es parte del liderazgo de la Milicia de la Inmaculada en el grupo para las familias; ha servido en hospitalidad muchas veces y ha sido m i e m b r o d e l C o m i t é d e Corresponsabilidad.

Nickie siempre ha ayudado con la decoración en muchos de los eventos de los Caballeros de Colón. Ella ha diseñado, planeado e implementado el programa de niños durante el Retiro Mariano Anual de la MI, y también ha tomado parte en varios eventos de la parroquia.

¡Nickie tiene muchos talentos, siempre le he dicho que ella debería de comenzar su propio show de decoración en la TV! Todo lo que ella toca, lo embellece y transforma en una obra de arte. Sin embargo, una de sus mejores cualidades es su paciencia, amor y dedicación con los niños.

Ella es una de las catequistas en CGS, el programa de Catequesis del Buen pastor, donde se puede observar su amor por los niños de Dios.

Además de todo esto, ella dirige el Proyecto de Embellecimiento de la Escuela de Religión, como parte de un generoso grupo de personas, que han añadido exquisitas obras de Arte Sagrada a los pasillos y salones para que todos los disfruten mientras aprenden.

¡Gracias Nickie for

poner todos tus talentos a la

disposición del Señor y por ser su fiel

corresponsal!
