WORLD DAY OF MIGRANTS AND REFUGEES
January 18, 2015
The Church is called to be open and receptive towards newcomers who feel
strange in a new place. Many in need feel helpless and lonely. Christ expects his
Church to embrace them as he himself would. Pope Francis says: “The Church
opens her arms to welcome all people without distinction or limits… being witnesses
and proclaiming the Gospel of joy and mercy.” This is the nature of the Church. As
a mother she begets sons and daughters; she takes them in and embraces them with
her love and in her heart (Vatican II, Dogmatic Constitution on the Church)




What do pastors and parishioners need to do in other to be open and receptive
toward newcomers?
Are there any obstacles that would prevent them from being open?
How can the obstacles be overcome?
How other parishes deal with obstacles?
(Fr. Terrance Larkin)

Epifania del Signore: La seconda Domenica
dopo Natale fa da ponte tra la solennità del Natale e
l’Epifania. In questa domenica siamo invitati a prende
coscienza della gioia e della gratitudine che infonde
in noi la nascita di Gesù, il Verbo che si è fatto carne
nascendo della Vergine Maria. Possiamo farci questa
domanda: Si traduce la nostra fede in gioiosa
sicurezza, pur si c’è difficultà e prove serie nella vita?
Le Classi di Catechismo (PREP) riprenderanno
domani, Lunedí 5 gennaio, alle 6:30pm. Ricordiamo
ai genitori di portare i bambini a tempo.
Parrocchiani recentemente arrivati, vi chiediamo
di registrarvi, per favore. Troverete il foglio alla
entrata della Chiesa: consegnatelo in canonica o nel
cestino della colletta durante la Messa. Benvenuti!
Buste per l’offerta domenicale. Se non hai ancora
ritirato il tuo pacchetto per favore ritiralo oggi stesso.
Per favore usate soltanto le buste 2015.
Ringraziamo di cuore i parrocchiani che continuano
ad amare la Chiesa di OLOS con la propria
generosità.
In preparazione alla Giornata Mondiale del
Migrante e Regufiato, la Liturgia dominicale
sottolinea la realtà della mobilità umana. In vista
della preparazione di questa giornata avremo una
reflessione sul tema il Giovedì 15 gennaio alle 7:00
pm.
Messa nella Giornata Mondiale
per i Migranti e Refugiati: sarà
domenica 18 gennaio in questa
Parrocchia
alle
3:00
pm.
L’arcivescovo sarà il celebrante
principale. È una vera opportunità
di preghiera e ringraziamento per il
dono della diversità culturale e
dell’altro che è un dono di Dio…
Giornata Scalabriniana: Chiediamo a tutti voi di
pregare per i Missionari Scalabriniani che svolgono il
loro apostolato tra i migranti e rifugiati. Che la
Congregazione Scalabriniana continui a servire la
Chiesa e il mondo; che trove nel crocifisso la forza
per seguire nella sequela del Cristo.
 Emigrano i semi sulle ali dei venti… emigra l’uomo
verso la meta ultima, che è il perfezionamiento
dell’uomo sulla terra e la gloria di Dio nei cieli
 Migration is a source of wellness for both he who
goes away and those who remain… it is a safety
valve that stablishes equilibrium between wealth
and productive power

La fiesta de la Epifanía quiere decir “El Señor se ha
manifestado”. Los Reyes Magos hallaron al Niño, con
María y, arrodillándose, lo adoraron. Lo adoran, pues lo
reconocen como Dios. Le ofrecieron oro, incienso y mirra.
La Iglesia ve en esos tres regalos, los obsequios que
debemos ofrecer siempre a Jesucristo: Oro: nuestra
ayuda a los pobres y a la Iglesia. Incienso: nuestra
oración. Mirra (amarga) nuestros sacrificios.
Niño Dios, acepta mis humildes ofrendas y enséñame
a amar incondicionalmente y a trabajar por el bien común.
Clases de Catecismo para niños y padres de familia
