Epiphany of the Lord January 8, 2017

8 de Enero, 2017 La Epifanía del Señor

Fr. Joe’s Journal El Diario del Padre Joe Happy feast of the Epiphany! This weekend we celebrate the feast of the Epiphany. This feast marks the introduction of the wider world to Jesus. The good news of Jesus Christ has spread to many nations. We at this parish witness the reality of the spread of the message of Jesus. Our diversity is both a gift and a challenge. We reflect the universality of the Church here at St. Ignatius. The challenge comes from the reality that there is more than one group in our parish. We can sometimes be unaware of all that our parish does. We need to recognize that while we are diverse all nations are united in Christ. We need to recognize that we need to work together and the needs of the parish. I add a year this Sunday. The late great Irv Kupcinet famed Chicago personality, used to wish people a happy birthday in his column by saying they added a year. I will celebrate my 69th birthday this year. Where did the time go. Our long time friend, Fr. Carcar, will celebrate his birthday on the same day. We wish him a very happy birthday. I ask for your prayers as I continue to have the privilege of being your pastor. This is a very challenging time to be a pastor in the Archdiocese. I promise to continue to pray for all of you and all those who you love. Thank you for your generosity. I thank those who generously supported our Christmas collection. Remember you can still give to this collection. We welcomed Bishop Manz for the Virgin de la Nube Celebration. We welcomed our Ec-uadorian brothers and sisters for this feast. I thank those who helped make it a beautiful celebration. We conclude our celebration of the Christ-mas season when we celebrate the feast of the Baptism of our Lord on Monday. The season ends earlier than normal on January 9th. Fr. Carcar back for a stay. I thank him for all his help and the wonderful spirit he brings to his ministry. We wish him well as he continues as he continues to lead the Nazareth school in Cordoba. Fr. Sima returns to celebrate mass next Sunday at Noon. We thank him for his help. To Teach Who Christ is continues. We have reached 70% of goal, more than $230,000. the bad weather in December did slow down our campaign but you can still make a pledge. I thank those who have already made a pledge. This campaign will help the parish and the archdiocese. See this bulletin for other key articles and event announcements.

God bless you, your pastor, Fr. Joe

¡Feliz Fiesta de la Epifanía! Este fin de semana celebramos la fiesta de la Epifanía. Esta fiesta marca la introducción de Jesús a todo el mundo. La buena noti-cia de Jesucristo ha sido anunciada a todas las nacio-nes. En esta parroquia somos testigos de la realidad de la universalidad del mensaje de Jesús. Nuestra diversi-dad es a la vez un desafío y un don. Reflejamos la uni-versalidad de la Iglesia aquí en San Ignacio. Los desa-fíos viene de la realidad que tenemos más de un grupo en nuestra parroquia. A veces podemos no estar con-sientes de todo lo que nuestra parroquia hace. Necesita-mos reconocer que aunque somos una comunidad di-versa de todas las naciones estamos unidos en Cristo. Debemos reconocer que tenemos que trabajar juntos y las necesidades de la parroquia. Sumo un año este domingo. El fallecido famo-sos en Chicago Irv Kupccinet, solía desear feliz cum-pleaños en su columna diciendo que sumaban un año. Celebrare mi cumpleaños 69 este año. Doce se ha ido el tiempo. Nuestro amigo de muchos años, el Padre Carcar, celebrará su cumpleaños el mismo día. Les pi-do por sus oraciones mientras continuo tener el privile-gio de ser su párroco. Es un momento difícil para ser párroco en la Arquidiócesis. Les prometo seguir rezan-do por ustedes y sus seres queridos. Gracias por su generosidad. Agradezco a quie-nes apoyaron generosamente nuestra colecta de Navi-dad. Recuerde que todavía puede hacer su donación. Dimos la bienvenida al Obispo Manz para la celebración de la Virgen de la Nube. Di-mos la bienvenida a todos nuestros hermanas y herma-nos ecuatorianos por esta gran fiesta. Agradezco a quienes ayudaron en esta una hermosa celebración. Terminamos nuestra celebración de la Na-vidad cuando celebramos la fiesta del Bau-tismo de Nuestro Señor el lunes. La tempora-da termina antes de los normal el lunes 9 de enero. El Padre Carcar que esta acá por un tiem-po. Le agradezco por toda su ayuda y el espíritu mara-villoso que trae a sus ministerio. Le deseamos lo mejor mientras continua el liderazgo de la escuela Nazaret en Córdoba. El Padre Sima vuelve a celebrar misa el domingo al mediodía. Agradezco su ayuda. Enseñar Quien es Cristo continua. Hemos alcanzado el %70 de nuestro objetivo, más de $230,000, el mal clima en diciembre nos desacelero la campaña pero usted todavía puede hacer su donación. Esta campaña ayudará a la parroquia y la arquidiócesis. Lea el boletín para otros artículos claves y anuncios de eventos.

Dios los bendiga, su párroco Padre Joe

The pantry ended 2016 quietly on Friday, De-cember 30th. It was a very busy month with over 220 families visiting the pantry. We are compiling our year end results and will have them in next week’s bulletin.

Another New Year Resolution? This year Ignatian Services would like to get enough walkers for the Annual Hunger Walk to need a bus! That would be 35 walkers. Last year we had 21 walkers that raised the issue of hunger in our community along with funds to be spent at the Great-er Chicago Food Depository. Having a bus will al-low us to enjoy a more team spirit feeling. Parking at the Hunger Walk is always a challenge for individual drivers while buses are given a preference. The date for the event has not been announced yet but is usu-ally the 2nd or 3rd Saturday in June. If you would like to know more about this event, please contact Kathy Morris at is@stignatiuschurch.org

Remember we are all Ignatian Services.

La despensa terminó tranquila el 2016 el vier-nes 30 de diciembre. Fue un mes con mucha activi-dad con más de 220 familias acudiendo a la despen-sa. Estamos recolectando el análisis del año y tendre-mos un informe en el próximo boletín.

¿Otro Propósito de Año Nuevo?

¡Este año Servicios Ignacianos quisiera tener suficientes participantes en la Caminata Contra el Hambre para necesitar un autobús! Serian 35 cami-nantes. El año pasado tuvimos 21 participantes que trajeron la atención al tema del hambre en nuestra comunidad a la vez que recaudaron fondos para ser usados en el Greater Chicago Food Depository. Te-ner un autobús nos permitirá disfrutar de un espíritu de equipo. Estacionamiento en la Caminata contra el Hambre es siempre difícil para individuos pero los autobuses tienen espacio reservado. La fecha de este evento no ha sido aun anunciada pero normalmente es el 2 o 3 Sábado en junio. Si quiere tener más in-formación sobre este evento, contacte Kathy Morris a is@stignatiuschurch.org

LA ESTRELLA DE BELÉN El desarrollo del relato de la Encarnación conti-núa hoy cuando la Iglesia celebra la Epifanía. La his-toria de los Magos de oriente es uno de los relatos más fascinantes de las Escrituras. Nos enseña mucho sobre qué podemos esperar, incluso en circunstancias y lugares que pueden parecer insignificantes. Belén era un pueblo diminuto, lo que hoy diríamos un pue-blo sin siquiera un semáforo. Sin embargo, es sobre este lugar aparentemente insignificante que la estre-lla guía se detuvo en su búsqueda del lugar en donde el Salvador nacería. Muchas veces no comprendemos que la estrella de Belén se posa en nuestra vida dia-ria, donde podemos sentir la presencia de Dios, ma-nifestada de maneras diversas y nuevas. La Epifanía nos llama a salir de nuestro estupor y a reconocer a Aquél que viene a salvarnos. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM The unfolding of the story of the Incarnation con-tinues today as the Church celebrates the Epiphany. The tale of the magi from the East is one of the most fascinating in all of scripture. It has much to teach us about what we can come to expect, even in circum-stances and places that may seem insignificant or small. Bethlehem was a tiny town, what we might re-fer to today as a town without even one stop light. Yet it is over this seemingly insignificant place that the guiding star stops in its own search for the place where the Savior would be born. Too often we fail to recognize the fact that the star of Bethlehem comes to rest in our everyday lives, where we can experience God’s presence, manifested in ever new ways. Epiph-any calls us to shake off our stupor and recognize the One who comes to save us. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

Feast of the Epiphany This Feast Day has received different names: Epiphany: from the Greek( Ἐπιφάνεια, Epiphaneia, "Manifestation") and means “to reveal”. Theophany, meaning "Vision or Revelation of God” Three Kings' Day. We celebrate that Christ manifests him-self to the wider world. After meditating in Christmas that God came to us as a little baby, now this truth is made known to people from other countries, represent-ed by the Wise Men or Magi.

Fiesta de Epifanía Esta fiesta ha recibido diferentes nombres: Epifanía: del Gr iego( Ἐπιφάνεια, Epiphaneia, "Manifestacion") y significa “revelar”. Teofanía, significando "Visión o Revelación de Dios” Día de los Reyes Magos.

Celebramos que Cristo se manifiesta al mun-do. Luego de haber meditado en Navidad que Dios se ha hecho hombre en este bebe, ahora esta verdad es revelada a personas de otros países, representados en los tres Reyes Ma-gos.

God love us with tender love. That is all that Jesus came to teach us, the tender love of God. “I have called you by name, you are Mine.”

St. Teresa of Calcutta

Dios nos ama con ternura. Eso es todo lo que Jesús nos vino a enseñar, el tierno amor de Dios. “Te he llamado por tu nombre, eres Mío.”

Prayer Before Study

Creator of all things, true source of light and wis-dom, origin of all being, graciously let a ray of your light penetrate the darkness of my understanding.

Take from me the double darkness in which I have been born, an obscurity of sin and ignorance.

Give me a keen understanding, a retentive memory, and the ability to grasp things correctly

and fundamentally.

Grant me the talent of being exact in my explana-tions and the ability to express myself with thor-

oughness and charm.

Point out the beginning, direct the progress, and help in the completion. I ask this through Jesus

Christ our Lord. Amen.

Saint Thomas Aquinas, OP

Oración para Antes del Estudio

Creador de todas las cosas, fuente verdadera de luz y sabiduría, origen de todo ser, derrama en las ti-nieblas de mi entendimiento un rayo de tu luz.

Aleja de mi la doble oscuridad en que naci, la obs-curidad del pecado y de la ignorancia.

Dame un profundo entendimiento, la capacidad de recordad, y la habilidad de entender las cosas co-rrectamente y en profundidad.

Dame el talento de ser exacto en mis explicaciones y la habilidad de expresarme con detalle y gracia.

Fortalece el comienzo , dirige el progreso, y ayuda a la finalización. Te lo pido por Jesucristo Nuestro Señor. Amen.

Santo Tomas de Aquino, OP

For all the students going back to school, a prayer to take along...

Para todos los estudiantes que regresan a la escuela, una oración para que los acompañe.

Catholic High Schools are having their entrance ex-am next Sunday, January 14. Let keep the 8th grade students in our prayers.
