PARISH SACRAMENTAL AND PRAYER
"For the reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, no human being must separate." (Matthew 19:5-6) We congratulate the couple who celebrated the Sacrament
of Marriage in our church last weekend.
Jesus Antonio Osorio and Jigia Aurora Velasquez December 26, 2015

JANUARY 3, 2016 THE EPIPHANY OF THE LORD
JUBILEE YEAR OF MERCY HAS BEGUN AT ST. VINCENT'S
Communal: Mercy Tree, adorned with purple lights since purple is the color for mercy, will stay lit for the year of mercy as a constant reminder for us to seek and share God's mercy in our daily lives in the places we live, travel and work. Whenever you pass the tree, remember the motto of the year: "Merciful like the Father." Formational: A Year of Mercy pamphlet will be available for each household to learn more and to use as a tool for
understanding our need for mercy and how we can show mercy to others. Practice: The corporal and spiritual works of mercy are a good place to begin. Maybe you might choose a spiritual and corporal work of mercy to focus on this year. Socially: Register your email with the parish (www.svmnj.org) so that you can receive a weekly Mercy Memo to
help you focus your time and your prayer on God’s Mercy. Download the 365 Days to Mercy app, free on iTunes and Google Play to accompany you on your spiritual journey during the Jubilee Year of Mercy.
The ultimate goal of the year of mercy is to help us change our hearts and our lives so we can become conduits of God’s mercy in everything we say and do. Pope Francis
More details about the Jubilee Year and the Corporal and Spiritual Works of mercy are on our website. http://svmnj.org/jubilee-year-of-mercy.
- Corporal Works of Mercy -
Feed the hungry. Give drink to the thirsty.
Clothe the naked. Shelter the homeless. Visit those in prison.
Comfort the sick. Bury the dead.
- Spiritual Works of Mercy -
Admonish sinners.
Instruct the uninformed. Counsel the doubtful.
Comfort the sorrowful. Be patient with those in error.
Forgive offenses. Pray for the living and the dead.
If you have ever done any renovations on your home, you can understand why we are REACHING OUT for further support. This additional opportunity to give towards our church renovation will help us meet the small shortfall from our original goal and also cover the overage from the original estimate. The total number needed is one half million dollars (an additional 10%) which we know you will make happen. To contribute or for more information, please pick up a brochure at the doors of the Church or in the Parish Office.
STEP INTO THE FUTURE OF SVMS
To date we have been blessed with $1,748,341.26 from 222 families plus the HSA. We thank you for bringing us closer to our goal of 2 million dollars! To make a gift please make checks payable to SVMS Addition.
PRAYER
ATTENTION: MEN OF THE PARISH This is the last announcement before our Retreat begins next Friday evening. There are still a few openings but we must know by early this week if you intend to join us. Of course, you can go at other times during the year but we find that going with men with whom you are, or may become familiar with, encourages a sense of spiritual fellowship that in itself is quite moving despite the silence. Before the business of the new year begins step back, put things in focus and get in touch with what is really important in our life. Our Parish Men’s Retreat is under the direction of the Jesuits at Loyola Jesuit Center in Morristown and begins with supper on Friday, January 8th and ends with lunch on Sunday, January 10th. You may call any of the men listed below if you would like more information or to make a reservation. You can also visit www.loyola.org. or call Jim Penders 973-377-8803, Mike Newman 973-822-2078, Steve Penders 973-443-0570, Jim Perrello 646-419-4463 or Bill Rojack 973-377-1962.

He describes how the wealth of nations will be brought to Jerusalem, and travelers will arrive bearing gifts and praising God. Second Reading: Ephesians 3:2-3a, 5-6 Paul explains to the Ephesians that the Gentiles are now co-heirs with the Jews. Through Jesus, they became members of the same body. Therefore, they would receive everything God had promised the Jewish converts if they followed Christ's teachings. Gospel: Matthew 2:1-12 Astrologers from the east came looking for the newborn king of the Jews, which greatly disturbed King Herod. Herod wanted to kill Jesus, and asked the astrologers to return and tell him where Jesus was.

A PILGRIMAGE TO THE HOLY LAND!
Led by Msgr. George F. Hundt and Jan Figenshu
It is with great joy that we announce this pilgrimage to the Holy Land. This pilgrimage will change you forever. The group will be limited in number which will enable us to experience the special places of the Gospels in a new and more intimate way. Ask any of our parishioners who have gone on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land and they will agree:: Travelling to the homeland of Jesus changes you forever. The benefits of making this trip are plentiful: experience a spiritual awakening, discover the land of the Bible, gain a deeper insight and understanding of Scripture, form community with your fellow parishioners as you experience this once in a lifetime event. Be transformed in ways you cannot even begin to imagine. For more information or a brochure, contact Jan Figenshu at [email protected] or ext 253. This trip is limited to SVM parishioners until Jan. 1, 2016. If not filled by then, we will open this up to other friends of the parish. Dates for the Pilgrimage: January 9 – 18, 2017. Do not be afraid! (Luke 1:30) Cost: $3500 per person approx.
A FAMILY PERSPECTIVE
After meeting Jesus, the Magi returned home by "another way." What in your family needs to be done "another way?" Do you need "another way to resolve differences, to communicate or show affection?" This is a new year, time to change what isn't working. Take a tip from some wise men, there's always "another way."
Being Single, Being Faithful (35+) Whether single by choice or by circumstance, we must live every "single" day to the fullest. We can find fulfillment in Christ and his Church by embracing the opportunities in the Church for spiritual growth, meaningful service and a sense of community. The group will meet on Saturday, January 9 from 10:00 - 12:00 Noon. Young Adult Mass (Ages 23 - 39) with Bishop Serratelli All young adults between the ages of 23 - 39 are invited to pray together at the annual diocesan-wide Young Adult Mass with Bishop Serratelli at 5:30 p.m. followed by a young adult social with drinks and light food until 8:30 p.m. hosted by the Diocese of Paterson Office of Evangelization with hospitality provided by the St. Paul Young Adults.

LA EPIFANÍA DEL SEÑOR Domingo Is 60:1-6; Eph 3:2-3a, 5-6; Mt 2:1-12 Lunes 1 Jn 3:22—4:6; Mt 4:12-17, 23-25 Martes 1 Jn 4:7-10; Mk 6:34-44 Miércoles 1 Jn 4:11-18; Mk 6:45-52 Jueves 1 Jn 4:19—5:4; Lk 4:14-22a Viernes 1 Jn 5:5-13; Lk 5:12-16 Sábado 1 Jn 5:14-21; Jn 3:22-30
LA EPIFANÍA DEL SEÑOR Primera Lectura: Isaías
60:1-6 Isaías se regocija por la luz y la gloria que brillarán sobre Jerusalén. Describe cómo la riqueza de las naciones será llevada a Jerusalén, y viajeros llegarán trayendo regalos y alabando a Dios. Segunda Lectura: Efesios 3:2-3a, 5-6 Pablo explica a los efesios que los gentiles son coherederos con los judíos. A través de Jesús se convirtieron miembros del mismo cuerpo. Por eso ellos recibirán todo lo que Dios ha prometido a los judíos que se han convertido y que han seguido las enseñanzas de Jesús. Evangelio: San Mateo 2:1-12 Astrólogos del este viajaron para buscar al recién nacido rey de los judíos. Esto preocupó mucho al Rey Herodes. Herodes quería matar a Jesús, y les pidió a los atrólogos regresar y decirle en dónde estaba Jesús. Los astrólogos encontraron a Jesús y le trajeron regalos, pero recibieron un mensaje en forma de un sueño, en donde se les indicaba no regresar a vera Herodes.

UNA FRESCA PERSPECTIVA DE LAS LECTURAS DOMINICALES
SU PALABRA HOY
por el Reverendo William J. Reillly
La Epifanía del Señor 3 de enero de 2016
“Que todos los reyes le rindan homenaje y lo sirvan todas las naciones. Porque él librará al pobre que suplica y al humilde que está desamparado. Tendrá compasión del débil y del pobre, salvará la vida de los indigentes.”
Estamos muy familiarizados con las personas de las escrituras hoy, el taimado rey, los peregrinos que observan el firmamento, un bebé y su madre. Conocemos los regalos, la estrella que guía, el sueño que informa. Proclamamos a Jesús como el salvador de la humanidad.
A medida que refleccionamos sobre las palabras del salmo descubrimos la misión de Cristo y escuchamos el eco de la misión del Papa Francisco. En sus enseñanzas en el Gozo del Evangelio y al proclamar este año el Jubileo de la Caridad, nos encontramos con una preocupación grande por aquellos en gran necesidad. Así como el Santo Padre y el salmista hablan de los pobres, nosotros no sólo consideramos a los que están económicamente devastados, sino a los pobres que carecen de esperanza y dirección, quienes no son capaces de encontrar un lugar para Cristo en sus vidas.
Así como los magos fueron a la búsqueda y descubrimiento de Aquel a quienes buscaban, que empecemos nosotros este Nuevo año preocupándonos por quienes tienen necesidad y que seamos una fuente de fortaleza y podamos apoyarlos.
