The Baptism of the Lord January 12, 2020

A voice came from the heavens, saying,

“This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

— Matthew 3:17

Saint Charles Parish San Diego / Imperial Beach Page Two

Daily Prayer For Priests O Jesus, I pray for your faithful and fervent priests; For your unfaithful and tepid priests; For your priests laboring at home or abroad in distant mission fields. For your tempted priests; For your lonely and desolate priests; For your young priests; For your dying priests; For the souls of your priests in Purgatory. But above all, I recommend to you the priests dearest to me: The priest who baptized me; The priests who absolved me from my sins; The priests at whose Masses I assisted and who gave me Your Body and Blood in Holy Communion; The priests who taught and instructed me; All the priests to whom I am indebted in any other way (especially_________). O Jesus, keep them all close to your heart, And bless them abundantly in time and in Eternity. Amen By St. Therese of Lisieux

Our Mission St. Charles is a Christ focused, diverse, family centered, Catholic community serving Imperial Beach and the South Bay. We believe in the real presence of Jesus Christ in the Eucharist and His saving grace received through the Sacraments. We believe in the Holy Catholic Church instituted by Jesus, the sanctity of life, the value of family, and lifelong Catholic education for all ages. We live to deepen our love of God, spread His Gospel and bring others to Christ. We are committed to a life of prayer, sacrifice, and service to those in need. With love, humility, and joyful obedience, we strive to be transformed and guided by the Holy Spirit until we are transformed in the eternal life of Heaven.

SAINT HILARY (c. 315-367) January 13 Born in Poitiers, France, whose populace would later elect him bishop, Hilary, married and a father, was con-verted from paganism to Christianity through his reading of scripture. The focus of his prayerful study was the Pro-logue to the Gospel according to John, which portrays Jesus as the divine Logos, eternally begotten of the Fa-ther. As a result, Hilary became in the words of the bibli-cal scholar Jerome, “the Latin Trumpet against the Arians,” heretics who believed Jesus to be merely human, not divine. In defense of Christ’s divinity, Hilary was not only eloquent in debate but utterly fearless in the face of relentless persecution and even exile. Thus by the witness of his own discipleship, Hilary taught that faith in Jesus as the divine Son of God has consequences. Reflecting on Jesus’ challenge to his disciples, “You are the salt of the earth” (Matthew 5:13), Hilary notes that, as salt both pre-serves from corruption and adds savor to food, so must the faithful disciple bear a witness that, by word and ex-ample, leads others to immortality and virtuous living. —Peter Scagnelli, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

SAINTS AND SPECIAL OBSERVANCES Sunday: The Baptism of the Lord Monday: First Week in Ordinary Time; St. Hilary Friday: St. Anthony Saturday: Blessed Virgin Mary; Week of Prayer for Christian Unity begins

THIS IS MY BELOVED SON This Sunday’s celebration of the Baptism of the Lord closes the Christmas season. In the scriptures we see one more epiphany, or manifestation, of the Spirit of God in Jesus—but this time it is as an adult, rather than as a child. Jesus’ baptism also serves as the inauguration of his prophetic mission and the messianic age. Today’s reading from Isaiah describes God’s chosen Messiah, upon whom God’s spirit rests. In the Acts of the Apostles Peter says that “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and power” (Acts 10:38). Finally, in the proclamation from Matthew’s Gospel Jesus’ baptism in water goes almost unnoticed. The crucial moment comes when the Spirit of God comes upon Jesus and a voice from heaven echoes the words of Isaiah: “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased” (Matthew 3:17).

Page Five El Bautismo del Señor 12 de Enero de 2020

Oración Diaria por los Sacerdotes O Jesús, Te ruego por tus fieles sacerdotes. Por tus ti-bios e infieles sacerdotes; Por tus sacerdotes que están con nosotros o en tierra de misiones. Por los sacerdotes que son tentados; Por los sacerdotes abandonados y en soledad; Por tus sacerdotes jóvenes; Por tus sacerdotes moribundos; Y por quienes sufren en el Purgatorio. Ante todo, pongo en tus manos a los sacerdotes que más quiero: El sacerdote que me bautizó; El sacerdote que me absuelve de mis pecados; Los sacerdotes que celebran la Misa a que asisto y me da en Comunión tu Cuerpo y Sangre; Los sacerdotes que me instruyen; Por quienes estoy en deuda, en espe-cial (por el Padre______). O Jesús, consérvalos siempre junto a tu corazón y bendícelos siempre hasta la eternidad. Amén. Sta. Therese de Lisieux

Con amor, humildad, y alegre obedien-cia, nos esforzamos para ser transformados y para ser guiados por el Espíritu Santo hasta que seamos transfor-mados en la vida eterna en el Cielo.

LECTURAS DE LA SEMANA Lunes: 1 Sm 1:1-8; Sal 116 (115):12-19; Mc 1:14‑20 Martes: 1 Sm 1:9-20; 1 Sm 2:1, 4-8abcd; Mc 1:21‑28 Miércoles: 1 Sm 3:1-10, 19-20; Sal 40 (39):2, 5, 7-10; Mc 1:29‑39 Jueves: 1 Sm 4:1-11; Sal 44 (43):10-11, 14-15, 24-25; Mc 1:40‑45 Viernes: 1 Sm 8:4-7, 10-22a; Sal 89 (88):16-19; Mc 2:1‑12 Sábado: 1 Sm 9:1-4, 17-19; 10:1a; Sal 21 (20):2-7; Mc 2:13‑17 Domingo: Is 49:3, 5-6; Sal 40 (39):2, 4, 7-10; 1 Cor 1:1-3; Jn 1:29-34

ESTE ES MI HIJO MUY AMADO Con la celebración del Bautismo del Señor este domin-go concluye el tiempo de Navidad. En las lecturas vemos más de una epifanía o manifestación del Espíritu de Dios en Jesús, sólo que esta vez ya no como niño, sino como adulto. El Bautis-mo de Jesús es también la inauguración de su misión profética y de la era mesiánica. En la lectura de hoy Isaías describe al Mesías elegido por Dios sobre el cual ha puesto su Espíritu. En los Hechos de los Apóstoles Pedro dice que “Dios ungió con el poder del Espí-ritu Santo a Jesús de Nazaret” (Hechos 10:38). Finalmente, en las proclamación del Evangelio de Mateo el Bautismo de Jesús en el agua casi pasa desapercibido. El momento crucial ocurre cuando el Espíritu de Dios desciende sobre Jesús y una voz del cielo viene como un eco de las palabras de Isaías: “Éste es mi Hijo muy amado, en quien tengo mis complacencias” (Mateo 3:17).

LOS SANTOS Y OTRAS CELEBRACIONES Domingo: El Bautismo del Señor Lunes: Primer Semana del Tiempo Ordinario; San Hilario Viernes: San Antonio Sábado: Bienaventurada María Virgen Semana de Oración por la Unidad Cristiana SAN HILARIO DE POITIERS (c. 315-367) 13 de enero Nació en Poitiers (Francia) y durante su juventud abrazó el cristianismo junto con toda su familia. Gracias a su ejemplo cristiano, su misma gente lo eligió como obispo en el año 353. Como obispo destacó por su formación intelectual y su firmeza en la defensa de la fe, especialmente contra los arrianos, un grupo de cristianos que negaban la divinidad de Cristo. Fue desterrado a Frigia (Asia) en el año 356, pero esto no le impidió defender a la Iglesia de los ataques, debatiendo incluso, a los obispos arrianos. Debido a la firmeza y conocimiento de causa con que combatía a sus interlocutores, los mismos arrianos pi-dieron al Emperador que lo regresara a casa, a su Iglesia, donde se habían mantenido fieles a sus enseñanzas. Con los obispos que habían cedido a los arrianos fue firme para hacerles ver sus errores, pero compasivo en su trato con ellos. Su celo por la fe, así como sus escritos le valieron el título de “maestro de las Iglesias”. En 1851 el Papa Pío IX lo declaró Doctor de la Igle-sia. —Miguel Arias, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
