What do Catholics celebrate in January?
The month of January is dedicated to the Name of Jesus, which is celebrated on January 3. "In the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those that are in heaven, on earth and under the earth". Christ's name is chosen in heaven, and the Angel Gabriel announces it when he in-forms the Blessed Virgin of the incarnation: "Behold thou shalt conceive in thy womb and shalt bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name Jesus". It is a name that has marvelous implications, for it means "savior." The very name bespeaks the magnitude of His mission, His infinite love, a love that will cause Him to offer Himself up for us. Jesus is our all. In His name we may pray to the Father with assurance of being heard. In His name the Church administers all her sacraments. In His name she offers all her prayers and blesses homes, the fields, and the sick. In the name of Jesus she casts out evil spirits, and at the hour of our death bids us, "Go forth, Christian soul." She as-sures us that whoever shall call upon this name will be saved. When our soul has departed this life to seek its eternal home, the Church asks in the name of Jesus, "Eternal rest give unto him, O Lord." Let’s pray to the Name of Jesus for our community and families: Oh good Jesus, according to your great mercy, have mercy on us. O most merciful Jesus, by your Precious Blood which Thou will shed for sinners, we beseech Thee to wash away all our iniquities and to look graciously upon us, a poor and unworthy sinner, as we call upon Thy Holy Name. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen.
¿Qué celebran los Católicos en enero? El mes de enero está dedicado al Santo Nombre de Jesús, que se celebra el 3 de enero. "En el nombre de Jesús se doble toda rodilla de los que están en el cielo, en la tierra y debajo de la tierra". El nombre de Cristo es elegido en el cielo, y el ángel Gabriel lo anuncia cuando informa a la Santísima Virgen de la encarnación: "He aquí, concebirás en tu seno y darás a luz un hijo, y llamarás su nombre Je-sús". Es un nombre que tiene maravillosas implicaciones, pues significa "salvador". El mismo nombre revela la
magnitud de su misión, su amor infinito, un amor que hará que se ofrezca a sí mismo por noso-tros. El nombre de Jesús es el más dulce de todos los nombres, y el que lo lleva es el más digno de todo amor. El que llama a Jesús su amigo puede estar seguro de que este amigo es el más devoto y altruista de todos los amigos. Ella nos asegura que todo el que invoque este nombre será salvo. Cuan-do nuestra alma ha dejado esta vida para buscar su hogar eterno, la Iglesia pide en el nombre de Jesús: "Dale descanso eterno, oh Señor". Oremos al Nom-bre de Jesús por nuestra comunidad y familias: Oh buen Jesús, según tu gran misericordia, ten pie-dad de nosotros. Oh Jesús misericordioso, por tu Preciosa Sangre que derramarás por los pecadores, te suplicamos que laves todas nuestras iniquidades y que mires con misericordia a nosotros, pobres e indignos pecadores, mientras invocamos Tu Santo Nombre. Por Cristo, Nuestro Señor. Amén.

Father Carlos’s Reflection on theBicentenial Jubile Celebration: Two hundred years ago, on July 11, 1820, Pope Pius VII established the diocese of Richmond,
trusting Most Reverend Patrick Kelly to bestow gifts and graces to guide his heart as a Good Shepherd for the diocese. Our bicentennial jubi-le, which ends today, has included both accom-plishments and challenges with the pandemic and violence attack at the United States Capitol in Washington, DC. These issues and difficulties that we embrace in our lives and culture help us to understand the themes of the bicentennial jubi-lee: the communion and mission of the Church. Communion refers to the bonds that unite us to God and to one another; mission is our common endeavor to proclaim Christ’s death and resurrec-tion for the forgiveness of sin. Our Blessed Virgin Mary shines as the star of holiness and a model of discipleship for us. Mary embodies the Church on this journey to heaven because she cooperares generously with God in the work of salvation, which brought about new life for believers. May Our Blessed Virgin Mary inspires us to follow her example and obedience to love her Son, Jesus Christ and be partakers of his divinity and kindness among us. As we con-clude this bicentennial jubilee, let’s pray to our Blessed Virgin Mary to consecrate us to her Son, Jesus Christ. As we pray: O God, Father of mercies, whose Only Begotten Son, as he hung upon the Cross, chose the Blessed Virgin Mary, his Mother, to be our Mother also, grant, we pray, that with her loving help your Church may be more fruitful day by day and, exulting in the holiness of her children, may draw to her embra-ce all the families of the peoples. Through Christ, our Lord. Amen. Reflexión de Padre Carlos sobre la Celebra-
ción del Jubileo Bicentenario: Hace doscientos años, el 11 de julio de 1820, el Papa Pío VII esta-bleció la diócesis de Richmond, confiando en que el Reverendísimo Patrick Kelly otorgaría dones y gracias para guiar su corazón como Buen Pastor para la diócesis. Nuestro jubileo bicente-nario, que termina hoy, ha incluido tanto logros como desafíos con la pandemia y el ataque vio-lento en el Capitolio de los Estados Unidos en Washington, DC. Estos problemas y dificultades
que abrazamos en nuestra vida y cultura nos ayu-dan a comprender los temas del jubileo del bi-centenario: la comunión y la misión de la Iglesia. La comunión se refiere a los lazos que nos unen con Dios y entre nosotros; La misión es nuestro esfuerzo común por proclamar la muerte y resu-rrección de Cristo para el perdón de los pecados. Nuestra Santísima Virgen María brilla como la estrella de la santidad y un modelo de discipula-do para nosotros. María encarna a la Iglesia en este viaje al cielo porque coopera generosamente con Dios en la obra de salvación, que trajo nueva vida a los creyentes. Que nuestra Santísima Vir-gen María nos inspire a seguir su ejemplo y obe-diencia para amar a su Hijo Jesucristo y ser partí-cipes de su divinidad y bondad entre nosotros. Al concluir este jubileo del bicentenario, oremos a nuestra Santísima Virgen María para que nos consagre a su Hijo, Jesucristo. Mientras oramos: Oh Dios, Padre de misericordias, cuyo Hijo Uni-génito, colgado de la Cruz, eligió a la Santísima Virgen María, su Madre, para ser también nues-tra Madre, concédenos, oramos, que con su amo-rosa ayuda a tu Iglesia sea más fecunda día a día y, exultante de la santidad de sus hijos, atraiga a su abrazo a todas las familias de los pueblos. Por Cristo, nuestro Señor. Amén.
