RESUME FEBRUARY 7TH.
They made their way through the streets and alleyways as the bright light in the sky was
ready to descend where the faithful gathered to usher in another year. Their expectations were that
this year would be much better than the last, where peace and joy would take the place of war and
hurt. As they hurried to view this majestic event, their anticipation was beyond all imagination.
Approximately two thousand years ago, three wise men descended upon a little town in Bethlehem, guided by a lone
bright star on a cold, dark desert night. These were learned philosophers and astrologers who traveled from the far ends of
the earth. They brought with them gold, frankincense, and myrrh. These gifts were the best commodities that their lands had
to offer. Gold was fit for a king, frankincense for a priest, and myrrh to anoint the body of a man.
These wise men all traveled from afar following the bright light of a star. They made their way across dangerous
lands filled with bandits and smugglers. They traveled through bustling city streets and filthy alleyways with just the sandals
on their feet and cloaks draped around their backs. Their brief encounter with that sly fox, Herod, was a stark reminder of
why their mission was so important. These wise men, otherwise known as the magi, would not be deterred from fulfilling
their mission, which was to behold the Prince of Peace.
They set out “….And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over
the place where the child was…” (Mt. 2-12) Upon entering the house they prostrated themselves before the child Jesus.
Although they opened their gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh, the real gift is what they received that night - Jesus.
Through a dream, they were warned not to return to Herod. The magi made their way back to their countries along other
routes. Their lives would be changed forever.
As we begin yet another new year, our lives are changed forever, simply because we have beheld the child Jesus
here at this altar in the holy Mass. All God asks of us is to come before Him and prostrate ourselves before the Holy
Eucharist. This means that we are to humble ourselves in the depths of our hearts. To come before God with a complete
submission of our wills, by emptying our souls of any darkness and allowing the light of God’s love to penetrate our
innermost recesses, is essential for our growth in the spiritual life. To leave our beautiful Church and proceed along different
paths means to leave our old personas behind and bring Christ into our homes.
Those travelers that I mentioned at the beginning of this story, were the many revelers who gathered in Times
Square just a few nights ago. They followed the bright glow in the sky that emanated from the crystal ball that descended
upon Times Square. They came in the darkness of night to bring in the light of another new year. Our hope is that we, like
the magi, will find the light of Christ and bring that peace and joy into a world that is not much different than two thousand
years ago. Happy New Year…Fr. Pat

These resources present a practical and effective program to help Catholics know their faith and can deepen
our understanding and love for the Catholic faith. They feature some of the most inspiring Catholic
speakers -- bishops, priests, deacons and eminent Catholic lay men and women. When these resources are gone --
they're gone and a new set, with different titles and speakers, will be ordered. We encourage you to take
advantage of this wonderful opportunity… for yourselves and to share with others.
We ask for a donation of $3.00 per CD…….$.50 per brochure……$5.00 per book
Checks can be made payable to St. Christopher’s. Donations will be used towards the purchase of additional
materials.

My Dear Parishioners,
I don’t know where to begin and how to
thank you enough for your overwhelming support that
I have received at this difficult time over the loss of
my brother-in-law. Everyone of you has helped me so
much, either by praying or donating to my sister’s
family. I thank you for your sympathy cards, Mass
cards, prayer enrollment cards, and condolences. I
sincerely believe that God has brought me to this
wonderful parish in Red Hook to live with wonderful
and generous people.
First of all, I thank Fr. Pat for his moral
support and encouraging me to go home at this crucial
time. He has been very good to me during this time of
loss and for that I will be ever grateful. I thank every
one of you for what you have been to me and for your
generosity. I will never, ever forget your moral
support, prayers, and your financial help to my sister’s
family and to me, as well. I promise you, that I will
always be grateful to you for what you have been to
me for the last 14 years.
May God bless you and keep us all in His
loving care and protection. May our Blessed Mother
lead and guide us to her loving son, Jesus.
I wish you all a Happy, Healthy, and Blessed 2016
New Year.
Thank you.
God Bless, Fr. Xavier Santiago
