The Epiphany of the Lord January 4, 2014

~ REFLECTION ~

The Christmas season continues today with

our celebration of the

Epiphany. Matthew’s Gospel makes it clear that

even from the very beginning Jesus came to save

all people of the world. And so we have magi,

representing all the known world at the time,

making their way to Jesus’ humble birthplace.

Gathered as we are from many places, let us pray

in thanksgiving that God has seen fit to reach out

to all of us in love.

Some interesting details to ponder from our

readings today: Isaiah mentions only gold and

frankincense among the gifts that come from all

nations. It is Matthew who adds the gift of

myrrh—the symbol of the future passion and

death of the newborn Messiah. The magi must

consult the revelation of faith to find their way to

Bethlehem; their own means are not enough.

~ REFLEXION ~

El tiempo de Navidad continúa hoy con

nuestra celebración de la Epifanía. El Evangelio

de Mateo deja claro que aun desde los meros

comienzos Jesús vino a salvar a todos los

pueblos del mundo. Así tenemos a los magos,

que representan a todo el mundo conocido en ese

entonces, que hacen su travesía hasta el humilde

lugar del nacimiento de Jesús. Nosotros, que

estamos aquí reunidos aunque provenimos de

muchos lugares diferentes, demos gracias a Dios

que se ha dignado amarnos a todos. He aquí algunos detalles interesantes a

considerar en nuestras lecturas de hoy: Isaías

sólo menciona oro e incienso entre los presentes

que vinieron de todas las naciones. Es Mateo el

que añade la mirra, el símbolo de la pasión y la

muerte en el futuro del Mesías recién nacido. Los

magos deben consultar la revelación de la fe a fin

de encontrar el camino hacia Belén; sus propios

medios no son suficientes.

“They prostrated themselves and did him homage.

Then they opened their treasures

and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. ”

Matthew 2:11

CHURCH BATHROOM RENOVATION PROJECT

Our physical space here, at St. Brigid, is in need of either renovation or replacement. We have not

consistently addressed these issues in the past. Parish Life is important to each and every parishioner, visitor

and guest. We want our “church home” to be inviting, welcoming, comfortable and attractive. St. Brigid

Church is “ours”, it belongs to each of us, not just the clergy staff. We must take pride in ownership and

work together to be successful in the planning and execution of all projects. Please review the plans for the

bathroom renovation and prayerfully consider what YOU can contribute to the effort.

Tips for choosing safe toys for kids Millions of toys are out there, and hundreds of new ones hit the stores each year. Toys are supposed to be fun and are an important part of any child's development. But each year, scores of kids are treated in hospital emergency departments for toy-related injuries. Here are some general guidelines to keep in mind when toy-shopping: Toys made of fabric should be labeled as flame resistant or flame retardant. Stuffed toys should be washable. Painted toys should be covered with lead-free paint. Art materials should say nontoxic. Crayons and paints should say ASTM D-4236 on the package, which means that they've been evaluated by the American Society for Testing and Materials. For more information, please visit www.kidshealth.org.

Consejos para elegir juguetes seguros para los niños Existen millones de juguetes en nuestra sociedad y cientos de juguetes nuevos llegan a las tiendas cada año. Los juguetes son una parte importante del desarrollo de cualquier niño. Pero cada año, decenas de niños son tratados en las salas de emergencia de hospitales por lesiones relacionadas con juguetes. Aquí hay algunos ejemplos generales a tener en cuenta al comprar juguetes: Juguetes de tela deben ser etiquetados como resistentes al fuego. Los juguetes de peluche deben ser lavables. Juguetes que estén pintados deben de ser cubiertos con pintura sin plomo. Materiales de arte no deben ser tóxicos. Los paquetes de lápices de colores y pinturas deben de decir ASTM D-4236, lo que significa que han sido evaluados por la Sociedad Americana para Pruebas y Materiales.
