TAX-WISE YEAR END GIVING OPTIONS Gifts from an IRA - If you are 70 ½ or older, you can make a tax-free gift directly from your IRA account to the parish. This law allows you to transfer any amount up to $100,000 annually directly to a qualified charitable organization with-out paying income tax on the distribution. The transfer does not generate taxable income or a tax deduction, so you bene-fit even if you do not itemized your tax deductions. Your gift can satisfy all or part of your required minimum distri-bution. Gifts of Stock - Gifts of appreciated assets such as stock are an excellent way for you to make a charitable gift. Stocks may be transferred directly to the Archdiocese for the benefit of parish, school or favorite Catholic ministry. These gifts will not affect your cash flow, and they provide the following tax benefits: • A possible charitable deduction to help you save on taxes • Bypass of federal and state capital gains taxes • Avoidance of the tax on net investment income From a tax perspective, a gift of appreciated assets makes good sense. You can make the capital gains taxes optional, achieve significant tax savings and support our programs. Please contact Brooke Glazer at 213-637-7381 or [email protected]. Have you remembered your parish, school or ministry in your will or trust? Our legal title is The Roman Catholic Archbishop of Los Angeles, A Corporation Sole, for the Benefit of (parish, school, ministry). For more information, please call Kimberly Jetton at 213-637-7512.

Epiphany of the Lord

In our celebration of the Epiphany, two inter-woven themes are present in the readings today. God is beginning something new, and God gathers all of human-ity to participate. For Isaiah, God’s bright light, mani-fested in the people of Israel, attracts and summons peo-ple from many nations to Jerusalem. In the letter to the Ephesians, God’s grace makes the Gentiles co-heirs and co-partners in the gospel. Matthew tells the story of the fulfillment of God’s promises to Israel through the birth of Jesus, and simultaneously leading foreigners to share in these same promises. With the birth of Jesus, God chose a particular people, in a particular time and place, to enter most directly into the human story. Today’s read-ings teach that God did this in order to gather all people, all cultures, into unity with God. Like the magi, we are drawn into a journey toward God, becoming co-partners

FINDING GOD The splendid magi, all sparkle and dash and solemnity, march right up off the pages of Matthew’s Gospel and into our churches today. Matthew alone tells us this grand and seductive story so that we might see the light and know that the child these magi visited is the fulfillment of prophecy, the king of the world that stretches to the magi’s home coun-try and beyond, right down the ages to us. We too see and understand anew. Like the magi, our patron saints for this day, we see in the newborn child the king of the universe and light of the world. Like the magi, we find in ourselves a new faith and a new life. Like them, we return to our home by a new route. We are asked to come away from this festive season ourselves renewed and awake to the presence of God among us. We are asked to find God where God is to be found, to be attentive and surprised and ready to bow down in adora-tion and to offer our gifts.

Celebrating Our Past ~ Preparing Our Future

As of November 9, 2018, we now have $693,637.81 collected to date. Pledges continue to arrive daily. Total Pledged/Gifts received is $1,015,981.22.

JOURNEY OF TRANSFORMATION Tradition, poetry, and literature have long re-

flected upon the story of the magi. The journey of the magi indeed resonates with journeys in our own lives. The journey is a search for a “king,” for what or who is of primary importance in life. The seekers lose direction and encounter obstacles and dangers. Searching for a king, the magi first come upon a false king, Herod. The reappearance of the star shows them the true path and leads to the true king.

For Matthew, the journey culminates in the magi’s worship of Jesus. They discover a king not clothed in grandeur, but wrapped in humility and simplic-ity. They begin to re-imagine what true royal power really is. Transformed by the journey, they embrace the humble king, Jesus.

06 DE ENERO DE 2019 | LA EPIFINIA DEL SEÑOR

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION Monday of this week is Christmas Day in Russia and in much of the Orthodox world. This curious difference in schedule has a lot to do with how calendars have been developed and changed over the years. In the year 45 B.C. Julius Ceasar gave the empire his Julian Calendar, with the winter solstice on January 6. This put an end to a sys-tem in which officials called “pontiffs” were able to tweak the calendar by adding extra days in as needed. He invented two new months at that time, December and January; and in order to correct the mess the pontiffs had made, forced a year of 445 days on the empire in what he named “The Last Year of Confusion.” The new months varied in number of days according to a complex sched-ule, but the calendar was still off by nearly twelve min-utes a year, and lost a full day every 130 years. Pope Gregory XIII reformed the calendar in 1583, but not everyone appreciated his efforts. England held out for two hundred years. The year 1700 was a leap year in Eng-land, but not in France; they were eleven days apart! George Washington was really born on February 11; when the Gregorian calendar was finally adopted in the English colonies shortly before the Revolution, he had to move his birthday to February 22. Now the calendars are thirteen days apart, which accounts for Russia’s Julian calendar Christmas. And Caesar thought he had brought confusion to an end!

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Es tiempo de añadir los reyes magos al pesebre. En 1448 llegaron los pesebres italianos a las iglesias españolas, pero no fue hasta que el Rey Carlos III le regaló un pese-bre a su hijo en el siglo XVIII que el uso de pesebres se expandió en los hogares. Desde entonces, el uso de naci-mientos llega al continente americano en donde se con-vierte en la decoración principal para las fiestas navide-ñas. Así como en todo país latinoamericano el montaje del Belén es una tradición, lo es también en Venezuela. Con el pesebre venezolano llegan también aguinaldos, parran-das, Misas y patines. ¡Sí! ¡Patines! Desde la mitad del siglo pasado los venezolanos cele-bran la época navideña con “patinadas”. Estas “patinadas” normalmente se hacen por las mañanas y muchas calles están cerradas a los autos hasta las 8 a.m. para que niños y jóvenes puedan disfrutar de los patines, bicicletas y otros juguetes que les regala el niño Dios. Por eso, muchos ni-ños duermen con un “cordoncito” atado al dedo gordo de los pies, que cuelgan por la ventana para que los despier-ten los que pasan patinado.

INSIDERS AND OUTSIDERS An epiphany is a manifestation, a revelation of

what was hidden, and often a challenge to change. For Matthew’s community, the story of the magi challenged these new Christians, from both Jewish and Gentile ori-gin. The insiders, those rooted in the Jewish scriptures and traditions, might be uncomfortable with the magi, and with God working within Gentile culture to draw them toward God. The outsiders, the Gentiles, would re-joice that God calls them from within their own roots. But they knew that they too were called to their own journey of transformation.

Who are insiders and outsiders today? Some might see strangers as threats to accustomed ways of honoring and serving God. Others might believe that they themselves are too distant, concluding that they cannot be accepted in Christian community, and perhaps tune out God’s activity in their lives. Still others might think that belief in Christ serves as another dividing line between people, preventing them from seeing all persons as God’s children. The story of the Epiphany reminds us that clas-sifying insiders and outsiders is an illusion, a falsehood arising from a separation from God. When we are united with God, we can only see others as sisters and brothers.

When I was hungry and you fed me, thirsty and you gave me a drink; I was a stranger and you received me into your

homes, naked and you clothed me; I was sick and you took care of me, in prison and you visited me.

A Pro Life Rosary for the Unborn Every Tuesday at 6:30 pm inside church before mass

Many lives depend on us advocating for them! Attn: Spiritual Parents/Brothers & Sisters!!

Please continue to pray! The babies are counting on us! ~ Remember to pray daily for your spiritually adopted child and his/her parents. During your earthly life, this spiritually adopted child of yours is known only to God, but in the world to come, it is hoped that you will meet this child whose life was spared by your prayers and spend eternal happiness with him/her. Four Months: Well your little baby now weighs 6 ounces. They have fin-gernails, eyelashes, and their own unique fingerprints, which will remain unchanged until they die. Their taste buds are working and their sense of hearing is present at 14 weeks. There are no major bodily developments anymore. Your spiritually adopted baby is already well‐formed, internally and externally. All they need now is time to gain weight and grow strong.

¿SABÍA QUE? Cada semana, más de 50 niños son asesinados o resultan heridos cuando un conductor retrocede en su automóvil. En un número abrumador de esos casos, un padre de familia, pariente o amigo

cercano está detrás del volante. Es devastador pensar que una acción tan sencilla podría causar tanto daño a su hijo/a, pero sucede con demasiada frecuencia. Sea consciente de sus “puntos ciegos” cuando esté detrás del volante, esas áreas que se sabe que están ahí pero uno no puede ver claramente desde sus espejos retrovisores. Verifique lo que está sucediendo al-rededor de su vehículo antes de subirse al mismo. Asegúrese de saber dónde están sus hijos antes de encender su automóvil.

RELIGIOUS EDUCATION SAFEGUARD THE CHILDREN

DID YOU KNOW? Always keep your blind spots in mind Each week, more than 50 children are killed or injured when a driver backs up the car. In an

overwhelming number of those cases, a parent, relative, or close friend is behind the wheel. It’s devastating to think that a simple action could cause such harm to your child, but it hap-pens far too frequently. Be aware of your ‘blind spots’ when you’re behind the wheel — those areas you know are there, but can’t see clearly from your mirrors. Check out what’s happen-ing around your vehicle before you get in. Make sure you know where your children are before you start your car. For a copy of the complete VIRTUS® article, “A Preventable Accident,” visit http://www.la-archdiocese.org/org/protecting/Pages/VIRTUS-Current-Online-Articles.aspx.
