Pastor’s Letter
January 2/3, 2016
God’s Mercy to the Ends of
the Earth
Epiphany, the name of today’s feast, is a Greek word which literally means ‘to present’ or ‘to reveal
what is hidden.’ Spiritually, the moment in which the life of God within us comes to our
consciousness can be called an epiphany. It is an epiphany to understand for the first time that we are
loved by God or that our sins are forgiven. The gospels present the birth of Jesus as a kind of secret. It
is revealed only to the shepherds who themselves were among the least significant of all people. Now,
with the visit of the Magi, the presence of Jesus becomes public, made known to all the nations of the
earth. It is time to bring the birth of Jesus out of secrecy and into the light of day. The Magi, and soon
Jesus’ own followers, will begin to spread the word of his presence.
Another way to think about the Epiphany is that, while we believe the presence of Christ is in the
humanity of every person, in many of us it is a kind of secret. It is not something we think about or
live out of every day. In Christian living, the task for believers is to make the life of Christ in us not a
secret but public knowledge. Christ is in every person. In some he is hidden; in others he is made
manifest.
This year in our church, our main door is open as a symbol of God’s mercy. All are welcome to walk
through it and receive the loving kindness of God. Our Greek Orthodox brothers and sisters have a
very beautiful tradition on the feast of the Epiphany to remind themselves of the call to make Christ
manifest. Over the main door of their home they draw the following symbols.
20 + C + M + B + 16
No, this is not a strange mathematical equation, like a spiritual E=mc2. It is a spiritual reminder. The
four crosses symbolize the four compass points and the three letters remind us of the traditional names
of the Magi: Caspar, Melchior, and Balthasar. The year encompassing all reminds us of God in the
present moment. So the symbol means this: Like the three kings, I shall go out from my home in this
present moment, to spread the good news of Christ in every direction and place I go.
In this Year of Mercy, we Catholics might think of every day as an opportunity to spread a bit of
mercy. If we do this out of faith, the hidden mystery of Christ in us will be made manifest. Is it not
true that our world would much benefit from seeing Christ in every one?
Happy Epiphany,
Rev. Michael A. Vetrano

Get ready to discover the "hidden" truths of Confession — truths that have always been embraced by theologians, saints, and mystics — now finally made understandable to all. Based on
his best-selling book, this inspiring presentation by Vinny Flynn will forever change your view

In 1946, Jackie Robinson is a Negro League baseball player who never takes racism lying
down. Branch Rickey is a Major League team executive with a bold idea. Rickey recruits
Robinson for the Brooklyn Dodgers to break the unspoken color line as the first modern
African American Major League player. As both anticipate, this proves a major challenge for
Robinson and his family as they endure unrelenting racist hostility on and off the field, from
player and fan alike. As Jackie struggles against his nature to endure such abuse without
complaint, he finds allies and hope where he least expects it. And lets his bat, base-stealing and
love of the game do his talking. Winner of the Heartland Truly Moving Picture Award. A
strong cast with Chadwick Boseman, Harrison Ford, Lucas Black and Nicole Beharie.

He was a just man, appointed by God to be the husband of Mary and the chosen father of Jesus.
But there is more to St. Joseph than his familiar role at the center of the salvation message. He
was a prayerful man, an exemplary worker and a true model of authentic manhood. This
powerful film explores all aspects of St. Joseph and the many ways he reflects the nature of
God, combining stunning artwork and interviews with Catholic leaders.
SATURDAY AT THE MOVIES
This is the blockbuster portrayal of unsung real-life hero William Wilberforce shown in theaters
worldwide in early 2007. Elected to Parliament at the young age of 21, Wilberforce, a devout
Christian, worked tirelessly and courageously for many decades to abolish slavery in the British
Empire, often against overwhelming opposition, and even when threatened with serious health
problems. Finally, his efforts paid off and the Emancipation Bill was passed in 1833, one month
after he died. An outstanding cast starring Ioan Gruffudd, Romola Garai, Michael Gambon, and
Albert Finney.

Become an Anchor of Mercy
During this Holy Year of Mercy we will be offering Eucharistic
Adoration on Thursday from the conclusion of the noon mass
until Benediction at 4:00 PM. We will also have confessions
during this time and our Spanish community will pray the
Chaplet of Divine Mercy from 3:00 PM to 4:00 PM. We are
very much in need of parishioners to be in church all during
that afternoon time to ensure that someone is always praying
before the Blessed Sacrament and to welcome others to prayer.
I am calling these parishioners Anchors of Mercy and I am
inviting you to become one of them. To do so you will agree to
be in church on those Thursdays for at least 1/2 hour and at
least one Thursday a month. You can of course agree to be
present for longer if you wish. But we need to be sure that our
church is never empty on these Thursday afternoons. You can use this page to sign up or send an
email to [email protected]

APOSTOLADO HISPANO
El Papa Francisco nos Habla sobre la Misericordia De otra parábola, además, podemos extraer una
enseñanza para nuestro estilo de vida cristiano.
Provocado por la pregunta de Pedro acerca de cuántas
veces fuese necesario perdonar, Jesús responde: «No te
digo hasta siete, sino hasta setenta veces siete» (Mt
18,22) y pronunció la parábola del “siervo
despiadado”. Este, llamado por el patrón a restituir una
grande suma, le suplica de rodillas y el patrón le
condona la deuda. Pero inmediatamente encuentra otro
siervo como él que le debía unos pocos centésimos, el
cual le suplica de rodillas que tenga piedad, pero él se
niega y lo hace encarcelar. Entonces el patrón,
advertido del hecho, se irrita mucho y volviendo a
llamar aquel siervo le dice: «¿No debías también tú
tener compasión de tu compañero, como yo me
compadecí de ti?» (Mt 18,33). Y Jesús concluye: «Lo
mismo hará también mi Padre celestial con ustedes, si
no perdonan de corazón a sus hermanos» (Mt 18,35).
La parábola ofrece una profunda enseñanza a cada uno
de nosotros. Jesús afirma que la misericordia no es solo
el obrar del Padre, sino que ella se convierte en el
criterio para saber quiénes son realmente sus
verdaderos hijos. Así entonces, estamos llamados a
vivir de misericordia, porque a nosotros en primer
lugar se nos ha aplicado misericordia. El perdón de las
ofensas deviene la expresión más evidente del amor
misericordioso y para nosotros cristianos es un
imperativo del que no podemos prescindir. ¡Cómo es
difícil muchas veces perdonar! Y, sin embargo, el
perdón es el instrumento puesto en nuestras frágiles
manos para alcanzar la serenidad del corazón. Dejar
caer el rencor, la rabia, la violencia y la venganza son
condiciones necesarias para vivir felices. Acojamos
entonces la exhortación del Apóstol: «No permitan que
la noche los sorprenda enojados» (Ef 4,26). Y sobre
todo escuchemos la palabra de Jesús que ha señalado la
misericordia como ideal de vida y como criterio de
credibilidad de nuestra fe. «Dichosos los
misericordiosos, porque encontrarán misericordia» (Mt
5,7) es la bienaventuranza en la que hay que inspirarse
durante este Año Santo. Tomado de la Bula De Convocación Del
El Año Jubilar de la Misericordia – Durante este año el
Santísimo estará expuesto para la adoración todos los jueves
de la 1 a las 4 PM en la basílica de Southampton. Nuestra
comunidad latina acompañará al Santísimo de 3 a 4. Se
concluirá con la bendición solemne y habrá oportunidad de
confesarse a fin de ganar la gracia del año jubilar.
