“True liberation is freeing people from the bonds that have prevented them from giving their gifts to others!” ... A ‘Happy and Prosperous New Year’ to you! ‘Thank you’, 2012! ‘Welcome’, 2013! Time! ... This Sunday (6) we celebrate the Epiphany of the Lord, where ‘wise ones’, from near and far, lay their treasures before Christ, and return home by another way! Wise ones still seek him! ... Next Sunday (13), we celebrate the Baptism of the Lord, and the beginning of Christ’s public life, at the age of 30. The Baptism of the Lord marks the end of the religious Christmas season. ... Enjoy the Pancake Breakfast in the Hall this Sunday (6) morning, prepared by our youth, in sup-port of their great ‘Build a House for a needy family in Tijuana’ project. ... Be sure to schedule your appointment for our Parish Book. Stop by the Parish Office or visit www.saintjohnencinitas.org Appointments are available through this Saturday (12), and will re-sume again on February 10. Remember, it’s free and you will receive a photo, as well as a copy of the book in June. Plan to be a part of it! ... If you have old photographs of our parish and it’s activities we would love to consider them for inclusion in our Parish Book. Of course, we will return the photos to you! ... And if you have personal gifts and skills that pertain to putting a book together - lay-out, graphic artist, historian - Father Brian would like to hear from you! Sharing gifts! ...

The Saint John School website is also a treasury of information at www.saintjohnschool.com ... We are aware of a number of people who have the Celia Sprue condition, and so cannot eat gluten, a major ingredient in wheat flour. We now have a low-gluten host, less that .01% wheat, available. To receive the Eucharist in this form just inform the Sacristan or Father before Mass, and then, at Communion time, plan to be first in line to receive from Father. We are only too happy to oblige!

... San Diego Blood Bank, sponsored by our Knights of Columbus, will be with us this Wednes-day (9), Thursday (10) and Friday (11) from 1:30pm - 7:00pm each day, right in front of the church.

They are all now accepting 9th Grade applications for the 2013-2014 school year, and each school will hold an Entrance Exam on Saturday (26). Application Forms may be downloaded from their websites. ... Julie Marner, our Music Director, hosts a Choir Practice every Tuesday and Wednesday at 5:00pm. E-mail Julie at music@saintjohnencinitas.org ... It was great to see so many celebrate with us over Christmas! $38,957.50 was contributed at our Christmas Masses in support of our ministry! ...

ENCUENTRO CON DIOS

Los espléndidos R e y e s M a g o s destellantes, majestuoso y solemnes, salen hoy de las páginas de Mateo y van rumbo a nuestra ig les ia . Solamente Mateo nos habla de esta grande e interesante historia para que podamos ver la luz y saber que el niño que visitaron los Reyes Magos era el cumplimiento de la profecía, el rey cuyo mensaje llega hasta la tierra natal de estos magos y mucho más allá, hasta nuestra época. Nosotros también nuevamente podemos ver y entender. Al igual que estos magos, nuestros santos patrones en este día, vemos en el niño recién nacido al rey del universo y la luz del mundo. Como los Reyes Magos, encontramos dentro de nosotros una nueva fe y una nueva vida. Como ellos, regresamos a casa por una nueva ruta. Se nos pide terminemos esta temporada festiva renovados y consientes de la presencia de Dios entre nosotros. Se nos pide encontrar a Dios donde se le puede encontrar, que estemos atentos y listos para, con asombro, inclinarnos en adoración y ofrecer nuestras ofrendas.

LA EPIFANIA

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 pesebre a su hijo en el siglo XVIII que el uso de pesebres se expandió en los hogares. Desde entonces, el uso de nacimientos llega al continente americano en donde se convierte en la decoración principal para las fiestas navideñas. 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, parrandas, Misas y patines. ¡Sí! ¡Patines! Desde la mitad del siglo pasado los venezolanos celebran la época navideña con “patinadas”. Estas “patinadas” normalmente se hacen por las mañanas y muchas calles están cerradas a los autos hasta las 8am para que niños y jóvenes puedan disfrutar de los patines, bicicletas y otros juguetes que les regala el niño Dios. Por eso, muchos niños duermen con un “cordoncito” atado al dedo gordo de los pies, que cuelgan por la ventana para que los despierten los que pasan patinado.
