PASTOR’S REFLECTION Presentation of the Lord February 2, 2014 Dear Friends, On this Feast of the Presentation of the Lord the Scriptures proclaimed present to us Christ as the “light” in the midst of the darkness of the World. The Light of Christ shines brightly for those who open their hearts to Christ’s Spirit. As we immerse ourselves over the next few weeks in Jesus’ Sermon on the Mount, it is important to remember that the one who fetches us is EMMANUEL, God -with-us. •

God is always with us… we need not be afraid!

As you reflect on God’s Word, may He strengthen you with His peace. May the good Lord bless you and your dear family now and always. Please pray for me. In Christ, Msgr. Pablo A. Navarro

JUSTICE CORNER FEBRUARY 2, 2014 Do Something! The prophet Malachi reminds us that we face the “refiner’s fire” but as St. Paul says, we are not alone. Jesus was tested through suffering. He can help us endure. Will we courageously present ourselves and our loved ones to God, saying, “Yes” to his holy will? Mary and Joseph willingly accepted the refiner’s fire, offering up their son to pay the price for our salvation. Are we willing to share in that cross by embracing difficult times so we can comfort others too? Seek out someone who is suffering. Instead of saying, “Let me know if I can help,” DO something! Deliver a meal. Run errands for them. Babysit. Drop their children to school or pick them up. If you’re not sure what to do ask, “What do you have difficulty doing?” The answer may reveal an opportunity to assist. When we share other people’s suffering and comfort them, our trials feel lighter. May we imitate Jesus by sharing our burdens.

ARCHBISHOP’S CHARITY AND DEVELOPMENT DRIVE (ABCD) The Scriptures are unambiguous about God’s concern for the poor. Open your hand to the poor and needy neighbor in your land (Deut. 15:11; Isa. 58:6-12. As the example of the saints has taught us, in loving and serving the poor, we too love and serve Jesus Himself. If you have not already turned in your commitment please take time today to consider the pledge you will wish to make, a pledge that gives witness to your gratitude for God’s blessings in your life. Your generous and unwavering support of the ABCD is a witness to your faith. We ask for your continued support by making a sacrificial pledge and join together to be One in Faith, One in Hope and One in Charity. Thank you.

FIN DE SEMANA DE COMPROMISO A LA CAMPAÑA DE CARIDADES Y DESARROLLO DEL ARZOBISPO Las Escrituras son inequívocas acerca de la preocupación de Dios por los pobres. Debes abrir tu mano a tu prójimo pobre y necesitado (Deut. 15:11; Isa. 58:6-12). Como el ejemplo de los santos nos ha enseñado, al amar y servir a los pobres, también amamos y servimos al propio Jesús. Si usted no ha respondido a la carta del Arzobispo Wenski recibida por correo, por favor, tome el tiempo hoy y haga su promesa al ABCD hoy, una promesa que dé testimonio de su gratitud por las bendiciones que Dios ha puesto en su vida. Su generoso y constante apoyo al ABCD es un testimonio de su fe. Le pedimos que persevere en este apoyo, haciendo una promesa de sacrificio para que todos permanezcamos Unidos en la Fe, Unidos en la Esperanza y Unidos en la Caridad. Muchas gracias.
