Dear People of God,

Good morning. Hope, everyone is keeping well. On this fourth Sunday of ordinary time, the readings remind us that God delights in the humbleness. He looks at the humble and lowly and fills them with his wisdom, virtue and the holiness of Christ.

In the first reading from the book of Zephaniah, God promises to preserve a remnant for Israel. However, one remarkable thing about this promise is that this group would be made up of only humble and lowly people. In our second reading, Paul reminds us that God delights in the humble of heart. Although, He does not discriminate, he often choses the lowly and poor in spirit. So, Paul encourages us not to be ashamed of the Christian community because of its composition of members of little human wisdom, intelligence, power and material wealth.

Dear People of God,

First of all, I thank sincerely all those who helped to remove all the decorations in our three Churches. There were many hands. Hearty appreciation to them all. May our mighty God bless you with His choicest blessings.

On this third Sunday, the Scripture readings teach us that Christ has brought us from the darkness of sin into the Light of God by calling us to repentance and the acceptance of God’s rule over us.

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Jesus Christ,

Again, I want to thank all the volunteers who helped make our Christmas and New year Liturgies possible. The decorators who readied our churches. The parish staff (Connie) who worked so hard behind the scenes this time of year. Thank you for all your work! To those who have sent me Christmas cards - THANK YOU! Your kind notes and generosity are greatly appreciated.

Today we celebrate the solemnity of Epiphany, and in a most special way the day of the three kings who brought Jesus very costly and symbolic gifts of gold, mire, and frankincense. The term Epiphany is of Greek origin, epiphaninen. It is a verb which means “to reveal,” or “to manifest.”. "Epiphany" refers to God’s Self-revelation as well as to the revelation of Jesus as His Son to all mankind.
