From Monsignor Fran Cilia ___________________________________________ There is an old expression in the Church, “lex orandi, lex credendi,” translated as “the rule of prayer is the rule of faith. Put in other words, it means that the way we pray reflects what we believe. Since “the person who sings, prays twice,” (qui cantat, bis orat), what we sing as part of our prayer at Mass should be a clear reflection of our theology, as you can see below in the hymn I learned in school and church long before I became a teen. Parish Mission Statement This hymn celebrated the Lord’s Epiphany as more than the one event of the visit of the magi. It included two additional manifestations, the Baptism of Jesus and the changing of water into wine at the wedding Founded in 1777, feast at Cana in Galilee, which is our gospel reading for this weekend.

General Parish Meeting Sunday, February 6 at 2:00 pm Main Office Number _____________________________________________ (408) 248-7786 Pastor/Párroco As we begin charting the course the parish will travel toward our Monsignor Francis V. Cilia 250th Jubilee in 2027, we will embark upon a path that loosely cilia@dsj.org follows the “Synodal” process that has been inaugurated for the (669) 270-2700 universal Church by Pope Francis. Our formal parish introduction to this process of “encounter, listening and discerning” will begin on Parochial Vicar/ Sunday afternoon, February 6, from 2:00 until 3:30, in the parish Vicario Parroquial hall. More details will follow, but please plan to attend and even Father Jonathan Cuarto bring others who might not have been to church for a short or long jonathan.cuarto@dsj.org time. We hope to hear from as many as possible. For now, if you (669) 270-2701 could email Msgr. Fran (cilia@dsj.org) letting us know how many Saint Clare School Principal will attend, this will be a great help. Again, more details will follow.

De Monseñor Fran Cilia _____________________________________ Hay una antigua expresión en la Iglesia, “lex orandi, lex credendi”, traducida como “la regla de la oración es la regla de la fe. En otras palabras, significa que la forma en que oramos refleja lo que creemos. Ya que “el que canta, ora dos veces” (qui cantat, bis orat), lo que cantamos como parte de nuestra oración en la Misa debe ser un claro reflejo de nuestra teología, como pueden ver a continuación en el himno que aprendí en la escuela. y la iglesia mucho antes de convertirme en adolescente. Este himno celebró la Epifanía del Señor como algo más que el único evento de la visita de los magos. Incluyó dos manifestaciones adicionales, el bautismo de Jesús y la transformación del agua en vino en la fiesta de bodas en Caná de Galilea, que es nuestra lectura del evangelio para este fin de semana. Canciones de Agradecimiento y Alabanza Cantos de agradecimiento y alabanza, Manifiesta en el arroyo del Jordán, Jesús, Señor, a ti elevamos, Profeta, Sacerdote y Rey supremo, manifestado por la estrella y en Caná, invitado de bodas, a los Reyes Magos de lejos, en tu Deidad manifestada; rama del tallo real de David, manifiesta en poder divino, en tu nacimiento en Belén. cambiando el agua en vino. Los himnos sean dirigidos a ti, Los himnos sean dirigidos a ti, Dios en carne hecho manifiesto. Dios en carne hecho manifiesto. Que sigamos reconociendo al Señor a lo largo de nuestras vidas y en nuestro mundo. Segunda Colecta: La Iglesia en América Latina _______________________________________________________________________ La información sobre la colecta anual de la próxima semana para la Iglesia en América Latina se puede encontrar en la hoja de información que se imprime como parte del Boletín de esta semana. Gracias por considerar cómo puede apoyar este buen trabajo. Reunión General Parroquial Domingo 6 de Febrero a las 2:00 pm _________________________________________________________ A medida que comenzamos a trazar el curso que la parroquia viajará hacia nuestro 250 aniversario en 2027, nos embarcaremos en un camino que vagamente sigue el proceso "sinodal" que ha sido inaugurado para el Iglesia universal por el Papa Francisco. Nuestra introducción formal parroquial a este proceso de “encuentro, escucha y discernimiento” comenzará el domingo 6 de febrero por la tarde, de 2:00 a 3:30, en el salón parroquial. Más detalles seguirán, pero por favor planee asistir e incluso traer a otras personas que quizás no hayan ido a la iglesia por un tiempo corto o largo. Esperamos tener noticias de tantos como sea posible. Por ahora, si pudiera enviar un correo electrónico a Mons. Fran (cilia@dsj.org) haciéndonos saber cuántos asistirán, esto será de gran ayuda. Nuevamente, seguirán más detalles. ¡Gracias! 8
Con la llegada del nuevo año, nuestra parroquia y diócesis renuevan la Campaña Diocesana Anual. El tema de la Campaña de este año es Crecer juntos en la fe. El correo de la ADA debería llegar a sus hogares en unos días. Lea los materiales que describen la solicitud del obispo Cantú, según las necesidades de la Diócesis. Mons. Fran también ha escrito una carta para animar apoyo no solo a la Diócesis, sino también a la parroquia. Nuestra meta diocesana para este año es $ 85,674. Hemos agregado una meta parroquial adicional de $ 64,326, para un total de $150,000. Si logramos esta meta total, tendremos fondos suficientes para volver a techar la iglesia, con suerte antes de fin de año. Este objetivo es ambicioso, pero si todos trabajamos juntos, definitivamente podemos lograrlo. Considere su respuesta a la apelación de este año durante las próximas semanas. Le pediremos su compromiso a finales de enero.

Boletim Paroquial Português Domingo II do Tempo Comum -C Reflexão por: João Pereira Arruda ______________________________________________ Entramos no Tempo Comum com o primeiro milagre de Jesus nas bodas de Caná. Pode-se observar neste Evangelho deste Domingo do papel de Maria em apontar Jesus como solução dos nossos problemas. Maria ao observar a falta de vinho e que esta falta poderia resultar em desastre numa festa de grande importância na sociedade de então; muito discretamente apontou Jesus como a solução deste problema dizendo “ fazei tudo como Ele vos disser”. Jesus neste milagre afirmou a sua divindade revelando aos Apóstolos e seus discípulos de como Deus é operante na tranformação das nossas vidas. Tal como a transformação da água em vinho é reconhecida pela alegria que gera de quem dele usa; assim Jesus opera tranformação nas nossas vidas transformando-as do desalento á esparança da salvação. Ao observarem o milagre os presentes reconhecerem em Jesus como alguém com um poder forte de transformação sobrenatural. Pela fé também nos é legado esse poder de transformação. Primeiro temos que reconhecer que a transformações que operamos nas nossas vidas não podem ser bem sucedidas sem a presença operante de Jesus Cristo; qualquer transformação não acontece por mere acaso mas pela oração e esforços e experiências de vivença com Jesus estas transformações acontecem e o nosso crescimento acontece na confiança de que Jesus está connosco e não nos abandona. Segundo: Jesus não marca preseça naquilo que pensamos ser processos de transformação de vida; mas sómente desejos que gostaria-mos de ter ou possuir mas estes são “decorações” para adornarem a casa mas não são de importância na sustentabilidade desta para ser moradia. Há uma diferença muito grande no “desejo de tranformação”; entre o essencia e crescimento de vida e o desejo de ter melhor – mais poderoso ou mais rico do que os outros. Ganhar a lotaria pode transformar de pobre a rica mas não assegura de ser pecador em santo. A palavra de ordem para este Domingo em que entramos nas liturgias do Tempo Comum é “TRANSFORMAÇÃO” e assim sugerimos que se faça uma refleção séria sobre o significado da mesma e a importância que tem no nosso viver quuotidiano cristão. Depois das grandes celebrações do Tempo do Natal e até á entrada no Tempo de Quaresma, iremos viver este Tempo Comum caminhando com Jesus Cristo no nosso dia a dia, que é tão importante como viver as grandes festas da nossa fé. Jesus Cristo continua a nos assistir com a Sua presença na Eucaristia e na Santa Comunhão. Na caminhado que fazemos sejamos orantes e generosos no uso dos nossos dons espirituais ao bem comum das nossas famílias, comunidade e paróquia que pertencemos e neste processo Jesus está connosco passo a passo a transformar o nosso crecimento de vida na fé. Prespectivas de Ano Novo ________________________________________ Continuamos em tempo de pandemia; tem sido um tempo de sofrimento, abnegação, a mudança de costumes ou hábitos. A nossa aderência e obediência ás sugestões que nos são apresentadas pelas autoridades do Condado e da nossa Diocese de São José têem sido cumpridas e esta atitude é cristão e louvável. Neste Novo Ano de 2022 continuemos neste mesmo espírito atentos ás mudaças a que estamos sugeitos continuemos a orar pelo fim desta pandemia, pelos que estão infectados e pelos que corajosamente continuam a assistir os infectados e enfermos. A pandemia também causa incerteza no projectos que o nosso Conselho tem de actividades para a nossa comunidade, cedo estes apareçam serão apresentados na página portuguesa deste boletim. Um Santo e feliz Domingo para todos!! 10
