SOLEMNITY OF THE EPIPHANY – Today we celebrate this beautiful feast of the “Three Kings” in which Our Lord is manifested as the Savior of all mankind. All nations are called to adore the Lord. This feast reminds us of the universality of God’s love for all of us. THANK YOU! – With Christmas this year falling on a Saturday, things were a bit more challenging than usual for our liturgical ministers and our altar decorations group. But everyone worked together to make it all happen. The church still looks beautiful this week after Christmas since we are still in the Christmas season until next Sunday's feast of the Baptism of the Lord. While the rest of the world put away their Christmas decorations on the "first day of Christmas," we do not. We continue to celebrate Christmas throughout these beautiful days of the season. WELCOME FR. COTTER! – This Friday we will welcome back Fr. Donal Cotter once again to our parish. Father Cotter is a priest of the Diocese of Cork and Ross in Ireland. He has been visiting us during the summer for many years. Until, of course, 2020 and 2021 when everything changed in our world. So instead of coming in the summer, he had to postpone his trip and is now joining us in winter. I hope he likes California winters. I'm afraid they're not much different than Irish summers! But we are truly happy to have him back at St. Andrew's! PLAN FOR THE FUTURE! – One of the chief sources of funding for major projects in most parishes comes from bequests which are left to it by faithful parishioners. In every parish I’ve been assigned, almost annually a large financial contribution is received from someone who has remembered the parish in their Last Will and Testament. It is usually not the full amount of the estate (although at times it is) but it is at least a portion. It is also common to name a parish as the beneficiary in a life insurance policy. These types of bequests are vital to the long-term running of the parish as they are the means by which large construction and maintenance projects are funded. I encourage you to prayerfully consider the possibility of remembering the parish in your Will and/or naming it as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy. This is a great way of ensuring that your legacy continues long into the future as the parish serves the many other generations. May God reward you for your generosity. NEW GROUP FOR GIRLS AND YOUNG LADIES STARTS THIS MONTH – I'm very happy to announce that we are finally starting two new groups for the girls in the parish: One group will be for girls ages 8-12 calls "Girls with Goodness" and the other is for girls (teens) ages 13-18 called "Girls with Grace." Both of these are being started by several moms and young ladies of our parish and I am very grateful for your leadership and initiative. I had announced this many months ago but, with all the restrictions of the pandemic, things got slowed down. But now we're starting it in the New Year. These two groups for girls and young ladies will well complement our current program for Altar Boys (boys 3rd grade through 8th grade) and Knights of the Altar (young men 9th grade and up through college). These complimentary groups are meant to help our youth to be formed in the Faith and grow in virtue, discipline and goodness. There will be more detailed information in the upcoming bulletins. HAPPY NEW YEAR! – Lastly, on behalf of Father Martin Rodriguez and our entire staff, I want to wish you and your family a very Happy New Year filled with the Lord’s blessings! May 2022 be far better than 2021! In Christ and St. Andrew, Fr. Gonzalez

DIRECTOR OF MUSIC The Epiphany of the Lord - January 2, 2022 Introit Ecce advenit dominator Dominus: et regnum in manu eius, et potestas, et imperium. Ps. Deus, iudicium tuum regida: et iustitiam tuam filio regis. Behold, the Lord, your Ruler, has come: and the Kingdom is in his hand, and the power, and the dominion. Psalm verse: Give to the king thy Judgment, O God: and to the king’s Son, thy justice. MUSIC IN THE LITURGY The Epiphany of the Lord, the third highest-ranked feast day of the entire liturgical year, is often not given the care of celebration it calls for. In the visitation of the shepherds commemorated on the feast of the Nativity (Christmas), we see the manifestation of the Incarnate Word to God’s chosen people, the Jews. This feast day marks the epiphany, or manifestation, of the Incarnate Word to the gentiles—that is, to the nations. It is not without good reason, then, that the first reading tells us: “rise up in splendor, Jerusalem! Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you,” for it is true: now God-with-us is made manifest to the Jews. We join our voices with the psalmist to proclaim in the responsorial psalm, “Lord, every nation on earth will adore you.” And in the Gospel reading, we read of the gentiles who came at the guidance of a star to adore the Lord. These were the magi, members of the Persian priestly caste of the Zoroastrian religion. Their gifts numbered three, in fulfilment of the prophecy of Isaiah 60 (second reading): “Caravans of camels shall fill you, dromedaries from Midian and Ephah; all from Sheba shall come bearing gold and frankincense, and proclaiming the praises of the Lord. The three gifts, gold, frankincense, and myrrh, are prophecies, in themselves, that foretell Jesus’s earthly life: gold is for a king—here, for the King of kings—while frankincense is what is offered to a deity; and myrrh, a resin of the myrrh tree (which is related to the tree from which frankincense is obtained) produces a bitter, acrid smoke when burnt, and is linked with funerary customs throughout the near east; this “bitter perfume” foretells Jesus’s death on the cross. Once again, as in the Infancy Narrative, the birth of Christ is linked intimately with his Passion, Death, and Resurrection. This is the reason we sing the full, traditional version of the hymn What Child Is this? In all modern hymnals, even hymnals that purport to be “traditional,” this hymn is truncated and we are left with a refrain at the end of every verse: “This, this is Christ the King whom shepherds guard and angels sing. Haste, haste to bring him laud, the Babe, the Son of Mary.” In reality, this is merely the second half of the strophe. The usually-suppressed second half of strophe 2 reads, “Nails, spear shall pierce him through; the Cross be borne for me, for you. Hail! Hail the Word- Made-Flesh, the Babe, the Son of Mary.” One often reads in pious publications something along the lines of “without the Cross, the Nativity is meaningless.” This is nonsensical because such a separation of things that are inseparable is inconceivable. The salvific act of God in his most gracious coming as Man, his earthly life, his Passion, Death, and Resurrection, are part of a single act of love, the Paschal Mystery. In the same way, in the pre-Vatican II liturgy, the Epiphany celebrated three manifestations: that of Christ to the gentiles in the visit of the Magi; that of his manifestation to the whole world as the Son of God in his baptism at the Jordan; and the manifestation of his power over nature in the Wedding at Cana, changing water into wine at the behest of the Blessed Virgin. It is for this reason that the recessional hymn today—so rich in theology and well worth staying to sing or listen to—speaks of all of these things, for all of them speak to the manifestation—the meaning of “epiphany”—of God-with-us, Emmanuel.
SOLEMNIDAD DE LA EPIFANÍA – Hoy celebramos esta hermosa fiesta de los “Reyes Magos” en la que Nuestro Señor se manifiesta como el Salvador de toda la humanidad. Todas las naciones están llamadas a adorar al Señor. Esta fiesta nos recuerda la universalidad del amor de Dios por todos nosotros. ¡GRACIAS! – Con la Navidad de este año cayendo en sábado, las cosas fueron un poco más desafiantes de lo habitual para nuestros ministros litúrgicos y nuestro grupo de decoración del altar. Pero todos trabajaron juntos para que todo sucediera. La iglesia todavía se ve hermosa esta semana después de Navidad ya que todavía estamos en la temporada navideña hasta la fiesta del Bautismo del Señor el próximo domingo. Mientras que el resto del mundo guarda sus adornos navideños el "primer día de Navidad", nosotros no. Seguimos celebrando la Navidad a lo largo de estos hermosos días de la temporada. ¡BIENVENIDO PADRE COTTER! – Este viernes volveremos a recibir al Padre Donal Cotter una vez más a nuestra parroquia. El Padre Cotter es sacerdote de la diócesis de Cork y Ross en Irlanda. Nos ha estado visitando durante el verano durante muchos años. Hasta, por supuesto, 2020 y 2021 cuando todo cambió en nuestro mundo. Entonces, en lugar de venir en verano, tuvo que posponer su viaje y ahora se une a nosotros en invierno. Espero que le gusten los inviernos de California. ¡Me temo que no son muy diferentes a los veranos irlandeses! ¡Pero estamos realmente felices de tenerlo de regreso en San Andrés! ¡PLAN PARA EL FUTURO! – Una de las principales fuentes de financiación para proyectos importantes en la mayoría de las parroquias proviene de los legados que le dejan los fieles feligreses. En cada parroquia que me han asignado, casi anualmente se recibe una gran contribución financiera de alguien que ha recordado la parroquia en su Última Voluntad y Testamento. Por lo general, no es el monto total de la herencia (aunque a veces lo es), pero es al menos una parte. También es común nombrar a una parroquia como beneficiaria en una póliza de seguro de vida. Este tipo de legados son vitales para el funcionamiento a largo plazo de la parroquia, ya que son el medio por el cual se financian los grandes proyectos de construcción y mantenimiento. Le animo a considerar en oración la posibilidad de recordar a la parroquia en su testamento y / o nombrarla como beneficiaria de una póliza de seguro de vida. Esta es una excelente manera de asegurar que su legado continúe en el futuro mientras la parroquia sirve a muchas otras generaciones. Que Dios le recompense por su generosidad. NUEVO GRUPO PARA NIÑAS Y JOVENCITAS COMIENZA ESTE MES – Estoy muy contento en anunciar que por fin estamos comenzados dos nuevos grupos para las niñas en nuestra parroquia: Un grupo es para niñas de edades de 8 a 12 llamado "Niñas con Bondad" y el otro para muchachas (adolescentes) edades de 13-18 llamada "Chicas con Gracia." Ambos de estos grupos se están comenzando por varias mamas y jóvenes de nuestra parroquia y estoy muy agradecido de su liderazgo e iniciativa. Había anunciado esto hace varios meses, pero, con todas las restricciones de la pandemia, las cosas se atrasaron. Pero ahora estamos comenzando en el Año Nuevo. Estos dos grupos para niñas y chicas complementaran bien nuestro actual programa para Monaguillos (varones de 3r grado a 8vo grado) y Caballeros del Altar (varones jóvenes de 9no grado a universidad). Estos dos grupos complementarios están diseñados a asistir a nuestra juventud a formarse en la Fe y crecer en virtud, disciplina y bondad. Habra mas información detallada en proximos boletines. ¡FELIZ AÑO NUEVO! – Por último, en nombre del Padre Martín Rodríguez y de todo nuestro personal, quiero desearle a usted y a su familia un Feliz Año Nuevo lleno de las bendiciones del Señor. ¡Que 2022 será mucho mejor que 2021! Sinceramente en Cristo y San Andrés, Padre González

DEL DIRECTOR DE MUSICA: La Epifanía del Señor - 2 de enero de 2022 Introito Ecce advenit dominator Dominus: et regnum in manu eius, et potestas, et imperium. PD. Deus, iudicium tuum regida: et iustitiam tuam filio regis. He aquí, el Señor, tu Gobernador, ha venido; y el Reino está en su mano, y el poder y el dominio. Versículo del salmo: Da al rey tu juicio, oh Dios, y al Hijo del rey, tu derecho. MÚSICA EN LA LITURGIA La Epifanía del Señor, la tercera fiesta de mayor rango de todo el año litúrgico, a menudo no recibe el cuidado de celebración que requiere. En la visita de los pastores conmemorada en la fiesta de la Natividad (Navidad), vemos la manifestación del Verbo Encarnado al pueblo elegido de Dios, los judíos. Este día de fiesta marca la epifanía o manifestación del Verbo Encarnado a los gentiles, es decir, a las naciones. No en vano, entonces, la primera lectura nos dice: “¡Levántate en esplendor, Jerusalén! Ha venido tu luz, la gloria del Señor brilla sobre ti ”, porque es verdad: ahora Dios con nosotros se manifiesta a los judíos. Unimos nuestras voces a las del salmista para proclamar en el salmo responsorial: “Señor, todas las naciones de la tierra te adorarán”. Y en la lectura del Evangelio, leemos acerca de los gentiles que vinieron guiados por una estrella para adorar al Señor. Estos eran los magos, miembros de la casta sacerdotal persa de la religión zoroástrica. Sus dones fueron tres, en cumplimiento de la profecía de Isaías 60 (segunda lectura): “Caravanas de camellos te llenarán, dromedarios de Madián y de Efa; todos de Sabá vendrán trayendo oro e incienso, y proclamando las alabanzas del Señor. Los tres dones, oro, incienso y mirra, son profecías, en sí mismas, que predicen la vida terrena de Jesús: el oro es para un rey, aquí, para el Rey de reyes, mientras que el incienso es lo que se ofrece a una deidad; y la mirra, una resina del árbol de la mirra (que está relacionada con el árbol del que se obtiene el incienso) produce un humo amargo y acre cuando se quema, y está relacionada con las costumbres funerarias en todo el Cercano Oriente; este "perfume amargo" presagia la muerte de Jesús en la cruz. Una vez más, como en la Narrativa de la infancia, el nacimiento de Cristo está íntimamente ligado a su Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección. Esta es la razón por la que cantamos la versión completa y tradicional del himno ¿Que Niño es este? En todos los himnarios modernos, incluso en los que pretenden ser “tradicionales”, este himno está truncado y nos queda un estribillo al final de cada versículo: “Este es Cristo Rey, a quien los pastores custodian y los ángeles cantan. Prisa, prisa por traerle alabanza, el Niño, el Hijo de María ”. En realidad, esta es simplemente la segunda mitad de la estrofa. La segunda mitad generalmente suprimida de la estrofa 2 dice: “Clavos, una lanza lo traspasará; la Cruz sea llevada por mí, por ti. ¡Granizo! Dios te salve, el Verbo hecho carne, el Niño, el Hijo de María ". A menudo se lee en publicaciones piadosas algo como "sin la Cruz, la Natividad no tiene sentido". Esto no tiene sentido porque tal separación de cosas que son inseparables es inconcebible. El acto salvífico de Dios en su más bondadosa venida como Hombre, su vida terrena, su Pasión, Muerte y Resurrección, forman parte de un solo acto de amor, el Misterio Pascual. De la misma manera, en la liturgia anterior al Vaticano II, la Epifanía celebró tres manifestaciones: la de Cristo a los gentiles en la visita de los Magos; el de su manifestación al mundo entero como el Hijo de Dios en su bautismo en el Jordán; y la manifestación de su poder sobre la naturaleza en las Bodas de Caná, transformando el agua en vino a instancias de la Santísima Virgen. Es por eso que el himno de recesión de hoy, tan rico en teología y que vale la pena quedarse para cantarlo o escucharlo, habla de todas estas cosas, porque todas hablan de la manifestación, el significado de “epifanía”, de Dios. -con-nosotros, Emmanuel.
