Enero 6 2021 Fiesta de la Epifanía Celebramos la “Manifestación” de Dios a Todos los hombres. Jesús ha venido para revelar el Amor de Dios a todos los pue-blos y ser luz de todas las naciones. Homilía del Papa Francisco 2020“Adorar es hacerse pequeño en presencia del Altísimo, descubrir ante Él que la grandeza de la vida no consiste en tener, sino en amar. Adorar es redescu-brirnos hermanos y hermanas frente al misterio del amor que supera toda distancia: es obtener el bien de la fuente, es encon-trar en el Dios cercano la valentía para aproximarnos a los demás. Adorar es saber guardar silencio ante la Palabra divina, para aprender a decir palabras que no duelen, sino que consuelan.La adoración es un gesto de amor que cambia la vida. Es actuar como los Magos: es traer oro al Señor, para decirle que nada es más precioso que Él; es ofrecerle incienso, para decirle que sólo con Él puede elevarse nuestra vida; es presentarle mirra, con la que se ungían los cuerpos heridos y destrozados, para pedirle a Jesús que socorra a nuestro prójimo que está marginado y sufriendo, porque allí está Él. ”

FLOCKNOTE instructions

Our Parish is trying to keep better connected to all of the Flock of St. Teresa of Kolkata Parish. We are encourag-ing you to sign up to participate by doing one of the fol-lowing things: By Text- When text messaging, type 84576 then type the message STK (all Capitals )

or go to STTERESAOFKOLKATA.FLOCKNOTE.COM and follow the simple instructions. This will be a great tool for us to use for everyone and will give us the capability to better communicate to certain groups (e.g. Woman’s Guild, Lectors, Choir members, Prayerline, …)

Through the eyes of King Melchior I was a man with a keen mind – even a brilliant one, many would often say. I was well-educated, acquiring tremendous knowledge of the various disciplines, which brought me much praise and applause. And yet my passion was always to ex-plore and discover the true essence of things. I felt confident in these abilities, and (I must admit) I enjoyed the admiration for my efforts… Now here we were on a journey different from all the others. We had studied the stars and the prophetic writ-ings, and with the passing of time, we had become thoroughly convinced the message was true. The anticipation grew in our minds – this search for the King… Now, we made our way through the darkness, the heavy-laden camels dragged slowly behind. We had crossed empires and deserts, but the last few miles from Jerusalem seemed end-less. We made our way through the narrow streets and found the light falling upon the simplest of dwellings. Unable to wait until the sun rose above the hills, my companion knocked. The door opened, and without hesitation (as if he had been waiting for our arrival), a kindly man with gentle features ushered us in from the cold. We were led to a dimly lit corner where sat a young woman. As we reverently approached, she glanced up and smiled, and I spontaneously bowed – for she had the no-bility of a queen… Now, no man could ever know or comprehend what I must tell you next. The young woman bent low, as if to direct our gaze to Him. In an instant, I was on my knees, transfixed be-fore the most beautiful of all faces. It was the face of a child. What I encountered in that brief but momentous minute was so astonishing I can barely say. Here in this poor, humble, little King I found all the wisdom that ever was. Here I somehow knew, was the source of all truth. Overwhelmed, I could not utter a single word, but simple knelt in adoration.

(Magnificat Jan 2021—from Epiphanies written by the Sisters of Life)

DAILY MASS — Are you re-tired? Unemployed? Looking for more spiritual fulfillment in your life? Why not come to daily Mass. We have two Masses each weekday to choose from. It is a great way to start your day. It is a great way to grow closer to the Lord in His gift of the Eucha-rist. Please see the Mass schedule on page 4 of today’s bulletin for Mass times and churches.

January 4 is the feast of Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. We hope that the Sisters of Charity, who have served in our parish and schools for many years have a blessed feast day as they celebrate their foundress. We are blessed that the Sisters continue to have a presence within our parish and Brookline community.

Year of St. Joseph—Dec.8, 2020 to Dec. 8, 2021

In a new Apostolic Letter enti-tled Patris corde (“With a Father’s Heart”), Pope Francis describes Saint Joseph as a beloved father, a tender and loving father, an obedient father, an accepting father; a father who is crea-tively courageous, a working father, a father in the shadows.

The Letter marks the 150th anniversary of Blessed Pope Pius IX’s declaration of St Joseph as Patron of the Uni-versal Church. To celebrate the anniversary, Pope Francis has proclaimed a special “Year of St Joseph,” beginning on the Solemnity of the Immaculate Conception 2020 and extending to the same feast in 2021.
