THE STAR OF BETHLEHEM The unfolding of the story of the Incar-nation continues today as the Church celebrates the Epiphany. The tale of the magi from the East is one of the most fascinating in all of scripture. It has much to teach us about what we can come to expect, even in circumstances and places that may seem insignificant or small. Bethlehem was a tiny town, what we might refer to today as a town without even one stop light. Yet it is over this seemingly insignificant place that the guiding star stops in its own search for the place where the Savior would be born. Too often we fail to rec-ognize the fact that the star of Bethlehem comes to rest in our everyday lives, where we can experience God's pres-ence, manifested in ever new ways. Epiphany calls us to shake off our stupor and recognize the One who comes to save us.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION
This year, in the United States the cele-bration of the Epiphany falls on January 8, but the traditional date for the Epipha-ny is January 6. The date we know as January 6 was established as the solstice in Egypt in 1996 BC, but the Egyptian calendar lost a full day every 128 years. Twenty centuries later the actual solstice had migrated to December 25. People still kept January 6 for the solstice cele-bration, but December 25, matching nicely with the Roman pagan feast of the Unconquered Sun, launched an extended solstice holiday. By the time of the early church, the whole period of twelve days was celebrated just about everywhere. Christians began to celebrate Christ as the true light of the world in four themes: the Nativity, the manifestation to the Gentiles, the baptism of the Lord, and the wedding feast at Cana. That was entirely too much for one day to handle. A twelve-day season was ready to be adapted, so Christians borrowed from the pagan calendar for their own season of light. Thus early Christian celebra-tions of the Christmas season extended from one date for the solstice, December 25, to the older date, January 6. The darkest time in the Northern Hemisphere could now be filled with the Christian observance of the arrival of the Light of the World.

LA ESTRELLA DE BELÉN El desarrollo del relato de la Encar-nación continúa hoy cuando la Iglesia celebra la Epifanía. La historia de los Magos de oriente es uno de los relatos más fascinantes de las Escrituras. Nos enseña mucho sobre qué podemos es-perar, incluso en circunstancias y lugares que pueden parecer insignificantes. Be-lén era un pueblo diminuto, lo que hoy diríamos un pueblo sin siquiera un semáforo. Sin embargo, es sobre este lugar aparentemente insignificante que la estrella guía se detuvo en su búsqueda del lugar en donde el Salvador nacería. Muchas veces no comprendemos que la estrella de Belén se posa en nuestra vida diaria, donde podemos sentir la presen-cia de Dios, manifestada de maneras diversas y nuevas. La Epifanía nos llama a salir de nuestro estupor y a reconocer a Aquél que viene a salvarnos.
Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co., Inc. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Es tiempo de añadir los reyes magos al pesebre. En 1448 llegaron los pesebres italian-os a las iglesias españolas, pero no fue hasta que el Rey Carlitalian-os III le regaló un pesebre a su hijo en el siglo XVIII que el uso de pesebres se expandió en los hogares. Desde entonces, el uso de nacimientos llegó al continente americano en donde se conviertió en la decoración principal para las fiestas navideñas.
Así como en todo país latinoamericano el montaje del Belén es una tradición, lo es también en Venezuela. Con el pesebre venezolano llegan también aguinaldos, parran-das, Misas y patines. ¡Sí! ¡Patines!
Desde la mitad del siglo pasado los venezolanos celebran la época navideña con "patinadas". Estas "patinadas" normalmente se hacen por las mañanas y muchas calles están cerradas a los autos hasta las 8 a.m. para que niños y jóvenes puedan disfrutar de los patines, bicicletas y otros juguetes que les regala el niño Dios. Por esto, muchos niños duermen con un "cordoncito" atado al dedo gordo de los pies, que cuelgan por la ventana para que los despierten los que pasan patinado.

Những tin lạc quan
liên hệ đến các tôn giáo trong năm 2016
1. Đối thoại với Hồi giáo
Ngày thứ Hai, 23-5-2016 tại Vatican, Đgh. Phanxicô đã tiếp kiến Sheik Ahmed Muhammad Al-Tayyib, Imam của đền Hồi giáo Al-Azhar. Hai vị nói đến “sự dấn thân chung của các vị lãnh đạo và các tín đồ của các tôn giáo lớn cho nền hoà bình thế giới, từ bỏ bạo lực và khủng bố, tình hình của các Kitô hữu trong bối cảnh xung đột và căng thẳng ở Trung Đông và việc bảo vệ họ.”
2. Lễ kỷ niệm 500 năm Cuộc Cải Cách Tin Lành
Trong tuyên bố chung được ký ngày 31-10-2016 Lund (Thụy Điển) giữa Đgm. Phanxicô và Gm. Mounib Younan, Chủ tịch Liên hiệp Tin Lành Luther thế giới, hai vị nhận định rằng 50 năm đối thoại kiên trì và hiệu quả giữa người Công giáo và người Tin Lành Luther đã giúp hai bên vượt qua nhiều khác biệt, củng cố sự hiểu biết và tin tưởng lẫn nhau và đã xích lại gần nhau qua việc cùng phục vụ những người đang chịu đau khổ và bị bách hại. Hai bên khẳng định rằng “những gì liên kết chúng tôi thì lớn hơn những điều gây chia rẽ”.
3. Công đồng Toàn Chính Thống
Đại công đồng Chính Thống giáo đã diễn ra ở Kriti (Hy Lạp) từ ngày 19 đến 26-6-2016. Đây là Công đồng đầu tiên của Chính Thống giáo kể từ cuộc đại ly khai vào năm 1054. Kết thúc Công đồng, 200 nhà lãnh đạo và giám mục của 10 (trong 14) Giáo hội tự trị đã gửi cho thế giới một sứ điệp, nhấn mạnh tầm quan trọng đối thoại với các Kitô hữu khác, kêu gọi ngừng việc bành trướng bạo lực quân sự, đòi hỏi bảo vệ các Kitô và các nhóm thiểu số bị đàn áp tại Trung Đông, và đề cập đến khủng hoảng sinh thái.
4. Người Hồi giáo cầu nguyện cho cha Jacques Hamel Thánh đường Hồi giáo Villeneuve-d’Ascq thuộc vùng Nord-Pas-de-Calais ở miền Bắc nước Pháp đã dành ngày thứ Sáu, 29-7-2016 để cầu nguyện cho cha Jacques Hamel, người bị sát hại ba ngày trước tại nhà thờ Saint-Etienne-du-Rouvray ở gần Rouen, khi ngài đang cử hành Thánh lễ. Buổi cầu nguyện quy tụ gần 400 tín đồ Hồi giáo.

Our Mission
To change the perceptions of a society that thinks abortion is an answer. Abortion does violence to women and to their chil-dren, both physically and emotionally. We deserve better than abortion.
We intend to establish a new West Coast tradition of celebrating life and we’re call-ing for solidarity among women and all people of good will in affirming human life.
Abortion harms women and men; it di-vides families and society. Women–and all people–deserve better than abortion. We strive to shed light on all issues of life, but particularly to change hearts hurt by the violence of abortion.
Life is the best and only good choice!

San Francisco
Walk with us Saturday, as we continue to peacefully proclaim our message in
ever-greater numbers. Walk with us to challenge the belief that abortion is a good choice for women. Walk to pro-claim that Life is the best choice for women!
The day will start with a short series of speeches around the theme of abor-tion’s damage to women, children, and families.
Speakers:
Pam Tebow– Prolife advocate and mother of Heisman Trophy winner Tim Tebow
Reggie Littlejohn– Founder and Presi-dent, Women’s Rights Without Fron-tiers
Melissa Ohden—Abortion survivor Rev. Clenard Childress– Founder, Black Genocide.org
The speeches will be at 12:30 pm at Civic Center Plaza with the walk on Market Street starting at 1:30 pm to end at Justin Herman Plaza (at the Em-barcadero)
