THE WORD OF GOD THIS SUNDAY: For this Sunday,
the Feast of the Epiphany of the Lord, the Scriptural readings begin with a passage from the prophet Isaiah in
which we are told of one who is to come who will be the
light to the nations. In the second reading, from the Letter to the Ephesians, we are told of the grace and mystery
of faith in Jesus Christ. In the Gospel, we hear that the
Magi has followed the star that led to Christ.
EPIPHANY HOME BLESSING: An ancient Catholic
custom is the blessing of homes on or near the feast of
the Epiphany. Those wishing to do so are welcome to
obtain a prayer card for this purpose as you leave Mass.
There is also blessed chalk to mark the doorways of your
home.

Eucharistic adoration on the second Monday of each
month (from after morning Mass until 8:00 p.m.) in the

are that someone should be present before the Eucharist
at all times. Parishioners are asked to spend some time
before the Blessed Sacrament during the day. Please
sign up for a time on the board that is provided on the
counter near the candle stands.

Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem!
Your light has come, the glory
of the Lord shines upon you.
— Isaiah 60:1
Page Four
Today we celebrate the feast of the
Epiphany, where the Magi find the newborn king and offer him gifts of gold,
frankincense and myrrh.
In the spirit of the Magi, please put your gift in the St.
Vincent de Paul Poor Box so that comfort and peace
can once again be given to a newborn child.
If you know of a family in need, please contact the
Society of St. Vincent de Paul by calling the parish
office
4 Stages of Marriage – The 4 stages of marriage are: (1) Romance, (2) Disillusionment, (3) Misery, and (4) Awakening.
Many marriages experience the first 3 Stages. Marriages that
end in divorce never make it to the 4th Stage of Awakening.
Don’t give up without learning about the 4th Stage of Awakening.
If your marriage suffers from Disillusionment or Misery please
contact Retrouvaille (pronounced retro-vi with a long i). For
confidential information about or to register for the program beginning with a weekend on January 15, 2016, please contact
Retrouvaille at 412-277-3434. More information is available at
http://www.retrouvailleofpittsburghinc.org./

MUSIC MINISTRY
On this feast of Epiphany we begin
with the traditional song, We Three
Kings. I have often wondered why
the Magi brought those specific gifts
of gold, frankincense and myrrh.
Since the early days of Christianity,
biblical scholars have offered varying interpretations of the meaning and significance of
these gifts. These valuable items were standard gifts
to offer a King or deity in the ancient world: gold as a
precious metal, frankincense as a perfume or incense, and myrrh as an anointing oil. In fact, these
same three items were apparently among the gifts,
recorded in ancient inscriptions, that King Seleucus II
Callinicus offered to the god Apollo at the temple of
Miletus in 243 B.C.E. The Book of Isaiah, when describing Jerusalem’s glorious restoration, tells of nations and kings who will come and “bring gold and
frankincense and proclaim the praise of the
Lord” (Isaiah 60:6) Scholars think that these three
gifts were chosen for their special spiritual symbolism
about Jesus himself: gold represents his kingship,
frankincense a symbol of his priestly role, and myrrh a
prefiguring of his death and embalming. So, the next
time you sing this popular hymn, remember the vast
history behind the texts! (research from the Bible History Daily website, written by the Biblical Archeological Society staff)
Our choirs can be heard at the following masses:
Children’s Choir
Adult Choir
Devoto Bells
FELLOWSHIP DINNERS
These Wednesday evening meals are of great help
to our neighbors and provide food and fellowship for
those in any need. Dinner is served from 5:00 – 6:00
p.m. every Wednesday in the Parish Hall (next to the
church in Mars on the corner of Clark and Cherry
Streets).
THANK YOU
Thank you to Giant Eagle for their weekly donations
of baked goods to the Food Pantry and McGinnis
Sisters for their weekly donations of baked goods

thanks to all our dinner sponsors and volunteers.

SCHOOL CORNER
“A shoot will spring forth from the stump of Jesse, and a branch out of his roots.” Isaiah 11:1
This quote from Isaiah was the focus of our first grade unit during Advent. As teachers we wanted to take some
special time to focus on preparing our children for the coming of Christ by way of a Jesse Tree journal. Each day we
read a story from the Bible. The stories were centered on kings and common people, about widows and children
and brave fighters. These stories traced the family roots of Jesus through the Old Testament, and ended with the
story of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ. After reading and discussing each story, the students then journaled
about the daily reading and created an ornament that represented the theme of the story. These lessons helped our
students deepen their own roots and understanding of faith.
As we begin this New Year, we continue to follow Jesus and his teachings. We will learn how Jesus calls upon each
of us to be his disciples and focus on implementing acts of kindness every day of the year and throughout our lives.
Have a blessed, healthy, Happy New Year!
