Page Two! Historic Old Saint John’s Church! ! ! Today’s feast, The Bapsm of the Lord, officially ends the Christmas season for our Church. When I was growing up, we always celebrated The Epiphany (Three Kings or “Li%le Christmas”) as the end of the Christmas season. However, as we consider the fullness of the Incarnaon, we officially celebrate Christ coming to save all the naons, parcularly the Genles. This Sunday’s feast considers the same theme with an emphasis given to the point that Christ came to save the “Chosen People” ! the Jews. In fact, Jesus is now ready to begin His mission. His Father calls Jesus His Beloved Son and, by extension and our own Bapsm, we are being called “Beloved” also because we have accepted the Gospel as the way we will a%empt to lead our lives. ! ! Concluding the Christmas season at St. John’s comes with a long list of thank yous for all that was done by so many here who put forth so much effort to make our liturgies inspiring, our Church beauful, and our environment user!friendly. I would like to use names but one always runs the risk of “forge3ng one” and that is hur4ul, although not intenonal. Bearing that in mind, I simply wish to thank everyone who had anything to do with making Christmas Holy and Joyful, not only for the Lord, but for all who a%ended Mass here during our Holyday season. I also would like to thank everyone who was so though4ul to send Christmas greengs, presents, and the “never ending” plate of cookies and baked goods. They were very much appreciated but now we are wondering when the diet will begin (Ash Wednesday is a mere 37 days away! ( ☺ )! ! ! In reflecng on Christmas happenings at St. John’s, I got to thinking about how many people would know that a Christmas Pageant in three different languages was part of the liturgies. This year, we had our tradional rendion of the Christmas story by our children at the 4 PM Christmas Eve liturgy, while the Spanish had theirs at the 7 PM Christmas Eve Mass, and the Vietnamese had theirs at the 1:30 PM Mass on Christmas Day. All of them were well done but completely different in approach and costume which reflected one’s respecve culture.! ! ! As I ponder today’s Bapsm of the Lord, I got to thinking about Bapsm here at St. John’s. We do ask that the parents of the child a%end a bapsmal seminar that lasts for an hour. This gives us the opportunity to meet the family and they get to meet us. We are able to tell them how happy we are that they have chosen to have their child bapzed and are so willing to accept their primary role as the first teacher of their child in the ways of praccing the faith. And, we are so happy to help them with this as their child progresses in age and wisdom. With the advent of the weekly Vietnamese Mass at 1:30 PM on Sundays, we have changed the Bapsm mes to either aCer the 4 PM Mass on Saturdays or aCer the 9 AM Mass on Sundays. Occasionally, other mes can be accommodated if it is planned in advance knowing that people are coming from out of town for the Bapsm. It is a tradion of the Church that the baby have a Godfather and a Godmother. Their role is strictly to assist the parents in raising their child in the pracce of the faith in a Chrisan environment. One godparent must be a praccing Catholic who has received the Sacrament of Confirmaon. We explain all this to help parents, and soon!to!be parents, know what is expected. We hope to have many bapsms as 2015 unfolds. We love them and the babies!! ! ! ! ! ! God Bless You,! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! Father Buehler! ! Family Life ! ! The Gospel today points to Jesus’ human! ity. Like us, He needed RECOGNITION (“You are my Son”), AFFECTION (“My Beloved Son”), and AFFIRMATION (“With you I am well!pleased”). In our families, it is easy to focus on irrita/ng behaviors and take for granted all the posi/ves. This New Year, take a lesson from God the Father: be an AFFIRMER and not a BLAMER! ! ! ! ! !
