CALLED TO SERVE The status of God’s beloved Son is not one he clings to. It is one he shares. All of us are called to be sons and daughters of God. In Jesus, we can all claim God’s favor. The second reading makes this clear. Here we read of the baptism of Cornelius and his household. Peter’s speech recalls the anointing of Jesus by the Holy Spirit and the great power that swept through Israel and onto the doorstep of the Gentile Cornelius. As for his household, so for us. There is an end to our work on earth, to our baptismal vocation and the honorable work we do. But there is no end to the saving life given to us through baptism. There is no end to the life of the children of God; there is no end to God’s compassion, which we know in Christ Jesus. There is no end to our status as chosen and beloved people of God. Because of Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection, we are forever among those on whom God’s favor rests. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

HIJOS E HIJAS DE DIOS Ser el Hijo amado de Dios no es una condición a la que está apegado. Es una que comparte con no-sotros.Todos nosotros estamos llamados a ser hijos e hijas de Dios. En Jesús, todos podemos reclamar la predilección de Dios. La segunda lectura aclara esto. Aquí leemos sobre el bautizo de Cornelio y los miembros de su casa. El discurso de Pedro recuenta la unción de Jesús por el Espíritu Santo y el gran poder que se esparció por Israel hasta la puerta de uno de los gentiles, Cornelio. Lo mismo que sucedió a su casa, nos sucede a nosotros. Nuestro trabajo en la tierra, nuestra vocación bautismal y la tarea honor-able que realizamos tendrá su fin. Lo que no tiene fin es la vida de salvación que recibimos con el Bautis-mo. No hay fin a la vida de los hijos de Dios; no hay fin a la compasión de Dios que conocemos en Jesús. No hay fin a nuestra posición como pueblo elegido y amado por Dios. A causa de la vida, muerte y resurrección de Jesús, siempre estaremos entre los predilectos de Dios. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

CELEBRATION of the SANTO NINO

Most Rev. Bishop Oscar A. Solis, DD and local priests will come together to celebrate the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass at 7:00pm. The Novena prayers and Chaplet will follow the mass.

We are privileged to have an exact replica of the Infant Jesus of Prague (Santo Nino) clothed in a relic of the Holy Robe that adorns the original statute in the shrine at Prague.

Please bring your own statutes. The devotion of touching them to the Holy Robe will conclude the celebration. This is a privilege not enjoyed in the shrine in Prague because the statute is enshrined high above a side altar. At St. Catherine Laboure, 3846 Redondo Beach Blvd. Torrance, CA 90504, 310 323-8900

When: January 31, 2014 (Friday), Mass: 7:00pm We hope you will join us in this Glorious Celebration of the Santo Nino!
