Epiphany

“God is rich in mercy . . .” Ephesians 2:4

L oving and faithful God, through the years the people of our archdiocese have appreciated the prayers and

love of Our Lady of Prompt Succor in times of war, disaster, epidemic and illness. We come to you, Father, with Mary our Mother, and ask you to help us in the battle of today

against violence, murder and racism.

We implore you to give us your wisdom that we may build a community founded on the values of Jesus, which gives respect to the

life and dignity of all people.

Bless parents that they may form their chil-dren in faith. Bless and protect our youth that they may be peacemakers of our time. Give consolation to those who have lost

loved ones through violence.

Hear our prayer and give us the persever-ance to be a voice for life and human dignity

in our community.

We ask this through Christ our Lord. Our Lady of Prompt Succor, hasten to help

us.

Mother Henriette Delille, pray for us that we

may be a holy family.

1. Angels, from the realms of glory,

Wing your flight o'er all the earth;

You who sang crea�on's story,

Now proclaim Messiah's birth:

Come and worship, come and worship,

Worship Christ, the newborn King.

2. Shepherds, in the fields abiding,

Watching o'er your flocks by night,

God on earth is now residing,

Yonder shines the infant light:



3. Sages, leave your contempla�ons,

Brighter visions beam afar;

Seek the great Desire of na�ons,

You have seen his morning star:



4. Though an infant now we view him,

He shall fill his heav'nly throne,

Gather all the na�ons to him;

Ev'ry knee shall then bow down:

Offertory Holy Is His Name

1. My soul proclaims

Divine Mercy Parish


the greatness of the Lord,

and my spirit

exalts in God my Savior.

For He has looked

with mercy on my lowliness,

and my name will be

forever exalted.

For the mighty God

has done great things for me,

and His mercy

will reach from age to age.

Refrain

And holy, holy;

Holy is His name.

2. He has mercy

in ev'ry genera�on,

He has revealed

His power and His glory.

He has cast down

the mighty in their arrogance,

and has li9ed up

the meek and the lowly.

He has come to help

His servant Israel,

He remembers

His promise to our fathers.

Los Reyes Magos

Estribillo

Los Reyes vienen de Oriente y van camino a Belén. Unamos nuestros caminos, busquemos a nuestro Rey, que lo han visto las estrellas nacer. 1. Busca siempre al niño; busca sin cesar.

Offertory What Child is This

1. What child is this, who, laid to rest, On Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; haste, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary. 2. Why lies he in such mean estate

Where ox and ass are feeding? Good Chris�an, fear; for sinners here The silent Word is pleading. This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing; haste, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the son of Mary. 3. So bring him incense, gold and myrrh, Come peasant, king to own him; The King of kings salva�on brings, Let loving hearts enthrone him.

Communion The First Nowell

1. The first Nowell, the angel did say, Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay; In fields where they lay keeping their sheep, On a cold winter's night that was so deep. Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel. 2. They looked up and saw a star Shining in the east, beyond them far, And to the earth it gave great light, And so it con�nued both day and night. Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel. 3. And by the light of that same star Three wise men came from country far; To seek for a king was their intent, And to follow the star wherever it went. Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel. 4. This star drew nigh to the northwest, O'er Bethlehem it took its rest;

And there it did both stop and stay, Right over the place where Jesus lay. Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel. 5. Then entered in those wise men three, Full rev'rently upon their knee, And offered there, in his presence, Their gold and myrrh and frankincense. Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Nowell, Born is the King of Israel. 6. Then let us all with one accord Sing praises to our heav'nly Lord; Who with the Father we adore And Spirit blest for evermore.

Come to Bethlehem and see Him whose birth the angels sing; Come adore, on bended knee, Christ, the Lord, the newborn King 4. See Him in a manger laid, Whom the choirs of angels praise; Mary Joseph lend your aid, While our hearts in love we raise. By: E. Barnes, J. Chadwick©Public Do-main. Used by permission.

We do not know much about the three wise men that visited the Holy Family in Bethlehem except that following a powerful urge, they left everything behind and travelled a great dis-tance, following a star so that they could pay hom-age to “the newborn king of the Jews.” Matt. 2:1 We too have that urge deep to find Jesus within us. We too must journey, but ours is an internal search, deep into our soul where He – the King of our hearts resides. When we find Him we present our greatest gift - the gift He desires most – ourselves. We go on bended knee, weak and sinful to the Healer, the Consoler, the Prince of Peace and our God. This is why He became human – to redeem His people. Jesus, here I am, be merciful to me, a sinner. In this great Year of Mercy may we welcome the Heart of Christ into our homes and hearts through the en-thronement of the Sacred Heart. For information please contact Anne-Marie d'Abadie at 443-2204 or email [email protected] (English), or Lynda Peña - 338-4306 (Spanish).

In today’s gospel (Matthew 2:1-12) we hear the story about when the magi visited the newborn Jesus. They traveled from the east, making time for their journey to visit the newborn king. One of the New Year resolutions from the “Pope Fran-cis list” (on a news website based in the Philippines in 2014) was to “make time for others.” The magi’s jour-ney to visit the Christ child exemplifies exactly how one can “make time for others,” whether it is family, friends, acquaintances, or strangers at school or work. At Divine Mercy Parish’s “Life Nights” (every Sunday 7:00-8:45pm in the parish hall for 9th-12th graders) and “Edge” program (every Tuesday 6:45-8:00pm in the trailer at the SEAS site for 6th-8th graders) the high school and middle school youth of our parish and their friends discuss ways we can “make time for oth-ers” in our own lives. Through games, skits, free food, and prayer we share about the difficulties and sin that one may encounter in society today. Come and join us! Call the youth minister, Ryan Foulon, at the parish of-fice for more information.

Epiphany


No sabemos mucho acerca de los tres reyes magos que visitaron la Sagrada Familia en Belén, excepto que después de un poderoso impulso, dejándolo todo atrás y viajaron una gran distancia, a raíz de una estrella para que pudieran rendir homenaje al "rey recién nacido del Judios. "Mat. 2: 1 Nosotros también tenemos esa necesidad profunda para encontrar a Jesús en nosotros. Nosotros también debe viajar, pero la nuestra es una búsqueda interna, profunda-mente en nuestra alma donde Él - el rey de nuestros cora-zones reside. Cuando nos encontramos con Él presen-tamos nuestro mayor regalo - el regalo que más desea - a nosotros mismos. Nos vamos de rodillas, débiles y pe-cadores al Sanador, el Consolador, el Príncipe de la Paz y nuestro Dios. Es por esto que Él se hizo humano - para redimir a su pueblo. Jesús, aquí estoy, ten Misericordia de mí, un pecador. En este gran año de la misericordia puede damos la bien-venida a Corazón de Cristo en nuestros hogares y cora-zones a través de la entronización del Sagrado Corazón.

En el evangelio de hoy (Mateo 2: 1-12) escuchamos la historia de cuando los Reyes Magos visitaron a Jesús recién nacido. Viajaron desde el este, haciendo tiempo para su viaje para visitar al rey recién nacido. Uno de los propósitos de Año Nuevo de la "lista de Fran-cisco" (en un sitio web de noticias con sede en Filipinas en 2014) fue la de "hacer tiempo para los demás." El vi-aje de Los magos de visitar al niño Jesús ejemplifica ex-actamente cómo se puede "hacer tiempo para otros, "si se trata de familiares, amigos, conocidos o desconocidos en la escuela o el trabajo. En la Parroquia de la Divina Misericordia "Vida Nights" (cada domingo 7: 00-8: 45pm en el salón par-roquial para los alumnos de 9º a 12º) y el programa de "Edge" (todos los martes de 6: 45-8: 00 pm en el trailer en el sitio de SEAS para los alumnos de 6º-8º) la escuela secundaria y jóvenes de secundaria de nuestra parroquia y sus amigos hablar sobre maneras en que podemos "hacer tiempo para los demás" en nuestras propias vidas. A través de juegos, obras de teatro, comida gratis, y la oración que compartimos acerca de las dificultades y el pecado que uno puede encontrar en la sociedad actu-al. ¡Ven y únete a nosotros! Llame al ministro de la ju-ventud, Ryan Foulon, en la oficina parroquial para más información.

Act of Spiritual Communion My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacrament. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. As though You have already come, I embrace You and unite myself en-tirely to You; never permit me to be separated from You.

Acto de Comunión Espiritual

Mi Jesús, yo creo que Tú estás en el Santísimo Sacramento. Yo te

amo por enci-ma de todas las cosas y yo Te deseo en mi alma. Como ahora no pue-do recibirte sacramental-mente, al me-

nos ven a mi corazón espiritual-mente. Como ya has venido, Yo te abrazo y me uno enteramente a Ti. Nunca permitas que me separe de ti.
