 Readings:

Isaiah  60, 1-6, Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem,  Your light has come.

Psalm 72,  Lord, every nation on earth will adore you.

Ephesians  3, 2-6, The Gentiles are coheirs.

Matthew 2, 1-12, Magi from the east arrived.

 For those who don’t have a decent Bible or a book of the readings, here are two links that I use, The Bible at Your Fingertips and USCCB, The New American Bible. 

The difference?  The second is officially Catholic and has the 12 little books in between the O.T. & N.T., called Deuterocanonical or Apocrypha. 

Both are good translations.  I use the first more often because it has fewer doors to pass through to get to the text.  Thanks, Gerald, for this idea.  I will include the link from now on.

 

 Community Bulletin Board:

1.  This Sunday: Celebrate the First Sunday of The Year 2013.

2.  January 24, Thursday night, 8:00, Collin County Homeless Coalition is having their annual census of homeless.  We will have a sign up sheet at Mass.  Last year we had two teams of about 5 each.

All paths are the same: they lead nowhere. They are paths going through the bush, or into the bush. In my own life I could say I have traversed long, long paths but I am not anywhere. My benefactor's question has meaning now. Does this path have a heart? If it does, the path is good; if it doesn't, it is of no use. Both paths lead nowhere, but one has a heart, the other doesn't. One makes for a joyful journey; as long as you follow it, you are one with it. The other will make you curse your life. One makes you stronger; the other weakens you.

Connected with this, a plan is developing to visit the Christmas lights in Hightland Park on bikes one evening, a common event.  We have our guide, Chris Phipps, who lives there, and the old geezer can second, since this is his old neighborhood.  Get your bike lights polished.
