Reminder for Sunday, January 6, 2013, Epiphany C
Welcome: Catholic Mass with coffee & juice & specials on the house served afterwards.
Time: 9:30; Celebrate with the Community & Stack. Again, Welcome.
Place: Vines High School, 15th between Custer & Independence.
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.

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.
