True?

 

When we come to it,

We must confess that we are the possible…

We are the miraculous, the true wonders of this world,

Free to choose our ends and our new beginnings.

That is when and only when…

We come to it.

Our Angels

 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.
