nnual Pastoral Appeal (APA) – This week, we continue our educational efforts regarding APA. The Annual Pastoral Appeal helps fund and support a variety of ministries in the five counties that make up the Diocese of St. Petersburg. When we think of of the usual services offered by APA, we might call to mind the formation of our seminarians. Or we might think of the work of Catholic Charities and services to the poor. But a unique ministry that is supported by your generous APA contributions is our diocesan radio station – WBVM 90.5. WBVM shares the Good News of the Catholic Church in a unique and powerful way.There is no greater and far reaching tool for evangelization than our radio station.
This weekend, WBVM radio personalities John Morris and Abby Brundage will be speaking at our Masses about this great ministry. They will share with us how your gift to APA helps to support this vital and worthwhile ministry. (Deacon Elix will be speaking at the Spanish Masses about how APA funds the formation of our permanent deacons.) The 2016 APA assessment for Nativity Parish is over $470,000. In order to help reach this goal, I am asking that ALL families contribute to this appeal. Giving to APA is a winwin for our parishioners. It helps our parishioners and all our brothers and sisters throughout the five counties which make up the Diocese of St. Petersburg. And the closer we come to reaching our assessment, the more offertory contributions we are able to keep right here in our parish for our various ministries. The APA theme this year is “Open the Doors to Mercy.” It is based on Pope Francis’ announcement of a Year of Mercy. By making a sacrificial pledge to APA, you are helping to “Open the Doors to Mercy” for so many in our diocese and beyond. Please generous to this appeal and join me in praying for a successful response to the APA appeal.

ampaña Anual Pastoral (APA) Esta semana, continuamos nuestros esfuerzos educativos con respecto a APA. La Apelación Pastoral Anual ayuda a financiar y apoyar una variedad de ministerios en los cinco condados que componen la Diócesis de San Petersburgo. Cuando pensamos en los servicios habituales que ofrece APA, podríamos llamar a la mente la formación de nuestros seminaristas. O podríamos pensar en el trabajo de Caridades Católicas y servicios a los pobres. Sin embargo, un ministerio extraordinario que es apoyado por sus generosas contribuciones a APA es nuestra estación de radio diocesana WBVM 90.5. WBVM comparte la Buena Nueva de la Iglesia Católica de una manera única y poderosa. No hay una herramienta más poderosa y de mayor alcance para la evangelización que nuestra emisora. Este fin de semana, personalidades de la emisora WBVM, John Morris y Abby Brundage, estarán hablando en nuestras Misas de este gran ministerio. Ellos compartirán con nosotros cómo su regalo a APA ayuda a apoyar este ministerio vital y valioso. (El Deacon Elix hablará en las Misas en español sobre cómo APA finansea la formación de nuestros diáconos permanentes.) La evaluación del 2016 de APA para la Parroquia de Natividad es sobre $ 470.000. Con el fin de ayudar a alcanzar este objetivo, estoy pidiendo que todas las familias contribuyen a este llamamiento. Dar a APA es ganary volver a ganar para nuestros feligreses. Ayuda a nuestros feligreses y a todos nuestros hermanos y hermanas en los cinco condados que componen la Diócesis de San Petersburgo. Y cuanto más nos acercamos a llegar a nuestra evaluación, somos capaces de mantener más contribuciones del ofertorio aquí en nuestra parroquia para nuestros diversos ministerios. El tema de APA de este año es "Abrir las Puertas a La Misericordia." Se basa en el anuncio del Papa Francisco "del Año de la Misericordia. Al hacer una promesa de sacrificio a APA, usted está ayudando a "Abrir las Puertas a La Misericordia" para muchos en nuestra diócesis y más allá. Por favor, sea generoso a este llamamiento y únase a mí en oración para una exitosa respuesta a la apelación de APA.
Nativity Outreach Many thanks to the many parishioners, the Ministries of Nativity, Nativity Catholic School, and our volunteers for helping the Nativity Outreach Ministry to share the blessings of this past holiday season with our recipient families. Your generous gifts helped us to bless each of our guests with a bountiful Thanksgiving and a Blessed Christmas. Through your generosity we were able to provide fod for our Thanksgiving and Christmas recipients, a total of 254 families. Our volunteers handled 22,333 pounds of food for the two holiday distributions. In addition to all the groceries we distributed, we also distributed gift cards to purchase turkeys for Thanksgiving, envelopes from our “Family Gift Card Christmas Tree” and Christmas stockings which were made and distributed by the Women’s Guild. Your donated Christmas gift card envelopes from our “Family Gift Card Tree” enabled us to give an envelope to each of our Christmas family recipients ranging in family size from 1 to 8 for a total of 130 families along with their food distributions.

OPPORTUNITIES FOR STEWARDSHIP OF TIME, TALENT, AND TREASURE
This is such an overwhelming gift of personal entitlement for our recipient families. When you give this opportunity to a family in need, you give them far more than food or even money, you give them dignity and the freedom of choice. A heartfelt “thank you” to everyone who participated. Your response and generosity, as always, was overwhelming. We thank you on behalf of our grateful recipients.

In addition, our Food Pantry parents picked out toys for the 125 children under the age of 10 at our St. Nicholas’ Toy Shop. This, too, was a beautiful, blessed event. All our families left with bags of gifts for their children, and also with donated miscellaneous items for gift wrapping and tree/home decorations. Also, there were a few remaining toys which we were able to share with another Nativity Ministry which helps the many needy families at the local migrant camps. These children also benefitted from your generosity.

A special thank you is extended to our Students of Nativity Catholic School, their parents, our parishioners, and all who donated toys, gift cards, and numerous bicycles for the Toy Shop. The number of bicycles was spectacular. We appreciate the opportunity to present your donations to our Food Pantry guests. Thank you for allowing us the joy of giving on your behalf. Words cannot express our gratitude and theirs. This is being written on behalf of the volunteers of Nativity Outreach who partner with you in this blessed ministry. Without their energy and giving spirit your gifts would not be given, at least not with the Christfilled spirit that these volunteers bring to this ministry. We would like to take this opportunity to thank each and every one of our volunteers for all of their efforts throughout 2015. Their willingness to give of their time, talent and treasure year after year is greatly appreciated. Thank you for all you do, we could not do this work without your help. You are Nativity Outreach!

Neh 8: 26, 810; Ps 19: 810, 15; 1 Cor 12: 1230; Lk 1: 14; 4: 1421
We are one body, one body in Christ:
And we do not stand alone.
We are one body, one body in Christ; and He came that we might have life.”
That refrain above from the song written and sung by the Irish Catholic singer Dana echoes and reflects our Second Reading from St. Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians. In 1993 Pope St. John Paul II selected it as the theme of the World Youth Day in Colorado. It is, in effect, the message in our readings for this Third Sunday in Ordinary Time.
us, a part of that Body of Christ. It is important that we appreciate the perspective of Luke as we hear his Gospel in the coming year. Luke is interested in prayer; he is interested in “preaching the Good News.” Twentyfive times in his Gospel and in the Acts of the Apostles (also attributed to Luke) he mentions this; it is only mentioned once in the other three Gospels. Most of all, as we begin the accounts of Jesus through Luke’s eyes, we need to know how St. Luke embraced the idea of one Body in Christ. Being willing to do our part is important to stewardship. Dana’s song closes in this way, “For you are my body, you’re my hands and feet. Speak my word of life to everyone you meet.” We are called.
Mass Intentions | Jan 25th Jan 31st 7:00 am 8:00 am
7:00 am 8:00 am Our First Reading from the Book of Nehemiah presents us with 7:00 pm Ezra, Prophet, Priest, and Scribe. There are many things that unite us as a Catholic and Christian Community. One of those is the Word. That is the gist of this reading. We are presented with the image of Ezra standing before the multitude and reading the Word of God. A Prophet not only predicted the future but interpreted current events with authority. We, as one body in Christ, the body of the Church, need to recognize in the Word both prophecy and interpretation. Ezra is a perfect witness for us, as he combines prophecy (Prophet), holiness (Priest), and knowledge (Scribe) in one person. It is in the context of St. Paul’s remarkable letter to the Corinthians that we find the comparison of the Church to a body. Paul lays out for us the complete concept of what it means to be a steward of the Church and of everything we have and are. The Apostle Paul was the ultimate teacher, perhaps second only to our Lord and Savior Himself. As Paul explains it, the Body of Christ, the Body of the Church, is not a goal; it is a fact, a fact that we must completely grasp, appreciate, and practice.
7:00 am 8:15 am 7:00 am 8:00 am 7:00 am 8:30 am 7:00 pm 8:00 am 4:00 pm 4:00 pm
7:00 am 8:30 am 10:30 am 10:30 am 12:30 am Through Baptism we are called to be a part of the Body, and that 6:00 pm calling includes our willingness and preparation to play our role, our vocation, in relation to the entire Body. St. Paul, by using the comparison to a body, points out that there is great diversity in the Body of Christ, the Church. However, each part of the Body, each of us as a member, has a function within our common goal. For Paul diversity is not just acceptable; it is essential. Each of us has different gifts, but working together the Body itself is strong. Every part is necessary. Each of us is necessary for the Body, the Church, to function completely.

We look forward to new members throughout the year. this year the principal Gospel is Luke. Luke’s Gospel is unique in many ways. Most scholars believe that it was written after Matthew and Mark. In addition, Luke was most likely a Gentile, in fact the only New Testament Gentile writer. A companion of St. Paul, St. Luke presents himself differently as well. Twice in the first sentence of today’s Gospel reading Luke uses the pronoun “us,” a clear indication that he considered himself one with all of

Reflexión de las Escrituras Neh 8: 26, 810; Sal 19: 810, 15; 1 Cor 12: 12 hasta 30; Lc 1: 14;
"Somos uno cuerpo, un cuerpo en Cristo: Y no estamos parados solo. Somos uno cuerpo, un cuerpo en Cristo; y Él ha venido para que tengamos vida.” Las palabras arriba mencionadas de la canción escrita y cantada por el cantante Católico Irlandés Dana hacen eco de y reflejan nuestra Segunda Lectura de la Primera Carta de San Pablo a los Corintios. Es, en efecto, el mensaje en nuestras lecturas para este Tercer Domingo del tiempo ordinario. Nuestra Primera Lectura del Libro de Nehemías nos presenta a Ezra, Profeta, Sacerdote y Escriba. Hay muchas cosas que nos unen como una comunidad Católico y Christina. Una de ésas es la Palabra. Esa es la esencia de esta lectura. Se nos presenta la imagen de Ezra de pie delante de la multitud y leyendo la Palabra de Dios. Nosotros, como un solo cuerpo en Cristo, el cuerpo de la Iglesia, necesitamos reconocer en la Palabra la profecía y la interpretación. Es en el contexto de la carta notable de San Pablo a los Corintios encontramos la comparación de la Iglesia a un cuerpo. Pablo establece para nosotros el concepto completo de lo que significa ser un mayordomo de la Iglesia y de todo lo que tenemos y somos. El Apóstol Pablo fue el maestro definitivo, tal vez segundo solamente a nuestro Señor y Salvador mismo. Como lo explica San Pablo, el Cuerpo de Cristo, el Cuerpo de la Iglesia, no es una meta; es un hecho, un hecho que debemos captar por completo, apreciar y practicar, A través de Bautismo estamos llamados a ser una parte del Cuerpo, y ese llamado incluye nuestra buena voluntad y preparación para jugar nuestro papel, nuestra vocación, en relación a todo el Cuerpo. San Pablo, mediante el uso de la comparación a un cuerpo, señala que hay una gran diversidad en el Cuerpo de Cristo, la Iglesia. Sin embargo, cada parte del Cuerpo, cada uno de nosotros como un miembro, tiene una función dentro de nuestra meta común. Para Pablo diversidad no es solo aceptable, es esencial. Cada uno de nosotros tiene diferentes dones, pero trabajando juntos el Cuerpo es fuerte. Cada parte es necesaria. Cada uno de nosotros es necesario para el Cuerpo, la Iglesia, para funcionar completamente. Quizás saben que nuestras lecturas están divididas en tres Ciclos, A, B y C. En Ciclo A, el Evangelio primordial es Mateo. Ciclo B es primordialmente Marcos; y este año el Evangelio principal es Lucas. El Evangelio de Lucas es único por muchas razones. La mayoría de los eruditos creen que fue escrito después de Mateo y Marcos. Además, Lucas era probablemente un gentil, de hecho el único escritor del Nuevo Testamento gentil. Un compañero de San Pablo, San Lucas se presenta a sí mismo de manera diferente. Dos veces en la primera frase del Evangelio de hoy, Lucas usa el pronombre “nosotros,” una clara indicación que él se consideraba uno de nosotros, una parte de ese Cuerpo de Cristo. Es importante que apreciemos la perspectiva de Lucas al escuchar sus Evangelios este año. Él está interesado en la oración, en “predicar la Buena Nueva.” Veinticinco veces en su Evangelio y en los Hechos de los Apóstoles (también atribuido a Lucas) él menciona esto; que sólo se menciona una vez en los otros tres Evangelios. Más que nada, a medida que comenzamos a detallar los hechos de Jesús a través de ojos de Lucas, necesitamos saber cómo San Lucas abrazó la idea de un solo Cuerpo en Cristo. Estar dispuestos a hacer nuestra parte es importante para mayordomía. La canción de Dana cierra de esta manera, "Porque tú eres mi
