Music Notes
Pastor’s Notes
JESUS IS LORD!
Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
On this Feast of the Epiphany, we celebrate a decisive
moment in God’s plan of salvation: the revelation of his
Son to the Gentiles. From that moment, the privileges
reserved for the chosen people were made available to
everyone. Through that God –ordained star, the light of
Christ shone for all the world to see.
The magi saw that star from their distant lands, and their
hearts were so stirred with anticipation that they set off
immediately to follow it. And at the end of their journey,
they found the manifestation of God in a human baby.
Not only were the magi moved to give him expensive
gifts, they immediately worshipped Jesus. Thus began
the wondrous procession of people from every land to the
throne of God. Now, all nations could be drawn to the
light of a King who rules in love and righteousness.
This is how deeply God longs to draw all people to himself. He didn’t wait for word of mouth or early Christian
evangelization to spread the good news beyond the
boundaries of Palestine. Instead, he set a sign in the
heavens that caught the attention of wise men from far
away, representatives of all the nations that had yet to
know of the love and mercy of God. How like the Lord
to call out to his people! Even today, he draws each of us
back to him in subtle, and sometime not-so-subtle ways.
As we come before God at Mass today, we too are being
invited out of the “distant land” of life in this world and
into Jesus’ heavenly kingdom. Our hearts can be stirred
as we seize the opportunity to love and adore Jesus. From
all time, God has called you to share in his life. Make
sure you open your heart to him and respond to the invitation he is offering.
Let us pray: “Jesus, I give you my heart in worship and
adoration. You are my King, and in you I find love, justice, and righteousness. I will follow your light in my
heart. I will acknowledge your kingship in all that I do.
Amen.”
In Jesus and Mary,
Father Jeff Kegley
Pastor

St. Raphael-Holy Angels Food Pantry
With the winter months upon us, we expect an increasing number of individuals and families
to visit our pantry to seek food assistance. As always,
we ask for your continued support so that we can meet
the needs of our neighbors. Just one can of soup can
make a meal for an individual; a box of pasta and a
jar of sauce can make a meal for a family, so with just
a small donation, you can make a positive difference.
Upcoming “Reach Out Saturdays” are on
Saturday, Jan. 21st & Feb. 4th from 9 to 11am.
All types of non-perishable food items are always
needed, and can be placed in the designated bins that
are located at the church entrances (both church locations). Perishable items can be brought to the pantry
on “Reach Out Saturdays” between 9am and 11am.
Monetary donations are also appreciated and
may be deposited in the marked boxes inside St. Raphael Church.

"We Must Open Ourselves to the Truth"
Dear Brothers and Sisters!
Holy Angels Altar Candle this week…
In memory of Nancy Stolz
Requested by Sister
Please note that flower offerings will
resume the week of January 7th 2006.
On this first day of the year, the Church contemplates
the heavenly Mother of God, who holds in her arms
the Child Jesus, source of all blessings. "Hail, holy
Mother, you have given birth to the King who rules
heaven and earth for ever and ever."
The announcement of the angels in Bethlehem echoed in Mary's maternal heart, filling it with wonder:
"Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace
among men with whom he is pleased!" (Luke 2:14).
And the Gospel adds that Mary "kept all these things,
pondering them in her heart" (Luke 2:19). Like her,
the Church also keeps and meditates on the Word of
God, applying it with the different and changing situations she finds on her way.
Contemplating Christ, who came on earth to give us
peace, we celebrate with the new year the World Day
of Peace, which began by decision of Pope Paul VI
thirty-eight years ago. In my first message on this
occasion, I wanted to take up this year a constant
theme in the magisterium of my venerated predecessors, beginning with the memorable encyclical of
Blessed Pope John XXIII, "Pacem in Terris": the
theme of truth as the foundation of authentic peace:
"In Truth, Peace" is the motto that I present for the
reflection of every person of good will.
When man allows himself to be illuminated by the
splendor of truth, he becomes interiorly a courageous
architect of peace. The liturgical time we are living
gives us a great lesson: To welcome the gift of peace
we must open ourselves to the truth that has been
revealed in the person of Jesus, who taught us the
"content" and at the same time the "method" of
peace, that is, love.
God, in fact, who is perfect and subsistent love, revealed himself in Jesus, assuming our human condition. In this way he has also indicated to us the way
of peace: dialogue, forgiveness, solidarity. This is the
only way that leads to authentic peace.
Let us turn our gaze to Mary Most Holy, who today
blesses the whole world showing her divine Son, the
"Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:5). With trust, let us invoke her powerful intercession so that the human
family, by opening itself to the evangelical message,

the "content" and at the same time the "method" of
peace, that is, love.
God, in fact, who is perfect and subsistent love, revealed
himself in Jesus, assuming our human condition. In this
way he has also indicated to us the way of peace: dialogue, forgiveness, solidarity. This is the only way that
leads to authentic peace.
Let us turn our gaze to Mary Most Holy, who today
blesses the whole world showing her divine Son, the
"Prince of Peace" (Isaiah 9:5). With trust, let us invoke her
powerful intercession so that the human family, by opening itself to the evangelical message, might spend the
year which begins today in fraternity and peace. With
these sentiments I express to all of you here present, and
to all those who are united to us through radio and television, my most cordial wishes for peace and goodness."
[The Holy Father then greeted pilgrims in several languages. In English, he said:]
I greet all the English-speaking visitors present at today's
Angelus, and in particular the many Pueri Cantores,
whom I thank for their beautiful signing at this morning's
Mass in St. Peter's Basilica. I wish all of you a New Year
full of joy and consolation of our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ! Through the intercession of his Blessed Mother,
Mary, may Christians everywhere have the courage to be
promoters of forgiveness, reconciliation and peace!

SPIRITUAL ADOPTION PROGRAM ANNOUNCEMENT
NEW JERSEY RIGHT TO LIFE
Is “It” a Baby? (Life 1-Number 3)-
We celebrate the Incarnation at Christmas
recognizing Jesus’ birth. We celebrate the
Annunciation of His birth each year just 9
months before Christmas on March 25th.
When did He become a baby? Was it on Christmas
Day or the Annunciation? Abortionist advocates
tried for years to convince us that the baby in the
womb was not a baby and they tell pregnant women
that “it” is not a baby. Why lie? They favor the use
of “fetus” as if “it” is not a baby because even after
40 million abortions, they know that a mother and
father abhor killing a baby. The word of God, Jesus,
because a baby in Mary’s womb as her egg was mysteriously fertilized by the Holy Spirit and Mary’s
baby, Jesus, grew as do all babies ,in her womb until
Christmas when He became visible to all. We learn
this in our faith but it is truth of science that the result of the mother’s egg being fertilized is a new
baby. The Jesus we welcome at Christmas was alive
for 9 months inside Mary, just as you and I were in
our mother’s before our own incarnations. We also
honor the Holy Innocents at this time of the year remembering those tiny babies put to death by Herod
who sought to eliminate Jesus. Our world needs to
seek forgiveness for all the holy innocents put to
death since 1973.
For more on the New Jersey Right to Life visit us @
http://njrtl.org/default.asp
Are we trusting enough in God’s care ?
Every pregnancy and birth is a risk. Who
knows what lies ahead in the future for
mother or father or child ? Sickness, death,
unemployment ? We cannot fully predict
these things. While using all our human ingenuity to plan a family, on occasions we must
simply leave the rest in the hands of God.
[Taken from “ Together For Life ”
by Joseph M. Champlin]
Three Months
What a miracle your spiritually adopted baby is ! If
her mother’s womb had a window, you could see her
squint, swallow, and move her tongue. If her palm is
touched, she will respond by making a fist. Pray that
the Lord of Life moves the heart of her mother to
give her the most precious gift of all– the gift of life.
Please pray daily the Prayer of Bishop Fulton Sheen:
Jesus, Mary and Joseph,
I love you very much.
I beg you to spare the life
Of the unborn child that
I have spiritually adopted
Who is in danger of abortion.
Amen
On behalf of all the unborn babies who cannot speak
for themselves, thank you to all those who agreed to
participate in the spiritual adoption program.
