 From The Pastor’s Desk
Dear Parish Family,
Peace and all good! Peace on earth to all people of good
will!
On behalf of all of the Franciscan friars here at
Mission San Luis Rey, the incredibly hardworking and
dedicated staff at our parish, our parish school (Old
Mission Montessori) and religious education programs—
and on behalf of all of the extraordinary members of our
parish family who so consistently dedicate their time,
talents, and treasure to our community through so many
projects and ministries—we wish you, each and every one,
a Season filled with Christ’s Peace, Blessing, Joy, and Hope.
Thinking about Christmas this year, I am reminded of an
experience I had attending a children’s Christmas Mass in
Ohio a number of years ago. The bishop of the diocese
where I was visiting had invited children from throughout
the area to attend. The atmosphere in the cathedral was
wonderfully chaotic, as you can imagine, with everyone
from toddlers to teens packed in and bubbling with
enthusiasm. The liturgy went well—very well. And at the
conclusion, the bishop, overwhelmed with excitement
and emotion, blurted out: “You know, Christmas is such a
wonderful holiday, we should celebrate it every single year!
--- Err…. I mean, we should celebrate it every single day!”
Too late; the cat was out of the bag. The congregation
roared. And the poor bishop blushed, smiled and just
shrugged his shoulders good-naturedly. Aw c’mon, you
know what I mean!
The bishop’s intended point was well taken, of course.
Christmas is such a wonderful holiday that we should
Youth Ministry Leadership Team at
San Luis Rey Parish
Dear Parish Family,
Youth Ministry at our parish has a new team of leaders.
Six were elected from the Youth Core Team and six adults
were invited from the parish family to act as mentors. At
our first meeting last week, Maui Pasefika was elected to
chair this new Leadership Team and Adriana Rodriguez was
chosen as secretary. Congratulations to both of these young
women! Please keep them in your prayers.
Serving on the Youth Ministry Team are: Maui Pasefika,
Adriana Rodriguez, Elizabeth Olozagaste, Valerie Torres, Juan
Gomez, Margie Arguello, Byron Leonard, Diana Estrada,
Katie Moorman, John Arguello, Susan McGuirk, and Carol
Sussman. Pat Sheehan will act as facilitator to the Team and
Fr. Adrian will be the liaison with the Pastoral Staff.
This is a new departure for Youth Ministry at our parish
and the team approach is one that is being adopted more
and more around the diocese of San Diego. Young people

celebrate it every single day. We would all agree with the
ideal, but many people have problems celebrating
Christmas for even one whole day, never mind every
single one. All this hype, all this buildup of expectations for
a single 24-hour period during which everyone is supposed
to experience the perfection of joy and peace on cue. Of
course, the expectation is impossible to fulfill.
That does not tarnish or diminish the ideal—our ideal as
Christians—one little bit. Media hype and clichés aside, we
are called—at, in, and through Christmas—to enter more
deeply into the incredible mystery of the Incarnation. A
mystery which cannot be confined to a single day, but
necessarily spreads itself out, permeating and percolating
through every moment of our graced existence. Christ, our
Emmanuel—our “God with us” is really with us. And
always will be. The feasts of the Church during these great
and holy “holidays’ calls us to a deeper awareness of that
loving and sustaining Presence: the birth of Jesus in
Bethlehem, the commemoration of the first martyrs of the
Christian faith (Stephen and the Holy Innocents), the
celebration of the Holy Family, the Solemnity of Mary, the
Mother of God-- and the culminating commemoration of
the Baptism of the Lord.
Christ Incarnate is indeed the Reason for the
Season—this and every single day and every single season
of our lives.
Merry Christmas!
Fr. Chuck
will be empowered to run their own youth ministry pro-
gramSan Luis Rey with mentoring and support from adults.
The key word is empowerment and the team’s job will be to
keep the program on track and provide leadership for those
who wish to join our Youth Core Team and parish teens.
Engaging our young people and building their faith is a
priority in our parish. Excellent work is already done in the
various programs – Youth RCIA and Religious Education,
Altar Servers, the Parish School, and the Youth Ministry Core
Team which meets on Thursday evenings. We hope to build
on all the good work of the past and to move forward with
an exciting program of events for our youth in 2011. We
count on your encouragement and support and we thank
you for your prayers and good wishes as we launch this new
venture with our young people.

Catechetical Minute
Multiculturalism at the Crèche
January 2, 2011 by Bill Bischoff
The term Magi refers to the unknown wise
men who followed a star until it led them to
Bethlehem (Matthew 2:1-12). While in Luke’s
gospel shepherds come to worship the child,
Matthew’s gospel also tells of the three gifts
they brought. This has given rise to the
tradition there were three, although the eastern Christian
tradition gives their number as twelve. Originally, they were
often pictured as astrologers. But since the early Middle Ages,
kings became more the common image what with the various
regal Old Testament texts and the fact that they seem to
speak with King Herod as an equal.
Because the Venerable Bede considered them
representatives of the three continents of Europe, Africa and
Asia, we often see them as racially white, yellow, and black.
About them colorful stories have grown. Bede states their
names were: Melchior, Gaspar and Baltasar. Melchior was a
long-bearded, white haired old man who brought Jesus gold to
signify his royalty. Gaspar was a beardless, red faced young
man who brought incense to Jesus, signifying His divinity.
Baltasar was a heavy bearded black man who brought myrrh
to Jesus, signifying His humanity and death.
About their lives after leaving that day, Scripture says
nothing. However, never has a loss, legend has filled the
space. Many years after Christmas, Saint Thomas the
Apostle visited the Magi. After catechizing them, he initiated
them into the Christian faith. They were ordained priests and
later bishops. Toward the end of their lives, the
Christmas star visited them again, this time leading them to
one another for a reunion. The city of Sewa in the Orient is
said to be the place of their burial.
According to Medieval legend, in the sixth century, their
venerable relics were brought from Constantinople to
Milan. From there in 1164, Emperor Fredrick Barbarossa, took
them to Cologne, where pilgrimages have honored them for
centuries.
In our time however, the emphasis and symbolism has
changed. In the United States, the solemnity of the
Epiphany of the Lord marks the beginning of the National
Migration Week. The Magi were on the move, pilgrims
following a star. In the face of Herod’s fury, Joseph, Mary and
Jesus would become refugees, fleeing into Egypt. The United
States Catholic Conference of Bishops offers us suggestions for
raising our awareness and understanding of the plight of
migrants, and refugees (www.usccb.org/mrs).
Here at the community of Mission San Luis Rey we can
identify with these “Wise men” as each of us come to the
Crèche bringing with ourselves the riches of each of our
cultures as gifts, for the Christ Child, for themselves, and for
the parish community of Mission San Luis Rey. Perhaps one of
the greatest lessons of this ancient solemnity is the realization
that each of us has a gift to leave before the newborn king.

BOOK OF THE WEEK:
The God of Second Chances:
Stories of Lives Transformed by Faith
by Marcia Nelson
By offering intimate glimpses into the lives of people whose
faith has transformed their outlook and circumstances, the
God of Second Chances helps us recognize God’s saving
grace. Marcia Nelson introduces us to women and men who
have fought drug and alcohol addiction, traded crime for
caring, converted loss and illness into compassion and turned
despair into joy. In meeting these people and in sharing in
Nelson’s own journey of faith, we encounter what is best
about us and also most human---the ability to make
mistakes, make amends and make good. Along the way, we
encounter the God who never gives up on us.
“In this age where failure and faults are viewed with
disdain, these stories proclaim the power of transformation
and the ability to turn one’s life around — and they do so
without preaching or pious prattle. . . If you ever doubted
that God gives us a second chance, read this book!”

Stewardship Message
The image of the Magi kneeling before the infant Jesus
and opening their treasure chests for Him is an image that
we should all try to embrace. Each of us is called to open our
gifts before Jesus, offering Him what He needs. We can re-
member that we are called to share our gifts by keeping one
of the Magi from our Nativity set on our desk or dresser as a
year-round a reminder to bring our gifts to Jesus.
LIGHT OF THE WORLD
Epiphany can be understood as an extension
of the Nativity of the Lord that we celebrate on
December 25. While at Christmas we celebrate
Jesus' coming as the long-awaited king and
Messiah of the Jewish people, on Epiphany we celebrate the
revelation that Jesus is the Savior and Light of all nations--
Jews, Gentiles, and all people.
The star shines so brightly that it attracts magi who come
from far distant countries to worship Jesus. They are not
Jews, yet they are drawn to the Light of the World. The letter
to the Ephesians reveals that the Light of the World was for
the Gentiles as well as the Jews--Christ gathers all people into
the light of his love. The reading from Isaiah also describes a
gathering of diverse peoples, but this time it is to the light
that emanates from the people of God.

NOTA CATEQUETICA
Domingo, 2 de enero del 2011
Por Bill Bischoff
El Multiculturalismo En El Pesebre
El término Mago se refiere a
los hombres sabios que siguie-
ron una estrella la cual les llevó
a Belén (Mateo 2:1-12). En el
evangelio de Lucas los pastores
vienen a adorar al niño. El
evangelio de Mateo también
nos relata sobre los tres rega-
los que los hombres sabios te trajeron. Esto ha dado lugar a
la tradición de que eran tres sabios, aún cuando la tradición
Cristiana del este nos dice que eran doce. Originalmente
éstos eran descritos como astrólogos pero desde temprano
en la Edad Media, la imagen de los reyes se hizo más común,
al igual que en varios textos del Viejo Testamento y por el
hecho de que, aparentemente, ellos hablaban con el Rey
Herodes como si fueran iguales a él.
Toda vez que Bede, el Venerable, los consideraba como
representantes de los tres continentes, de Europa, de Africa
y de Asia, corrientemente les vemos como de razas blanca,
amarilla y negra. Muchos cuentos han surgido sobre ellos.
Bede dice que sus nombres eran: Melchor, Gaspar y Baltasar.
Melchor tenía una barba larga blanca y era un hombre viejo
que le trajo oro a Jesús lo cual es símbolo de realeza. Gaspar
no tenía barba, de cara rosada y joven que le trajo incienso a
Jesús lo cual significa su divinidad. Baltasar era un hombre
negro de barba espesa que le trajo mirra a Jesús, que signifi-
ca su humanidad y su muerte.
Las Escrituras no mencionan lo sucedido en las vidas de los
hombres sabios una vez que se fueron. Solo sus leyendas han
llenado ese espacio. Se dice que muchos años después de la
Navidad, El Apóstol Santo Tomás visitó a los magos, después
de darles catecismo los inició en la fe Cristiana. Ellos fueron
ordenados sacerdotes y más tarde, obispos. Al final de sus
vidas, la estrella de Navidad los visitó de nuevo, esta vez
guiándolos a reunirse los tres. Se dice que ellos fueron sepul-
tados en la ciudad de Sewa en el Oriente.
De acuerdo a la leyenda Medieval, en el siglo sexto sus
reliquias venerables fueron traídas de Constantinopla a Mila-
no y de allí en el 1164 el Emperador Fredrick Barbarossa, las
llevó a Cologne donde los peregrinos las han honrado por los
siglos.
En nuestro tiempo el énfasis y el simbolismo ha cambiado.
En los Estados Unidos la solemnidad de la Epifanía del Señor
marca el comienzo de la Semana Nacional de Migración. Los
Magos estaban moviéndose, peregrinos que seguían una
estrella y frente a la furia de Herodes, José, María y Jesús
serían refugiados, huyendo a Egipto.
Continua en la columna siguiente...
Continuación…
La Conferencia Católica de Obispos de Estados Unidos nos
ofrece sugerencias para elevar nuestro conocimiento y poder
entender la situación tan difícil de los migrantes y de los refu-
giados. (www.usccb.org/mrs).
Aquí en la comunidad de San Luis Rey, nosotros nos podemos
identificar con estos “Hombres Sabios” al cada uno de noso-
tros acercarnos al Pesebre trayendo con nosotros las rique-
zas de cada una de las culturas como regalos, para el Niño
Cristo, para ellos mismos, y para la comunidad de la Parro-
quia Misión San Luis Rey. Posiblemente una de las lecciones
más grandes de esta solemnidad antigua es la realización de
que cada uno de nosotros tiene un regalo para dejar ante
nuestro Rey Recién Nacido.

 KINGLY GIFTS
This day in many parts of the world is called
Three Kings Day because of today's Gospel read-
ing about the visit of the three kings or magi to
see the child Jesus. The church's name for the
day, Epiphany, is based on a Greek word that
means "to reveal" or "make visible." Here, the
child Jesus is honored not by his own people--
and certainly not King Herod--but by strangers
from afar. Only Matthew's Gospel tells their
story. There are not many details about the
magi, but pious legends have built up around
them over the centuries. A modern version is
the operetta Amahl and the Night Visitors,
which used to be seen on television at this time
of year. The Jewish hope for centuries had been REGALOS REALES
that a Messiah, God's Anointed One, would be
