Spirituality and Aging Workshop
This Thursday & Friday, January 13-14
9:30-11:00 am - School Auditorium
Drawing on insights from important Catholic thinkers such as
Henri Nouwen, Teilhard de Chardin,
Ed Hayes, Joan Chittister and Pope Francis,
presenter Resa Pearson will explore the spirituality
of aging in a two part workshop. With the help of these spiritual guides
and using exercises to draw the ideas deeper, she will give us new ways
to think about the negative aspects of aging, as well as new ways to
appreciate and manifest the spiritual gifts that come with growing older.
Participants will explore how to do both in a way that moves them closer to Christ.

El Bautismo del Señor
Con la celebración del Bautismo del Señor se da por terminado el tiempo de Navidad.
El Bautismo de Jesús es como una nueva epifanía, es decir, una nueva manifestación
de Dios por medio de Jesús ahora en el Jordán. “El Espíritu Santo bajó sobre él y se
manifestó exteriormente en forma de paloma, y del cielo vino una voz: Tú eres mi Hijo,
hoy te he dado la vida” (Lucas 3,22). La revelación del Padre se manifiesta proclamando
a Jesús como su Hijo.
El Papa Francisco en una de sus catequesis lo muestra en tres puntos muy importantes
para todos los que hemos sido bautizados en Cristo Jesús: “Jesús quiso recibir el
bautismo predicado y administrado por Juan el Bautista en el Jordán. ¡Cuánta humildad
tiene Jesús! Y al hacerlo, manifestó lo que hemos celebrado en Navidad: sumergirse en el
rio de la humanidad”. Jesús, va con todo a lo que refiere la cuestión humana, menos en el
pecado. “El Evangelio subraya que Jesús, apenas salió del agua vio rasgarse los cielos y el
Espíritu que bajaba hacia él como una paloma. El Espíritu Santo desciende en plenitud
sobre Jesús para darle la fortaleza de cumplir su misión”. Por medio de nuestra vocación
es que tenemos nuestra misión en la vida. ¿Cómo la estamos cumpliendo? “La fiesta del
bautismo de Jesús invita a cada cristiano a recordar su bautismo”. ¿Sabes, o recuerdas la
fecha de tu bautismo? Hay que preguntar sobre ese día y de cómo se celebró la fiesta de
hacernos hijos e hijas de Dios. (Papa Francisco 1/7/2018).ay Chu
