January 2, 2022 The Epiphany of the Lord
Reflections from Deacons Isaac Oviedo and Mario Torres
Dear Parish Family
After six years of formation, study, and growth I am approaching the date when I will be ordained
a priest of Jesus Christ. When I realize the dignity of the priesthood and the challenges that lie
ahead it is easy to be discouraged. However, I know, and this is a conviction that I have had from
the first time I thought of becoming a priest, that my vocation is not my invention; rather, it is the
eternal design of God the Father who has prepared me and given me the grace to accept this invi-
tation to lend my humanity to Jesus Christ so he may continue his work of redemption here on earth. It is Jesus
Christ, God-incarnate, who I desire to serve.
In this small note I wanted to thank you for your spiritual and financial support. These months have been very fruit-
ful. I continue to prepare for my future ministry, especially learning how to hear confessions and say mass; but
what’s more important I continue growing in prayer and friendship with God. It is this friendship that is the center
of the life of every Christian and the secret to happiness here on earth and for all eternity. May the Virgin Mary pro-
tect you and make you experience the great love of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Teacher. Please pray for me, know of
my prayers for you .
In Christ,
Dcn. Isaac
Et Incarnatus Est De Spiritu Sancto Ex Maria Virgine
In this Christmas season we stop once again to contemplate one of the central events in our life
of faith, the Birth of our Lord Jesus Christ. The sun rising from above has come to illuminate
our human nature and has put its dwelling place amid its people. This event fills us with joy,
because the Eternal Word fully assumes our human nature to redeem us and bring us closer to
God the Father. For this reason, we can be filled with joy as we raise our gaze to Heaven, thank
God for his great gift in his Son Jesus Christ, our Lord.
Let us draw near to the simplicity and silence of Bethlehem! Let us contemplate the Mystery of God's Humility and
Love; but above all, let us allow ourselves to be contemplated by the eternal gaze of our dear Child Jesus, who to-
day wants to put his dwelling place in our lives. May our Mother, Mary Most Holy, intercede so that we may enter
the Mystery of the Emmanuel "God with us," and contemplate the Glory of God amid his people.
Furthermore, Christmas is the season to give thanks to God for all the benefits He has bestowed upon us in His Son
Jesus Christ. And, to thank those who have accompanied us on the journey of life. Thus, I would like to thank the
Lord for the Gift and the Mystery of our priestly vocation, and I thank you all for your prayers and generous assis-
tance in our priestly formation. It is my hope that upon my return to the Diocese, I can serve you as a priest. Please
continue to pray for me and my brother seminarians.
Fraternally, Rev. Mr. Mario Torres

2 de enero de 2022 Epifanía del Señor
Reflexiones de nuestro deacons Mario Torres & Isaac Oviedo
Et Incarnatus Est De Spiritu Sancto Ex Maria Virgine
En este tiempo de navidad nos detenemos una vez más para contemplar uno de los acontecimientos cen-
trales en nuestra vida de fe, el nacimiento de nuestro señor Jesucristo. El sol que nace de lo alto ha venido
a iluminar nuestra naturaleza humana y ha puesto su morada en medio de su pueblo. Este acontecimiento
nos llena de gozo, porque el Verbo Eterno asume plenamente nuestra naturaleza humana para redimirnos
y acércanos más íntimamente a Dios Padre. Esta es la razón por la cual, hoy podemos llenarnos de ale-
gría, y elevando nuestra mirada el cielo, agradecer a Dios por el gran don que nos ha dado en su Hijo
Jesucristo, nuestro Señor.
¡Acerquémonos a la sencillez y silencio de Belén! y contemplemos el misterio de la humildad y amor de Dios, pero sobretodo
dejémonos contemplar por la mirada eterna de aquel niño que hoy quiere poner su morada en nuestras vidas. Que nuestra Ma-
dre, María Santísima, interceda para que podamos adentrarnos al misterio del Emmanuel “Dios con nosotros”, y contemplar la
Gloria de Dios en medio de su pueblo.
Además, la Navidad es un tiempo para agradecer, en primer lugar, a Dios por todos los beneficios que nos ha concedido en su
hijo Jesucristo. Y agradecer también, a todos aquellos que nos acompañan en el camino de la vida. Por ello, agradezco al Señor
por el Don y el Misterio de la vocación sacerdotal, y les agradezco a ustedes por sus oraciones y ayuda generosa en favor de
nuestra formación sacerdotal. Tengo la esperanza de poder regresar a la Diócesis en un tiempo cercano, y servirles como sacer-
dote. Por ello me sigo encomendando a su oración.
Fraternalmente
Rev. Mr. Mario Torres
Querida familia parroquial
Después de casi seis años de formación, de estudios y preparación me estoy acercando final-
mente a la fecha en la que seré ordenado sacerdote de Jesucristo. Cuando veo la gran dignidad
del sacerdocio, y cuando me doy cuenta de los retos que me presenta el futuro como sacerdote
católico, a veces me desanimo. Sin embargo, me doy cuenta de que mi vocación no es de ori-
gen humano. No ha comenzado en mí, ha nacido en un designo eterno del Padre que desde toda
la eternidad me ha llamado y preparado para responder a su invitación de prestarle mi humani-
dad para que Cristo continue su misión redentora. Es a ese Dios, a Jesucristo, Dios encarnado, a
quien deseo servir como sacerdote.
En esta pequeña nota les quiero agradecer su apoyo espiritual y económico. Estos meses han sido de gran prove-
cho; continúo aprendiendo como administrar los sacramentos, en particular como escuchar confesiones y como
celebrar la misa; pero lo que es aún más importante, continúo creciendo en oración y en amistad con Dios. Esa
amistad es el centro de la vida de todo cristiano y es el secreto de la felicidad aquí y para siempre. Que la Virgen
María los proteja y les haga experimentar el gran amor de Jesucristo, el Maestro y el Señor. Por favor recen por
mí, rezo por ustedes.
En Cristo,
Dcn. Isaac Oviedo
