Bilot A Blessed and Joyous New Year! As we embark on this New Year, we should take this opportunity to reflect on the previous year to see how the love of God unfolded in our lives. We always seem to be preoccupied with the stuff of life and may miss how God is present to us. When the Wise Men looked up and saw the star, it intrigued them. They started to remember the words of the Prophets about a Messiah to be born. They searched, travelled and prayed and, with persistence, arrived in Bethlehem. To their amazement, they found the Christ Child! In gratitude, they bestowed gifts on the King of Kings, which represented their admiration and profound love for the Lord. And, to think that if they never looked up, and if they didn’t reflect on the Scriptures, they would never have found their hearts desire! We, too, need to look up from what we are doing and gaze toward our God, the giver of all life. We turn toward God when we do what the Wise Men did. They wanted to know who the Christ Child was and wanted to experience his presence in their lives. And, so should we! In this New Year, I pray that we may prioritize our lives so that they are ordered toward God and not the world. What spiritual reading could we embark on to learn more about our faith and our spiritual relationship with the Lord? What time each day will we “fall on our knees” in prayer to the Lord, just sharing our life and its experiences, trusting that God will guide us to the Light? In what way will we reach out to others, especially in our own neighborhood, so that we may build bridges of hope? What do each of us need to do to fall deeper in love with the Holy Eucharist? There are some great books that help us enter into the mystery of the Eucharist. Author Scott Hahn, a convert to the faith, has written excellent books on our faith and the Sacraments. We also have our DC Book Club that meets once a month. The next gathering is Tuesday, January 13 at 7:00 PM. And, don’t forget our Faith Formation Nights! We have a guest speaker coming from California on Sunday evening, January 25, to share his ideas about faith and happiness. Please see the Infant for details. We have so many ways to help us look up and search for deeper meaning into our faith. Please come and partake. Feed from the manger of our Lord here at Church of the Divine Child! As we continue to appreciate all that the Lord has given to us, I once again want to thank everyone for their generosity in giving during this holy time of the year. The food and gifts for needy families, coats/hats/gloves and Page 3 monetary donations were certainly very much appreciated. Many tears were shed as we helped those families who needed some assistance this year. In fact, last year, we helped a family in need and, this year, they are doing better so they gave to help others. What a blessing! Finally, I want to thank everyone for your generosity to us priests. The delicious goodies, cards and gifts are also such a blessing. We sincerely thank you! In Gratitude, Fr. Jim Bilot When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod, behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying, “Where is the newborn king of the Jews? We saw his star at its rising and have come to do him homage.” -Mt 2:1-2 Page 4 Church of the Divine Child, Dearborn, Michigan Fr. John Kopson’s Commentary O COME LET US ADORE HIM! January 8: Holy Hour for Persecuted Christians At 7:00 p.m. on Thursday January 8, we will be having a Holy Hour of Adoration before the Blessed Sacrament for persecuted Christians (including those who are being persecuted by ISIS-ISIL in Iraq and Syria) in the Church. Near the end of the Holy Hour we will hear a short testimonial from an Iraqi Catholic who has had first-hand experience with the persecutions that are taking place in Iraq at the hands of ISIS. During this Holy Hour of Adoration we will be praying for the persecuted Christians in Iraq, but we will of course also be praying for everyone who is being persecuted in the world today. As many of you saw on the news this past December, four Christian children in Iraq (all who were under the age of fifteen) were beheaded by ISIS for not denouncing the Name of Jesus Christ. These four brave young martyrs chose to die rather than denounce the Name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Before they were murdered it was reported that these four brave children stated to ISIS that, “we love Yeshua [Jesus], we have always loved Yeshua.” Now let us show our love for Jesus and for our persecuted brothers and sisters by attending the Holy Hour on January 8th here at the Church of the Divine Child! After the Holy Hour we will have the opportunity to learn more about what is going on in Iraq and have some refreshments with some of our Chaldean Catholic brothers and sisters in the gathering space. Prayer is powerful…especially prayer before our Lord Jesus in the Eucharist. Our prayers will help those who are being persecuted throughout the world. Please be a part of this community prayer for those who need it the most! Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament “It was not until 1973, when we began our daily Holy Hour that our community started to grow and blossom.” ~Blessed Mother Teresa of Calcutta Please visit our Lord in our chapel any day or time or come to Tuesday Exposition in the church from 9am to 7pm.

Many thanks for all the donations made to our Christmas Food Baskets. We were able to help 40 families plus donate to 4 parishes that have food pantries. Everyone was very appreciative of the spirit of giving that Divine Child pours out each year. Also, thanks to the grade school children who made Christmas cards to add to the baskets. Special thanks to all the workers who helped on Saturday and Sunday so this event could take place in an orderly and timely fashion. What a great way to prepare for Our Saviors Birth! Divine Child Christian Service ! The Epiphany of the Lord "They departed for their country by another way." Things were different now. An encounter with the baby Jesus changed the Magi. Before finding the child, they had made a secret alliance with a worldly king, Herod. But after seeing this infant resting in the arms of Mary, their allegiance shifted. Now they became servants of the little Lord Jesus. They had a kind of conversion through their encounter with Christ, and they knew that they could no longer serve the whims of a wicked ruler. We call this Sunday "Epiphany" because that's what the three wise men had: an epiphany, a moment of realizing the truth about God. In this moment these three men--kings that they were--"prostrated themselves and did homage" to the King of Kings. Then they went home by a different route, undoubtedly as different men. Now, their own authority as worldly leaders took on a new character. Now, they were men who served a power greater than themselves. As it was prophesied in the Old Testament reading from Isaiah, even kings would walk by the "shining radiance" of the Lord. Let us ask ourselves today how the Epiphany of the Lord can redirect us. What worldly allegiances have we made that need to be changed? Are we servants of our neighbors' good opinion or of the power of money? Are we secretly aligned with popularity or prestige? No matter what "rules" our hearts, we are invited to change our direction. We are invited to encounter the little Lord Jesus and offer ourselves to his gentle and loving guidance. After all, his is a kingship of concern for us. As today's psalm says, this King "shall rescue the poor when he cries out, and the afflicted when he has no one to help him."

The Detroit Free Press held its annual All-State Dream Team banquet, co-sponsored by the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. Divine Child High School Senior and parishioner, Geno Policicchio, was awarded the high school Pete Schmidt award for Courage. Peter J. “Pete” Schmidt (April 24, 1948 – September 29, 2000) was an American football coach. Schmidt died in September 2000 at age 52 after a year-long battle with cancer. Schmidt’s overall record in 14 years as a college football head coach is 105–27–3. Since 2001, the Pete Schmidt Memorial Scholar-Athlete Award has been presented each year by the MIAA football coaches to an outstanding scholar-athlete at an MIAA school. Church of the Divine Child, Dearborn, Michigan Page 9 On December 6, Divine Child Elementary and High School Choirs, had the privilege to perform on stage with Kenny Rogers at the Fox Theatre. Page 10 Church of the Divine Child, Dearborn, Michigan Holy Humor According to a news report, a certain private Catholic school was recently faced with a unique problem. A number of 12-year-old girls were beginning to use lipstick and would put it on in the ladies room. That was fine provided it was of a natural or neutral skin tone, but after they put on their lipstick, they would kiss the mirror leaving dozens of little lip prints. Every night the maintenance man would remove them; and the next day the girls would put them back. Finally, the principal, Sister Mary, decided that something had to be done. She called all the girls to the bathroom and met them there with the maintenance man. She explained that all these lip prints were causing a major problem for the custodian, who had to clean the mirrors every night (you can just imagine the yawns from the little princesses). To demonstrate how difficult it had been to clean the mirrors, Sister Mary asked the maintenance man to show the girls how much effort was required. He took out a longhandled squeegee, dipped it in the toilet, and cleaned the mirror with it. Since then, there have been no lip prints on the mirror. There are teachers...... And there are educators! Los Reyes Magos While most children in the United States are accustomed to receiving gifts on Christmas Day, in many Hispanic cultures, it is Epiphany, or the Day of the Three Kings, when gifts celebrating the birth of Christ usually appear. On the night of January 5, hay and a bucket of water are left outside the house for the camels who carry the Magi. A box or old shoes are put under the bed in which the Wise Men will leave gifts for the children. On the evening of January 6 families gather for dinner, and cut into the rosca de reyes, a ringshaped sweet bread decorated with candied fruit. Baked inside is a small figure of baby Jesus. Whoever finds the figure in his or her piece will host the final feast of the Christmas season, el día de la Candelaria on February 2. On that day new clothes are presented to enrobe the figure of baby Jesus in the Nativity scene of the family or the church. © Liturgical Publications Inc Church of the Divine Child, Dearborn, Michigan Page 11 JANUARY 31, 2015 8th annual CHILI CHA-CHA At Sacred Heart Parish Hall Suggested donation - $25/person $10/kids under 14 yrs 6:00 PM - 10:30 PM Enjoy a Great Dinner Live Music/Dancing Dessert/Afterglow Featuring live music by “Little Davy & The Diplomats” Tickets available after Mass January 17 & 18 As always, this is a benefit for the needy served by both Society of St. Vincent de Paul & The Capuchin Soup Kitchen Sponsored by Sacred Heart & Divine Child Parishes If you cannot attend, you can still donate to this benefit!

Kasza A Liturgical Moment: Preparation of the Altar The liturgy of the Eucharist has several parts to it. Following the Prayers of the Faithful, the altar is prepared (akin to “setting the table”) and the people bring up the gifts to be offered. In the early centuries of the Church, animals and vegetables were offered in addition to bread and wine. Today, only bread and wine are brought forward to the altar and the priest presents them to God asking that they (along with the people participating in the Mass) be set apart in order to be transformed into the Body and Blood of Christ. The purpose of these ritual elements is to help us to more fully enter into the Eucharistic celebration.

Devotion to the Infant Jesus of Prague goes back to the 1600’s, when a Carmelite Priest in Prague, while praying before a statue of the Infant Jesus, heard these words. “The more you honor Me, the more I will bless you.” Many miracles and graces worldwide have been attributed to devotion to the Infant Jesus of Prague.
