THIS LITTLE LIGHT OF MINE As children we sang the lively song This Little Light of Mine. The words, of course, are based on today’s Gospel, in which we are called as disciples to be salt and light for the world. Children are uninhibited about sharing their faith. It’s only when we grow older that we prefer to hide our light under a bushel basket because our culture tends not to emphasize discipleship. The message in this week’s readings is clear: in order to give glory to God through our discipleship, we must show the light of Christ in our words and deeds. Not an easy thing for inhibited adults. Often we may think of salt and light in terms of what we do for others, but it can be just as important not to do some-thing, such as getting angry with the stranger on the road, or telling an offensive joke.

Fifth Sunday in Ordinary Time February 5, 2017

Light shines through the darkness for the upright. — Psalm 112:4

First Reading — If you share your food with the hun-gry, provide housing for the homeless, then light shall break forth upon you (Isaiah 58:7-10). Psalm — The just man is a light in the darkness to the upright (Psalm 112). Second Reading — My message to you, says Paul, was not clever words of wisdom but the proclamation of Christ crucified (1 Corinthians 2:1-5). Gospel — You are the salt of the earth, the light of the world. In your good deeds your light shines before others, leading them to glorify God (Matthew 5:13-16).

Parish Office Hours Gloria Maldonado, our office secretary is ready to welcome and assist our parishioners and visitors. St. Joseph the Worker Parish Office Hours are from Tuesday thru Friday 9:00am to 6:00pm (closed noon to 1:00pm for lunch)

This Week at St. Joseph the Worker Church

Wednesday Evening Holy Hour, Confessions and Rosary Prayer Group

Every Wednesday evening we have Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament from 6:00 – 7:00 pm with Confessions available from 6:00 – 6:45 pm.

The Rosary & Devotion Prayer Group meets at 7:00pm following the Holy Hour. – All are welcome.

“The Lord wants more from us than being quietly holy.”

In today’s Gospel reading from the Book of Matthew Jesus calls us salt and then light. He tells us, for example, that we are the light of the world, reflecting His light. Specifically He says to those who choose to be His disciple, “Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lamp stand.” St. Teresa of Calcutta once said, “To keep a lamp burning you have to keep putting oil in it.” If we see our-selves as lamps as Jesus told us we should be, we need to keep the oil in it and that requires action on our part. Stewardship is putting our faith in action through the use of the gifts given to us by God. It is becoming a true disciple of Jesus Christ. The Lord did not want us to be passive in our approach to living. He wants more from us than just being quietly holy. Being a disciple of Christ translates into being a steward of our many gifts and blessings. Through your personal prayers and generous Sunday offerings, please assist St. Joseph the Worker church in continuing to be a blessing for all seeking peace, understanding and healing that only God can bestow. Thank you, in advance for your faithful support. Blessings + Fr. Kenneth Nobrega

Prayer to Our Lady of Lourdes

Oh ever immaculate Virgin, Mother of Mercy, Health of the Sick, Refuge of Sinners, Comfortess of the Afflicted, you know my wants, my troubles, my sufferings. Look upon me with mercy. When you appeared in the grotto of Lourdes, you made it a privi-leged sanctuary where you dispense your favors, and where many sufferers have obtained the cure of their infirmi-ties, both spiritual and corporal. I come, therefore, with unbounded confi-

dence to implore your maternal intercession. My loving Mother, obtain my request. I will try to imitate your vir-tues so that I may one day share your company and bless you in eternity. Amen.

LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Cuando compartas tu pan con el ham-briento, y sacies la necesidad del humillado, entonces brillará tu luz en las tinieblas (Isaías 58:7-10). Salmo — El justo brilla como luz en las tinieblas (Salmo 112 [111]). Segunda lectura — He anunciado a ustedes el misterio de Cristo crucificado, a fin de que la fe de ustedes dependa del poder de Dios y no de la sabiduría de los hom-bres (1 Corintios 2:1-5). Evangelio — Que su luz brille ante los hombres, para que viendo sus buenas obras, den gloria a su Padre, que está en los Cielos (Mateo 5:13-16).

El Señor quiere más de nosotros que estar en silencio santo'

En la lectura del Evangelio de hoy del Libro de Mateo Jesús nos llama sal y luego luz. Él nos dice, por ejemplo, que somos la luz del mundo, reflejando Su luz. Específica-mente Él dice a aquellos que eligen ser Su discípulo: 'Y no encenderán una lámpara y luego la pondrán debajo de una cesta de celemín; Se fija en un soporte de la lámpara. ' Santa Teresa de Calcuta dijo una vez: 'Para mantener encendida la lámpara, debes seguir echando aceite'. Si nos vemos como lámparas como Jesús nos dijo que debemos de nuestra parte. La mayordomía es poner nuestra fe en acción mediante el uso de los dones que Dios nos ha dado. Se está convirtiendo en un verdadero discípulo de Jesucristo. El Señor no quería que fuéramos pasivos en nuestra manera de vivir. Él quiere más de nosotros que estar en silencio santo. Ser un discípulo de Cristo se traduce en ser un mayor-domo de nuestros muchos dones y bendiciones. Por medio de sus oraciones personales y generosas ofrendas dominicales, por favor ayude a San José la Iglesia Trabajadora en continuar siendo una bendición para todos que buscan la paz, la comprensión y la curación que sólo Dios puede otorgar. Gracias, de antemano por su apoyo fiel. Bendiciones + P. Kenneth Nobrega

DA Cuando des algo, procura que sea algo que al darlo se

multiplique. —Raymundo Lull

MI PEQUEÑA LUZ Cuando éramos niños cantábamos efusivamente la canción Mi pequeña luz (This Little Light of Mine). La letra de la canción, desde luego, está basada en el Evan-gelio de hoy, en este estamos llamados como discípulos a ser la sal y la luz del mundo. Los niños no tienen dificultad para compartir su fe; solo es cuando crecemos que pre-ferimos esconder nuestra luz bajo un tazón porque nuestra cultura tiende a no enfatizar el discipulado. El mensaje en las lecturas de esta semana es claro: para poder dar gloria a Dios por medio del discipulado, debemos mostrar la luz de Cristo en nuestras palabras y obras. No es algo fácil para adultos inhibidos. A menudo podemos pensar en la sal y la luz en términos de lo que hacemos por los demás, pero puede ser tan importante como el no hacer nada, ya sea como enojarse con un desconocido en la carretera o decir una broma ofensiva.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION When the custom of the stational liturgies was revived in the city of Rome in the early days of the twentieth century, the papal liturgy for Good Friday was appropriately housed in the stational church of Santa Croce in Gerusalemme, the Holy Cross of Jeru-salem. The church is off the tourist track today, but true pilgrims would never miss it. It stands on the grounds of the Sessorian Palace, the home of the Empress St. Helena, mother of Constantine. She dedicated her life to finding the true cross of Christ in Jerusalem, and desired to found a church in Rome for people who could not make the long and dangerous trip to the Holy Land. Eventually, it came to house relics of the cross. When the pope fled the city of Rome for Avignon, the religious institutions of Rome collapsed and the church was abandoned. Centuries later it was given into the care of monks. Amazingly, it concealed a forgotten treasure. In 1492 repairmen took down a brick wall and discovered a niche with the inscription “Title of the Cross,” and within, an ancient wooden tablet on which was carved the inscription dictated by Pilate for the cross of Christ in Hebrew, Latin, and Greek. No one is certain that this is authentic, although its discovery was enough to give the church great prestige among pil-grims. The veneration of the relic of the cross located here was a factor in shaping our restored Holy Week. —Rev. James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE La primera santa americana fue Rosa de Lima, peruana de nacimiento. Murió en 1617 y fue canoniza-da en 1671, diez años después de la primera fundación inglesa en lo que hoy son Estados Unidos de América. Esta santa americana es acompañada por otros santos como san Felipe de Jesús (mexicano) canonizado en 1862 y Madre Francisca Cabrini (italoestadounidense y la primera santa de EE. UU.) canonizada en 1946. Oficialmente hay 60 santos y 77 beatos que nacieron o trabajaron en América. La mayoría de estos son 50 mexicanos, 33 brasileños, 12 canadienses, nueve estadounidenses, ocho colombianos, siete peruanos, tres argentinos y tres chilenos. Guatemala, Cuba, República Dominicana, Uruguay y Venezuela tienen un santo(a) cada uno. Estados Unidos y Canadá comparten siete mártires. La mayoría de los santos o santas del continente americano fueron beatificados o canoniza-dos durante los últimos 100 años. Sólo ocho de ellos fueron canonizados durante los últimos ocho años. No todos estos santos nacieron en América, pero sí dedicaron su vida a evangelizarla. Estos 137 santos de la Iglesia universal son un testimonio de la obra del Espíritu Santo en el continente americano. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.
