LLAMANDO A TODOS LOS ADOLESCENTES
Nuestro Ministerio de la Juventud se reúne los jueves por la noche de 7:00 PM a 8:15 PM en el sótano de la rectoría. Se anima a todos los jóve-nes de la parroquia a asistir.
PROFETAS VERDADEROS Hoy en Deuteronomio oímos que las palabras de Dios llenarán la boca de un profeta verdadero, pero un profeta falso pondrá, por así decirlo, palabras meramente huma-nas en boca de Dios. En el Evangelio según san Marcos, vemos a Jesús enseñando y curando como un profeta verdadero con la autoridad de la voz de Dios. La historia de nuestra Iglesia está llena de ambos pos de profetas. Algunos profetas falsos fueron extremadamente popula-res y eran muy versados en la Sagrada Escritura, incluso ocupaban puestos de autoridad eclesial. Pero en el Evan-gelio de hoy descubrimos que la fama de Jesús se exten-dió porque enseñaba con autoridad; no era una autori-dad porque fuera popular o famoso. En otra parte, descu-brimos con él, cuando es tentado y enfrenta a Satanás en el desierto, que cualquiera puede citar la Sagrada Escritu-ra, incluso si estos van en contra de los propósitos de Dios. Hoy oímos que su autoridad no era como la de los escribas, que eran la autoridad oficial religiosa en su épo-ca. Nuestra tarea es hacer todo lo posible por saber iden-
ficar a los verdaderos profetas que están entre nosotros y también a ser verdaderos profetas. El salmista nos dice cómo hacerlo: no debemos endurecer nuestros corazo-nes cuando escuchamos a Dios. Si realmente escuchamos a Dios, Dios pondrá sus palabras en nuestra boca.
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El día 2 de febrero se celebrará la Candelaria. En este día se conmemora la purificación de Ma-ría, cuarenta días después de que dio a luz a Jesús. Candelaria viene del verbo la n candere (brillar), de allí la palabra candela, o sea, veladora. La cele-bración de la Purificación de María y la Presenta-ción del Niño Jesús en el templo se conmemora con la bendición de todas las velas y veladoras que se van a usar durante el año. Esto se hace con la esperanza de que nunca venga a faltar la luz, tanto material como espiritual, en las casas de los fieles. Los cris anos, como Simeón en el templo, pueden decir que ellos también han visto la salvación; Je-sús la verdadera luz que brilla en brazos de María.
En Puerto Rico tradicionalmente esta fiesta se celebra con la quemazón de los árboles de navi-dad, basura, palos, cosas viejas, etc. Esta costum-bre subraya el deseo de dejar atrás todo lo malo para que llegue lo bueno; es decir terminar con la oscuridad para que brille la luz.

Baptism/Bautismo: English: 2nd Sunday of the month at 1:45 PM.

TRUE PROPHETS
In Deuteronomy today we hear that God’s very words will fill the mouth of a true prophet, but a false prophet will, in a manner of speaking, put mere mortal words into God’s mouth. In Mark’s Gospel, we see Jesus teaching and healing as a true prophet, one filled with the authority of God’s own voice. The whole history of our church is filled with both true and false prophets. Some false prophets were extremely popular and quite well-versed in scripture, and even held posi ons of au-thority. But in today’s Gospel we learn that Jesus’ fame spread because he taught with authority; he wasn’t an authority because he was popular or famous. Elsewhere, we also learn from him, in his desert tempta on confron-ta ons with Satan, that anyone can quote scripture, even against God’s purposes. Today we hear that his authority was not like that of the scribes, who held the official posi-
ons of religious authority in his day. Our work is to do our best to discern the true prophets in our midst, and to be true prophets as well. The psalmist tells us how to do this: by not hardening our hearts when God speaks. If we truly listen to God, it will be God’s very words filling our mouths.
TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION This is the year of St. Paul, and so one of the most visited churches of Rome is also one of the most beau -ful: the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls. Like so many other churches, it was founded by the master-builder (or financier) Emperor Constan ne about the year 315. Paul was martyred outside the walls of the City of Rome at a place called Tre Fontaine, probably on June 29, in the year 65, perhaps the first anniversary of St. Peter’s crucifixion. Chris ans buried him in a quiet place about two miles away, and visited to pray. Con-stan ne was running low on bricks, apparently, because the first church was ny. In 386 it was demolished and today’s basilica begun. This vast and towering space looks much the same today as it did in the fourth centu-ry.
The centuries have not been kind to ancient Rome, but un l the early 1800s St. Paul Outside the Walls sur-vived beau fully, perhaps because it has been assigned for nearly a thousand years to Benedic ne monks. It was therefore a vibrant place of daily prayer even through the centuries when Rome was a poor and nearly aban-doned city. In 1823 a great fire resulted from a botched repair job to lead on the roof, and St. Paul’s was de-stroyed. It is said that the whole world contributed to its restora on. Even the Russian czar and the viceroy of Egypt gave alabaster, malachite, and lapis lazuli for the pillars and the tabernacle. Several of the precious mosa-ics were able to be restored, bringing the ancient basilica back to life. One of the great treasures of the basilica is a set of prison chains, said to have been worn by the Apos-tle in the last days before his martyrdom. Unlike other Roman churches, St. Paul’s stands in a garden-like subur-ban neighborhood, surrounded by stately palm trees, gardens, and parks.
