PARISH OF ST. JOSEPH February 7, 2016
From the Desk of Fr. Philip Kollithanath
Intimate friendship of Jesus is the backbone of Catholic Spiritual Tradition. When we are able to experience the presence of Jesus everything seems well and peaceful. When we do not hear the voice of the Lord within, all other comforts will feel like empty. In moments of trouble a word of Jesus will be of great consolation. When Martha informed Mary that Jesus is come and is asking for her, all tears of sorrow turned into joy of spirit. When we are spiritually alive, it is so dry and hard for a moment to be without Jesus. It is foolish and vanity to seek after the vain desires of this world. Life without Jesus is the real hell and life with Him is the sweet paradise. If Jesus is with us nothing can harm us. Living in the presence of Jesus gives us a true sense of security. One who loses Jesus is the poorest in the world. The one who lives in His grace is the richest. We must train our children very young on how to converse with Jesus every day. The art of keeping Jesus with us by being humble and peaceful. When we are devout and calm Jesus will be with us. We will drive Him away and lose His grace if we turn back to the outside world. We all need a true friend. There is no better friend than Jesus. Without the friendship of Jesus we will be sad and desolate. We should not offend Jesus even if the whole world turns against us. Jesus is our special love. Everything else we love for the sake of Jesus. We love Jesus for His own sake. Jesus must be loved for Him alone. Unlike other friends in the world he is always good and faithful. When we feel this close to Jesus, we can love friends and enemies in Him and for Him. We must pray to Him that all may know and love Him. We must learn to deny worldly inclinations to persons and fame. Avoid the tendency for anyone’s affection be centered on us. Let Jesus be in us all the time. We must have a sense of internal freedom from all affections. We must be pure and free within and should not be entangled with any creature. To experience the sweetness of the Lord we must have a clean and open heart. It is His grace that prepares us and draws us so that we may have the courage to forsake everything to be united with Him alone. When we have God’s grace we can do all things. When it leaves us we will become abandoned and afflicted. But we should not loose heart. Must carefully avoid despair and dejection while calmly await the will of God bearing with whatever happens in the meanwhile. Always look for the opportunity to glorify Jesus and to make Him known and loved as we do our best to remain in His love and grace. Success requires perseverance and conscious effort . we are all called to this spiritual relationship with Jesus. Since it is His
race that qualifies us, nothing should discourage us from making an effort. God bless you all.

Isaiah responds, “Send me!” (Isaiah 6:1-2a, 3-8)Psalm — In the sight of the angels I will sing your praises, Lord (Psalm 138). Second Reading — Paul reminds us of the gospel he preached through which we are saved, if we believe it 1Corinthians 15:1-11 [3-8, 11]). Gospel — Jesus directs Simon to take his boat into deep water for a miraculous catch of fish. Simon and his partners leave all to follow Jesus (Luke 5:1-11).

As the Roman Empire shattered and collapsed, the bishops were the people best equipped to catch the fall-ing stones. In the West (that’s us), they sought to stabilize society by weaving a structure of laws and courts to uphold the rights and dignity of married couples in a chaotic world. The bishops in the East had a different ap-proach, even allowing the dissolution of marriages in certain cases. To an extent, the bishops took a measure of control away from the fathers of families in order to provide pastoral care for those who suffered most in the social collapse: women and children.
In the West, much of the marriage law was contained in the “penitential books” the bishops devised to regu-late the lives of public sinners. In the seventh century, Theodore of Canterbury’s penitential book said that he had the power to give consent to remarriage in the case of a poor fellow whose wife had been carried off by the Vikings. If the Vikings subsequently brought her back, she could remarry, too! No bishop ever made peace with divorce, but there was never a time when the pastoral concern of the church was not struggling with how to care for people in unhappy situations.

Del escritorio del Padre Tradición Philip Kollithanath La amistad íntima de Jesús es la columna vertebral de la Tradición espiritual católica. Cuando somos capaces de experimentar la presencia de Jesús todo parece bien y tranquilo. Cuando no escuchamos la voz del Señor en el interior, todas las demás comodidades se sentirán como vacía. En momentos de dificultad para una palabra de Jesús será de gran consuelo. Cuando Marta informó a María que Jesús ha venido y está pidiendo para ella, todas las lágrimas de dolor se convirtieron en alegría de espíritu. Cuando estamos espiritualmente vivos, es tan seco y duro por un momento para estar sin Jesús. Es una tontería y vanidad a bus-car después de las pasiones de este mundo. La vida sin Jesús es el verdadero infierno y la vida con Él es el dulce paraíso. Si Jesús está con nosotros nada nos puede dañar. Vivir en la presencia de Jesús nos da un verdadero sentido de seguridad. Aquel que pierde a Jesús es la más pobre del mundo. El que vive en su gracia es el más rico. Debemos formar a nuestros niños muy jóvenes sobre cómo conversar con Jesús cada día. El arte de mantener a Jesús con nosotros por ser humilde y pacífico. Cuando estamos devota y tranquilo Jesús estará con nosotros. Él Vamos a alejar y perder su gracia, si volve-mos al mundo exterior. Todos necesitamos un verdadero amigo. No hay mejor amigo que Jesús. Sin la amistad de Jesús vamos a estar triste y desolado. No debemos ofender a Jesús, incluso si todo el mundo se vuelve contra nosotros. Jesús es nuestro amor especial. To-do lo demás que el amor por la causa de Jesús. Amamos a Jesús por su propio bien. Jesús debe ser amado por Él solo. A diferencia de otros amigos en el mundo que siempre es bueno y fiel. Cuando nos sentimos tan cerca de Jesús, podemos amar a los amigos y enemigos en Él y para Él. Debemos orar a Dios para que todos puedan conocer y amar a Dios. Tenemos que aprender a negar inclinaciones mundanas a las personas y la fama. Evite la tendencia por el afecto de alguien se centra en nosotros. Que Jesús sea en nosotros todo el tiempo. Tenemos que tener un sentido de la libertad interna de todos los afectos. Tenemos que ser puro y libre dentro y no debe ser enredado con cualquier criatura. Para experimentar la dulzura del Señor debemos tener un corazón limpio y abierto. Es su gracia que nos prepara y nos llama para que podamos tener el coraje de renunciar a todo lo que se une con Él solo. Cuando tenemos la gracia de Dios que podemos hacer todas las cosas. Cuando se nos deja que se convertirá abandonada y afligida. Pero no debemos corazón suelto. Debe evitar cuidadosamente la desesperación y el abatimiento, mientras tranquilamente es-perar la voluntad de Dios que lleva con todo lo que sucede en el ínterin. Busque siempre la oportunidad de glorificar a Jesús y darlo a conocer y amar como lo hacemos nuestro mejor esfuerzo para permanecer en su amor y gracia. El éxito requiere perseverancia y esfuer-zo consciente. todos estamos llamados a esta relación espiritual con Jesús. Ya que es su gracia que nos califica, nada nos debe desalentar de hacer un esfuerzo. Dios los bendiga a todos.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE . Cuando era niño mi padre me llevaba al rancho de mi abuelito en México. En una de esas visitas mi abuelo y mis tíos estaban quemando la tierra en su rancho. Mientras el fuego ardía, papa Manuel nos expli-caba que era necesario reducir todo en cenizas para que la tierra recobrara sus fuerzas y quedará más fértil. Sin saberlo, mi abuelo me dio la imagen que hasta hoy sostiene mi concepto del Miércoles de Cenizas y de la cuaresma.
El Miércoles de Cenizas es la fiesta cristiana que por lo menos doce siglos ha señalado el comienzo de la Cuaresma. No cabe duda que para los latinos este día es de particular atracción. Es uno de los pocos días del año litúrgico en cual llegamos al templo en masa por tal de recibir las cenizas en la frente.
