HUMOR CORNER Attending a wedding for the first time, a little girl whispered to her mother, “Why is the bride dressed in white?” The mother replied, “Because white is the color of happiness, and today is the happiest day of her life.” The child thought about this for a moment then said, “So why is the groom wearing black?”
Come, let us bow down in worship;
let us kneel before the Lord who made us. — Psalm 95:6
Page Four February 1, 2015
Today’s reading offers three significant messages: ♦ Mark wants from his readers more than
amazement. He wants to make sure they understand that the Son of Man will suffer much.
♦ Jesus is without a doubt a powerful teacher and a healer. ♦
♦ Those who wish to follow the “amazing teacher and healer” must also take up their cross and follow him.
Gospel reading ( Mark 1: 21 – 28)
Then they came to Capernaum, and on the Sabbath Jesus entered the synagogue and taught. The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes. In their synagogue was a man with an unclean spirit; he cried out, “What have you to do with us, Jesus of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” Jesus rebuked him and said, “Quiet! Come out of him!” The unclean spirit convulsed him and with a loud cry came out of him. All were amazed and asked one another, “What is this? A new teaching with authority. He commands even the unclean spirits and they obey him.” His fame spread everywhere throughout the whole region of Galilee.
For Mark and the Christians of the first century the “unclean spirit” and other “demons” represented evil, mysterious powers hostile to God. In today’s text, the unclean spirit reveals Jesus’ identity and tries to derail him from his mission. Jesus’ words are not only authoritative, but they effect what they say. Everyone was amazed by his teaching and power. Mark is not concerned with stories about Jesus’ birth, but about establishing his identity as the Son of God. Already in chapter 1 Jesus’ powerful actions had drawn followers and enemies and caused his reputation to spread throughout Galilee.
Fourth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Brief commentary
For our shared or personal reflection: After a brief pause for silent reflection share your answers, ideas or feelings.
1. Am I a “good times” Christian only or am I also willing to follow Jesus in bad times? Explain.
2. Do I live in fear of the power of evil or do I trust that I follow the One who conquers all evil? Give examples.
Suggested readings: Catechism of the Catholic Church paragraphs 438; 1673.
Vengan, y puestos de rodillas, adoremos y bendigamos al Señor, que nos hizo.
— Salmo 95(94):6
Page Five 1 de febrero de 2015
La lectura de hoy nos presenta tres ideas importantes: ♦ Marcos exige de los lectores más que asombro y
admiración. El evangelista quiere que todos entiendan que el Hijo de Dios sufriría mucho en Jerusalén.
♦ Marcos no le presta atención a las historias del nacimiento y de la infancia de Jesús. Su propósito principal es establecer desde el principio de su Evangelio la identidad de Jesús como Hijo de Dios.
♦ Los que deseen seguir a este “asombroso” rabino, deben estar dispuestos a tomar su cruz y seguirlo.
Evangelio ( Marcos 1, 21 – 28)
En Cafarnaúm, Jesús empezó a comunicar su doctrina en las asambleas del día sábado, en las sinagogas. Su manera de enseñar impresionaba mucho porque hablaba como quien tiene autoridad: era todo lo contrario de los maestros de la Ley. En una ocasión se encontraba en esta sinagoga un hombre que tenía un demonio dentro, y se puso a gritar: “¿Qué quieres de nosotros, Jesús de Nazaret? Has venido a derrocarnos? Yo te he reconocido: Tú eres el Santo de Dios”. Jesús le hizo frente con autoridad: “¡Cállate y sal de este hombre!” El espíritu malo hizo revolcarse al hombre en el suelo y lanzó un grito tremendo, pero luego salió. Entonces el asombro de todos fue tan grande que se preguntaban unos a otros: “¿Qué es esto? ¡Con qué seguridad enseña esta nueva doctrina! Incluso le obedecen los espíritus malos”. Y muy pronto, la fama de Jesús se extendió por todo el territorio de Galilea.
Para Marcos y los cristianos del siglo I, los “demonios” representaban el mal y todos los poderes que fueran enemigos de Dios. En los ambientes populares, las gentes vivían en un constante temor a los “espíritus impuros”, a los que se atribuían gran parte de las enfermedades mentales, congénitas y todo tipo de vicios. En el texto que leemos hoy, el demonio revela la identidad de Jesús y trata de desviarlo de su misión: “¿Qué quieres de nosotros?” Las palabras de Jesús son dichas con autoridad y además logran lo que dicen: “El espíritu malo... salió”. Todos quedaron asombrados ante su poder, y su fama se extendió por toda Galilea.
Cuarto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
Comentario breve
Para la reflexión comunitaria: Después de una pausa breve para reflexionar en silencio, comparta con otros sus ideas o sentimientos: 1. ¿Soy cristiano solamente cuando todo me va bien, o
estoy dispuesto a seguir a Jesús también en los momentos duros y difíciles?
2. ¿Vivo en temor a los “poderes del mal”, o confío plenamente en Aquel que ha conquistado todo mal? De ejemplos concretos.
Lecturas recomendadas: Catecismo de la Iglesia Católica, párrafos 437;1673.

Yo… Usted… Nosotros, somos uno Durante siglos, la Iglesia Católica ha realizado más obras de caridad que cualquier otra organización en el mundo. ¿Por qué? Debido a que Dios es amor, y a través de esa declaración poderosa, Él nos enseña que es al dar cuando recibimos. Su mensaje es simple: amar a Dios sobre todas las cosas y amar a los demás. Es a través de Su amor que yo busco su ayuda. Usted es la respuesta a las oraciones de alguien, y juntos, podemos ayudar a aquellos que tanto lo necesitan. Unidos, como una sola familia de Dios, alimentamos a los hambrientos, vestimos a los pobres, cuidamos de los enfermos, moribundos, y llegamos a los corazones de los desesperados. Con la guía del Espíritu Santo, alimentamos y educamos a nuestros hijos, tanto espiritual como intelectualmente. Ayudamos a los más pobres de nuestras parroquias y escuelas, a fin de que todas las personas puedan encontrarse con Jesucristo. Proporcionamos refugio a las personas sin hogar. Como católicos, constantemente defendemos y respetamos la dignidad de toda vida humana; trabajamos para eliminar los prejuicios y promover la justicia social. Marchamos juntos mediante la participación de los sacramentos, desde el bautismo o la recepción de la Eucaristía, la confirmación, la penitencia y el matrimonio, hasta la unción de los enfermos. Y este año, hemos sido bendecidos con sesenta y cinco hombres que estudian en nuestros seminarios, habiendo respondido al llamado al sacerdocio, para convertirse en pastores de Cristo en el Sur de La Florida. Ustedes hacen todo esto posible. Unámonos a través de nuestro apoyo al ABCD de este año, de manera que yo ... usted ... y nosotros podamos seguir llevando a cabo las buenas obras de Jesucristo en el Sur de La Florida. Este domingo 1 de febrero presentaremos un video y mas información en todas las misas.
