Because of you, our boys are able to experience a joyful holiday, many for the first time.

TERCER DOMINGO DE TIEMPO ORDINARIO
ENERO 21, 2018
¿CÓMO ES QUE ESCUCHAMOS LA VOZ DE DIOS?
Hemos tenido en las lecturas de la Misa últimamente
narraciones sobre la manera en que los hombres de otros
tiempos lograron escuchar la voz de Dios.
El domingo pasado escuchamos cómo SAMUEL
APRENDIÓ a reconocer a Dios cuando le hablaba. Al
principio, ni se le ocurrió que podía haber sido la voz de Dios
la que escuchaba; el sacerdote Elí fue quien le ayudó a
reconocer a Dios, y a responderle con reverencia y espíritu
de obediencia humilde.
Hoy, es JONÁS el que recibe el llamado divino, y
responde, pero de mala gana. Realmente NO QUIERE que
se lleve a cabo la conversión del pueblo a quien Dios lo envía.
Sin embargo, Dios se vale de la predicación de Jonás para
salvar al pueblo de Nínive cuando ellos respondieron con
ayuno, penitencia, y cambio de conducta.
Vemos que, en ambos casos, el de Samuel y el de Jonás,
Dios siempre lleva a cabo Su obra.
¿Creo yo que Dios obra hoy de la misma manera que
entonces? ¿Creo que Dios desea también obrar en mí?
¿Cómo le escucho? ¿Cómo le estoy respondiendo?
JESÚS LLAMA A SUS PRIMEROS DISCÍPULOS
En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús va al lago de Galilea para
encontrar y llamar a sus primeros discípulos. Los 4 son
PESCADORES, y tanto Andrés y Simón, como Santiago y
Juan, responden con entusiasmo a la invitación de seguir a
Jesús – y sus vidas cambian para siempre a partir de ese
momento.
¿Has decidido tú seguir al Señor como discípulo? ¿Qué
cambios has visto?
Y, si todavía NO has dado ese paso, ¿por qué dudas en
hacerlo?
EL TIEMPO “ORDINARIO”
Hemos entrado, como Iglesia, en lo que llamamos tiempo
ordinario. Esto quiere decir, en pocas palabras, que nos
encontramos fuera de las 4 grandes temporadas litúrgicas:
(adviento, Navidad, cuaresma, y Pascua). El color en la
liturgia en tiempo ordinario es VERDE.
Durante estas semanas las lecturas bíblicas que
escuchamos nos narran episodios de la vida pública de Jesús,
normalmente las sanaciones y milagros que hizo, y
enseñanzas acerca del Reino de Dios y lo que implica el ser
un discípulo suyo.
El siguiente cambio vendrá el 14 de febrero, cuando
celebramos el miércoles de ceniza y entramos en Cuaresma.
PAREJAS: PASOS PARA EL MATRIMONIO
Parejas que desean celebrar su matrimonio en la
Iglesia deben tomar los siguientes pasos para facilitar el
proceso. La primera cita es con el Padre Cary; en una
entrevista corta para conocerles y explicar brevemente los
requisitos y la documentación necesaria.
Las PLÁTICAS PRE-MATRIMONIALES se ofrecen
en nuestra parroquia dos veces al año, la primera
comenzando en FEBRERO, y la segunda comenzando en
SEPTIEMBRE. Duran más o menos 10 semanas, y tienen
como objetivo ayudar a las parejas a que se conozcan
mejor, que comprendan lo que significa este sacramento
en la Iglesia, y que aprendan algunas prácticas para
poder vivir un hermoso matrimonio en Cristo.
Si quieren tomar las pláticas antes del verano, el
tiempo es corto: hagan cuanto antes su cita con el
P. Cary. La primera plática de este ciclo es febrero 5.
SI NO HAY CLASES EN LAS ESCUELAS … por razones de clima o transporte peligroso, tampoco habrá actividades en la parroquia, incluyendo clases de catecismo. TALLER INTRODUCTORIO A ORACIÓN CENTRANTE Personas que desean aprender una manera de hacer oración de silencio están cordialmente invitadas a asistir a un taller en Santa Cecilia el sábado, 10 de febrero de 12:00 a 4 :30 PM. La presentación será bilingüe (inglés-español). Participación en este taller es gratis, pero requiere que las personas interesadas se apunten antes para tener listo el material necesario. MENSAJE MARIANO “¡Queridos hijos! También hoy los invito a ser portadores del Evangelio en sus familias. Hijitos, no olviden de leer la Sagrada Escritura. Pónganla en un lugar visible y testimonien con su vida que creen y viven la Palabra de Dios. Yo estoy cerca de ustedes con mi amor, e intercedo ante mi Hijo por cada uno de ustedes. ¡Gracias por haber respondido a mi llamado!” Enero 25, 2006.

Third Sunday in Ordinary Time ~ January 21, 2018
First Reading ~ Jonah 3:1-5, 10
The word of the LORD came to Jonah, saying: "Set out for the great city of Nineveh, and announce to it the
message that I will tell you." So Jonah made ready and went to Nineveh, according to the LORD'S bidding.
Now Nineveh was an enormously large city; it took three days to go through it. Jonah began his journey
through the city, and had gone but a single day's walk announcing, "Forty days more and Nineveh shall be
destroyed, " when the people of Nineveh believed God; they proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and
small, put on sackcloth.
When God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way, he repented of the evil that he had
threatened to do to them; he did not carry it out.
Responsorial Psalm ~ Psalm 25:4-9
Teach me your ways, O Lord.
Second Reading ~ 1 Cor inthians 7:29-31
I tell you, brothers and sisters, the time is running out. From now on, let those having wives act as not having
them, those weeping as not weeping, those rejoicing as not rejoicing, those buying as not owning, those using
the world as not using it fully. For the world in its present form is passing away.
Gospel ~ Mark 1:14-20
After John had been arrested, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God: "This is the time of
fulfillment. The kingdom of God is at hand. Repent, and believe in the gospel."
As he passed by the Sea of Galilee, he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea; they
were fishermen. Jesus said to them, "Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men." Then they
abandoned their nets and followed him. He walked along a little farther and saw James, the son of Zebedee,
and his brother John. They too were in a boat mending their nets. Then he called them. So they left their
father Zebedee in the boat along with the hired men and followed him.
Profession of Faith
I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the
Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from
heaven, and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he
was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the
Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who
with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in
one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look
forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.
