World Marriage Day
Today we celebrate World Marriage Day! Please pray for the married couples and those in marriage preparation from our parish. God bless all men and women who said YES to the vocation of marriage!
0 Jesus, lover of the young, the dearest Friend I have, in all confidence I open my heart to You to beg Your light and assistance in the important task of planning my future. Give me the light of Your grace, that I may decide wisely concerning the person who is to be my partner through life. Dearest Jesus, send me such a one whom in Your divine wisdom You judge best suited to be united with me in marriage. May her/his character reflect some of the traits of Your own Sacred Heart. May s/he be upright, loyal, pure, sincere and noble, so that with united efforts and with pure and unselfish love we both may strive to perfect ourselves in soul and body, as well as the children it may please You to entrust to our care. Bless our friendship before marriage, that sin may have no part in it. May our mutual love bind us so closely, that our future home may ever be most like Your own at Nazareth. 0 Mary Immaculate, sweet Mother of the young, to your special care I entrust the decision I am to make as to my future wife/husband. You are my guiding Star! Direct me to the person with whom I can best cooperate in doing God's Holy Will, with whom I can live in peace, love and harmony in this life, and attain to eternal joys in the next. AMEN.

I have extended an invitation to Rev. Richard Bayuk CPPS to come to our parish on the weekend of February 18- 19, 2017. Father Bayuk will be with us to celebrate Masses and tell us about the work of Unbound (previously known as CFCA). He will speak to you about how this ministry provides a trustworthy way to actively participate in the social outreach of the Catholic Church and answer the Gospel call to serve the poor. Founded by lay Catholics, Unbound is an organization that has served more than 600,000 children, youth and elderly in 20 developing countries since 1981 - empowering them to make more choices in their lives, live with dignity and reach their potential. To learn more, call 800-875-6564 or visit Unbound online at www.unbound.org. Unbound's unique sponsorship program is highly personalized. It matches a child, youth or aging person at a project overseas with a sponsor in the U.S. who cares about and encourages that person. With a monthly contribution, a sponsor helps to provide much-needed nourishing food, medical and dental care, the chance for a child to go to school, livelihood programs for families and much more. All of these efforts are directed at affirming the dignity of every person in their local community. Please join me in welcoming Father Bayuk to our parish. Sincerely yours in Jesus Christ,
Rev. George Zieba C.R. Pastor

EL AMOR DA PLENITUD A LA LEY 1.- No he venido a abolir la Ley o los profetas, sino a dar plenitud. Cumplir la ley en plenitud es cumplir el espíritu de la ley, no siempre la letra de la ley. Es el mismo san Pablo el que lo dice, en su carta a los Corintios: la letra mata, más el espíritu vivifica. La Ley de Moisés era la misma para todos los judíos, pero cada judío era una persona particular, con sus circunstancias temporales y espaciales propias. Para entender pronto y bien cómo entendía Jesús la Ley basta con que consideremos los problemas que tuvo Jesús con los escribas y fariseos a la hora de aplicar la ley del sábado. Todos sabemos que para Jesús el sábado era para el hombre, no el hombre para el sábado. Jesús sí cumplía la ley del sábado cuando curaba a un enfermo en sábado, aunque, a veces, lo hiciera en unas circunstancias que quebrantaban la literalidad de la ley. Lo mismo podemos decir de los ejemplos que hoy, en el evangelio de este domingo, pone el mismo Jesús, dirigiéndose a sus discípulos. No basta con no matar, para cumplir el quinto mandamiento, se trata de no ofender al prójimo y de poner mucho amor en nuestro trato con él. Tampoco es suficiente para la persona casada no cometer adulterio material y físico con otra persona que no es su esposa o esposo, el sacramento del matrimonio exige a los esposos amarse, como Cristo ama a su Iglesia. Cumplir la ley es cumplir el espíritu de ley, porque, como hemos dicho, la literalidad de la ley no puede tener en cuenta cada caso particular, en cambio el espíritu de la ley sí tiene en cuenta a cada persona, porque el espíritu es amor y el amor sí mira, en concreto, el bien integral de cada persona en particular. Amemos nosotros la ley, intentemos cumplir todas las leyes justas, pero sabiendo siempre que cumplir una ley es cumplir el espíritu de esa ley, que no puede ser otro que el amor a cada persona particular. Si, en misa, cuando vas a comulgar, te acuerdas de que has ofendido a algún hermano tuyo a quien
tienes junto a ti, reconcíliate con tu hermano antes de comulgar. Cumplir una ley con amor es cumplir esa ley en toda su plenitud.
2.- Si quieres, guardarás sus mandamientos, porque es prudencia cumplir su voluntad… Ante ti están fuego y agua, echa mano a lo que quieras. En este texto del libro del Eclesiástico aparece el problema de la libertad humana. Dios quiere que le amemos y cumplamos sus leyes, no a la fuerza, sino libremente. Sabemos que somos de barro, que somos débiles, que nuestra voluntad es frágil y quebradiza, pero esto no nos impide actuar con libertad. No es una libertad absoluta, porque ya nacemos fuertemente inclinados al mal, pero, con la ayuda de Dios, podemos superar nuestras malas inclinaciones y actuar de acuerdo con nuestra recta conciencia. Necesitamos la gracia de Dios para obrar el bien, pero Dios no niega a nadie su gracia, si sabemos pedírsela con insistencia y humildad. Obremos como personas libres, dirigidas por el amor de Dios, más que por el temor, como personas libres, dirigidas por su gracia, como nos dice san Agustín en su Regla.
3.- Hablamos, entre los perfectos, una sabiduría que no es de este mundo. Esta sabiduría de la que habla san Pablo es la sabiduría de Dios, una sabiduría que Dios nos da a través de su Espíritu. Cristo es el Espíritu de Dios y, en consecuencia, siempre que actuamos según el Espíritu de Cristo actuamos según el Espíritu de Dios. Los cristianos lo tenemos muy claro en la teoría: actuamos con sabiduría divina siempre que actuamos con la sabiduría de Cristo. Actuar como cristiano es actuar dirigidos por el espíritu de Cristo. Y como Dios es Amor, según nos dice repetidamente san Juan, si actuamos dirigidos por el amor, actuamos dirigidos por Cristo, es decir, actuamos con sabiduría divina. La ley de Cristo es el amor de Cristo, un amor que se manifestó sobre todo en la cruz de Cristo. Aceptemos las dificultades de la vida, aceptemos la cruz de la vida y hagamos todo con amor y por amor y así Dios nos dará “lo que ha preparado para los que le aman, algo que ni el ojo vio, ni el oído oyó”.
