AN ONGOING MISSION In his hometown synagogue, Jesus’ neighbors are amazed by his words. Nevertheless, they remind each other, “Is this not Joseph’s son?” Surely the people know who he is. The carpenter’s son. The young man who had learned in this very synagogue. The boy down the street. Conflict arises as Jesus begins to define himself in a new way. When he compares himself to the ancient prophets Elijah and Elisha the tensions grow. The tensions multiply when Jesus begins to tell of a new mission for God’s people: the good news of the scriptures is intended for all. In his famous passage from the First Letter to the Corinthians, St. Paul reminds us of the eternal nature of love. Love does not come to an end. In today’s readings, we are reminded that, like love, Jesus’ mission cannot be contained. Jesus slips through the crowd of persecutors and moves on to new challenges. We are called to this same per-severance in the name of love. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION The song of the angels, “Holy, Holy, Holy,” resounds from our lips at every Mass. There was a widespread belief in the first religions of the world that God stirred creation into being by a word, a song, a musical note. Music and a sense of God’s presence have always been inseparable. In the liturgy, your voice is invited into this song as the priest names the reasons for our praise. “Heaven and earth are full of your glory,” and we are not passive onlookers, but participants in this glory. Catholic prayer no longer assigns this angelic hymn to a choir, but gives it to you to sing. Even if your voice is thought to be suitable only for a well‑insulated shower stall, you are called into this song. We are born to sing—just listen to a baby testing the full range of newly‑discovered vocal abilities. Soon we get shushed and hushed into quiet, and given lots of messages that our voices are unwanted, and that we need to raise our hands in order to be heard. All of that is overturned in liturgy, the place where God waits to hear us come alive in the song of all creation. In heaven, everyone’s in the choir; why not start practicing now? —James Field, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

UNA MISIÓN CONTINUA En la sinagoga de su pueblo natal, los vecinos se maravillaban con las palabras de Jesús. No obstante, se preguntaban: “¿No es este el hijo de José?” Con seguridad la gente sabía quién era Jesús. El hijo del carpintero. El joven que aprendió en esa misma sinagoga. El muchacho de la calle. El conflicto surge cuando Jesús empieza a definirse de una manera nueva. Las tensiones aumentan cuando se compara con los antiguos profetas Elías y Eliseo. Las tensiones se multiplican cuando Jesús empieza a hablar de una nueva misión para el pueblo de Dios: la Buena Nueva de la Escritura está dirigida a todos. En su famoso pasaje de la primera carta a los Corintios, san Pablo nos recuerda la natura-leza del amor eterno. El amor no termina. En la lectura de hoy, se nos recuerda que, co-mo el amor, la misión de Jesús no se puede detener. Jesús se desliza entre la multitud de perseguidores y sigue adelante con nuevos retos. Estamos llamados a esta misma perse-verancia en nombre del amor. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE En muchos hogares Latinos el tiempo de Navidad terminó el día dos de febrero con la levantada del Niño Dios en la fiesta de la Candelaria. Es interesante como el pueblo cristiano tiene un cierto afecto para Jesús en su aspecto de niño. Desde hace siglos con el evangelista Lucas y la virgen María la imaginación cristiana ha ido buscando al Divino Niño en el templo; con san Cristóbal lleva cargando al Niño Dios sobre los hombros mientras cruza el rió de la vida y san Antonio de Lisboa juega con el Niñito Jesús sobre un libro teológico mientras estudia la Palabra de Dios. Fueron los monjes cistercienses del siglo XII quienes primero desarrollaron esta devoción al Niño Jesús. En su afán por conocer mejor al Dios hecho humano entraban por medio de la meditación imaginativa en los cuatro evangelios. Esta meditación es un entrar en la vida de Jesús de tal manera que vives los eventos en tu corazón y desarrollar así una relación afectiva con el Señor. La devoción al Niño Dios debe ser acompañada de la lectio divina. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Reflecting on God’s Word Prophets tend not to be very popular. They get thrown in jail, ridiculed, beaten up, or killed. The leaders of Jerusalem once had Jeremiah thrown in a cistern, where he would have died if someone had not interceded for him with the king. Today we hear how the people of Nazareth would have killed Jesus if he had not given them the slip. In both cases, people did not want a message that God was sending them through the prophets. Jeremiah had to tell the leaders that their time had run out because of their infidelity to the covenant. God was leaving them to their own devices, allowing Jerusalem to be destroyed by the Babylonians. Jesus confronts his own townspeople by admonishing them that they should be like that woman whom Elijah helped and that leper Elisha sent to wash in the Jordan. Both of these Gentiles had faith they should imitate. But the villagers only wanted a God who would wreak vengeance on the Gentiles, a God who only worked wonders for them and who was confined within the boundaries of Israel. Sometimes we may want to keep God in a little box of our own making, limiting God to the boundaries of the church building or maybe even just the tabernacle. That way we go and visit God when we have time or need something, but we hope that God will not bother us too much with any burdensome demands. The God of Israel was never satisfied with confinement, even in something the size of the temple. And Jesus would not allow himself to be constricted in his own day concerning whom he associated or ate with or even touched. Tight quarters wouldn’t do, not then but especially once he was raised from the tomb! —James A. Wallace, C.SS.R.

THANK YOU FOR OUR NEW CRÈCHE! The Sacred Heart Environment Committee wants to take this opportunity to thank Foster Hoffman for our beautiful new crèche. Foster donated his time (many, many hours) and his considerable talent to create a new setting for our Nativity. Foster several Environment Committee members have reported many positive comments received from various parishioners, on your creation. The crèche gives our beautiful Nativity a new and complete look, making it more visible in the church. Thank you for all your hard work and the evening hours working in very cold weather. Sincerely – Kathy Bullene & the Sacred Heart Environment Committee.

ANNUAL MINISTRIES APPEAL (AMA) 2013: “For where your treasure is, there also will your heart be.” This quote from the sixth chapter of Matthew is the theme Bishop Garcia has chosen for this year’s Annual Ministries Appeal (AMA). All parishes within the diocese will be holding their campaigns during the month of February and March. Our parish kick-off weekend will be February 16-17. The AMA provides an opportunity for us to support pro-grams and services that benefit our own parish as well as diocesan ministries. Speakers from our parish will tell you more about the AMA and stewardship next weekend, Feb. 9-10. Look for a letter from the pastor and finance council prior to these talks. We hope each family will prayerfully consider how they will respond to this call to carry on Christ’s work in our Church and community. No gift is too small.

APELACIÓN ANUAL DE MINISTERIO (AMA) 2013: “Pues donde están tus riquezas, ahí también estará tu co-razón.” Esta cita tomada del capitulo sexto de San Mateo, es el tema escogido por el Sr. Obispo García para su campa-ña anual de apelación de ministerio (AMA). Todas las pa-rroquias dentro de la diócesis tendrán su campaña durante el mes de febrero a marzo. El arranque para nuestra parroquia será el fin de semana del 16 y 17 de febrero. AMA provee una oportunidad para que nosotros apoyemos los programas y servicios que benefician a nuestra propia Parroquia así como a los ministerios diocesanos. Algunas personas vendrán a nuestra Parroquia a explicarnos un poco más acer-ca de AMA y de la corresponsabilidad el próximo fin de semana 9 y 10 de febrero. Busquen la carta del pastor y el concilio financiero antes de estas visitas. Esperamos que cada familia, con mucha oración, considere como responder a este llamado al trabajo de Cristo en nuestra iglesia y co-munidad. Ninguna donación es demasiado pequeña.
