THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME Jonah 3:1-5, 10, 1 Corinthians 7:29-31

Mark 1:14-20

Brief Reflection: Prepare each day for the end of our earthly lives. There is an ancient practice of reflection on mortality that goes as far back as Socrates: Memento Mori, or, Remember, thou art mortal. Today’s Scriptures are perfect for the Christian spiritual practice of thinking about our life, and eventual death – a reminder that our ultimate goal in faith is to live with God after this life. Awareness of our own mortality should spur us to act righteously each day.

This weekend, January 23/24, there are envelopes available for the Catholic Communication Cam-paign (CCC). Your support helps the CCC connect people to Christ, here and around the world, through the internet, television, radio, and print media. 50% of the funds we collect remains in our diocese to support local efforts. Be a part of this campaign to spread the gospel message and support the collection today! To learn more, visit www.usccb.org/ccc. “In today’s world, it is essential for the Catholic voice to be where the people are: whether that is sharing on social networking sites, listening to MP3 players, or reading a newspaper. For the faithful or those searching for faith, CCC provides rich con-tent, bringing the gospel message one page, click, or download at a time.”

TERCER DOMINGO DEL TIEMPO ORDINARIO Jonás 3:1-5, 10, 1 Corintios 7:29-31

Marcos 1:14-20

Breve Reflexion: Preparamos cada día para el final de nuestra vida terrenal. Existe una antigua práctica de reflexión sobre la mor-talidad que se remonta a Sócrates: Memento Mori, o Recuerda, eres mortal. Las Escrituras de hoy son per-fectas para la práctica espiritual cristiana de pensar en nuestra vida y, finalmente, en la muerte, un recordato-rio de que nuestro objetivo final en la fe es vivir con Dios después de esta vida. La conciencia de nuestra propia mortalidad debería impulsarnos a actuar con rectitud todos los días.

Parroquia del Sagrado Corazón - Sociedad del Altar de Santa Rita Los miembros (hombres, mujeres y niños mayores) de Sagrado Corazon también son miembros de la Sociedad de Altar de San-ta Rita . Una vez al año pedimos una donación de $ 10.00 por familia para ayudar a proporcionar los artículos necesarios para la celebración de la Misa. Estos artículos incluyen pan y vino de altar, velas, flores, palmas, cenizas y accesorios navideños. Otras tareas incluyen la limpieza y el cuidado de las sotanas y sobrepellices de los monaguillos y la limpieza en seco de las vestiduras del padre y del altar. Utilice el sobre de las cuotas del boletin de la semana pasada o cualquier sobre y devuélvalo a la oficina o colóquelo en la cesta de la colección. La iglesia es limpiada semanalmente por equipos de miembros voluntarios. La Sociedad de Altar de Santa Rita también propor-ciona suministros y equipos de limpieza. Si su familia no ha sido contactada para unirse a un equipo de limpieza, comuníquese con la oficina de la parroquia al 503-792-4231 o con Marianne Branaman al 503-508-0451.
