TIRELESS DISCIPLESHIP The stories we’ve been hearing these weeks come from the very first chapter of Mark, and they show us the public ministry of Jesus in its infancy. Today’s account shows some of the strain or adjustment of his new life of preaching the reign of God, healing the sick, and casting out demons. Notice that after sunset, when darkness ended the workday, people brought the sick and possessed to Jesus. The following day he rose before dawn to get away by himself to pray, but to no avail. Simon Peter and the others don’t just look for him, they pursue him, filled with the fervor that his ministry has incited. With the self-sacrificing example he gave until the end of his earthly life, he tells his followers that this is his whole purpose. Through Mark, he is also telling the early church, and he is telling us, that this is our purpose, our vocation: to be tireless in our pursuit of proclaiming the Good News, and in bringing the healing, reconciling touch of Christ to the world.

DISCÍPULOS INCANSABLES Los relatos que hemos oído estas semanas provienen del primer capítulo de san Marcos y nos muestran el ministerio público de Jesús en sus comienzos. El relato de hoy muestra parte de la tensión y los cambios de su nueva vida que consistía en predicar el Reino de Dios, curar a los enfermos y expulsar a los demonios. Observa que después del atardecer, cuando caía el sol y terminaba la jornada laboral, las personas llevaban a los enfermos y poseídos a Jesús. Al día siguiente se levantó antes del amanecer para retirarse sólo a rezar, pero no tuvo suerte. Simón Pedro y los demás no solo lo buscan, sino que lo persiguen con el fervor que su ministerio ha incitado. Con la misma entrega ejemplar que demostró hasta el final de su vida en la tierra, les dice a sus seguidores que éste es su propósito. Por medio de Marcos, también le dice a la nueva iglesia y nos dice a nosotros que éste es nuestro propósito, nuestra vocación: ser incansables en nuestra lucha por proclamar la Buena Nueva y llevar el toque curador y reconciliador de Cristo al mundo.

Wear your Name Tag - February 10 & 11th, we are wearing name tags at the Masses. Bring your own or get a temporary one at the church. Anyone who is interested in helping with the name tag committee, please call Laurie Bair at 423-6172.

Fortaleciendo a nuestra familia en Dios - La meta del grupo “Fortaleciendo a Nuestra Familia en Dios" es el de crear una comunidad donde nos sintamos hermanos y encontremos apoyo tanto espiritual como corporal. Una comunidad donde todos nos sintamos felices de pertenecer y nos sintamos apoyados. Una familia dónde queramos contribuir y dar apoyo, y así construir una comunidad más fuerte y confiada en Dios. Claro que esto es más fácil decirlo que lograrlo! Y esto requerirá que todos los miembros de esta comunidad participemos y nos unamos a esta meta. Pasos para lograr esto incluyen el conocernos de nombre como una familia y el preocuparnos los unos por los otros. ¡También requerirá que compartamos nuestros dones y que respondamos al llamado de Dios! Un primer paso que hemos hecho es el de usar los gafetes. ¡Ojalá usted ya haya conocido por nombre a algunas nuevas personas de nuestra comunidad católica de Holy Cross! Otros planes futuros serán el de identificar cuales dones, experiencias y habilidades hay entre nuestros hermanos y hermanas, para compartirlos. Así en un futuro nuestra parroquia tal vez pueda proveernos ayuda y/o consejería en las siguientes áreas: Buscar Trabajo/Escribir curriculum, Ayuda con drogadicción en nuestras familias, Ayuda con tarea para nuestros hijos, Cuidado de niños, Consejería de crianza para padres, and Clases de inglés y/o español. Esperamos que usted también desee una comunidad como la que hemos soñado y descrito aquí. Por favor ayúdenos a lograrlo, poniendo su nombre y información de contacto en la caja que se encuentra al salir de la iglesia por la puerta principal.

Strengthening Our Family in God - The goal of the group "Strengthening our Family in God" is to create a community that gives us both spiritual and corporal support, a community where we all seek to belong, where we feel supported, where we want to contribute and give our full support, therefore building a stronger faithful community in God. Of course, this is easier said than done! This will definitely require all the members of this community to participate and join in this goal. Steps to achieve this include getting to know each other by name and caring about each other, sharing our gifts and responding to God's call! A first step we have taken is to use the name badges; we hope you have had the opportunity to meet by name a few of your fellow brothers and sisters from the Holy Cross Community. Other plans will be to identify what gifts, experiences and abilities there are amongst our brothers and sisters, to share them within our community. Thus, in the future our parish may be able to provide us with help and / or counseling in the following areas: Job Search / Write CV, Help on dealing with drug addiction in our families, Help with homework for our children, Childcare, Parenting counseling for parents, English and / or Spanish classes. We hope you will also want a community like the one we have dreamed about and described here. Please help us achieve this by putting your name and contact information in the box located on the table as you leave the church through the main door.
