AROUND THE DIOCESE

The Incarnation job support ministry meets on Tuesday mornings from 9 to 11 at St. Brendan's room outside of St. Michaels Hall. If you are unemployed, underemployed, or trying to get back into the workforce,

we invite you to join our group, a faith-based group of fellow members of our parish family, formed to provide support and assistance to help you get your "next" job. EMPLOYERS: Do you have vacancies in your compa-ny? Please help us by emailing a summary of the vacancies including requirements/skills needed, and we'll distribute this information to our job support members. Email to: [email protected]

THE GOOD NEWS Today’s readings begin with a few verses from the book of Job. First, Job com-plains that his nights drag on endlessly. Then, worse yet, “My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle; / they come to an end without hope” (Job 7:6). Not exactly encouraging, these lamentations, not when taken alone. Most of us have been there, though, and the antidote is the “good news” that Paul found so compelling that “an obligation has been imposed on me, and woe to me if I do not

preach it!” (1 Corinthians 9:16). Paul felt driven to announce the gos-pel to as many people as possible, “to save at least some” (9:22). This good news is the mystery of the life, death, and resur-rection of Jesus Christ, who lifted Simon Peter’s mother-in-law from her sickbed with a mere touch of his hand. “The whole town was gath-ered at the door. He cured many who were sick with various diseas-es, and he drove out many demons” (Mark 1:33–34)). Our woes and demons are as real as Job’s, and Jesus is our savior. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

MIEMBROS REGISTRADOS Y ACTIVOS: Todos los feligreses de nuestra comunidad parroquial de Incarnation buscan un sinnúmero de beneficios y servicios los cuales incluyen cartas de recomendación para la admisión a las escuelas católicas, certificados para toda aquellas personas que van a servir como padrinos en las diferentes celebraciones litúrgicas tales como el bautismo y la confirmación. Cartas las cuales le permiten celebrar el sacramento del matrimonio o bautismo en otra parroquia diferente a la de Incarnation. Esos derechos y servicios de parte de nuestra iglesia demandan ciertas obligaciones y compromisos de parte de ustedes como en cualquier comunidad. El ser un miembro activo de nuestra comunidad parroquial implica que la persona este inscrita en la parroquia, que asista regularmente a misa, y que esta persona trate en lo máximo de colaborar y aportar a la iglesia a través de sus recursos, talento y tiempo. Como resultado, el uso del sobre para las ofrendas es una buena forma para verificar la asistencia a la iglesia. Si usted decide a no usar los sobres o simplemente no puede hacer su contribución a la iglesia, le pedimos el favor de escribir una nota en la cual usted nos ofrece su apoyo espiritual a través de sus oraciones y colóquelo en las canastas de las ofrendas. De tal forma, nosotros vamos a estar consiente de que usted es un miembro activo de nuestra parroquia y así no lo moveremos a las listas de feligreses inactivos. Si usted o su familia no están inscritos en nuestra iglesia, le pedimos el favor de hacerlo lo más pronto posible. Si usted tiene alguna inquietud, no dude en llamarnos a la oficina parroquial al 813-885-7861. Un pensamiento: "Dios es amor y alegría y El nos la comunica. Sólo Dios basta. Fuera de El no hay felicidad posible." Santa Teresa de los Andes

ORACIÓN DE LA SEMANA 5 de febrero de 2012, Quinto Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Señor, que tu amor incansable cuide y proteja siempre a estos hijos tuyos, que han puesto en tu gracia toda su esperanza. Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo y es Dios por los siglos de los siglos.

5 de febrero de 2012 Pg 10

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE El 11 de febrero, 1858 la Virgen María se apareció a tres niños franceses del pueblito de Lourdes. Allí brotaron aguas milagrosas con el poder de sanar enfermos. Eventualmente se construyó en Lourdes un santuario en honor de Nuestra Señora de Lourdes y millones de enfermos han recurrido a las aguas curativas. Muchos de los que visitan el santuario son latinos, porque a los latinos nos encantan los milagros y lo milagroso. Pero ¿cuál es el afán de ver milagros? ¿Es que no podemos creer sin ellos? ¿Es que necesitamos demostraciones del poder divino antes de entregarnos a Dios? La Iglesia siempre ha canonizado santos y santas por cuya intercesión se han manifestado milagros, y ha buscado su poder de intercesión. Sin embargo, también ha insistido que es más importante una vida ejemplar, una vida dedicada al bien del prójimo que una vida prodigiosa. Hay que tener mucho cuidado, porque frecuentemente en nuestro afán por ver milagros estrepitosos en lugares lejanos, cerramos los ojos a ver los milagros de las personas que nos rodean, y que silenciosamente ayudan al necesitado. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos�Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. Castidad y pureza de corazón Vivir una vida casta no es fácil; no sólo para los célibes, sino para el mundo entero.

NUESTRA PARROQUIA A veces se piensa que las desventuras son un castigo o la voluntad misteriosa de Dios. La verdad es que la enfermedad es parte de la condición humana. El plan de Dios es la salud de todos y la participación en la vida de la comunidad por medio del servicio.

NOTICIAS

El Papa: Transformen cruces de la vida en sacrificios de amor a Dios y los hermanos En la audiencia general de este miércoles y meditando sobre la oración de Jesús en la Última Cena antes de morir en la cruz, el Papa Benedicto XVI exhortó a que, a ejemplo de Cristo, las cruces y las dificultades propias de la vida se conviertan para cada uno en sacrificios de amor a Dios y los hermanos. Carta de los obispos Hispanos/Latinos a los inmigrantes Nosotros los obispos hispanos/latinos de Estados Unidos abajo firmantes les hacemos saber a quienes se encuentran en nuestro país sin papeles que no están solos ni olvidados. Sé puntual, apaga el celular y ponte guapo para ir a Misa, exhorta sacerdote Un sacerdote mexicano hace algunas recomendaciones prácticas para participar de la Misa entre las que están ser puntual, apagar el celular y ponerse "guapo" porque al asistir a una Eucaristía los fieles participan de una fiesta.
