Second Sunday in Ordinary Time January 16, 2011

I will make you a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the ends of the earth. — Isaiah 49:6b

CALLED TO BE HOLY With this Sunday we begin Or-dinary Time. The readings tell us about God’s relationship with Israel and John the Baptist’s relationship with Jesus. Israel’s relationship with God is so close, so intimate, that it is through Is-rael that God’s “salvation [will] reach to the ends of the earth” (Isaiah 49:6). But we know from John the Baptist that for Israel to accomplish God’s will, it must also recognize that Jesus is the Son of God. During these weeks we also get to know Jesus. We begin to understand more deeply our relationship to Jesus and what that relationship means for us, who are “called to be holy” (1 Corin-thians 1:2). © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

READINGS FOR THE WEEK

Monday: Heb 5:1-10; Mk 2:18-22 Tuesday: Heb 6:10-20; Mk 2:23-28 Wednesday: Heb 7:1-3, 15-17; Mk 3:1-6 Thursday: Heb 7:25 -- 8:6; Mk 3:7-12 Friday: Heb 8:6-13; Mk 3:13-19 Saturday: Heb 9:2-3, 11-14; Mk 3:20-21 Sunday: Is 8:23 -- 9:3; Ps 27; 1 Cor 1:10-13, 17; Mt 4:12-23 [12-17] FEAST OF FAITH The Greeting At several points during the liturgy, the presider greets us with the words, "The Lord be with you." These simple words are not like the greetings that we exchange all day long--our "good mornings," our "hellos" and "how are yous." This litur-gical greeting has roots deep in the Old Testament. In the book of Ruth, the words "the Lord be with you" are spoken by Boaz to the harvesters who are laboring in his fields (2:4); in the book of Judges, an angel speaks similar words to Gideon (6:12), where they are words of promise: for soon Gideon will lead his oppressed people to victory and free-dom. For us, the words become a greeting of peace, a prayer that the Lord will indeed be with us, and a reminder of his promise to be with us always, to the end of the world (Matthew 28:20). Our response--"And also with you," soon to be "And with your spirit"--returns to the presider this prayer for the Lord's presence. As we know from the scriptures, a prayer for the Lord's presence is no small thing, for when God comes in our midst, God brings healing, grace, and challenge. God's presence transforms us. --Corinna Laughlin, (c) Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

Prayer for Employment

God, our Father, I turn to you seeking your divine help and guidance as I look for suitable

employment. I need your wisdom to guide my foot-steps along the right path, and to lead me to find the proper things to say and do in this quest. I wish to use the gifts and talents you have given me, but I need the opportunity to do so with gainful employ-ment. Do not abandon me, dear Father, in this search, but rather grant me this favor I seek so that I may return to you with praise and thanksgiving for your gracious assistance. Grant this through Christ, our Lord. Amen. Source: Catholic Online

Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia

En 1502 el Fraile Nicolás de Ovando y doce franciscanos dieron inicio a la evangelización de América en República Dominicana. Ellos fueron enviados por los Reyes Españoles con el mandato de convertir a los nativos “sin hacer fuerza alguna”.Con los misioneros llegaron Alfonso y Antonio Trejo quienes traían con ellos un cuadro de la Virgen María bajo la advocación de Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia. Ellos la llevaron a Higüey, donde en 1572 se le construyó su primer santuario. Poco a poco esta pequeña imagen se convirtió en la Reina del corazón de los dominicanos. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, © Copyright, J. S.

“Unidos en la enseñanza de los apóstoles, la comunión fraternal, la fracción del pan y la oración” (Hechos 2,42)

El tema propuesto de este ano de a cuerdo a la cita bíblica mencionada al principio, es una invitación de los cristianos de Jerusalén a los cristianos del todo el mundo a redescubrir los valores que

constituyen la unidad de la primera comunidad cristiana de Jerusalén y a meditar sobre la importancia de nuestra asiduidad a la enseñanza de los apóstoles y a la comunión fraternal, a la fracción del pan, y a las oraciones, elementos que nos unen en el único cuerpo de Cristo. Las iglesias de Jerusalén nos piden acordarnos de ellas en la precariedad de su situación y de unirse en oración en su lucha por la justicia, la paz y prosperidad de Tierra Santa. ©NUESTRA PARROUIA Lecturas: Isaías 55:1-4 Vengan por Agua Salmo 85:8-13 Su salvación esta cerca Juan 15:1-13 Yo soy la vid verdadera 1 de Corintios 12:12-27 Hemos recibido en el bautismo un mismo espíritu

NUESTRA CULTURA El pueblo hispano es muy agradecido y, cuando reconoce a alguien que hace algo por ellos, seguirán a esa persona y serán leales hasta el final. El reconocer la bondad en otros, que a veces se hace difícil en grupos más endurecidos por la vida es una señal fuerte del pueblo latino. Un pensamiento: "La santidad se encuentra en el camino que nos abre cada uno de nuestros días, en que se ofrecen a nosotros, con atractivo desigual, los deberes de nuestra vida cotidiana." San Francisco de Sales

17 de enero ♦ San Antonio Abad Cunado tenia unos veinte anos escucho las palabras, “ Ve y vende todo lo que tienes”, y se sintió llamado a hacer eso literalmente. Lo dejó todo para dedicarse a la vida contemplativa. Es el monje más famoso de la historia y su vida ha atraído a muchos. ¿Qué crees que harías si escuchas esa llamada? ¿Qué cosas te sería más difícil dejar?

Sabías que... El Sacramento de la Unción de los enfermos no es sólo para aquellos que están a punto de morir. Se considera también como tiempo oportuno para recibirlo cuando el fiel empieza a estar en peligro de muerte por enfermedad o vejez. Además, si un enfermo que recibió la unción recupera la salud, puede, en caso de enfermedad grave, recibir de nuevo el Sacramento.

LLAMADOS A SER SANTOS Este domingo comienza el Tiempo Ordinario. Las lecturas nos hablan sobre la relación de Dios con Israel y la relación de Juan Bautista con Jesús. La relación entre Dios e Israel es tan estrecha, tan íntima, que es por mediación de Israel que “la salvación [de Dios] llega hasta los últimos rincones de la tierra” (Isaías 49:6). Pero sabemos por Juan Bautista que para que Israel cumpla la voluntad de Dios, debe reconocer que Jesús es el Hijo de Dios. Durante estas semanas también llegamos a conocer a Jesús. Comenzamos a entender más profundamente nuestra relación con Jesús y lo que la misma significa para nosotros, que somos “su pueblo santo” (1 Corintios 1:2).© Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.
