(Carta en español en la página 5) “His First Followers” By Fr. Mark Haydu, LC

We began the Church year with the foundations of our Christian life. We focused on our

baptismal call to preach the word of God. Now we focus on the call of the first apostles.

The last part of today’s Gospel reading, about Jesus calling his first disciples, is displayed in a

painting in the Sistine Chapel, Calling of the Apostles by Domenico Ghirlandaio. In the artwork, The

Sea of Galilee spreads out behind Jesus, who is front and center. Several towns line the shore and

remind us of Capernaum, where Jesus lived and near the area where he called his first followers.

Two apostles kneel in front of Jesus; another pair stand behind him. Their gestures and postures

reveal their interior attitudes. One apostle crosses his arms in acceptance while another

prayerfully looks up at Jesus. The third apostle, behind Jesus, has his hand at his chest as if to say,

“Are you sure you want me?” The fourth seems to look away. Many others surround Jesus, but

not all of them are called to be apostles.

The call of Jesus is real. He may not ask us to leave behind our business or family, but he does ask

for the same totality of trust and following. The result of fully saying yes to this call is what the

first reading proclaims: “You have brought them abundant joy / and great rejoicing; / They rejoice

before you as people rejoice at harvest....” (Isaiah 9:2). The Joy of the Gospel that Pope Francis

proclaimed in his 2013 apostolic exhortation is exactly this: that joy that comes from a sincere and

generous yes to Jesus’ call to be a disciple.

Jesus may not ask us to leave behind our business or family,

but he asks for the same totality of trust.

Parishioners are invited to get involved in our parish in many ways. Listed are some of the opportunities that you may find personally and spiritually rewarding.

Decoration Committee Members are needed to:

• Organize and decorate church and hall for events, weddings, and funerals.

Kitchen Group volunteers are needed to:

• Organize and lead new fundraising events, such as, fish fry, BBQ cookouts, enchilada nights, etc..

• Organize, plan and sell breakfast on Sunday mornings.

(You can create your own group or help an established group.)

Other opportunities in the parish:

• Altar servers are needed for all Masses.

• Musicians, especially for English Mass.

• Person to assist with photography and video.

• Person to assist with PowerPoint and A/V.

“Sus Primeros Seguidores ” Por Fr. Mark Haydu, LC

Comenzamos el año de la Iglesia con los fundamentos de nuestra vida cristiana. Nos enfocamos en

nuestro llamado bautismal para predicar la palabra de Dios. Ahora nos enfocamos en el llamado de los

primeros apóstoles.

La última parte de la lectura del Evangelio de hoy, sobre Jesús llamando a sus primeros discípulos, se

muestra en una pintura en la Capilla Sixtina, Llamado de los apóstoles por Domenico Ghirlandaio. En la

obra de arte, El mar de Galilea se extiende detrás de Jesús, que está al frente y al centro. Varios

pueblos bordean la costa y nos recuerdan a Capernaum, donde vivió Jesús y cerca del área donde

llamó a sus primeros seguidores.

Dos apóstoles se arrodillan frente a Jesús; otro par se para detrás de él. Sus gestos y posturas revelan

sus actitudes interiores. Un apóstol cruza sus brazos en aceptación mientras que otro mira en oración

a Jesús. El tercer apóstol, detrás de Jesús, tiene la mano en el pecho como para decir: "¿Estás seguro

de que me quieres?". El cuarto parece apartar la mirada. Muchos otros rodean a Jesús, pero no todos

están llamados a ser apóstoles.

El llamado de Jesús es real. Es posible que no nos pida que dejemos atrás nuestro negocio o familia,

pero sí pide la misma totalidad de confianza y seguimiento. El resultado de decir completamente sí a

esta llamada es lo que proclama la primera lectura: “Les has traído abundante alegría y gran regocijo; /

Se regocijan ante ti como la gente se regocija en la cosecha ... ”(Isaías 9: 2). La alegría del Evangelio

que el Papa Francisco proclamó en su exhortación apostólica de 2013 es exactamente esto: esa alegría

que proviene de un sí sincero y generoso al llamado de Jesús a ser discípulo.

Puede que Jesús no nos pida que dejemos atrás nuestro negocio o familia,

pero pide la misma totalidad de confianza.

Todos los feligreses están invitados a participar en nuestra parroquia de muchas maneras. Estas son algunas de las oportunidades que puede encontrar personalmente y espiritualmente gratificantes.

Se necesitan miembros del Comité de Decoración para: • Organizar y decorar la iglesia para eventos, bodas y funerales.

Se necesitan voluntarios en el Grupo de Cocina para: • Organizar, planificar y vender desayunos los domingos. (Pueden crear su propio grupo o ayudar a un grupo

establecido).

• Organizar y dirigir nuevos eventos, como vender pescado frito, platillos de barbacoa, platos de enchiladas, etc..

Otras oportunidades en la parroquia: • Se necesitan servidores del altar para todas las Misas. • Músicos, especialmente para la misa en inglés • Persona para ayudar con fotografía y video. • Persona para ayudar con PowerPoint y A / V.
