February 3, 2019 – 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time By Joan DeMerchant Introduction
Who really wants to be called upon to change, let alone promote it in others? The prophets surely didn’t, and Jesus early on heard the reaction to his sermon among his own people. Today’s readings remind us that our faith is grounded in God’s word. That always involves the call to be and live differently. Just as God’s love sustained others, we are equipped with spiritual gifts, especially love, to respond to that same call. Prayer of the Faithful
We pray now, as people called to live God’s word in every circumstance of our lives. For Pope Francis and all in the church who face the hard reality required of those who witness to the Gospel and its call to change, we pray:
For all contemporary prophets who challenge the status quo in politics, religion or culture, and for those afraid to hear or support them, we pray:
For the United States, as the nation celebrates Black History Month, for anyone who has suffered from the scourge of racism, those who deny its lingering reality, and those seeking justice for all people, we pray:
For all in our country who are treated as outsiders: for the poor and poorly educated, refugees and the imprisoned, those struggling with mental illness or physical disabilities; and for those working on their behalf, we pray:
For the will and courage to practice the spiritual gifts we have been given and the gift of love above all else, we pray:
For those among us facing unwanted changes in work or health, finances or relationships, citizen status or safety, we pray: Presider God, who challenges our values and calls us to change, we turn to you in our reluctance to abandon the familiar and step out into new and uncharted territory. Grant us the same strength you gave to the prophets and to your Son, Jesus. May we hear your word and promote your love to the world. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.
Our parish offers “Online Giving”, a web
based electronic contribution application.

Please remember those in the armed ser-vices—keeping us safe. We also pray for all who have died serving our country, that they may be welcomed into paradise, where they will live forever with God.

HOLY FAMILY PARISH FOURTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME
“Hoje se cumpriu
esta passagem da Escritura que acabastes de ouvir.”
IV DTC – Ano C: – Jeremias 1,4- 5.17-19; Salmo 71(70); 1Coríntios 12,31-13,13; Lucas 4,21-30
O evangelho começa como terminou o texto do domingo passado: Hoje se cumpriu esta passagem da Escritura que acabastes de ouvir (v.21). As pessoas admiram as palavras de Jesus, cheias de sabedoria, mas ainda não compreendem sua missão. Não podem reconhecer no filho de José o enviado de Deus. Diante dessa reação do povo, Jesus se apresenta como profeta, consciente de seu destino: Nenhum profeta é bem recebido em sua terra. Acontece com ele o mesmo que sucedeu com Elias e Eliseu que não puderam ajudar os seus conterrâneos e tiveram que se dirigir aos estranhos. A rejeição ao Cristo por ser o filho de José, resulta da expectativa de um Messias poderoso.
Jesus, porém, não se deixa intimidar e passando pelo meio deles, continua o seu caminho (v.30). Jeremias, na 1ª leitura, confia no Senhor por ser dele conhecido antes mesmo do seu nascimento e por ter sido consagrado, desde então, como profeta a serviço das nações. Essa certeza fortalece o profeta diante dos reis, dos sacerdotes e do povo. O salmo expressa a confiança no Senhor, rocha protetora, abrigo seguro, amparo e refúgio dos que anunciam sua justiça com fidelidade. A 2ª leitura fala do amor “ágape” que é o dom por excelência, pois foi derramado pelo Espírito em nossos corações (Rm 5,5).
É admirável a atitude de Jesus que diante da recusa e ameaça segue com plena liberdade o seu caminho. As forças opostas ao projeto de Deus não podem impedir que realizemos a missão que nos foi confiada. Que a Palavra fortaleça a nossa missão profética, para que sigamos com fidelidade os passos de Jesus, construindo um mundo mais fraterno..
Ó Deus de ternura e misericórdia,
faze brotar em nós o desejo de comunhão contigo e com todos os seres do universo
e ajuda-nos a ser solidários com os que sofrem.
Por Cristo, nosso Senhor. Amém.
