Reflections on the
Sunday Readings
Come walk with me… to the upper room… to Jerusalem… The call of Jeremiah, prophet of the late seventh and
early sixth centuries B.C., is featured in today’s first
reading. Jeremiah had a special relationship with God
(“Before you were born I consecrated you”). His
mission was enormously challenged (“stand up and tell
them everything that I command you”) and the Lord
would protect him (“for I am with you … to deliver
you”). Jeremiah is a courageous spokesperson!
to Gethsemane… to the trial…to the cross… to the world… “Come Walk with Me!”
A Special Cantata on the Passion and
Resurrection of Jesus Christ
Performed by St. Brendan Sanctuary Choir with
Luke presents Jesus today as prophet heralding the
dawning of a new age. The people’s reaction is
disconcerting. First there is amazement, how could this
local citizen claim such power? Then there is
indignation -- a plot to slay the prophet by hurling him
over the edge of the hill! Obviously, pain and hostility
must be endured before Jesus’ new age comes to
glory.
We, too, by our common baptism and unique calling,
are prophets for the kingdom. We will encounter many
reactions, not all of them positive. Like Jeremiah and
Jesus, unswerving dedication and bold courage must
be our trademarks.
The Stations of the Cross
will be prayed every Friday
during Lent after the 9am
Mass beginning February 12,
2016. Except Friday March 4,
Stations will be prayed at
8am, which is First Friday.

FORMACION DE FE Padre Ricardo, párroco

Cuarto Domingo Ordinario
“Yo les aseguro que nadie es profeta en su tierra.”
Todas las personas que escuchaban a Jesús le
expresaban su aprobación y se admiraban de las
palabras de gracia que salían de sus labios... Al oír
esto, todos en la sinagoga se pusieron furiosos... El
escándalo que se produce radica en esta paradoja: a
Jesús le conocen bien, ha vivido con ellos y ha
trabajado con ellos durante muchos años, conocen
bien su procedencia. ¿Cómo es posible que éste sea
el Profeta esperado para la plenitud de los tiempos, el
Mesías anunciado desde antaño? Por eso se producen
dos reacciones entre los oyentes: una primera, de
admiración y una segunda, de rechazo. Este encuentro
en la sinagoga de Nazaret marca escuetamente el
destino de Jesús. Su ministerio será una alternancia
de admiración y de rechazo. Él mismo advertirá más
adelante, exclamando lleno del Espíritu Santo: Yo te
alabo, Padre, Señor del cielo y de la tierra, porque has
ocultado estas cosas a los sabios y prudentes y se las
has dado a conocer a los sencillos (Lc 10,21-22).
Según el testimonio unánime de los evangelistas,
Jesús habría afirmado: os aseguro que ningún profeta
es bien mirado en su tierra y entre los suyos. La
vocación profética es una llamada gratuita de parte de
Dios y no un derecho familiar o hereditario y, por eso,
ha de ser siempre un hombre libre. Jesús ha llevado la
misión profética a su máxima perfección. Hoy como
ayer la autenticidad profética exige esta actitud de total
libertad frente a las presiones de intereses a menudo
en desacuerdo con su verdadera misión. Los cristianos
en medio del mundo son puntos de referencia críticos
porque desde el bautismo son, como Jesús, profetas,
sacerdotes y reyes. Tarea nada cómoda ni nada fácil.
Por eso se trata de un signo de autenticidad.
Pero Jesús se abrió paso entre ellos y se alejaba. El
final del relato es sobrecogedor e inquietante. Es una
de las afirmaciones más trágicas, relacionadas con
Jesús, que encontramos en los relatos evangélicos.
Para pertenecer al verdadero discipulado la razón de
ser paisano suyo no tiene valor ninguno. Sólo lo
pueden ser, responde Jesús, los que escuchan la
palabra de Dios y la cumplen o la hacen realidad en
sus vidas. La Iglesia de hoy ha de entender
sinceramente que para pertenecer al grupo de los
discípulos no hay privilegios.
Para saber acerca de preguntas
sobre inmigración llamen a la Madre
Rosanne al teléfono 910-616-2105.
La Madre atiende todos los domingos después de la
misa de las 9:30 de la mañana en las oficinas del
Centro Pastoral.
BAUTISMOS
El próximo bautismo será el
sábado día 5 de Marzo. Por favor
se pide llenen la aplicación. Se
pide asistan a la plática que se
dará el día 17 de Enero y el día 28
de Febrero después de la misa de
las 9:30 de la mañana.
Los
bautismos son a las 3:30 de la tarde.
MIERCOLES DE CENIZA
El miércoles día 10 de Febrero
comienza la Santa Cuaresma. La
Iglesia nos da estos 40 días para
que todos los cristianos/católicos
hagamos una gran reflexión de lo
que significa para nosotros ser
seguidores de Jesús. También nos da tiempo para
reflexionar sobre nuestras vidas de acuerdo con
nuestra relación con Jesús crucificado. Durante la
cuaresma tendremos tiempo para el sacramento de la
reconciliación. El padre Ryszard estará en el
confesionario todos los sábados a las 4 de la tarde y
también los domingos antes de la misa. La cecina se
impondrá a las 7 de la tarde, el miércoles día 10 de
Febrero.
PLATICAS PARA LAS
QUINCEANERAS
Las
tres
pláticas
obligatorias para las
quinceañeras comienzan

Febrero a las 6:30 de la
tarde. El miércoles 24 de Febrero, a las 6:30 de la
tarde y el domingo 28 de Febrero. Todas las
quinceañeras que celebran este ano su fiesta deben
de asistir a estas pláticas.
