THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME
JANUARY 22, 2017
Wait for the Lord with courage;
be stouthearted,
and wait for the Lord.
— Psalm 27:14
LIBERATION AND REFORM
While you might have to reach for an atlas to determine that Isaiah is speaking about Galilee, today’s
first reading (part of which was read at Christmas) is prophetic of Jesus’ future ministry in that province.
The light that brings salvation and rejoicing is, ultimately, Christ. Liberation is the theme: liberation from
both ignorance (“darkness”) and sin (the “yoke”).
As Isaiah identifies a place, so Paul describes an attitude: the attitude that develops, even among
good people, of equating their own will with the common good. This always brings dissension, and so
it has done in Corinth. Paul will not allow this; we are all members of “Christ’s party.” The gospel is not to
divide us.
Matthew quotes from Isaiah in today’s Gospel, presenting Jesus as the fulfillment of Isaiah’s
prophecies. The theme is “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” (Matthew 4:17). To spread this
message, Jesus begins to select disciples, four of whom we meet today: Peter, Andrew, James, and John. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
READINGS FOR THE WEEK
TODAY’S READINGS
First Reading — The burdens that
were once laid upon the people
have been vanquished
(Isaiah 8:23 — 9:3).
Psalm — The Lord is my light and
my salvation (Psalm 27).
Second Reading — Paul exhorts
the believers at Corinth: As there
is one Christ, so too must there
be no divisions among you. (1
Corinthians 1:10-13, 17).
Gospel — After calling his first
disciples, Jesus goes throughout
Galilee teaching, proclaiming the
gospel, and curing the people
(Matthew 4:12-23 [12-17]).

LITURGICAL
TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
Los retablos de metal son famosos en muchas partes de Latinoamérica. Estos pequeños retablos o
laminitas contienen imágenes de Cristo, la Santísima Trinidad, María, los ángeles u otro santo/a pintados
sobre lámina, madera u otro material para decorar los altares familiares de los hogares hispanos.
Aunque los retablos no siempre siguen las normas del arte cristiano, los retablos latinoamericanos son
bellos ejemplos de la mezcla de culturas amerindias, europeas y africanas. Pero no todos los retablos
son pequeños. En muchas iglesias coloniales de Latinoamérica se encuentran retablos gigantescos
hechos de mármol o madera, cubiertos de oro y joyas que recuerdan los grandes retablos europeos,
pero con el color y folclor latinoamericano.
Originalmente, los retablos europeos eran pequeños y móviles, de tal manera que se podían colocar
sobre un altar para la celebración de la Misa. Cuando la Iglesia fue construyendo sus propios templos,
los retablos empezaron a formar parte de la decoración de los santuarios y tomaron dimensiones
impresionantes. Los retablos pequeños pasaron a los hogares de los fieles, quienes quieren tener a
Cristo y sus santos como parte de su diario vivir. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co., Inc.

MCDONALD’S VATICAN BRANCH TO OFFER MEALS
TO THE HOMELESS
VATICAN RADIO | JANUARY 1, 2017 | HTTP://EN.RADIOVATICANA.VA/
The controversial McDonald’s fast-food restaurant that has just opened only steps away from St. Peter’s
Basilica and Vatican City State is to provide thousands of free meals to homeless people in the area.
The restaurant was opened at the beginning of the year after months of protest from locals and prelates
who deemed it inappropriate for the unique historical setting of the building it is housed in, with a prime
view on the Vatican’s Saint Anne Gate.
But a collaboration between the Borgo Pio branch of McDonald’s and a local charity organization called
‘Medicina Sociale’ has yielded a fruitful agreement that promises to hand out over 1000 McDonald’s meals
to homeless persons every Monday at lunchtime starting from January 16th.
The special “McVatican” - as the outlet has immediately been nicknamed - lunch boxes will include a
double cheeseburger, fresh apple slices and a
bottle of mineral water.
Lucia Ercoli, director of the charity
organization, said she was “very satisfied with
this agreement with McDonald’s” and pointed
out that the fast-food chain responded
“promptly” to their request.
‘Medicina Solidale’ has been working with the
Papal Almoner over the past year, providing
health check-ups and medical care to the
local homeless community. Volunteers and
workers at the charity will be charged with
distributing the McDonald’s meals.
