Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ,
Reflections on the Readings
We appreciate interpreters of languages who tear down the
walls of isolation that keep people apart. How rarely,
however, do we think of ourselves as believers who
interpret, not a different language but a particular dimension
of our neighbor’s relationship with God. Today’s readings
show us people searching for meaning in life and “faith
interpreters” unlocking the answers to their questions.
The first reading is a scene from the eleventh century B.C. in
which the power of the priest Eli passes to Samuel. The
scene requires a skilled interpreter. Eli interprets for Samuel
that it is the Lord who calls, and thus Eli launches Samuel on
one of Israel’s most significant careers.
Paul deals with Christians for whom casual sex with a
prostitute poses no moral problem. For the Corinthians the
body was morally irrelevant since at death it was destroyed.
Thus sin existed only outside the body, in one’s motive and
intention. Paul had to interpret the moral consequences of
Christian faith. The bodies of Christians continue Jesus’
saving mission, thus we must be committed to his service.
The gospel is John’s account of the call of the first disciples.
In the company of two of his disciples, the Baptist interprets
the person of Jesus: “Look! Here is the Lamb of God!” (John
1:36). As a result, the two disciples decide to stay, to follow
Jesus; the same happens with all the rest.
Sometimes we meet people who may not be aware of their
gifts. At other times, they may be too shy to use their talents.
In these circumstances believers can translate the presence
of gifts as an indication of their use on behalf of the
community and encourage the talented to step forward.
Believers are more than the reciters of doctrines and
formulas. Believers are interpreters.
The Diocese of Raleigh is requesting a second
Collection for the Ebola Crisis in West Africa next
weekend January 24th and 25th.
Today, we begin the Week of prayer for Christian Unity.
The theme for our prayer during the Week this year is
“Jesus said to her: ‘Give me a drink’” (John 4:7). I ask you
to join me and Christians throughout the world, that we may
thirst for the unity for which Our Lord Jesus prays: … that
all may be one… that the world may believe…” (John
17:21).
Our Holy Father, Pope Francis, continues to encourage
dialogue among all Christians, that this prayer of Our Lord
Jesus may be brought to fruition throughout the world. It is
through such dialogue that greater understanding is gained.
As Saint John Paul II suggested, understanding together
with a shared work of the Gospel to assist those most in
need, begins to heal divisions by expressing the unity
which is at the heat of our common faith.
May God continue to bless, watch over and guide us
always in this great endeavor, as we strive to pray with one
heart and voice in the Most Holy Name of Jesus.
Sincerely in Christ,
Michael F. Burbidge
Most Reverend Michael Burbidge
Bishop of Raleigh
United States Conference of Bishops ask us to join
them in prayer. On January 22 our nation will mark the
42nd anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court
decision that made abortion legal throughout the U.S. Since
that tragic decision, more than 56 million children’s lives
have been lost to abortion, and many suffer that loss --often
in silence. Join Thousands of Catholics across the country
coming together in prayer for a “culture of life” from
Saturday, January 17 - Sunday, January 25! Pray for the
respect and protection of all human life with special
intentions, brief reflections, and more each day. Download

SEGUNDO DOMINGO TIEMPO ORDINARIO
Este es el cordero de Dios... Juan el Bautista tenía la
misión de preparar la llegada del Mesías. Cuando vio
que Jesús se acercaba a El dice a sus discípulos “Este
es el cordero de Dios”. Y dos discípulos de Juan se
ponen en marcha en el seguimiento de Jesús que
continúa su camino. Es conveniente subrayar este
sentido de la escenificación: Jesús «pasaba» sin
detenerse. El paso de Jesús atrae con fuerza cuando
el hombre se abre a su presencia, a sus gestos, a su
palabra.
¿Qué buscáis?.. Es necesario permanecer siempre en
situación de búsqueda y clarificación. Los discípulos
preguntan por la casa donde vive, “Venid y lo veréis”,
dice Jesús. La invitación de Jesús al trato personal con
El es algo importante en su vida... Fueron y se
quedaron con él aquel día. El narrador observa que
eran las cuatro de la tarde.. Este es el paso que
observamos en esta bella narración vocacional.
Andrés anuncia lo que ha visto y oído. Dice a su
hermano Simón Pedro. “hemos encontrado al
Mesías” ..
Jesús se acerca a Simón y le dice. “Tú eres Simón, el
hijo de Juan; tú te llamarás Cefas” (que significa
Pedro). Jesús se le quedó mirando. Es llamativo cómo
en el relato evangélico, en los cuatro evangelistas
aunque lo subraya más Marcos, Jesús mira con
especial significación a sus discípulos. Estas miradas
revisten aspectos muy diversos: ira, contrariedad,
predilección, forma especial de inquirir el interior del
hombre, acogida, ternura. Otro elemento del relato es
el cambio de nombre. También es necesario recurrir a
la Escritura para entender que el cambio de nombre no
es capricho ni un detalle decorativo de la persona, sino
que se le da una especial identificación, una especial
tarea, una especial misión. En el futuro se llamará
Cefas que quiere decir Pedro.. Hoy como ayer, este
relato vocacional nos invita a un encuentro siempre
renovado con el Maestro y amigo, Jesús; una apertura
a los otros para conducirlos a Jesús; una atención
especial para evangelizamos a nosotros mismos.
El jueves, Marzo 26, de 9 a 4 de la tarde el móvil de
mamografía de NOVANT HOSPITAL estará en San
Brendan para hacer mamografías GRATIS a todas las
mujeres de la parroquia que quieren participar. La
registración es recomendable y para registrarse llamen
