Reflections on the Readings
When we read the help-wanted ads, we usually look at the
background, experience, and qualifications being sought.
When it is a question of God’s or the Church’s calling, we
may tend to disqualify ourselves. Today’s readings show us
that to respond to the help wanted ad for prophecy is to look
beyond oneself to the problems of the community.
The author of the first reading lacks a direct commission
from Yahweh to establish the prophetic office in Israel, so he
reinterprets the divine manifestation on Mount Sinai (see
Exodus 20:19-21). God uses intermediaries; Moses was the
first. The author pictures the prophet not as self-trained but
as one into whose mouth God places the words. The
common good, rather than personal distinction, is
emphasized.
Although Paul refers to himself as an apostle, he exercises a
prophetic role as well. He does not place his own
restrictions. Believing the Second Coming to be imminent,
he attempts to achieve the good of the Corinthians, not his
own good. Seeing himself as a go-between, he promotes the
best interests of community.
Mark sees Jesus as God’s final spokesperson. In today’s
readings, Jesus teaches in the synagogue. The teaching
style, however differs greatly from that of the scribes, the “lay
experts.” He speaks prophetically. He does not quote the
authorities, he teaches with authority. Jesus links his
prophetic office with alleviating all that oppresses and
depresses the human spirit. Jesus seeks not personal but
comfort for the hurting.
Baptism empowers Christian spokespersons to address the
community for the common good. Our God endorses
comforting the depressed, helping the lonely, and visiting the
shut-ins. Whenever we reach out to these and similar
people, we communicate in a most realistic way the
message of God. To share God’s Word in action is nothing
less than prophetic ministry.
Help Wanted: At some time during the second
quarter of 2015, we will be making a parish survey
available using an online product called Survey
Monkey. If any parishioner has experience in data
analysis using Survey Monkey and would like to assist
in data analysis, please contact Pete Chesterton at
[email protected] of phone 585-281-3715.

FORMACION DE FE Padre Ricardo, párroco

Hna. M. Teresa coordinadora (910-200-9209)
IV Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario
El relato evangélico de hoy, sucede en Cafarnaúm Un
día que estaba Jesús hablando en la sinagoga,
sorprendió a la concurrencia un hombre que
interrumpía su discurso con violencia. El texto le
califica de endemoniado. Reflexionaron y sacaron
conclusiones sobre su conducta.. Y las consecuencias
no se las quedaron dentro de sí, hablaron de ellas, por
lo que la buena fama de Jesús creció. Hacer esto es
muy sencillo, no obstante, es una manera de dar a
conocer al Maestro, de evangelizar.
El Bautismo para Febrero es el
dia 14 a las 3:30 de la tarde. La
plática es el dia 8 de Febrero
después de la misa de las 9:30
de la mañana. Durante la cuaresma no hay bautizos.
El próximo bautismo es el dia 11 de abril y la plática
será el día 29 de Marzo.
MAMOGRAFIA MOBIL NOVANT HOSPITAL
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
al teléfono 910-721-1485.
INFORMACION
Llegado el sábado Jesús se pone a ensenar en La
sinagoga. Está en ella un hombre poseído por un
espíritu inmundo y Jesús le libera de ese mal espíritu.
Jesús libera y sana aquello que esclaviza al hombre: la
enfermedad, la lepra que margina, todas las fuerzas y
estructuras del pecado. . Después de expulsar al
espíritu malo la fama de Jesús se extiende por todas
partes.
El mensaje de Jesús choca, desde el comienzo de su
misión. Con esta potencia del mal increíblemente
activa y extendida por el mundo. En esta contexto
debemos de ver el Evangelio de hoy. En el centro del
texto no está el poseído por el demonio, sino Jesús
mismo. En Él debe fijarse nuestra mirada. De la misma
manera que Jesús procedió con el poseído, asi quiere
expulsar la injusticia, la mentira, el odio y todo el mal
de la tierra. Quiere en nosotros crear un mundo muevo
y mejor. Quiere construir una Nacion de Dios, donde
reinan la verdad, la justicia y el amor.
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.
