SPIRITUAL LIFE
PARISH LIFE
SACRISTANS: THE INVISIBLE MINISTRY
As you arrive for Mass, the altar breads, water, and wine
are there in the inner lobby; chalices can be seen on the
credence table to the left of the altar. After Mass, as you
take a few minutes to talk to friends or get a hug from Fr.
Charlie, the “altar dishes” (sacred vessels) are cleared
away. Setting up for each Mass and cleaning up
afterwards are not difficult jobs, but our priest-celebrants
or deacons must do it—unless someone helps. This
“helper,” whom you may never see, is a Sacristan.
If you can devote a few minutes to this ministry before
and after Mass, or if you are a Sacristan now, please
come to the Parish Library on Tuesday evening,
February 24, at 7pm. Questions: contact Bill Laudeman at
877-8025 or [email protected].
MARDI GRAS POTLUCK
& FR. CHARLIE’S BIRTHDAY
Join us as we celebrate Fr Charlie's birthday "Mardi Gras
Style" on Tuesday, February 17, at noon. Please bring a
dish to share—whether meat, casserole, vegetable, salad or
fruit. Dessert (including King Cake!) and drinks will be
provided. A special Mass will be celebrated at 11:15am
and the lunch will follow in the Parish Life Center. If you
would like to help with set-up/decorating or clean-up
please call Kyra in the parish office.

antes del amanecer, las dos estaban sentadas en la puerta de
la casa mirando hacia el este. Mira al horizonte, le dijo la
abuela, pronto aparecerá una curva roja de luz. Miraban y
la curva se iba ensanchando cada vez más y
más.Ensimismada, la niña presenció su primera salida de
sol, su primer amanecer. En voz muy baja, le preguntó a su
abuela: ¿Sucede esto todos los días?La vida, rutinaria y
triste, está llena de los pequeños y grandes regalos que Dios
nos ofrece cada día. Asombrémonos y demos gracias.
“Se quedaron asombrados de su doctrina, porque no
enseñaba como los escribas, sino con autoridad”.La gente
que acudió aquella mañana a la sinagoga de Cafarnaún
quedó más que sorprendida, quedó asombrada con la
enseñanza de Jesús. Enseñaba con autoridad. La autoridad
humana tiene casi siempre connotaciones negativas. Es la
autoridad de la prohibición, del NO. Los padres se imponen
a los hijos con sus noes. A los profesores hay que darles
autoridad ya que su saber, sus castigos y consignas no
funcionan.
Los militares nos silencian con sus armas. La Iglesia nos
amenaza con el infierno. La autoridad de Jesús no se parece
en nada a la de los hombres.
Marcos no nos dice nunca, cosa sorprendente, el contenido
de la enseñanza de Jesús. Mateo nos entrega el Sermón de
la Montaña, Lucas las parábolas maravillosas y Juan nos
deleita con los siete signos de Jesús. El Jesús de Marcos nos
manda callar y el calló ante Pilatos. Jesús es más
importante que su enseñanza porque él es la enseñanza, su
vida entera es su gran enseñanza. La autoridad de Jesús
consiste no en condenar y excomulgar sino en perdonar los
noes que cualquier otra autoridad nos impone. La
autoridad de Jesús consiste en amar a las personas más y
mejor que a las normas y las tradiciones humanas. La
autoridad de Jesús consiste en incluir a todos los excluidos
de la sociedad: los pecadores, los leprosos, los impuros, las
mujeres, los niños, los extranjeros, todos los que eran
excluidos por ser pobres, por ser impuros, por ser
samaritanos...La autoridad de Jesús consiste en que no
mira al pasado sino al presente y al futuro que le
pertenecen a Dios. Jesús nos enseña a vivir de cara al
futuro.La autoridad de Jesús consiste no en la palabra del
orador sagrado o político sino en la palabra del profeta que
relativiza el culto y prioriza la compasión y el amor. La
autoridad de Jesús consiste en que es el único que ha visto y
viene de Dios y es el único cualificado para hablar y hacer
hablar a Dios. Los hombres son malos intérpretes de una
realidad que desconocen. La palabra autoridad viene de
autor y autor indica creación, novedad, crecimiento. Jesús
nos hace crecer y nos recrea cada mañana. Los hombres
nos ponen en nuestro sitio, nos disminuyen. Jesús es el
contenido de su enseñanza. Debemos prestar atención a su
vida entera, incluidos sus silencios, hasta confesar que es el
Hijo de Dios, el Salvador.Lo que sorprendió a su auditorio
aquella mañana en la sinagoga no fue la presencia del loco,
endemoniado o poseído que gritaba sino la autoridad de
Jesús.El mal, obra de los hombres, existe porque somos
libres y elegimos ser poseídos y atados por nuestros propios
demonios. No echemos las culpas a ningún demonio del mal
que hacemos o sufrimos. Responsables que somos de
nuestras vidas, expulsemos el demonio del miedo, del odio,
de la envidia, de la lujuria, de los prejuicios, de nuestra
absoluta independencia…y, si no puedes, deja que Jesús
limpie tu interior, esta mañana, en esta iglesia-sinagoga, y
te ayude a descubrir la verdad, el perdón y el amor. Que
Jesús sea tu autoridad.
LA COLECTA DEL OBICPO 2015 ESTÁ EN MARCHA
“RESPONDIENDO A SU LLAMADO”
La Colecta del Obispo 2015 comenzará con una
información enviada por correo regular que muchos de los
feligreses ya han recibido o recibirán próximamente. Es
una comunicación del Obispo Stika en donde les solicita
hacer un generoso compromiso con la Colecta de este año.
Su donación no solo provee los fondos de muchas de las
operaciones de la Diócesis sino que brinda los fondos para
servicios que ayudan en gran manera a los ministerios de
nuestra Parroquia. Este año, el tema de la Colecta es
“RESPONDIENDO A SU LLAMADO”. Cada donación
recogida en la Colecta permite a la Diócesis construir el
reino de Dios en todo el Este de Tennessee. Dios nos da todo
lo que tenemos. Incluso cuando queremos creer que
nuestros éxitos se deben a nosotros mismos, sabemos que es
Dios quien nos ha bendecido abundantemente con todo lo
que tenemos. Él siempre nos está dando. Su gracia siempre
está ahí para nosotros. Una manera en que podemos
demostrar nuestra gratitud es ofreciendo nuestro generoso
apoyo financiero a nuestra parroquia, a nuestra diócesis y a
la Iglesia en todo el mundo. Las donaciones que hacemos
hacen posibles ministerios, la educación y servicios que
afectan a miles de vidas. Por favor respondan al pedido del
Obispo Stika y hagan compromisos generosos. Todos los
compromisos pueden pagarse en cuotas. Muchas gracias
anticipadamente por su apoyo
