Dear Parishioners, In our second reading this weekend, St. Paul speaks of an obligation that has been imposed on him, the obligation to preach the gospel. He obviously took this obligation very seriously, dedicating his life to spreading the name of Jesus. So if there were ever an expert on preaching the gospel, St. Paul would certainly be one, and in our second reading, he gives us a little explanation of what he has found effective as he goes about spreading the gospel. He says to the weak, he became weak, to win over the weak; to the Jews he spoke as a Jew to win over the Jews; to the Gentiles he spoke as a Gentile to win over the Gentiles. He apparently was involved in many different circles, and in each one, he adjusted his witness accordingly in order to attract as many as he could to his saving message. We can all identify with his situation. We speak and behave in one manner with our family, in another manner with our friends, in another manner during our sports or other extracurricular activities, and in yet another manner at work. But in each of these circles, we are still under the same obligation that St. Paul was under: to preach the gospel, and woe to us if we do not preach it. Now that doesn’t mean being a pain. Just as St. Paul instructs us, we adjust our preaching to our audience, we find the most effective way to present our faith to others in order to make it attractive to them. That is an obligation that we are always under; there is no situation we can walk into where we check our faith at the door. No matter where we are or who we’re with, we do not have license to spread gossip, to put others down, to cheat to get ahead, etc. In fact, our refusal to participate in such things when others are doing them is often times the most effective witness we can give to them. We show them that they can play sports without debasing themselves and others with foul language and crude humor, that you can have a close group of friends without putting others down. The obligation we have been given by God is to show the world what it means to be faithful to our Lord while living our daily lives. And just like St. Paul, we do this in order to ensure that we will have a share in the gospel we preach. That is our reward, and it is worth what the Lord asks of us. Let us resolve to be that witness God asks us to be, and hope for that eternal reward He has promised us. –Fr. Liekhus A Listening Presence Everyone at times has difficulties and needs a caring companion who will listen empathize and be a reminder of a caring faith community. BeFriender ministry is not a ministry of “doing” but of “being.” BeFrienders provide care through a listening presence to anyone experiencing grief, loss, transition or other cares. To request a visit, contact Mary Fran Karanikolas, Pastoral Minister at (952) 935-5536.

Padre James Liekhus (Padre Jim) 952-935-5536 www.stgabrielhopkins.org V Domingo Ordinario “B” MINISTERIO DE SANACIÓN Durante su ministerio, Jesús “curó a muchos enfermos de diversos males y expulsó a muchos demonios”. Así es el caso en el Evangelio de hoy. Jesús cumple la visión del Salmo 147: “Él sana los corazones destrozados y venda sus heridas.” Jesús sabía, sin embargo, que nunca podría sanar todas las enfermedades del mundo. Por mucha gente que curara o muchas horas que dedicara al ministerio, siempre habría más personas afligidas como Job, ansiosos de su toque sanador. Su misión principal no era la de erradicar todo sufrimiento del mundo. Su “obligación” era predicar la venida del Reino de Dios que sana, sí, pero en último caso, trasciende y transforma todo sufrimiento humano. Con Pablo, Jesús pudiera decir, “Ay de mí si no anuncio” esa Buena Nueva. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Los textos sagrados que componen lo que llamamos Biblia fueron coleccionados, organizados y ordenados durante los primeros cuatrocientos años del cristianismo. Fue durante el Concilio de Cartago (Siglo IV), que finalmente se canonizó (estableció el orden) la Biblia católica. Los textos sagrados de la Biblia se han proclamado a lo largo de los siglos en la celebración eucarística para nutrir la fe de los creyentes. En 1969, la Iglesia católica estableció un nuevo Leccionario conteniendo los textos bíblicos que se proclaman en la litúrgia. El Leccionario contiene un gran número de textos de la Escritura, organizados de una manera muy especial a fin de que estos textos sean proclamados en las misas dominicales y en las feriales (entre semana). El Leccionario está organizado de tal manera que si una persona asiste a misa diariamente durante un período de tres años, escuchará casi todos los textos de la Biblia. La proclamación de los Evangelios se realiza mediante ciclos dominicales. Durante el Ciclo A, proclamamos el Evangelio de Mateo; el de Marcos durante el ciclo B y el de Lucas durante el ciclo C. El Evangelio de san Juan se proclama durante la Cuaresma y la Pascua. Así mismo, el capítulo 6 de este Evangelio se incorpora al Ciclo B, que es el de Marcos. El resto del Nuevo Testamento se proclama como segunda lectura, excepto durante la Pascua, mientras que la primera lectura se proclama siempre del Antiguo Testamento, excepto durante la Pascua. No olvidemos el Salmo, que es una respuesta a la Escritura.—Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co. 8de febrero del 2015 LAS LECTURAS DE HOY Primera lectura — Job declara que la vida en la tierra es monótona, miserable y triste (Job 7:1-4, 6-7). Salmo — Alaben al Señor, que sana los corazones quebrantados (Salmo 147 [146]). Segunda lectura — Pablo dice que no tienen otra alternativa sino la de predicar el Evangelio (1 Corintios 9:16-19, 22-23). Evangelio — Después de sanar a muchos enfermos y de expulsar a los demonios, Jesús predica la Buena Nueva (Marcos 1:29-39).
