Mercy…
Reflections on the
Sunday Readings
“The Beating Heart of the Gospel.”
The central characters in today’s Scriptures could not
be accused of procrastination. The Word is a
springboard to action!
“How much I desire that the year to come will be steeped in
mercy, so that we can go out to
every man and woman, bringing the goodness and tenderness
of God,” (Pope Francis)
Isaiah’s call takes place in 739 B.C. The tiny kingdom
of Judah was threatened by the Assyrians, the people
are in no mood to hear the Lord’s message.
Nevertheless Isaiah jumps into the fray, saying, “Here
am I; send me!” (verse 8).
SAVE THE DATES !
Morning Reflections on
Jubilee Year Of Mercy
The impulsive Peter steps forward in the gospel. At first
Peter calls Jesus ”master.” After the miraculous catch
of fish, he changes the title to “Lord.” Jesus invites
Peter to become a different kind of fisherman. Matthew
and Mark write that the disciples must leave their nets;
Luke says they must leave everything to become
Jesus’ followers.
The Lord calls us today. Perhaps we must leave
behind a grudge, let go of a destructive habit, give
more of self to spouse and family, find more time for
prayer. The challenge is to join Isaiah and Peter in
saying, “Here I am, Lord, send me!”
The Stations of the Cross

Quinto Domingo Ordinario
BAUTISMOS
El evangelio de este domingo 5º del Tiempo Ordinario
refleja una experiencia semejante, aunque vivida en un
ambiente diverso. Ante una pesca desacostumbrada,
Pedro se arroja ante los pies de Jesús (Lc 5,8). Isaías
es de Jerusalén, Pedro es de Betsaida. No está en el
templo, sino en el mar. Ahora la gloria de Dios se
manifiesta en Jesús de Nazaret.
El próximo bautismo será el
sábado día 5 de Marzo. Por favor
se pide llenen la aplicación. Se
pide asistan a la plática que se
dará el día 17 de Enero y el día 28
de Febrero después de la misa de
las 9:30 de la mañana. Los bautismos son a las 3:30
de la tarde.
MIERCOLES DE CENIZA
El hermoso relato evangélico que hoy se proclama
subraya la dignidad de Jesús de Nazaret, la
exhortación a escuchar su palabra que nos envía a los
mares, y la promesa de una misión que ha de dar
sentido a la vida del discípulo. Todo ello apoyado en el
diálogo entre Jesús y Pedro.

“Rema mar adentro”. Jesús necesita la
colaboración de Pedro para su misión. Pero, al
aceptar esa ayuda, suscita la generosidad del
discípulo y hace posible un futuro inesperado.
 “Por tu palabra echaré las redes”. El discípulo ha
de estar dispuesto a reconocer su propio fracaso.
Pero hace bien al confiar en la palabra de su
Maestro.
 “Apártate de mí, Señor que soy un pecador”. La
arrogancia no es buena consejera del discípulo.
Descubrir la presencia del Señor sólo puede
suscitar asombro y humildad.
 “No temas: desde hoy serás pescador de
hombres”. La generosidad del Señor ofrece
apoyo a la debilidad del discípulo, al tiempo que
aprovecha su capacidad y la transforma.
El miércoles día 10 de Febrero
comienza la Santa Cuaresma. La
Iglesia nos da estos 40 días para
que todos los cristianos/católicos
hagamos una gran reflexión de lo
que significa para nosotros ser
seguidores de Jesús. También nos
da tiempo para reflexionar sobre
nuestras vidas de acuerdo con nuestra relación con
Jesús crucificado. Durante la cuaresma tendremos
tiempo para el sacramento de la reconciliación. El
padre Ryszard estará en el confesionario todos los
sábados a las 4 de la tarde y también los domingos
antes de la misa. La cecina se impondrá a las 7 de la
tarde, el miércoles día 10 de Febrero.
PLATICAS PARA LAS QUINCEANERAS
Las
tres
pláticas
obligatorias para las
quinceañeras comienzan
el miércoles 17 de
Febrero a las 6:30 de la
tarde. El miércoles 24 de
Febrero, a las 6:30 de la
tarde y el domingo 28 de Febrero. Todas las
quinceañeras que celebran este ano su fiesta deben
de asistir a estas pláticas.
