History Redeemed: Scott Hahn Reflects on the Third Sunday
in Ordinary Time
Today's Liturgy gives us a lesson in ancient Israelite geography and history.
Isaiah's prophecy in today's First Reading is quoted by Matthew in today's
Gospel. Both intend to recall the apparent fall of the everlasting kingdom
promised to David (see 2 Samuel 7:12-13; Psalm 89; Psalm 132:11-12).
Eight centuries before Christ, that part of the kingdom where the tribes of
Zebulun and Naphtali lived was attacked by the Assyrians and the tribes were
hauled off into captivity (see 2 Kings 15:29; 1 Chronicles 5:26).
It marked the beginning of the kingdom's end. It finally crumbled in the sixth
century B.C., when Jerusalem was seized by Babylon and the remaining tribes
were driven into exile (see 2 Kings 24:14).
Isaiah prophesied that Zebulun and Naphtali, the lands first to be degraded,
would be the first to see the light of God's salvation. Jesus today fulfills that
prophecy—announcing the restoration of David's kingdom at precisely the
spot where the kingdom began to fall.
His gospel of the Kingdom includes not only the twelve tribes of Israel but all
the nations—symbolized by the "Galilee of the Nations." Calling His first
disciples, two fishermen on the Sea of Galilee, He appoints them to be
"fishers of men"—gathering people from the ends of the earth.

Holy Souls In Purgatory
The wine, hosts, and tabernacle candle
may be offered in honor of a loved one for
a month.
THE WINE consecrated and distributed at all
Masses today has been offered for the spiritual
and temporal welfare of Efrain Roman.
THE CANDLES used today at all Masses have
been offered for the spiritual and temporal
welfare of Carlos Calderon.
THE HOSTS used today at all Masses have been
offered for the spiritual and temporal welfare of
Barbara Maran.
THE TABERNACLE CANDLE used today at all
Masses has been offered for the repose of the
soul of Eddy Carnevale.
They are to preach the gospel, Paul says in today's Epistle, to unite all
peoples in the same mind and in the same purpose—in a worldwide kingdom
of God.
By their preaching, Isaiah's promise has been delivered. A world in darkness
has seen the light. The yoke of slavery and sin, borne by humanity since time
began, has been smashed.
And we are able now, as we sing in today's Psalm, to dwell in the house of
the Lord, to worship Him in the land of the living.
"Come after me, and I will make you
fishers of men."

PARENTS WHO HAVE LOST A CHILD
Eastern New Jersey was part of the
Diocese of New York after 1808.
Bishop DuBois sent Father Pardow to
establish the first church in Newark,
St. John’s on Mulberry Street, in 1827.
St. Mary’s (now Newark Abbey) was
established for German-speaking
Catholics in 1842.
The needs of parents who have suffered the loss of a son
or daughter are unique. The Office of Family Life Ministries
of the Archdiocese of Newark sponsors support groups for
Parents Grieving the Death of a Child. The groups are led
by trained facilitators - parents who have personally
experienced the death of a child. Groups meet at:
St. Thomas the Apostle Church, Parish Center,60 Byrd
Avenue, Bloomfield, NJ on the First Wednesday of each
month at 7:30pm (July and August is 7:00pm) and
St. Peter the Apostle Church, Rectory Basement, 445 Fifth
Avenue, River Edge, NJ on the Third Monday of each
month at 7:30pm.
There is no fee to participate and pre-registration is not

Tercer Domingo Del Tiempo Ordinario
La historia redimida: Scott Hahn refleja sobre el 3er
Domingo de Tiempo Ordinario
La liturgia de hoy nos da una lección de geografía e historia israelita
antigua.
En el Evangelio de hoy, Mateo menciona la profecía de Isaías que aparece
en la primera lectura. Ambas citas buscan recordar la aparente caída del
reino eterno prometido a David (cf. 2 S 7,12-14; Sal 89; Sal 132, 11-12).
Ocho siglos antes de Jesús, la parte del reino donde vivían las tribus de
Zebulón y Neftalí fue atacada por los asirios y sus habitantes fueron
llevados al cautiverio (cf. 2 R 15,29; 1 Cr 5,26).
Esto marcó el comienzo del final del reino, que terminó desmoronándose
en el siglo VI antes de Cristo, cuando Jerusalén fue capturada por Babilonia y las tribus que quedaban fueron llevadas al exilio (cf. 2 R 24,14).
Isaías profetizó que Zabulón y Neftalí, las primeras tierras que fueron
degradadas, serían también las primeras en ver la luz de la salvación de
Dios. Jesús cumple hoy esa profecía, anunciando la restauración del reino
de David, precisamente ahí donde empezó a caer.
Su Evangelio del reino incluye no sólo a las doce tribus de Israel, sino a
todas las naciones, simbolizadas en la "Galilea de las naciones". Al llamar
a sus primeros discípulos, dos pescadores del mar de Galilea, los destina a
ser "pescadores de hombres".
Según nos dice San Pablo en la Epístola de hoy, los discípulos han de
predicar el evangelio para unir todos los pueblos en un mismo pensar y
sentir; en un reino mundial de Dios.
Mediante su predicación, la profecía de Isaías ha sido proclamada. Un
mundo en tinieblas ha visto la luz. El yugo de la esclavitud y el pecado,
cargado por la humanidad desde el inicio de los tiempos, ha sido
destrozado.
Como cantamos en el salmo de hoy, ya somos capaces de habitar en la
casa del Señor, de adorarlo en la tierra de los vivos.
