Tuition & Notary Public Mrs. Sandy Zaleski, ext. 404 Psalm 80 My Dear People, With the new liturgical year we will focus primarily on the Gospel of Mark in our Sunday Liturgy. This Gospel is believed to be the earliest and briefest description of the life of Christ and its title, THE BEGINNING OF THE GOOD NEWS OF JESUS CHRIST”. The whole text is only the beginning of the story which continues to unfold into our own time. Because it is so brief, only 16 chapters, it can be read straight through, but like a fine liqueur or chocolate, it deserves to be savored in small amounts. I want to encourage you to consider reading a short passage, perhaps with your morning or evening meal for some very lively table discussion with the family. This practice will also help you to become aware of how this same GOOD NEWS is unfolding in our own lives. Unlike any other reading, when the Scriptures are read, God also speaks. May we allow the Word of God to have ample space in our day that we may live lives that are both inspired and empowered by that Word. Fr. John Mis Queridos Feligreses, Con el nuevo año litúrgico nos centraremos principalmente en el Evangelio de Marcos en nuestra liturgia dominical. Este Evangelio se cree que es la descripción más temprana y más breve de la vida de Cristo y de su título, “EL COMIENZO DE LA BUENA NUEVA DE JESUCRISTO ". Todo el texto es sólo el comienzo de la historia que continúa desarrollándose en nuestro propio tiempo. Debido a que es tan breve, sólo 16 capítulos, que se pueden leer rápidamente, pero como licor fino o chocolate, que merece ser saboreado en pequeñas cantidades. Quiero animar a que consideren la lectura de un pasaje corto, tal vez con su desayuno de la mañana o por la noche para algunos para una conversación muy animada en la mesa con la familia. Esta práctica también le ayudará a tomar conciencia de cómo esta misma BUENAS NOTICIAS se está desarrollando en nuestras propias vidas. A diferencia de cualquier otra lectura, cuando las Escrituras se leen, Dios también habla. Qué Podamos permitir que la Palabra de Dios pueda tener un amplio espacio en nuestros días para que podamos vivir vidas que se inspiren y tenga fuerza en la palabra de Dios.
