INSTAGRAM: POSTING DANGERS One of the most popular mobile applications (apps) for photo sharing is called Instagram. Instagram allows members to digitally edit, upload and share photos and short videos with other members through the Instagram website, email, and other social media sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Tumbler, and Flickr—all with a single click. The biggest danger for young people is that the photos and videos that they are posting on Instagram are accessible to countless unintended viewers…which means the images can be viewed by anyone in the world.

If you know a couple with a long marriage, please nominate them for this honor. This annual search is sponsored by Worldwide Marriage Encounter. In addiƟon to honoring the longest married couple for the enƟre United States, recogniƟon will also be given to a couple from each state and territories who has achieved that disƟncƟon. In the case of the United States. For more informaƟon go to wwme.org Pagina Cinco Parroquia de Sta. Juana de Arco NOTAS DEL EVANGELIO… CORDERO DE DIOS “Este es el Cordero de Dios”. Escuchamos esta frase todos los domingos en la Misa pero es muy probable que muchos católicos no sepan quién la pronunció originalmente en la Biblia. A algunos les puede sorprender ver que aparece solamente en uno de los cuatro Evangelios y, después de que se la dice dos veces, no vuelve a aparecer. Juan Bautista es quien dice dos veces esta frase en el Evangelio según san Juan. En la lectura del Evangelio de hoy, Juan proclama que Jesús es el Cordero de Dios y entonces dos de los discípulos de Juan siguen a Cristo. Un poco más tarde Andrés, quien escuchó a Juan y siguió a Jesús, lleva a su hermano Simón para que reciba un nuevo nombre: Kefás, es decir Pedro. Si estudiamos a fondo estos versículos de la Biblia vemos la misión de todos los bautizados en el Cuerpo de Cristo: Siempre debemos proclamar nuestra fe en Cristo, para que otros lo sigan. Quizás no sepamos de qué manera la voluntad de Dios obrará en los que llevamos a Cristo (¿Podría Andrés conocer el destino de su hermano?), pero eso no es lo importante. Lo que importa es que nuestra misión constante como Iglesia (una, santa, católica y apostólica) es llevar a otras personas a Cristo. No buscamos recibir atención, gloria ni seguidores, toda la atención, la gloria y los seguidores son para el Cordero de Dios, que quita el pecado del mundo. TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Uno de los muchos títulos dados a Jesús en los Evangelios es el de Agnus Dei (Cordero de Dios). La imagen de un cordero no era extraña en la Palestina del primer siglo cristiano, pues se encontraban ovejas y pastores por todas partes. El cordero es la oveja de menos de un año. Es reconocido como símbolo de mansedumbre e inocencia en muchas culturas Fue Juan Bautista quien le dio ese extraño título a Jesús (Juan 1:36). La imagen del cordero despertaba en los judíos, incluidos Jesús, Juan Bautista y los discípulos, la memoria de los célebres eventos del Éxodo. Cada año las familias judías escogían un corderito y lo preparaban para sacrificarlo en la Pascua. La mitad de la carne del sacrificio se ofrecía a Dios y la otra mitad se la comía la familia, de esta manera establecían una comunión con Dios. Designar a Jesús como Agnus Dei, era reconocer que él quitaría el pecado y que con su propia carne establecería una comunión entre Dios y la humanidad. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos-González, OFM, © Copyright, J.

Una de las aplicaciones más populares para compartir fotografías teléfonos móviles se llama Instagram. Instagram permite que los miembros editen, descarguen y compartan digitalmente fotografías y videos cortos con otros miembros por medio del sitio web de Instagram, correo electrónico y otros sitios de los medios sociales como Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Tumbler y Flickr, todo con un solo clic. El mayor peligro para los jóvenes es que las fotografías y los videos que publican los jóvenes en Instagram pueden ser accesibles a un sinnúmero de espectadores a los cuales no se destinan…lo que significa que cualquier persona del mundo puede ver las imágenes.

Page Six St. Joan of Arc Parish SMALL CHRISTIAN COMMUNITIES Scripture Readings for January 25, 2015 Third Sunday in Ordinary Time First Reading: Jonah 3:1-5, 10 The Lord sent Jonah to the sinful city of Nineveh to warn them that he would destroy Nineveh in forty days. When the people of Nineveh heard the prophecy, they believed, and they fasted and put on sackcloth. The Lord, seeing their repentance, relented in his intention to destroy the city. Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 7:29-31 St. Paul advises us to live the life of God rather than the life of the world. Gospel: Mark 1:14-20 After John had been arrested, Jesus preached in Galilee. There he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets. He said to them, “Come after me and I will make you fishers of men.” They immediately abandoned their nets and followed him. Then he invited James and John and they immediately left their father, Zebedee, in the boat and followed Jesus. Reflection: January 18, 2015 Whole Community Catechesis The theme for next Sunday’s Gospel is “Fishers of Men” The reflection questions for the week are: Adults: What can I do this week to invite a friend or neighbor to follow Christ? Kids: How can I help a friend or classmate feel invited to follow Christ?
