Páginas de registración están en el Nartex Lecturas Del Dia PRIMERA LECTURA (1 Samuel 3: 3-10,19) Ante la llamada insistente, Samuel responde pacientemente una y otra vez sin poner pretextos de cansancio ni de abandonos inútiles de su sueño. La disposición del futuro profeta es total hasta llegar a respnder con convicción: “Habla, Señor, que tu siervo te escucha”,; “aquí estoy, Señor, para hacer tu voluntad”. Gran ejemplo para nosotros. SEGUNDA LECTURA (1 Corinto 6: 13-15, 17-20) San Pablo nos recuerda que todo nuestro ser es “propiedad” de Dios, también nuestra parte corporal, de ahí que también en nuestro cuerpo hemos de buscar la gloria de Dios, pues - nos recuerda - somos templo del Espíritu Santo puesto que habita en nosotros. No es algo fuera de nuestro discipulado; debe estar integrado en nuestro seguimiento. EVANGELIO (Juan 1: 35-42) ¿Estamos en búsqueda? ¿Buscamos algo en nuestra vida? Andrés y otro discípulo de Juan siguen a Jesús cuando él lo señala como “el Cordero de Dios”. Jesús les pregunta qué buscan y les invita seguirles. Por el testimonio de Andrés, su hermano Simón acude también a Jesús y él le encarga su misión. La persona de Jesús es la respuesta a todo lo que andamos buscando. Encontrándole a él lo hemos encontrado todo. Adult Choir Every Sunday 11 AM Our choir director is seeking male members for our adult choir 18 & up.

Please call them. Midnight Musings / Pensamientos de Media Noche Talk About Mood Swings! Such a wonderful, peace-filled season as we heard: “O tidings of comfort and joy!” Angles sang. Shepherds and magi worshiped. Mary and Joseph cared for their child. God the Father spoke proudly at the Jordan baptism scene: “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased” (Mark 1:11). Then the honeymoon is over; harsh reality sets in, as John the Baptist announces: “Behold, the Lamb of God” (John 1:36). Nothing good happens to a lamb in the scriptures. “Like a lamb led to slaughter or a sheep silent before shearers, he did not open his mouth” (Isaiah 53 7), commented Isaiah about God’s Suffering Servant. God instructed Moses and Aaron about the Passover lamb: “Tell the whole community of Israel: On the tenth of this month every family must procure for itself a lamb, one apiece for each household... You will keep it until the fourteenth day of this month, and then, with the whole community of Israel assembled, it will be slaughtered during the evening twilight. They will take some of its blood and apply it to the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it” (Exodus 12:3). They also slaughtered lambs for sin offerings and peace offerings. When John called Jesus the lamb of God, he basically said: He’s a dead man! He is turning into a slaughtered sacrifice. We just celebrated his birth. Now the scriptures remind us that he was born so that he could die. The incarnation of the Word made flesh brought about an unusual exchange between God and humanity. As he became human, we gave God what he did not have– the ability to die. And he gave us what we did not have– the ability to live forever. The Lamb of God would not act alone. In the gospel today he starts calling his disciples. Like the youth Samuel in the Old Testament reading, they said yes to the call of the Lord. So do all of us today, when we choose to respond to Jesus, like the responsorial psalm repeats: Here am I, Lord; I come to do your will. Following the Lamb we will all share in his sacrificial way of life; generosity in living is required of all those who take Jesus seriously. Following him will including sharing his cross. But following the Lamb in a spirit of sacrifice will bring us to share with the Lamb his victory. “[Enemies…] will fight with the Lamb, but the Lamb will conquer them, for he is Lord of lords and king of kings, and those with him are called, chosen, and faithful” (Revelation 17:14). Yours in Christ, Hablando de Cambios de Humor Que maravillosa temporada llena de paz: “¡Oh palabras de confort y alegría”! Cantan los Angeles. Los pastores y magos alaban. María y José cuidan de su niño. Dios Padre habla orgulloso en el bautizo del Jordán: “Tú eres mi Hijo querido, mi predilecto”(Marcos 1: 11). Luego la luna de miel pasa, surge la triste realidad, como anuncia Juan el Bautista: “Ahí está el Cordero de Dios” (Juan 1: 36). Nada bueno sucede al cordero en las escrituras: “Como cordero llevado al matadero, como oveja muda ante el esquilador, maltratado, no abría la boca”(Isaías 53: 7), comenta Isaías sobre el sufrido Siervo del Señor. Dios instruyó a Moíses y Aaron sobre la pascua del cordero: “Digan a toda la asamblea de Israel: El diéz de éste mes cada uno se conseguirá un cordero o un cabrito para su familia, uno por casa. Si la familia es demasiado pequeña para terminarlo, que se junte con el vecino de casa; el animal se repartirá según el número de comensales y lo que coma cada uno. Lo guardarán hasta el día catorce del mes, y entonces toda la asamblea de Israel lo matará al atardecer. Con algo de sangre rociarán el marco de la puerta de la casa donde lo coman”(Exodo 12: 3). También mataban corderos como ofrenda por pecados cometidos y por la paz. Cuando Juan lo llamó el Cordero de Dios, él básicamente dijo: ¡Hombre muerto! El se convertirá en un sacrificio. Acabamos de celebrar su nacimiento. Ahora las escrituras nos recuerdan que él nació para morir. La encarnación de la Palabra hecha carne nos trae un intercambio inusual entre Dios y la humanidad. Al convertirse en humano, le dimos a Dios lo que no tenía - la abilidad de morir. Y El nos da lo que nosotros no tenemos - la abilidad de vivir eternamente. El Cordero de Dios no actúa sólo. En el Evangelio de hoy comienza a llamar a sus discípulos. Como en la lectura del joven Samuel en el Antiguo Testamento, que dice sí al llamado del Señor. Como todos nosotro hoy, cuando decidimos responder a Jesús, como dice el Salmo responsorial: Aquí estoy Señor, que se haga tu voluntad. Siguiendo al Cordero todos compartimos su sacrificado medio de vida; generosidad de vida se requiere para todos aquellos que toman a Jesús seriamente. Siguiéndole incluye compartir su cruz. Pero siguiendo al Cordero con espíritu de sacrificio nos dará el compartir la victoria del Cordero. “Enemigos...) lucharán contra el Cordero, pero el Cordero los derrotará, porque es señor de señores y rey de reyes, y los que él ha llamado son elegidos y leales” (Apocalipsis 17: 14). Suyos en Cristo,
