Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit
within you.
— 1 Corinthians 6:19a
From the Desk of Fr. Peter…
WATCHING FOR THE MESSIAH
Today’s Gospel story of John and his
disciples seeing and following Jesus sounds so
simple and casual, it’s easy to miss the significant
acts of faith that are made.
John points to Jesus: “Look,” he says, “there
is the Lamb of God.” John’s faith in Jesus is
evident, so evident that John’s disciples
immediately leave his side to follow this Jesus.
The two disciples make their own act of faith.
They follow Jesus, spend time with him, and are
quick to spread the good news of their discovery:
“We have found the Messiah.”
It is easy to forget that the expectations of
generations, the hopes of many ages of faithful
people were being fulfilled in these simple acts of
faith. The Lamb of God, the Messiah, foretold by
the prophets, had finally come. Nearly everyone
among the Jewish people was watching for the
Messiah back then; who in our own society
watches for signs of the presence of the Messiah
today?
JOY
The fullness of joy is to behold God in everything.

URGENT HELP NEEDED FOR THE
BEREAVEMENT MINISTRY.
“Death is hard. It makes all of us uncomfortable. It
makes us face our own mortality,”
The Bereavement Ministry is in urgent need of
volunteers who are interested in reaching out to those
who have suffered a loss in the family.
Bereavement ministry doesn’t do wake services or
funeral planning. Those functions are already
handled very well by the funeral home service.
“As part of the parish Bereavement Ministry you’ll
help them with picking a Mass reading and help by
assisting them in contacting the Music Director to
coordinate picking the desire music. If you are
interested in being a team member, and willing to
commit to serve during preparation and funeral mass,
please contact the parish office (619) 466-3209.

El Bautismo del Señor
Todos ustedes, los que tienen sed,
vengan por agua.
— Isaías 55:1
Del Escritorio del Padre Pedro:
EN BÚSQUEDA DEL MESÍAS
El relato del Evangelio de hoy en el que Juan y
sus discípulos ven y siguen a Jesús, suena tan
sencillo e informal, que fácilmente pasan
desapercibidos los importantes actos de fe que
ocurren.
Juan señala a Jesús: “Miren”, les dice, “este es el
Cordero de Dios”. La fe de Juan en Jesús es
evidente, tan evidente que los discípulos de Juan
inmediatamente se van de su lado y siguen a Jesús.
Los dos discípulos a su vez hacen un acto de fe.
Ellos siguen a Jesús, pasan tiempo con él, y no
demoran en compartir la buena nueva de su
descubrimiento: “Hemos encontrado al Mesías”.
Es fácil olvidar que las expectativas de
generaciones, las esperanzas de muchos siglos de
fieles se estaban cumpliendo en estos sencillos actos
de fe. El Cordero de Dios, el Mesías, anunciado por
los profetas, finalmente había llegado. Prácticamente
todo el mundo en el pueblo judío estaba a la
búsqueda del Mesías en esa época; ¿quién de nuestra
sociedad busca señales de la presencia del Mesías
hoy día?
LITURGIA DE LA PALABRA

de Dios en un formato más relevante a su edad.

Espíritu Santo que te sugiere cambiar y corregir tu vida. Al
utilizar la Palabra de Dios que te ayuda a arrepentirte, a
aceptar la misericordia de Dios, y de esta manera, comenzar a
ser la persona que Dios ha creado y querido que usted sea -un
santo a medias, pero bien encaminado a ser santo en plenitud.
