However, sometimes when making decisions I feel as though I am lacking something. I feel the need to make sure that my decisions are right and good. Is that bad? In reality, I think it is not. This type of experience is part of our life. We must encounter them with sureness. A story that illustrates this situation is that of Jonah. At the beginning, he is doubtful, but finally he makes his decision and goes to Nineveh to preach the Good News. His strength and response are blessed with conversion and salvation. Have we heard the call of God? What decisions have we already taken? Today the Gospel tells us that this day is the appropriate time, “time of fulfillment” (Mk 1:14). Think in someone who is fighting to live a good life and trying to do good to others, think, for example, in the Holy Father who is travelled to the Philippines, he left the comfort of the Vatican and went to be with the people, sharing the joy of the Gospel and celebrating the Eucharist, renewing the minds and hearts of all those to lead them to make a good and wise choice, to choose Jesus Christ. Have you heard the call of God in these days? What is your response? Doubt and insecurity are frequent occurrences on the road to wise decisions. We have to confront them in the name of Jesus and press forward, “the time of fulfillment” (Mk 1:14). You can send your comments to this address: [email protected] Fr. Victor DE PARTE DE PADRE VICTOR: Me encanta tomar decisiones porque me siento mas dueno de mi mismo, pero a veces como que falta algo mas, necesito asegurar que mi decision es segura y buena. Es malo esto? En realidad no. Este tipo de experiencias son parte de nuestra vida. Hay que enfrentarlas con seguridad. Una historia que ilustra esta situacion es la de Jonas. Al principio esta dudoso, pero finalmente hace su decision y se va a Ninive a predicar la Buena Nueva. Su esfuerzo y respuesta son bendecidos con la conversion y la salvacion. . Hemos escuchado el llamado de Dios? Que decisiones hemos tomado ya? Hoy nos dice el evangelio que este dia es el tiempo apropiado, ‘’time of fulfillmet’’ Mk. 1, 14. Piensa en alguien que esta luchando por vivir bien y hacer bien a otros, piensa por ejemplo en el Santo Padre que anda de viaje por Filipinas, ha dejado el confort del Vaticano y ahora con la gente comparte el gozo del evangelio y celebrando la Eucaristia renueva las mentes y los corazones de todos para llevarlos a hacer una buena y sabia opcion por Jesucristo. Has escuchado el llamado de Dios en estos dias? Cual es tu respuesta? Como te digo la duda y la inseguridad con frequencia son caminos para sabias decisiones. Hay que enfrentarlas en nombre de Jesus y adelante, ‘’el tiempo se ha cumplido’’ Mk. 1, 14. Puedes enviar tus comentarios a esta direccion: [email protected] Fr.

Jesus says “Come after me…” As I thought about this, I thought “How I can do this every day?” “How can I follow Jesus, and follow the ways of Christ?” How is this even possible when the first thing to think about in the morning is all the tasks for the day, week or month? Then, what about all the projects to start or complete, all people that need visited. It is too much to think of all the duties to be done, the work that needs accomplished, family and friends that need tended to. So I decided to start my day in a different way. For me the way to start my morning is to first say “Good morning, Jesus” “Thank you for this day, help me to do your will and follow your way today.” Then I pray the Morning Prayer: O Jesus, through the Immaculate Heart of Mary I offer Thee my Prayers, works, joys and sufferings of this day for all the intentions of Thy Sacred Heart, in union with holy sacrifice of the Mass throughout the world, in reparation for my sins, for the intentions of all our associates, and in particular for the general intention recommended this month. If I give every day to God, if I can be humble enough to know God will give me this day all He wants me to accomplish and if I strive to do everything with love and joy I will be doing my best to Follow His Way. Jenny El evangelio de hoy habla de seguir a Jesús. Jesús dice: “ven y sígueme. Mientras pensaba en esto, pensé “¿cómo puedo hacer esto todos los días”. ¿Cómo puedo seguir a Jesús, seguir los caminos de Cristo?. ¿Cómo es esto posible esto cuando la primera cosa que pensamos en la mañana es lo que tenemos que hacer durante el día, semana o mes? Entonces, ¿qué pasa con todos los proyectos que tenemos que iniciar o completar, todas las personas que necesitan ser visitadas. Es demasiado como para pensar en todos los deberes por hacer, el trabajo que hay que terminar, familiares y amigos que necesitan ser atendidos. Así que decidí empezar mi día de una manera diferente. Para mí, la manera de empezar mi mañana es primero diciendo “Buenos días, Jesús” “Gracias por este día, ayúdame a hacer tu voluntad y seguir su camino hoy”. Entonces le pido en la mañana: Oh Jesús, a través del Inmaculado Corazón de María Te ofrezco mis oraciones, obras, alegrías y sufrimientos de este día por todas las intenciones de tu Sagrado Corazón, en unión con el sacrificio santo de la Misa en todo el mundo , en reparación por mis pecados, por las intenciones de todos los que se encomiendan a nosotros, y en particular por la intención general recomendada este mes. Si doy todos los días a Dios, puedo ser lo suficientemente humilde para saber que Dios me dará el día de hoy todo lo que Él quiere que logre y si me esfuerzo por hacer todo con amor y alegría voy a hacer mi mejor esfuerzo para seguir su camino.

We go to serve, teach, share, celebrate and live with the people of Mexico. Our team is about six people, but it’s really our whole parish that goes to this mission. So how can you be part of the mission? It’s so simple! You can pray for us. You can offer a sacrifice for the mission. And you can make a donation. Starting this weekend you have the opportunity to donate to the mission in a very special way. Each of the people attending mission are paying their own expenses, but you can help us to bring food and clothing to the people of Mexico. After Masses (or at the parish office anytime during the week), you can stop by and purchase a shirt, a pair of pants, or some bread and fish. Each of these symbolizes clothing or food, which we will purchase in Mexico with the donated money and give to the people in the towns we are serving. Each item is a donation of $5. Your name (or the person in who’s name you would like to make the donation) will be written on the item and posted on the board. You will also receive a prayer card so that you can continue to pray for the mission as we prepare. The donations for clothing and food will be taken until March 22nd. Participate with us in serving, teaching, sharing, celebrating, and living with the people of Mexico. LENT KERYGMA SERIES The “Three Rs of Faith” This Lent, in all the weekend Masses, we as a parish will be preparing for Easter by “going back to basics”. Each Sunday during Mass we will preach and teach on one of the five elements of the Kerygma. The “Good News” for us is that it will help us to understand the basic Gospel message – almost like a review of the “Three Rs of Faith”, so we can be more rooted in our faith and it’s fundamental message. Because it is the fundamentals of the faith, it is the perfect time for others to come to faith. Therefore, we need to invite our friends and family members to come during Lent so they can understand why Jesus and faith matters. We will be beginning this series the weekend of February 21/22 after Ash Wednesday. Plan on making it each weekend during Lent to allow the basic message of Salvation to impact your life. In addition, invite your friends and family members to go with you so that they also might come to appreciate the real Gospel of Jesus and salvation. Now is the time to commit and invite. Lent will be here in about a month. EL KERYGMA DURANTE CUARESMA Los "tres R de la Fe" Esta Cuaresma, en todas las misas del fin de semana, nosotros como parroquia estaremos preparándonos para la Pascua "volviendo a lo básico". Cada domingo durante la misa vamos a predicar y enseñar cada uno de los cinco elementos del Kerygma. La "buena nueva" para nosotros es que nos ayudará a entender el mensaje básico del Evangelio - casi como una revisión de las "tres R de la Fe", para que nuestra fe pueda ser más arraigada en su mensaje fundamental. Debido a que son los fundamentos de la fe, es el momento perfecto para que otros vengan a la fe. Por lo tanto, tenemos que invitar a nuestros amigos y miembros de la familia a venir durante la Cuaresma para que puedan entender por qué son importante Jesús y la fe. Estaremos comenzando esta serie del fin de semana de febrero 21y 22 después del Miércoles de Ceniza. Planea asistir a misa durante cada fin de semana durante la Cuaresma para permitir que el mensaje básico de la Salvación llegue a tu vida. Además, invita a tus amigos y familiares para venir contigo a fin de que también pudieran llegar a apreciar el verdadero Evangelio de Jesús y de la salvación. Ahora es el momento de comprometerse e invitar. Cuaresma comenzará el mes próximo .
