Jan. 25, 2015 Third Sunday of Ordinary Time St. Andrew Announcements Parish Giving Update Together we fund our parish and live our mission! DISCIPLES & APOSTLES “Come after me,” said Jesus, “and I will make you fishers of people.” Those are two functions, two sides of the same coin. Following the path of a master is the work of a disciple, student or apprentice. Going fishing for people, however, is the work of a person sent in the name of another. The Twelve were fishers of people for Christ Jesus. Are not we also both disciples and apostles for Christ Jesus? Yes. In his name we proclaim the Gospel of God. The time is now; God’s reign is breaking in! We proclaim that Good News in word and deed to all because we love them. Text, James A. Wilde, PhD © 2000, OCP. All rights reserved. Today’s Readings Jonah 3: 1-5, 10 1 Corinthians 7: 29 - 31; Mark 1: 14 - 20 I will make you fishers of people.

RECONCILIATION CHAPEL Before Vatican II the Sacrament of Reconciliation, at that time called the Sacrament of Penance, or confession, was associated with a small dark room where the penitent maintained anonymity. The priest also could not be seen, and the two spoke to one another through a screen. Since Vatican II churches have incorporated larger rooms known as reconciliation chapels where the priest and penitent can sit together, share Scripture and celebrate the sacrament, now known as reconciliation. This provides more of an opportunity for the penitent to ask questions and for the priest to offer counselling. THIRD SUNDAY IN ORDINARY TIME CYCLE B By Elaine Rendler-McQueeney, from Today’s Liturgy 2012 Today we journey with Jesus to Galilee as he calls the people to repentance. He invites James and John to join him and by the end of the story, they have radically changed their lives to follow him. Today’s readings provide yet another opportunity for the Rite of Welcoming the Candidates into the RCIA to take place. Also, see Paul Covino’s hospitable words about the Rite of Reception for baptized adults coming into the Catholic Church in his Ritual Notes on liturgy.com. An appropriate song after today’s Gospel and homily is “The Summons” (kelvingrove), addressing the call to discipleship and the cost. Not too slow, please—it’s dance-like. The entrance processional “Sing a New Song” (Psalm 98) has the same spirit as today’s entrance antiphon from a royal psalm (Psalm 96). Dan Schutte has eliminated the word Yahweh and provided a smooth revision of the text of this favorite. “Yahweh’s people dance for joy” has been modified to “Shout with gladness! Dance for joy!” Nice work, Dan! You are a blessing to us. (He is also a Today’s Liturgy reader.) Dan’s book, Walking the Sacred Path (ocp.org/21303), based on the Spiritual Exercises of Saint Ignatius of Loyola, can be used to assist parish councils, RCIA teams, prayer groups, and even individuals to deepen their relationship with Christ through a creative, contemplative approach. © 2011, OCP.

THE MEANING OF CONFIRMATION The meaning of confirmation has changed over the years. Originally it was celebrated as part of baptism, one of the parts of the initiation ritual. As the bishop became no longer the primary minister of baptism due to the large numbers of people, confirmation became separated from baptism and became the bishop’s confirmation of the baptism ministered by the priest. Gradually as it was celebrated later in life, further removed from baptism, it became thought of as a teenage right of passage, a change for the individual to make a personal commitment. With the Vatican II reinstatement of the catechumenate, the original order and meaning of the sacrament was restored with confirmation following immediately after baptism as a sacrament of initiation. In some countries the two sacraments were never separated, but have always remained linked.

I never understood that passage nor did I like it until, struck with polio as a young woman, I began little by little to realize that if I ever walked again, it would not be thanks to me, it would be thanks to everyone around me who formed the human chain that kept me human. When I could not move, they carried me. When I could not work, they found functions for me that justified my existence. When I could not find a reason for going on, they liked me enough to give me back a sense of human connectedness. When I could not cure myself, they cured me of the clay of my limits and turned them into life again. They taught me the glories of weakness. When I most wanted to be strong and like no other time in life found myself defined by my weaknesses, I began to understand the great questions of life. If I do not need other people, what is their own purpose in life, what is their claim on my own gifts when they need me as I have needed them? The moment I come to realize that it is precisely the gifts which I do not myself embody that make me claimant to the gifts of others—and they of mine—marks the moment of my spiritual beginning. Suddenly, creature-hood becomes gift and power and the beginning of unlimAlerta de acción referente a un coited personal growth. –from In Search of Belief by Joan Chittister, OSB municado del IRS por correo postal.
