Reflections on the Readings
Today’s passages deal with both reception and
communication of God’s Word. Believers are partners
with God in the joint venture of spreading the message.
Believers are leaven to the world. The Word will have
great impact.
In the fifth century B.C., the author of Jonah addressed
an audience who demanded that God act according to
human standards. To make his point, the author writes
of a reluctant prophet who prefers to go west when
commanded to go northeast. Jonah finally gives in and
the entire populace is converted.
Convinced that the Second Coming of Jesus was
imminent, Paul exhorted his Corinthian Christians not
to get involved in a change of marital status. The
married were becoming single, the single were
marrying. Paul was wrong about the Second Coming
timetable, but he is still a good example of a believer
seeking to elaborate the meaning of the Word to
others.
Mark’s Jesus is in touch with God’s plan. The
expression “reign of God” connotes the royal program
to provide for the needs of the people, especially the
poor. Jesus calls for a radical change in thinking and
acting and a trusting acceptance of t he Good News.
Mark then describes the call of the first four disciples
and their total dedication to the Master. Their call is not
a private enterprise. To hear the Word is to share the
Word.
The barometer of our Christian values is our manner
toward one another. If our first thought after Sunday
Mass is being first out of the parking lot, then the Word
has not had much impact on us. The gospel opens us
to community.
Just a reminder… The next session
for the Family-Centered Faith
Formation is on Sunday, February
1st 2015. We will have breakout
sessions for parents/guardians and
children in grades Pre-K thru 8.
(Eighth Grade students will be
attending a retreat the following
week in place of this session) High School students in
grades 9 thru 12 are encouraged to work as
volunteers assisting the facilitators or attend the adult
session. Please arrive by 9:15am and proceed directly
to the designated classrooms. The session is from
9:30am to 10:45am. For more info… contact Diane

TERCER DOMINGO TIEMPO ORDINARIO
BAUTISMOS
Estas primeras páginas del evangelio de Marcos son muy
interesantes porque nos narran cómo Jesús fue
constituyendo el equipo de sus colaboradores inmediatos.
Se trata de un grupo de doce personas, número que hace
referencia a las doce Tribus de Israel, ya que ellos
constituirán el núcleo del nuevo pueblo de Dios. Esta
decisión del Señor pone de manifiesto que la comunidad es
el lugar donde se revela la plenitud del misterio de
salvación. La comunidad es, pues, el espacio teológico
donde se escucha la Palabra, se ora y se reciben los
sacramentos.
El Bautismo para Febrero es el
dia 14 a las 3:30 de la tarde. La
plática es el dia 8 de Febrero
después de la misa de las 9:30
de la mañana. Durante la
cuaresma no hay bautizos. El próximo bautismo es el
dia 11 de abril y la plática será el día 29 de Marzo.
•Desde los comienzos de su ministerio, el Señor nos enseña
que el Reino de Dios es un proyecto comunitario, en el cual
no hay lugar para los protagonismos individuales. La
comunidad es el lugar donde Dios se manifiesta y nos llama
a trabajar en su iglesia.
El jueves, Marzo 26, de 9 a 4 de la tarde el móvil de
mamografía de NOVANT HOSPITAL estará en San
Brendan para hacer mamografías GRATIS a todas las
mujeres de la parroquia que quieren participar. La
registración es recomendable y para registrarse llamen
al teléfono 910-721-1485.
¿Dónde busca Jesús a sus colaboradores más inmediatos?
Nos dice el evangelista Marcos que “Jesús caminaba por la
orilla del lago de Galilea”. Allí confluían los pescadores y los
viajeros que subían a las barcas para dirigirse a los caseríos
y pueblos del litoral. .
Jesús vio a Simón y a su hermano, Andrés, echando las
redes en el lago. Un poco más adelante, vio a Santiago y a
Juan, hijos de Zebedeo, que estaban en una barca,
remendando sus redes”. La mirada penetrante de Jesús
calibró la calidad humana y espiritual de estos cuatro
hombres, que los hacía totalmente diferentes a los demás
que transitaban por la orilla del lago, y valoró su potencial de
entrega y compromiso.
• ¿A qué los invita el Señor? La invitación es atractiva,
aunque imprecisa: “Haré de ustedes pescadores de
hombres”. Jesús utiliza un lenguaje que era familiar ya que
eran pescadores de profesión. La invitación sugiere un
proyecto de servicio a los demás.
• Poco apoco, Jesús fue constituyendo el equipo de sus
inmediatos colaboradores e inició con ellos un intenso
proceso de formación, que tuvo dos escenarios: un
escenario íntimo, en el que Jesús dialogaba con sus
seguidores más cercanos; y un escenario público, cuando
Jesús enseñaba en los pueblos que visitaba. .
• Durante los años que tuvieron el privilegio de compartir con
el Maestro, vivieron un proceso de maduración de la fe, en
cuanto fueron asimilando su doctrina. . Este proceso de
formación concluyó el día de Pentecostés, cuando los
Apóstoles recibieron el don del Espíritu Santo y
comprendieron el sentido profundo de las enseñanzas del
Maestro.

MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS
Muchas gracia al grupo que organizo el
concierto por la paz.
Fue algo
verdaderamente espiritual, íntimo y
lleno de alegría. Nuestro grupo hispano trabajo mucho y lo
hizo de maravilla. Los tres coros y los músicos nos dieron
dos horas que parecía estábamos en el cielo. Muchas
gracias a los niños hispanos que participaron y leyeron muy
claramente el mensaje de la paz. A todas las personas que
ayudaron en el concierto nuestras mas sinceras gracias..
