La vida no es justa, pero aun así buena. 2. La vida es demasiado corta para perder el tiempo odiando a alguien. 3. Tu trabajo no te cuidará cuando estés enfermo. Tus amigos y padres sí. Mantente en comunicación. 4. No tienes que ganar cada discusión. Puedes quedar de acuerdo en no estar de acuerdo. 5. Llora con alguien. Es más sanador que cuando lloras a solas. 6. Está bien enojarse con Dios. Él puede aguantarlo. 7. Haz las paces con tu pasado para que no arruine tu presente. 8. Está bien dejar que los niños le vean llorar. 9. No compare su vida a la de otros. Cada viaje por la vida es distinto. 10. Si una relación tiene que mantenerse secreto, no debe estar en ella. 11. Todo puede cambiar en un parpadear de ojos. Pero no te preocupes, Dios nunca parpadea. 12. Lo que no mata, engorda. 13. Nadie está a cargo de tu felicidad excepto tú. 14. Marque cada cosa que pueda considerar un desastre con estas palabras: “En cinco años, ¿esto será importante?” 15. Siempre elija la vida. 16. Perdónele todo a todos. 17. Lo que otros piensen de usted no es asunto suyo. 18. El tiempo lo cura casi todo. Dale tiempo al tiempo. 19. Por más buena o mala que sea una situación, lo cierto es que cambiará. 20. Cree en los milagros. 21. Dios te ama por ser quién es Dios, no por algo que hiciste o dejaste de hacer.

Page Two 4th Sunday in Ordinary Time 594 WE KNOW WHO YOU ARE! The Gospel according to Mark marks the beginning of the public mystery of Jesus where he reveals his teachings and his power over an “unclean” spirit. Trying very hard to understand what they had just witnessed, the multitude of people congregated described not only what had happened but also the manner in which it was done: Jesus teaches with authority, an authority that reaches limits over and above evil. What greatness this is that not only does he astonish the living but also chases away the evil spirit. Nevertheless, with all this the multitude is still not capable of identifying the source of this authority and power. The possessed one recognized Him and shouted “I know who you are—the Holy One of God!” Throughout the Gospel of Mark, on which we will reflect throughout this year, we continue to hear about the miracles of Jesus, with one persistent question, “Who is this man?” This question will continue to concern the people until the moment of his death on the cross, when another voice –having suffered- reveals Jesus’ identity: the Roman soldier watched as Jesus took his last breath and said in a loud voice, “Truly this man was the Son of God!” We can admire Jesus’ teachings. And why not? They have been of great influence in the western world and beyond. We can admire the miracles written in the Gospels. But, do we really understand and trust in the truth from He who has told us? Jesus is not only a “good man” or “the best of men”; He is the Holy One of God, the Son of God. If we truly understood Jesus’ identity we would not have so many problems or take so many wrong paths; we would not abandon our faith or much less our Church. If we had a deeper relationship with Him, nothing or no one could take away our happiness, salvation, health, or holiness. Pope Francis cited the words of his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, when he reminded us that, “Being Christian is not the result of an ethical choice or a lofty idea, but the encounter with an event, a person, which gives life a new horizon and a decisive direction.” We will have difficulties, storms, illnesses, and obstacles, but nothing should stand in our way. Let us continue to pray for each other so that all these fleeting things will not take away our new horizon that is permanent and eternal: our Eternal Life. My brothers and sisters let us remember that if we who follow Christ find things murky at times, how much more do those who do not know Him? The opportunity to be a live witness of Christ is unique. Remember your brothers and sisters in Christ, your neighbor, and remember to give a hand to those in need, don’t close off your heart to them or deny your service to them. By giving of yourself others may see the silhouette of Christ, which never leaves us, in you, and may understand what the soldier and those that were healed understood: Jesus is the Son of God, He is here in His Kingdom, our midst. Lord Jesus Christ, draw our hearts to your heart that we may know you as you are: the Holy One of God, the Son of God, our Savior and Lord, live and in our midst. Fr. Cesar Rubiano 594 01 February 2015 MEMORIAL OF ST. BLASÉ Tuesday, 3 February 2015 is the memorial of St. Blasé, Bishop and Martyr, who is venerated for the protection against ailments of the throat.

Page Three LETTURA DEL GIORNO AUTORITA’ DA DIO Secondo Mose’, il popolo decise che non voleva piu’ sentire la voce di Dio direttamente. Era troppo spaventosa. Perche’ Dio non poteva invece mandare maestri umani, profeti? Dio fu d’accordo, ma con una cautela. Il popolo doveva ascoltare quei maestri, perche’ loro parlavano in nome di Dio. Ma questo accordo aveva i suoi problemi, per loro e per noi. Come sappiamo che questo maestro viene da Dio? E se il maestro viene da Dio, sono tutte le parti dei suoi insegnamenti intese per me? Abbiamo la Chiesa e le scritture per aiutarci con queste domande, ma ci sono sempre dei dubbi. Quello e’ il potente significato della frase nel Vangelo di oggi: “Il popolo fu sorpreso dai suoi insegnamenti, poiche’ insegnava come uno che ha autorita’e non come gli scribi.” Il popolo sapeva che questo Gesu’ era autentico---veramente un maestro mandato da Dio. Lo sapevano da come lo sentivano. OLD PALMS We will be collecting old palms till February 7/8. Parishioners are asked to bring back your old palms to the church Masses. The palms will be burned for Ash Wednesday. Baskets will be placed near the baptismal font in the naves of ICC and SJC.

Please check this recording before venturing out in inclement weather. LENTEN REGULATIONS Here is what the Catholic Church in the United States asks of us as baptized Catholics: 1. The days of fast (only one meal) and abstinence (no meat) are ASH WEDNESDAY (18th February 2015) and GOOD FRIDAY (3rd April 2015) 2. The other Fridays of Lent are DAYS OF ABSTINENCE (No meat). Those between the ages of 18 and 59 are obliged to fast (only one full meal) as above. From the age of 14, people are also obliged to abstain (no meat: this obligation prohibits the eating of meat, but not eggs, milk products or condiments of any kind, even though made from animal fat). The obligation, the privilege really, of receiving the Eucharist at least once a year -- often called “Easter duty” --- for those in the state of grace should still be fulfilled during the period from the First Sunday of Lent, February 22nd to Trinity Sunday, May 31st, 2015. Save us, O Lord our God! And gather us from the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, and make it our glory to praise you. (Psalm 106 (105):47) 594 READING OF THE DAY AUTHORITY FROM GOD According to Moses, the people decided they didn’t want to hear God’s voice directly any more. It was much too frightening. Why couldn’t God send human teachers, prophets, instead? God agreed, but with a warning. The people had better listen to those teachers, because they spoke in God’s name. That arrangement, though, had its own problems, for them and for us. How do I know this teacher is truly from God? And if the teacher is from God, are all parts of the teaching meant for me? We have the Church and scripture to help us with those questions, but still there are always a few loose ends. That is the powerful significance of the sentence in today’s Gospel: “The people were astonished at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority and not as the scribes.” The people knew that this Jesus was authentic—truly a teacher sent by God. They knew it by hearing him. TODAY’S READINGS: First Reading: Deuteronomy 18:15-20 Second Reading: 1 Corinthians 7:32-35 Gospel: Mark 1:21-28 Jesus came as one who spoke in the name of the Lord, teaching with authority. Let us listen to his voice and adhere to him above anything else. From ORDO 2015 REFLECTION QUESTIONS OF THE WEEK ADULT: What are the evils in today’s world that you pray God will free us from? CHILD: Name some bad things that you pray Jesus will take away from our world. PARKING AT IMMACULATE CONCEPTION CHURCH If you attend mass at ICC, we remind you there is an ample parking lot entering from Division St with an easy access to the side ramp entrance. Please use this parking lot instead to allow visitors to park in the Chestnut Avenue one. Thank you for your support and collaboration. 594 1 de Febrero de 2015 Página Cinco ¡SABEMOS QUIÉN ERES! El evangelio de Marcos marca la inauguración del ministerio público de Jesús con una escena donde demuestra su enseñanza y su poder sobre un espíritu "impuro”. Tratando de comprender lo que han observado, la multitud reunida describen no solo los hechos sino la forma en cómo dirige su enseñanza: Él enseña con autoridad, y ésta es tal, que incluso alcanza los límites sobre el mal, qué grandeza la de su actuar que no solo asombra a los vivos sino que también aleja a los demonios. Sin embargo, con todo esto, la multitud no parece ser capaz de identificar la fuente de esta autoridad y poder. El poseído lo reconoce y grita “¡Yo sé quién eres - el Santo de Dios!" A lo largo del Evangelio de Marcos con el cual meditaremos a lo largo de este año, seguiremos escuchando acerca de los milagros de Jesús, y la pregunta persistirá: ¿Quién es este hombre? Esta inquietud continuará hasta el momento de su muerte en cruz, cuando otra voz –haciendo sufrir-, revelará la identidad de Jesús: el soldado romano que ve morir a Jesús dice en voz alta: "¡Verdaderamente este hombre era Hijo de Dios!" Podemos admirar las enseñanzas de Jesús. ¿Y por qué no? Ellas han tenido una gran influencia en el mundo occidental y mucho más allá. Podemos admirar los milagros descritos en los evangelios. Pero, ¿realmente comprendemos y permanecemos en la verdad de aquel que nos las ha comunicado? Jesús, no es simplemente un "buen hombre" o el " mejor de los hombres", Él es el Santo de Dios, el Hijo de Dios. Si verdaderamente comprendiéramos la identidad de Jesús, no correríamos en falsos escapes, no tendríamos tantos problemas, no abandonaríamos nuestra fe y mucho menos nuestra Iglesia…Si tuviéramos una relación más profunda con El, nada ni nadie nos quitaría nuestra felicidad, salvación, salud y santidad. El Papa Francisco, al citar las palabras de su predecesor, el Papa Benedicto XVI, nos recuerda que: "Ser cristiano no es el resultado de una decisión ética o de seguir una ideología, o un compromiso social, sino que es el encuentro con un acontecimiento transformador, con una Persona, que da un nuevo horizonte a la vida y una orientación decisiva a nuestras acciones". Tendremos dificultades, tormentas, enfermedades y obstáculos, pero nada nos podrá vencer. Seguimos orando unos por otros para que todo esto que es pasajero, no nos quite o aleje de nuestro horizonte que es permanente y eterno: Vida Eterna. Amigos y hermanos, recordemos que si las cosas en ocasiones son obscuras para nosotros, que seguimos a Jesús, ¿cuánto más no lo será para aquellos que no le conocen? La oportunidad de ser testimonio viviente de Jesús es única. Siempre acuérdate de tus semejantes, de tus vecinos, recuerda si puedes dar una mano aquellos que lo necesitan, no te niegues en tu corazón y en tus acciones al servicio, pues al hacerlo otros podrán ver en ti el rostro de Jesús que nunca nos deja solos, y podrán reconocer como el soldado o los curados lo hicieron, que Jesús el Hijo de Dios, está aquí y en medio de su Reino. Jesús, atrae nuestros corazones a tu corazón para poder conocerte tal como eres: ¡el Santo de Dios, el Hijo de Dios, nuestro Salvador y Señor, vivo y en medio de nosotros! Padre Cesar Rubiano.

Síganos en facebook www.facebook.com/olatrenton 594 LECTURA DEL DÍA AUTORIDAD DE DIOS De acuerdo a Moisés, el pueblo decidió que no quería ya más oír la voz directa de Dios. Era demasiado aterradora. ¿Por qué no les podía Dios enviar a maestros o profetas humanos? Dios aceptó pero con una advertencia. El pueblo debía escuchar a estos maestros, puesto que hablaban en nombre de Dios. Ese acuerdo, sin embargo, resultó en otros problemas, para ellos y para nosotros. ¿Cómo sé si este maestro es en realidad de Dios? Y si el maestro es de Dios, ¿están todas las partes de su enseñanza dirigidas a mí? Tenemos la Iglesia y la Sagrada Escritura para ayudarnos con todas estas preguntas, pero así y todo siempre quedan algunos cabos sueltos. Ese es el poderoso significado de la frase en el Evangelio de hoy: "Los oyentes quedaron asombrados de sus palabras, pues enseñaba como quien tiene autoridad y no como los escribas". El pueblo sabía que este Jesús era auténtico -verdaderamente un maestro enviado por Dios. Lo sabían con sólo escucharle.

Life isn't fair, but it's still good. 2. Life is too short to waste time hating anyone. 3. Your job won't take care of you when you are sick. Your friends and parents will. Stay in touch. 4. You don't have to win every argument. Agree to disagree. 5. Cry with someone. It's more healing than crying alone. 6. It's OK to get angry with God. He can take it. 7. Make peace with your past so it won't screw up the present. 8. It's OK to let your children see you cry. 9. Don't compare your life to others as each journey is different. 10. If a relationship has to be a secret, you shouldn't be in it. 11. Everything can change in the blink of an eye; don't worry, God never blinks. 12. Whatever doesn't kill you really does make you stronger. 13. No one is in charge of your happiness but you. 14. Frame every so-called disaster with these words 'In five years, will this matter?' 15. Always choose life. 16. Forgive everyone everything. 17. What other people think of you is none of your business. 18. Time heals almost everything. Give time, time. 19. However good or bad a situation is, it will change. 20. Believe in miracles. 21. God loves you because of who God is, not because of anything you did or didn't do. 22. All that truly matters in the end is that you loved. 23. If we all threw our problems in a pile and saw everyone else’s, we’d grab ours back. 24. Envy is a waste of time. You already have all you need. 25. Life isn't tied with a bow, but it's still a gift.” 594 01 February 2015 Page Eleven OUR LADY OF THE ANGELS PARISH ORGANIZATION & COMMUNITY PARISHES NEWS LADIES OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT: Next Corp.
