HEALING MINISTRY
During Jesus’ ministry “he cured many who were sick with various diseases, and he drove out
many demons.” This is the case in today’s Gospel. Jesus fulfills the vision of Psalm 147: “He heals the
brokenhearted and binds up their wounds.”
Jesus knew, however, that he couldn’t possibly heal all the illness in the world. No matter how
many people he cured or how many hours he ministered, there always would be more suffering people
like Job who craved his healing touch. His primary mission was not to rid the world of all suffering.
His “purpose” was to preach the coming of the reign of God that heals, yes, but ultimately transcends
and transforms earthly suffering. With Paul, Jesus could have said, “Woe to me if I do not preach” that
good news.

GOD’S WORD TODAY
“I shall not see happiness again.” With these words, Job concludes his lament
to the Lord. Job was obviously in the depths of despair. His words echo the
way we can feel when we allow life’s struggles and disappointments to take
hold of us. The Lord Jesus, however, has something else in mind for us. The
simple story in Mark’s Gospel of the curing of Peter’s mother-in-law shows us
that the Lord wants to lift us up out of any despair that has set in. The Gospel
is good news for us. If today is a day when we are feeling particularly burdened by illness or disappointment, let us, like the townspeople in today’s
Gospel story, bring our cares and gather them at the Lord’s door. With hope,
let us be attentive to the saving power of God’s sacred word.

YOU ARE INVITED TO A CELEBRATION!!!
As a community, we are responsible for the formation of our Catechumens and candidates as
they prepare for the reception of the sacraments at the Easter Vigil. We invite you to participate in the celebration of the “Rite of Sending” which will be held on Saturday, February 14,
2015, at the 5:30pm mass. We have a group of youth and adults who will be “sent” to the
Bishop the following Saturday for the Rite of Election at St. Columban Church.
The text of the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA) indicates that the Rite of Sending
offers our parish the opportunity to express its approval of the catechumens concerning the
state of their formation and progress. We send them forth to the celebration of the Rite of
Election with the assurance of our blessings and prayers as they go forth to celebrate the rite
before Bishop Vann.
So, please continue with your prayerful concern of these that seek to be able to participate fully in the sacramental life of the Catholic Church.
Blessings, Donna Beam RCIA Director

Do You Have An Hour During Your Day For A Good Deed?
If so, the Age Well Senior Services Meals on Wheels program at St. Joseph Mission Hospital in Laguna
Beach is looking for Substitute or Permanent Volunteer Drivers. The commitment is approximately an hour
out of your day before noon (Monday through Friday) depending on the Meals on Wheels delivery route.
Permanent drivers volunteer regularly on a designated weekday(s) on a designated route, and substitute drivers are contacted by Age Well to “fill in” when permanent/regular drivers are unavailable. All deliveries are
made within Laguna Beach; and while transporting meals is the only driver requirement, many recipients are
homebound and do welcome conversation when you deliver meals.
If you have a current California Driver’s License, Vehicle Registration and Automobile Insurance, as well as
a warm smile and an open heart; Age Well Senior Services Meals on Wheels could use your help! If you are
interested in further details and/or becoming a driver, please contact Claudia Michaels at (949) 422-1247 or

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE
LA PALABRA DE DIOS HOY
Los textos sagrados que componen lo que llamamos Biblia fueron coleccionados, organizados y ordenados durante los primeros cuatrocientos años del cristianismo.
Fue durante el Concilio de Cartago (Siglo IV), que finalmente se canonizó (estableció el orden) la Biblia católica.
Los textos sagrados de la Biblia se han proclamado a lo
largo de los siglos en la celebración eucarística para nutrir
la fe de los creyentes. En 1969, la Iglesia católica estableció un nuevo Leccionario conteniendo los textos bíblicos
que se proclaman en la litúrgia. El Leccionario contiene
un gran número de textos de la Escritura, organizados de
una manera muy especial a fin de que estos textos sean
proclamados en las misas dominicales y en las feriales
(entre semana). El Leccionario está organizado de tal manera que si una persona asiste a misa diariamente durante
un período de tres años, escuchará casi todos los textos de
la Biblia. La proclamación de los Evangelios se realiza
mediante ciclos dominicales. Durante el Ciclo A, proclamamos el Evangelio de Mateo; el de Marcos durante el
ciclo B y el de Lucas durante el ciclo C. El Evangelio de
san Juan se proclama durante la Cuaresma y la Pascua.
Así mismo, el capítulo 6 de este Evangelio se incorpora al
Ciclo B, que es el de Marcos. El resto del Nuevo Testamento se proclama como segunda lectura, excepto durante la Pascua, mientras que la primera lectura se proclama
siempre del Antiguo Testamento, excepto durante la Pascua. No olvidemos el Salmo, que es una respuesta a la
Escritura.
—Fray Gilberto Cavazos-
“Mis ojos no volverán a ver la dicha”. Con estas
palabras Job concluye su lamento al Señor. Era
obvio que Job estaba profundamente
desesperado. Sus palabras son un eco de cómo
nos sentimos nosotros cuando dejamos que las
luchas y desilusiones de la vida nos abatan. Sin
embargo, el Señor Jesús tiene otros planes para
nosotros. La sencilla historia en el Evangelio de
Marcos sobre la curación de la suegra de Pedro
nos demuestra que el Señor desea sacarnos de
cualquier desesperanza en que estemos
hundidos. El Evangelio es una buena nueva para
nosotros. Si hoy es uno de esos días en que te
sientes particularmente agobiado por una
enfermedad o una desilusión, igual que sucedió
con la gente del pueblo en la historia del
Evangelio de hoy, pon todas tus preocupaciones
a los pies del Señor. Con esperanza, pongamos
atención al poder salvífico de la palabra sagrada
de Dios.

MINISTERIO DE SANACIÓN
Durante su ministerio, Jesús “curó a muchos
enfermos de diversos males y expulsó a muchos
demonios”. Así es el caso en el Evangelio de hoy.
Jesús cumple la visión del Salmo 147: “Él sana los
corazones destrozados y venda sus heridas.”
Jesús sabía, sin embargo, que nunca podría
sanar todas las enfermedades del mundo. Por mucha gente que curara o muchas horas que dedicara
al ministerio, siempre habría más personas afligidas como Job, ansiosos de su toque sanador. Su
misión principal no era la de erradicar todo sufrimiento del mundo. Su “obligación” era predicar la
venida del Reino de Dios que sana, sí, pero en último caso, trasciende y transforma todo sufrimiento
humano. Con Pablo, Jesús pudiera decir, “Ay de
mí si no anuncio” esa Buena Nueva.
