St. Edward Catholic Church Fifth Sunday of Ordinary Time February 8, 2015 Let us understand the workings of God’s grace From an explanation of Paul’s letter to the Galatians by Saint Augustine, bishop The Picture above of parishioner, Thomas Colvin, was found on Bishop Michael Barber's Blog, where he also said: “I was so proud to see a large group from St. Edward’s parish in Newark — with their noticeable yellow t-shirts. “ Paul writes to the Galatians to make them understand that by God’s grace they are no longer under the law. When the Gospel was preached to them, there were some among them of Jewish origin known as circumcisers—though they called themselves Christians—who did not grasp the gift they had received. They still wanted to be under the burden of the law. Now God had imposed that burden on those who were slaves to sin and not on servants of justice. That is to say, God had given a just law to unjust men in order to show them their sin, not to take it away. For sin is taken away only by the gift of faith that works through love. The Galatians had already received this gift, but the circumcisers claimed that the Gospel would not save them unless they underwent circumcision and were willing to observe also the other traditional Jewish rites. The Galatians, therefore, began to question Paul’s preaching of the Gospel because he did not require Gentiles to follow Jewish observances as other apostles had done. Even Peter had yielded to the scandalized protests of the circumcisers. He pretended to believe that the Gospel would not save the Gentiles unless they fulfilled the burden of the law. But Paul recalled him from such dissimulation, as is shown in this very same letter. A similar issue arises in Paul’s letter to the Romans, but with an evident difference. Through his letter to them Paul was able to resolve the strife and controversy that had developed between the Jewish and Gentile converts. In the present letter Paul is writing to persons who were profoundly influenced and disturbed by the circumcisers. The Galatians had begun to believe them and to think that Paul had not preached rightly, since he had not ordered them to be circumcised. And so the Apostle begins by saying: I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting him who called you to the glory of (Continued on page 3) St. Edward Catholic Church Schedule for Holy Mass Horario de la Santa Misa 5:00 pm Saturday 5788 Thornton Ave. Newark, CA 94560 (510) 797-0241 En Español Clergy Rev.

After this there comes a brief introduction to the point at issue. But remember in the very opening of the letter Paul had said that he was an apostle not from men nor by any man, a statement that does not appear in any other letter of his. He is making it quite clear that the circumcisers, for their part, are not from God but from men, and that his authority in preaching the Gospel must be considered equal to that of the other apostles. For he was called to be an apostle not from men nor by any man, but through God the Father and his Son, Jesus Christ. CCD News Attention Faith Formation Families.

The music is sung in English as well as in various other languages and is accompanied by live musicians, such as the piano and cello. There are readings, prayer intercessions, silence, and an opportunity to venerate the cross. Taizé is an hour long and is a wonderful way to experience a peaceful, calming, and spiritually uplifting time of prayer. All are welcome and no experience is necessary.

O tema do sofrimento, da dor, da enfermidade está presente na liturgia deste 5º domingo comum desde a I leitura, como retrata tão bem o personagem Jó, que vive o tormento do sofrimento, do físico devido à doença até aquele moral, que nasce da perda dos afetos mais caros, dos bens até o afastamento dos amigos. Jó é a imagem do homem justo que sofre sem se revoltar. Claro, ele demonstra toda a amargura que ofusca o sentido de sua existência, mas ainda assim, na dor mais profunda, ele tem um fio de esperança na providência de Deus, que recolhe em suas mãos as suas lágrimas humanas, e no final do livro, transforma-lhes em alegria e bênção: “ele conforta os corações despedaçados, ele enfaixa suas feridas e as cura”, como reza o salmista (Sl 146). Pois é, com as suas mãos, Deus enfaixa as feridas do sofrimento humano. É acerca dessas mãos divinas que aliviam a dor humana que nos fala o Evangelho de hoje. Jesus deixa a sinagoga, onde havia ensinado com autoridade, libertando um homem “possuído por um espírito mau” (linguagem para mostrar a força que o maligno exerce na vida de uma pessoa), e vai com Tiago e João até a casa de Simão (Pedro) e André. Pois, depois de uma atividade tão intensa, como todo ser humano, Jesus precisava descansar e se alimentar; e assim, Pedro lhe oferece hospitalidade. Chegando lá, a sogra de Simão Pedro estava de cama com febre; poderíamos até considerar esta informação de pouca importância, mas o próprio fato de o evangelista ter colocado no relato e de que os discípulos apressadamente contaram o fato a Jesus, faz pensar a algo mais sério e inquietante. Jesus se aproxima, portanto, da anciã, segura a sua mão, ajudando-a a se levantar; e a febre desaparece; nenhuma palavra, só um simples gesto: o gesto das mãos, que ajudam àquela senhora enferma. O verbo que Marcos usa para descrever o gesto de Jesus para com a sogra de Pedro, “levantar”, é o mesmo usado para a ressurreição; ser curado por Jesus é muito mais do que receber uma cura física, é uma cura que leva a pessoa a uma vida renovada nele no dom de si e no serviço desinteressado ao próximo: “e ela começou a servi-los”. Missa Domingo V Do Tempo Comum O texto ainda nos diz que à tarde, “a cidade inteira se reuniu em frente da casa” de Simão Pedro onde Jesus estava hospedado e aí ele curou uma multidão de pessoas doentes e expulsou muitos demônios; é um gesto que claramente mostra o quanto Deus, em Cristo, está próximo à dor humana, curando-a, assumindo-a sobre si até a morte de cruz para vencê-la com a Ressurreição. O dia de Jesus é realmente intenso: em Cafarnaum, da presença na sinagoga para ensinar ao encontro com a multidão para curar, Jesus encontra também um tempo para rezar, ter um encontro pessoal com o Pai: “de madrugada, quando ainda estava escuro, Jesus se levantou e foi rezar num lugar deserto”. Na verdade, com esta informação, vemos a tensão que acompanha toda a atividade de Jesus. O conflito entre aquilo que ele deve cumprir porque o Pai lhe mandou e aquilo que as pessoas esperavam dele. Os habitantes de Cafarnaum queriam que ele ficasse o tempo com eles curando toda pessoa que aparecesse enferma, mas Jesus abandona a cidade para contrapor-se a errada interpretação da sua missão. As curas são sinais, são manifestações do poder e da bondade de Jesus, mas a sua vinda não tem como finalidade última estas curas, mas o anúncio da plenitude dos tempos, da chegada do Reino de Deus que se demonstrará de maneira sublime com a sua Ressurreição, ou seja, quando derrotar a morte. Assim, a acolhida justa à mensagem de Jesus não consiste em considerá-lo como um curandeiro, mas no dar ouvido ao seu convite, converter-se, ter fé e confiar incondicionalmente no poder de e na bondade de Deus. É ele quem toma a iniciativa de ir ao encontro das pessoas para pregar e expulsar toda a escravidão do pecado. -Pe Carlos Henrique Nascimento MINISTERIOS PARA A MISSA DOMINGO CELEBRANTE: Pe Antonio Reis HOSPITALIDADE: Maria Simas e Antonio Borba MESTRE DE CERIMONIAS: Daniel Silva MUSICA: Maria Clementina, Jose Carreiro, e João Silveira CANTICOS: Antonio Sousa, Isabel Reis, Rita Fonte, Magarida Filipe, Lucia Valdão, Filomena Vieira, Nasci mento Ferreira, e Lucia Martins LEITORES: 1a. leitura: Teresinha Rodrigues Salmo: Teresinha Rodrigues 2a.
