Yes No 6th Sunday In Ordinary Time February 15, 2015 WEEKLY CALENDAR Open to New Life On the one hand, there are suffering human beings like Job, slaves longing for the shade. On the other hand, there is God who cares about us, who heals the brokenhearted. Leprosy was a terrible disease in biblical times. Highly contagious, it was fatal, since there was no cure for it. The law could do nothing other than exclude lepers from participation in the life of the community. There was more to it than that. The Responsorial Psalm 32 is a reminder that in biblical times people often regarded sin as the cause of disease. Lepers were therefore sinners, and the community excluded them from its worship. In a theocracy such as Israel, exclusion from the temple was a fate worse than death. Jesus enters the scene as the healer of lepers. Those for whom the law offers no hope find in Jesus their savior, their key to re-entry into the human community. We have our own ‘lepers’ today. They are the wretched people of the world’s slums, the one’s dying of AIDS, the ones sitting on death row. The law of society has nothing of hope to offer them. Their only hope is in the “great prophet [who] has appeared among us,” and in those followers of Jesus like Paul, “seeking not my own advantage, but that of the many.” The mystery of the human condition is such that, in one way or another, all will face pain, reversal, and, ultimately, the mystery of death itself. Seen through the eyes of faith, however, this mystery is not closed in upon itself. Through sharing in the cross of Christ, human suffering and pain have a redemptive meaning and goal. They have the potential of opening a person to new life. They also present an opportunity and a challenge to all, calling us to respond to suffering just as Jesus did - with love and care.

TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE Jesús manifiesta su poder mediante el perdón de los pecados (Marcos 2:1-12). Por medio de la reconciliación con Dios, Jesús sana a los enfermos, marginalizados y hasta sus propios enemigos. Este poder de perdonar pecados Jesús mismo lo encarga a su Iglesia, infundiendo su Espíritu sobre los primeros discípulos (Juan 20:22-23). Según el Símbolo (Credo) de los Apóstoles, los cristianos creemos en el "perdón de los pecados". Esta creencia se relaciona con creer en el Espíritu Santo, la Iglesia, la comunión de los santos, la resurrección del cuerpo y la vida eterna. En el perdón de los pecados, el Espíritu Santo manifiesta su continua presencia y acción en la Iglesia y comunión de los santos. Quienes reciben el perdón de los pecados mediante la celebración del Bautismo o del sacramento de la Reconciliación, están preparados para la resurrección y la vida eternal. El perdón de los pecados manifiesta el poder de Cristo, del Espíritu Santo y de la Iglesia. Los cristianos estamos llamados al perdón; perdonando, así como deseamos ser perdonados. Perdonando, como Jesucristo. --Fray Gilberto Cavazos-Glz, OFM, Copyright (c) J. S. Paluch Co. DIA DE LOS PRESIDENTES La oficina va a estar cerrada en lunes 16 de febrero, como es usual.

When a beggar asked for alms, he gave him everything he had earned. When his companions asked if he was marrying, "Yes, a fairer bride than you have ever seen... My ‘Lady Poverty’.” He lived as a beggar. He took to nursing lepers. When Christ said to him, "Go and repair my house," he took cloth from his father's store to buy materials, and restored a ruined chapel. When his father charged him with theft, he said, “I return everything you have given me,” and publicly stripped off all his clothing. Clad in a rough garment, barefoot, without staff or coin, he preached repentance. He and his brothers lived a simple life always cheerful and full of songs, yet making a deep impression upon their hearers by their transparent lives. He spent much time in lonely places, asking to share in the love and sacrifice of Jesus. Finally Francis was granted the stigmata, the wounds of Christ, with whom he had become united. Blessed are the pure of heart, for they shall see God. Our next Pax Christi Friday evening is in February.

You can be of significant help in his effort. Pope Francis and the Synod Fathers have sought this input from all members of the Church, all levels, all walks of life experience. A questionnaire has been created that you are asked to fill out on line in the next week. It is available in both English and Spanish and can be found at: www.oakdiocese.org/survey.
