Pastor’s Message~ Mensaje del Párroco

Reflections ~ Reflexiones

Listening To The Heart: Karl Rabeder grew up poor in Austria. He made a fortune in business and lived the "good life," with two mansions, gliders, luxury cars, and world travel. Visiting South America and Africa, Rabeder saw the poverty of the people there and felt uncomfortable with his riches. On a Hawaiian vacation he felt no pleasure in anything he had and decided to redirect his wealth. He sold his business, raffled off his Alpine mansion, and sold all his other property. The $5 million proceeds will go into his new charity, providing microloans to people in Latin America. Microcredit organizations charge very low interest and have a high success rate in loan repayment. Borrowers who are too poor to use banks are able to start a small business and begin to lift their families out of poverty. Rabeder is relieved that he finally listened to the promptings of his heart. Don't wait to be a millionaire; make a difference now. Copyright©2010,WorldLibraryPublications.Allrightsreserved

Living Stewardship Now: Bring hope and help to the poor. Close to home: Volunteer with a literacy organization, a job seekers' network, a food bank, or the Saint Vincent de Paul Society. Far away: Support the work of Catholic Relief Services, Kiva Microfunds, or Heifer International. Copyright(c)2010,WorldLibraryPublications.Allrightsreserved.

A La Escucha Del Corzón: Karl Rabeder se crió en Austria dentro de la pobreza. Más tarde hizo una fortuna en los negocios y vivió su "buena vida", con mansiones, planeadores, coches lujosos y viajando alrededor del mundo. Una vez, visitando Suramérica y África, vio la pobreza de la gente y se sintió incómodo con sus riquezas. Durante unas vacaciones por Hawai no sintió placer en nada de lo que tenía y decidió hacer algo diferente con su fortuna. Vendió su negocio, rifó su mansión de los Alpes y todas sus otras propiedades. Los $5 millones que sacó de sus ventas serán destinados a su nueva obra de caridad, proporcionando micro-préstamos a las personas en Latinoamérica. Las organizaciones de micro-préstamos cargan intereses muy bajos y su promedio de cobro en los préstamos es muy alto. A los prestatarios que son muy pobres para ir a los bancos se le abren las posibilidades de comenzar su pequeño negocio y empezar a sacar a su familia de la pobreza. Rabeder se siente liberado por haber escuchado por fin los dictados de su corazón. No esperes a ser millonario; haz tu parte y marca una diferencia ahora. .

GGOOSSPPEELL MMAATTTTHHEEWW:: 55:: 11--1122 Can you imagine a series of commercials telling people that the way to be truly happy is to be hungry for justice, poor in spirit, and single-hearted? Viewers might well wonder where these strange messages are coming from. These and the other happiness guidelines, or Beatitudes, come from Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. He wants his disciples to walk the path of littleness, of mercy, and of forgiveness. The Beatitudes are a great challenge and an even greater promise of reward. If we live by them, we will be happier right now? as well as in eternity. 1.) Jesus knew that life, perhaps especially life as a Christian, could be difficult. He knew that there were things to be sorrowing about, that people needed mercy, that conflicts and persecutions would come. In all of these situations, Jesus tells us, we are blest. And, if we are merciful, try to make peace, and try to be holy, we will be consoled and rewarded not with riches, or power, or influence but by God, by joy, by peace. Do we want this reward? Would we rather have riches or power? How can we open ourselves to God, joy, and peace?

GGOOSSPPEELL MMAATTEEOO:: 55:: 11--1122 Imaginese una serie de comerciales anunciando que para llegar a la ser realmente felices tienen que tener hambre de justicia, ser pobres en el espíritu, y limpios de corazón. Todos se preguntarían de donde se originan estos extraños mensajes. Estas y otras pautas para encontrar la felicidad provienen del sermón que Jesús dió en la montaña conocido como “las Bienaventuranzas”. Él quería que sus discípulos fueran por el mundo con sencillez, misericordia y dispuestos a perdonar. Las Bienaventuranzas postran un gran desafío y al mismo tiempo nos prometen una recompensa. Si vivimos de acuerdo a ellas, ¿Vamos a ser felices inmediatamente y para siempre? 1.) Jesús sabía que la vida, y especialmente la de los Cristianos, podría ser muy difícil. Él sabía que surgirían situaciones por las que iban a sentirse afligidos, que necesitarían misericordia, y que habría conflictos y persecuciones. Y, sin embargo, en todas estas circunstancias Él nos dice que estamos bendecidos. Y si somos misericordiosos y buscamos la paz y la santidad, no obtendremos poder, riquezas o conexiones, sino más bien obtendremos paz, y alegría como recompensa. ¿Queremos esta recompensa? ¿O preferiríamos poder y riquezas? ¿Cómo podemos abrirnos a la alegría y la paz del Señor?

TTrreeaassuurree FFrroomm OOuurr TTrraaddiittiioonn:: Until very recent decades “Holy Thursday” and “Good Friday” were centered on personal pious devotions, not public liturgy. In urban America, at least in cities with a significant Catholic population, Holy Thursday was about veneration of the Blessed Sacrament. People were encouraged to walk to seven churches for a “visit” to each parish’s repository, a kind of temporary tabernacle on a side altar, closer in proximity to the faithful than the usual tabernacle on the distant high altar. On Good Friday, the most popular form of devotion was the Stations of the Cross, or a three-hour program of word and preaching beginning at noon. The Holy Thursday seven-church hike was a way of participating in a custom of the city of Rome. Traditionally, each day in Lent was assigned to a particular parish church or basilica in the city. Each week of Lent thus had seven churches, and pious people tried to get to each one of them. The pilgrimage was a symbol of unity and also the journey of faith. Originally, the pope would go to each place for a liturgy, but political strife removed the pope from Rome in 1305. With the papacy relocated in France, the custom ceased until Pope Leo XIII expressed interest in restoring it in 1900, and Blessed John XXIII fully restored the custom in 1959. By the time Pope Leo began to revive the custom, many American cities had enough parishes and monasteries that the faithful could vicariously participate in the revived tradition of stational liturgies by a very long walk! —Rev.JamesField,Copyright©J.S.PaluchCo. 2244 HHoouurrss ooff PPrraayyeerr ffoorr VVooccaattiioonnss:: Join us in praying for vocations to the priesthood and consecrated life on February 4 & 5.

TThhee CChhoosseenn RReemmnnaanntt:: Zephaniah is one of the least-known of the Old Testament prophets. He speaks in today’s first reading of impending judgment. But the Lord will leave a “remnant” in Israel. This image of a remnant, or remainder, was to become vital to both Judaism and Christianity. Paul’s letter to Corinth makes obvious his deep concern for the Christians there. They are too self-confident, he says, too sure of themselves. He admonishes them to remember that Christ has given them all they have. Today’s Gospel comprises the opening of Jesus’ “Great Sermon.” As God gave Moses the law on Sinai, so now Jesus gathers his disciples on a hillside to teach them the new law. Each of these Beatitudes contrasts the humiliation of the present with the glory of the future: poverty vs. the riches of God’s kingdom, hunger for holiness vs. fulfillment in the Spirit, persecution vs. the reign of God. Jesus is here speaking to God’s chosen “remnant.” Copyright©J.S.PaluchCo.,Inc.

EEll RReessttoo EElleeggiiddoo:: Sofonías es uno de los profetas menos conocidos del Antiguo Testamento. Hoy habla en la primera lectura sobre el juicio inminente. Pero el Señor dejará un “resto” en Israel. Esta imagen de un resto, de lo que quedará, será vital para judíos y cristianos. La carta de Pablo a los corintios evidencia su profunda preocupación por los cristianos de allí. Están muy confiados, dice, muy seguros de sí mismos. Los insta a recordar que Cristo les ha dado todo lo que tienen. El Evangelio de hoy incluye el comienzo del “Gran Sermón” de Jesús. Así como Dios le dio a Moisés la Ley en el Sinaí, ahora Jesús reúne a sus discípulos en un monte para enseñarles la nueva Ley. Cada una de estas Bienaventuranzas contrasta la humillación del presente con la gloria del futuro. La pobreza frente a las riquezas del Reino de Dios, el hambre de Dios frente a la satisfacción en el Espíritu, la persecución frente al Reino de Dios. Jesús aquí está hablando al “resto” elegido de Dios. Copyright©J.S.PaluchCo.,Inc.

TTrraaddiicciioonneess ddee NNuueessttrraa FFee:Esta semana recordamos la memoria de san Juan Bosco conocido como “Don Bosco”. Es curioso el apelativo de “Don” ya que es un título para nobles señores. En siglos pasados era el título común para un sacerdote diocesano, mientras que el título hermano se reservaba para sacerdotes y hermanos religiosos. En la Iglesia católica existen dos clases de sacerdotes. Unos son diocesanos o seculares quienes dedican su vida a la diócesis a la que pertenecen. Estos sacerdotes hacen voto de celibato y obediencia al obispo local. El otro grupo de sacerdotes son los que pertenecen a órdenes religiosas. Ellos viven en comunidad y hacen votos de pobreza, celibato y obediencia a su comunidad. En muchas partes a todos los sacerdotes religiosos o diocesanos se les llama “padre”. Este título fue usado en la Primera Iglesia y durante la Edad Media para honrar a hombres santos, ya fueran laicos o sacerdotes. Se les llamaba “padres” sólo cuando habían llegado a mostrar, con una larga vida, que podían animar a los demás con su buen ejemplo. Todos los sacerdotes debían vivir de tal manera que merecieran el título de padre, sin desearlo directamente.—FrayGilbertoCavazos-Glz,OFM,Copyright©J.S.PaluchCo.,Inc.

“ God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. Do you have the gift of speaking? Then speak

as though God himself were speaking through you. Do you have the gift of helping others? Do it with all the strength and energy that God supplies. Then everything you do will bring glory to God through Jesus Christ. All glory and

power to him forever and ever! Amen.” 1 Peter 4:10-11
