Second Sunday in Ordinary Time January 15, 2012 Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you. - 1 Corinthians 6:19a SPEAK, LORD, WE ARE LISTENING In today’s first reading God keeps calling out in the night to a sleeping boy. Neither the boy, Samuel, nor his teacher, Eli, understands who is calling. But God’s persistence convinces them. Samuel is then ready—not ready yet to do anything, but ready to listen. “Speak, for your servant is listening” (1 Samuel 3:10). In the Gospel Jesus is out teaching. Various people notice him and begin to gather around. They soon become disciples and, like the young Samuel, are ready—not ready yet to do anything, but ready to listen. “Speak,” they say, “we are listening.” God’s voice is always with us, awake or asleep. It swirls around us like fog on a waterfront, enveloping us, gently urging us to wake up, to listen. Awareness of the voice comes first; then willingness to listen; then, in time, the decision to act, to live according to God’s word. Let’s ask today for the ability to keep our ears open so we don’t miss God’s voice. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

PRAYER OF THE WEEK January 15, 2012, Second Sunday in Ordinary Time Almighty ever-living God, who govern all things, both in heaven and on earth, mercifully hear the pleading of your people and bestow your peace on our times. Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Por nuestro Señor Jesucristo, tu Hijo, que vive y reina contigo en la unidad del Espíritu Santo y es Dios por los siglos de los siglos.

Misa–22 de enero, 1:30pm Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia, patrona de la República Dominicana El nombre de Altagracia invoca el favor del Altísimo. La imagen de Nuestra Señora de la Altagracia que se venera en la República Dominicana es todo un símbolo de ese favor, no por su gloria ni esplendor, sino por la enorme ternura que expresa. María mira la niño dormido en su regazo. La gracia de Dios ha bajado a ella y se nos ha concedido a todos como el mejor regalo, la mayor gracia, la mayor gloria para la humanidad. Page 9
15 de enero de 2012 SANTA INÉS No se sabe mucho de su vida, pero la leyenda recoge que Inés era una joven romana del siglo III. Tenia muchos atractivos físicos y además pertenecía a una familia rica. Tenia, por tanto, muchos pretendientes y sobre todo un joven rico que deseaba mucho casarse con ella. Inés tenia otra llamada de Dios, sin embargo, y deseaba dedicarse en cuerpo y alma al servicio de Cristo, con quien había tenido un encuentro personal y de quien se había enamorado. Inés se resistió a la solicitudes del joven y éste, airado, la denuncio a las autoridades romanas que perseguían a los cristianos. Fue arrestada y martirizada. Inés está enterada en una de las catacumbas romanas más famosas. Es modelo de jóvenes cristianos que sienten la llamada fuerte de Cristo a seguirle. No se trata tanto de la veracidad de la leyenda sobre esta santa, como del fondo de la propuesta de Cristo a los jóvenes de todos los tiempos. A veces se puede pensar que, en estos tiempos, es difícil que un joven escuche y responda a la llamada de Dios en un compromiso para toda la vida. Pero no era más fácil en tiempos de santa Inés, cuando el cristianismo era una novedad y un compromiso con un único Dios, personal y de por vida, era algo totalmente desconocido en esa sociedad. Para los jóvenes de hoy, la vida de Inés representa un desafío a seguir a Cristo radicalmente, a no tener miedo a las amenazas ni las adulaciones del mundo, a atreverse a ser distinto. Para la reflexión: ¿Cómo escuchas las indicaciones de Dios en tu vida? ¿Aceptas la responsabilidad y el desafío de ser líder para llevar a tu pueblo a la fe y al encuentro con Dios?

NUESTRA CULTURA A menudo en la cultura hispana no se considera la posibilidad de una llamada de Dios a la vida sacerdotal, religiosa o ministerial, por una variedad de razones: no se han sentidos invitados, no piensan que sean dignos de una llamada así, o temen quedarse sin descendencia y sin apellido si siguieran tal llamada. A veces parece que no va con nosotros. ©Nuestra Parroquia
Sabías que... En la Eucaristía, la plegaria eucarística se divide en varias partes: el prefacio, donde se dan gracias a Dios por sus obras; la epiclesis, donde se pide al Padre que envíe al Espíritu Santo sobre el pan y el vino; la anamnesis, en donde se hace memoria de la Pasión y Resurrección de Cristo; y las intercesiones, donde se expresa la comunión de toda la Iglesia reunida entorno al Cuerpo y Sangre de Cristo.
