A NEW DAY DAWNS Today we hear how Jonah, sent by God to warn the people, storms through the streets of Nineveh, scaring the citizens out of their wits. And it works! God has a change of heart, seeing “by their actions” how the people turn from evil (Jonah 3:10). A new day dawns. Next we hear Paul telling the Corinthians, “The world in its present form is passing away” (1 Corinthians 7:31). He calls for a change of heart. Stopping short of telling them to stop carrying out their everyday activities, he urges them—rather mysteriously—to live “as though” they aren’t doing the things they are doing. A new day has dawned. Finally, Jesus stands on the shore and cries, “The kingdom of God is at hand!” (Mark 1:14). Simon and Andrew abandon their nets—and even their father—and follow him. A new day had dawned. Everyone has to change when a new day dawns: the Ninevites, the Corinthians, the apostles, even Jesus! Didn’t a new day dawn today for us as well? Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

INCARNATION CATHOLIC SCHOOL Be Heroic. Be who God created you to be.
Winners of the Knights of Columbus Essay Contest received awards last week after Wednesday’s Mass, attended by the school. This essay was done in conjunction with Vocation Awareness Week.
ICS 8th grade students work in our School Garden. This project is part of their Science Curriculum at the school. Multiple grade levels participate in the Garden’s care and maintenance.
Members of the ICS Dads Club attended a recent ICS Morning Assembly. This assembly was the official kick-off to the Dads Club Hope Children’s Home Christmas Drive.
5111 Webb Road Tampa, FL 33615
The Saints came marching in during the School’s Celebration of the Eucharist on the Feast of All Saints. 3rd grade students did a report on the life of a saint. For Mass, they dressed as that saint and Fr. Michael Suszynski incorporated them into his homily, calling them up onto the altar and asking the students questions about their saint.
Phone: 813.884.4502 Fax: 813.885.3734 Website: http://www.icstampa.org/

NUESTRA CULTURA En la cultura actual hay una corriente prevalente por la que se piensa que los actos no tienen consecuencias. Entonces, no importa lo que se haga y se pierde fácilmente el sentido de la responsabilidad. Es fácil dejarse llevar por esa corriente, porque es más fácil y cómoda. Pero a la larga, no satisface. Page 9
22 de enero de 2011 TRADICIONES DE NUESTRA FE La cruda realidad de nuestro continente es que América es tierra de mártires. Esta semana recordamos el martirio del indígena quechua Segundo Francisco Guamán de Ecuador. Como la mayor parte de los indígenas americanos, los quechuas consideran la tierra como pertenencia de la comunidad humana. De ella come y vive todo ser viviente. Desde la llegada de los europeos la tierra americana ha sido explotada y con ella los indígenas también. El siglo pasado unos campesinos ecuatorianos dirigidos por Segundo Francisco comenzaron a reunirse con el Ministerio de Agricultura y el Instituto Ecuatoriano de Reforma Agraria y Colonización. Que agencias civiles tomen interés por los derechos del indígena es siempre “buena nueva”. Lamentablemente lo que es “buena nueva” para la muchedumbre pobre es “mala noticia” para los poderosos. Uno de éstos decidió vengarse en contra de los campesinos. En su rabia, asesinó al joven Segundo Francisco de sólo 25 años de edad. Pero su muerte, como la de todo mártir, no fue en vano. Su sangre derramada sobre la madre tierra ha ido sembrando más movimientos por los derechos de los indígenas. —Fray Gilberto Cavazos Glz, OFM, Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
Sabías que... El incienso es una sustancia granulada que cuando es quemada emite un humo aromático, y que para la Iglesia tiene varios significados. Cuando está prendido y ardiendo simboliza el celo y ardor que debe consumir a los fieles; el buen olor que despide simboliza el buen aroma de la virtud cristiana; y la ascensión del humo simboliza nuestra oración que se eleva hacia Dios.
