TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION As a result of the reforms of the Second Vatican Council, the Church has defined a new pastoral plan for your care whenever you struggle with illness. There are rites for children, a communal rite for celebration in the parish, forms of care for the sick at each stage and transition, and for the desperately ill. There is a much broader interpretation of who may be anointed, including not only the visibly ill, but those battling addiction, or the elderly coping with the frustrating aches and pains of aging. Children under seven are normally not anointed, since the oil is associated with reconciliation. (For the same reason, they do not receive ashes on Ash Wednesday.) However, children close to that age who have a serious illness often gain a deep level of spiritual insight and maturity, and may benefit from catechesis for the Eucharist. Once admitted to confirmation and/or Eucharist, a sick child should be anointed. It is a great strength of our present rite that a section is included with prayers tailored to the experience and understanding of a child. Considering our recent history of being fairly sparing with this sacrament, the generosity of celebration today is helping us to retrieve an essential part of our tradition of reverence for the sick. —Rev.

CHANGE OUR LIVES In today’s first reading, Jonah, sent by God to warn the people, storms through Nineveh, frightening the citizens out of their wits. It works! They repent before Jonah makes his way through a third of the city, and God sees “by their actions” how they have turned from evil.
DEVOTIONS Morning Prayer Group: Liturgy of the Hours Mon., Tue., Thurs., Fri. & Sat.: 8:10am - 8:25am
Then we hear Paul telling the Corinthians that “the world in its present form is passing away.” He calls for a change of heart. He stops short of telling them to set aside their everyday lives, but still he urges them—rather mysteriously—to live as though they aren’t doing the things they’re doing.
EXPOSITION OF THE BLESSED SACRAMENT Every 1st Friday following the 8:30 am Mass until 6:15pm ROSARY: Thursdays at 11:30am in the chapel ROSARIO EN ESPAÑOL - Jueves de 5:30pm6:30pm en la capilla
Finally, Jesus stands on the shore and cries, “The kingdom of God is at hand!” The apostles-to-be abandon their nets and follow him. Thus in all the readings we hear an invitation to a radical and immediate change in our lives. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

"Proeliatores Dei" is our parish's young adult group. Young adult parishioners ages 18-28 are welcome to join us every Thursday night from 7:30 - 9:00 in the Lion's Lair for faith, fun, and fraternity. For more information, please go to our website: www.thewarriorsofgod.org or call Fr. Philip at the church office (813-885-7861). We hope to see you there!
God's Word should be a central component in our spiritual lives just as it is one of the foundational elements of the Holy Mass. This is a reason we process in with the Book of the Gospels at the beginning of Mass. We are in need of replacing our Book of the Gospels that we use in procession and for the proclamation of the Gospel, and we are offering this wonderful memorial opportunity. The parish is trying to raise $1,000 to purchase the beautiful book and cover pictured here. The metal plate that forms the front of the cover is a bas relief image of the Cross with symbols of the Evangelists and Baroque filigree. The back cover plate is decorated with complimenting filigree. If you would like to make a donation towards the purchase price, or if you would like to make a memorial contribution, please call Irene in the church office (813-885-7861). Since inscriptions cannot be placed on the book or cover, we are offering memorial certificates for your contribution. God bless you, and thank you for helping us beautify the various elements of the Mass.

Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 25 de enero de 2015 El Reino de Dios ya está cerca. Arrepiéntanse y crean en el Evangelio. — Marcos 1:15
Domingo 25 de Enero de 2015. Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios La comunicación de Dios con el hombre se da ordinariamente en el interior, en lo secreto del corazón. Aquella comunicación suele ser una llamada, una invitación, para que el hombre encuentre el camino y se oriente hacia su destino, que no es otro que la felicidad personal. A veces, para algunas personas, la llamada de Dios tiene un alcance comunitario, cuando el elegido recibe la misión de ayudar a sus hermanos para que despierten y se conviertan de actitudes erróneas y negativas, que les apartan de la felicidad y ponen en entredicho la realización personal. Abundan en la Biblia situaciones en que alguien es llamado a convertirse y a convertir a sus semejantes. Como es el caso de Jonás: En aquellos días vino la palabra del Señor sobre Jonás: “Levántate y vete a Nínive, la gran ciudad, y predica el mensaje que te digo.” La llamada del Señor reclama siempre una respuesta que exige la conversión personal. Sabemos que a Jonás le costó en gran manera convertirse, y que lo intentó todo para evitar el cumplimiento de la misión encomendada. En el Nuevo Testamento, la invitación de Jesús a seguirle se produce con bastante frecuencia. Hoy nos fijamos, por una parte, en la llamada general que hace a todos, cuando, predicando por Galilea, dice: Se ha cumplido el plazo, está cerca el reino de Dios: arrepiéntanse y crean en el evangelio. Por otra parte, hacemos memoria de la llamada personalizada de Jesús a los cuatro pescadores del lago de Galilea: Simón y Andrés, Santiago y Juan. Ellos abandonaron a su padre y los útiles de pescar y se fueron con Jesús. Ellos recibieron la vocación comunitaria de proclamar a todo el mundo la Buena Noticia: Vengan conmigo y los haré pescadores de hombres. La pregunta angustiosa que nos hacemos ahora, es: ¿Por qué en nuestro tiempo tan poca gente sigue la vocación de misionar, de anunciar la Buena Nueva de Jesús? No será porque no hemos entendido, o esquivamos voluntariamente la recomendación de san Pablo a los Corintios, cuando les dice: El momento es apremiante, los que compran, como si no compraran; los que disfrutan del mundo, como si no disfrutaran de él: porque este mundo que vemos es pasajero. Antes al contrario, muchos se comportan como si este mundo fuese definitivo para siempre, y ellos con él; como si lo que se ve, se toca y se puede contar y medir fuese el auténtico valor que esperamos y lo único que puede satisfacer nuestras carencias más profundas, incluso las sicológicas y las espirituales.

Para Reflexionar Se solicitan. Más personas que hagan algo por mejorar las cosas, menos que las desaprueben. Más personas que actúen, menos que hablen. Más personas que digan: ¡Puede hacerse! menos que digan: ¡No puede hacerse! Más personas que inspiren confianza a los demás, menos que arrojen un chorro de agua fría sobre los que han dado aunque sea un sólo paso en la dirección correcta. Más personas que se interesen en las cosas y hagan algo para mejorarlas, menos que se sienten a un lado sin hacer más que encontrar los defectos. Más personas que señalen lo que es correcto, menos que insistan en señalar lo que es incorrecto. Más personas que enciendan una vela, menos que maldigan y renieguen de la oscuridad.
