Third Sunday in Ordinary Time January 27, 2013 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. — Luke 4:18a TIME The holidays are well behind us; the year stretches out ahead. And what sort of year will it be? To judge by the words of Jesus in today’s Gospel, it will be “a year acceptable to the Lord.” And Jesus surely didn’t mean only the next three hundred sixty-five days facing his listeners at that time. When Jesus announced the “arrival” of God’s favor, it was a message for all time, for every year. Similarly, we read today in Nehemiah how the people gathered with solemnity to hear God’s word as though for the first time. They listened, and then fell to the ground and wept. But the prophet said, “Today is holy . . . do not be sad, and do not weep.”
Monday through Friday: 7am & 8:30am Saturday: 8:30 am & 4:30pm (Vigil) Sunday: 7:30am, 9:00am, 10:30am (signed), 12pm
Misas en Español: Cada domingo a la 1:30pm Cada viernes a las 6:30 pm
Latin Mass - 4:30pm, every Sunday CONFESSIONS:
The “year acceptable to the Lord” is this year. The day that is “holy” is this day. The time to listen is now. What sort of year will you have? What sort of day? God’s help is always here. What you do with each day can be holy and acceptable to the Lord if you but listen to and act on God’s word. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.

Catholic Schools Raise the Standards in 2013 This year’s theme for Catholic Schools Week is “Catholic Schools Raise the Standards.” Teachers and students in Catholic schools are called to more than high academic achievement–we are called to holiness, called to become saints. Does this mean, then, that academics take a back seat? Certainly not! We grow in holiness when we develop the gifts that God has given us, which includes learning all we can about the world around us so that we can, in turn, serve its greatest needs. Catholic schools, then, must help children grow both academically and spiritually– and it’s impossible to do one without the other.

Tercer Domingo del Tiempo Ordinario 27 de enero de 2013 El espíritu del Señor está sobre mi, porque me ha ungido para llevar a los pobres la buena nueva. — Lucas 4:18a Domingo 27 de Enero. Tercer Domingo Tiempo Ordinario Reflexionando la Palabra de Dios La Palabra de Dios es la mejor luz, estímulo, liberación y guía para nuestra existencia. Como lo fue para la generación de Israel en su vuelta del destierro. La comunidad cristiana vuelve a estar en medio de un mundo indiferente e incluso hostil. La alegría de poder escuchar la Palabra de su Dios se tendría que repetir también hoy, como saludable contrapeso a tantas otras palabras que ahogan nuestra libertad y nuestra verdad. El Señor Jesús, en quien creemos y a quien seguimos, en torno al que nos congregamos cada domingo o cada día, es el que nos transmite la verdadera Palabra. El, en verdad, no sólo ha dicho palabras: Él es la Palabra de Dios para la comunidad. Él es el quien ilumina nuestras dudas y el que nos libera de todo tipo de manipulación y quien nos enseña la Verdad. Vale la pena seguirle domingo tras domingo en su magisterio profético. Su Palabra será buena Noticia y liberación, consuelo gozoso y a la vez exigencia inspiradora para nuestro camino. La Biblia nos dice que todo ha surgido por el poder de la palabra de Dios. A semejanza de la palabra humana, la palabra de Dios ha iniciado el diálogo con el mundo, se ha convertido en revelación. Es palabra inicial, que tiende necesariamente a ser proclamada siempre y en todo lugar; y es palabra que cumple y realiza lo que anuncia. Esta Palabra de Dios si se la escucha, pues, si se la interioriza, si se la acepta, si en ella se cree y en ella se espera, inundará de gracia del Señor nuestro corazón. Y si así lo hacemos, si así nos comprometemos a vivir la Palabra de Dios cada día, cada semana, cada mes, no tendremos que esperar que se realice esta promesa, porque ya puede ser hecha realidad en nosotros, como el mismo Jesucristo nos lo anuncia: "hoy se cumple esta Escritura que acaban de oír". En otra ocasión nos revelará que: "El Reino de Dios está ya dentro de ustedes" P. Jairo
UNA BIBLIA EN CADA CASA La Biblia, el libro más traducido, más vendido, más polémico, más predicado, más poético... la lista sería interminable, no debería estar ausente en ninguna de nuestras casas. Cada domingo es proclamada y escuchada. Algunos pasajes nos sorprenden, otros nos hacen pensar y otros muchos nos resultan incomprensibles. La Biblia es como un rompecabezas gigantesco. Hay que conocer y manejar todas las piezas para ver y descubrir el gran proyecto de Dios. Pon una Biblia en tu casa y no dejes que se llene de polvo en la estantería. • Léela y conoce a Jesucristo. • Léala y te amarás más a ti mismo y a tu hermano. • Léela y encontrarás razones para vivir.

27 de enero de 2012 EL TIEMPO Los días de fiesta ya pasaron, el año se nos viene encima. ¿Y qué clase de año será? De acuerdo con las palabras de Jesús en el Evangelio de hoy, será “el año de la gracia del Señor”. Y Jesús con seguridad no se refería solamente a los próximos trescientos sesenta y cinco días cuando hablaba a la gente en ese tiempo. El anuncio de la “llegada” de la gracia de Dios lo hizo Jesús para todos los tiempos, para cada año. De manera similar, leemos hoy en Nehemías cómo la gente se reunía con solemnidad a escuchar la Palabra de Dios como si fuera la primera vez. Escuchaban y luego se postraban con el rostro en la tierra y lloraban. Pero el profeta decía: “Este día está dedicado al Señor… no estén tristes”. El “año de la gracia del Señor” es este año. El día “dedicado al Señor” es hoy. El tiempo de escuchar es ahora. ¿Qué clase de año tendrás? ¿Qué clase de día? La ayuda de Dios siempre está aquí. Lo que haces cada día será santo y aceptable al Señor solamente si escuchas y practicas la palabra de Dios. Copyright © J. S. Paluch Co.
PUENTES QUEBRADOS Cuando no podemos perdonar, destruimos el puente que debemos pasar si queremos llegar al cielo, porque todos necesitan ser perdonados. —George Herbert
