WE ARE A SACRIFICIAL GIVING PARISH “Do not worry about tomorrow; tomorrow will take care of itself.” Matthew 6:34 Jesus tells us that we cannot serve two masters. In many ways, worry is the other master in our lives. We worry about our job, our house, our family and our health. We worry about our future plans, our dreams and goals. We worry about measuring up, meeting expectations and keeping up with the neighbors. Today, God gives us a very soothing message. Do not let worry rule your life. Put God first and He will take care of everything else.

Eighth Sunday in Ordinary Time February 27, 2011 Can a mother forget her infant, be without tenderness for the child of her womb? Even should she forget, I will never forget you. — Isaiah 49:15 DON’T BE ANXIOUS People have, it seems, a natural penchant for misplaced emphasis on important things. They can easily get caught up with what they’re having for dinner or what they will wear. Often it is a tragedy that helps people to refocus on what is really important. What I shall wear is an irrelevant question when I am facing surgery or chemotherapy. What’s for dinner is immaterial to those living through grief or unemployment. In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells us not to worry. He doesn’t say, “Don’t eat. Don’t cook. Don’t buy clothes.” He says, “Don’t worry.” Jesus asks us not to relinquish our responsibilities but to let go of our anxiety. Anxiety betrays a lack of trust and Jesus reminds us that “Your heavenly Father knows” all that you need (Matthew 6:32). © Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

Incarnation Prayer Shawl Ministry HAPPILY MARRIED COUPLES: Life has a way of overwhelming a marriage: jobs, kids, activities, errands. Before you know it, checking your e-mail is more important than setting up a date night. When you arrive for the weekend, you’ll step away from daily life. Cell phones are turned off. To-do lists are forgotten and you’ll find a warm, engaging environment that’s all about making progress in your marriage. The Worldwide Marriage Encounter program is the largest pro-marriage organization in the world, taking place in over 90 countries, and has over 40 years of experience. The WWME experience is NOT a large counseling session, and you are not asked to participate in any small group. Rather, you learn marriage-changing principles from three Catholic couples and a Catholic priest that you can take home, apply to your daily lives, that will strengthen your marriage and increase the depth of your levels of romance and intimacy. The next available WWME weekend in this diocese is March 4-6, 2011. For information call (813) 270-7832 or go on-line at www.wwme-tampabay.org
Welcomes all parishioners and friends who knit or crochet to come and be part of this dynamic, productive group. Please join us in this ministry of peace, healing, love, comfort and hope. There are many ways to help the Prayer Shawl Ministry. Contact Silvia Rivera 813-885-7861, via e-mail at iccsrive@tampabay.rr.com or any of the ladies in the group.

Experiencia en Cristo Retiro Católico hispano para jóvenes en Tampa
PILDORITAS DE FE DEL PADRE DIEGO MARÍA, PRIMER SAGRARIO Tengamos a Jesús Eucaristía presente en nuestra vida, siguiendo el ejemplo de María. María fue el primer sagrario. Un sagrario viviente. En su visita a Isabel propició un gran milagro… Por aquellos días, María se levantó, y marchó de prisa a la montaña, a una cuidad de Judá; y entró en casa de Zacarías y saludo a Isabel. Y en cuanto oyó Isabel el saludo de María, el niño saltó de gozo en su seno, e Isabel quedo llena del Espíritu Santo;… y bienaventurada tú que has creído, porque se cumplirán las cosas que se te han dicho, de parte del Señor (Lc 1, 36.39-41.45). María, se dirigió a casa de Isabel para ayudarla. La Virgen nazarena lleva consigo al Hijo de Dios en su vientre. ¡Qué humildad la del Verbo!, que quiso seguir todos los estadios de desarrollo de los hombres cuando tomó nuestra naturaleza. ¡Qué caridad la de María su madre!, que no se quedó ensimismada en su embarazo, sino que salió enseguida a ayudar a la que más lo necesitaba. “Cuando, en la Visitación, lleva en su seno el Verbo hecho carne, se convierte en algún modo en «tabernáculo» -el primer «tabernáculo» de la historia- donde el Hijo de Dios, todavía invisible a los ojos de los hombres, se ofrece a la adoración de Isabel, como «irradiando» su luz a través de los ojos y la voz de María. (Juan Pablo II, Ecclesia de Eucaristía, n. 55) iglesia.org

NO ESTÉS ANSIOSO Al parecer tenemos una inclinación natural a poner excesivo énfasis en cosas importantes. Es fácil que nos embrollemos con el menú de la cena o lo que vestiremos. A menudo, cuando ocurre una tragedia, es que volvemos a enfocarnos en lo que es realmente importante. Qué ropa me pondré es pregunta irrelevante ante mi cirugía o quimioterapia. Qué cenaremos no es importante para los que están desempleados o de duelo. En el Evangelio de hoy, Jesús nos dice que no nos inquietemos. Él no dice: “No coman. No cocinen. No se compren ropa”. Más bien dice: “No se preocupen”. Jesús no nos pide que renunciemos a nuestras responsabilidades sino que abandonemos nuestra ansiedad. La ansiedad revela una falta de confianza y Jesús nos recuerda que “su Padre celestial ya sabe” todo lo que necesitamos (Mateo 6:32).© Copyright, J. S. Paluch Co.

NUESTRA CULTURA La manera de referirse a Dios como “diosito” de muchos hispanos indica un alto grado de intimidad y familiaridad con Dios. Es esa misma confianza que ve a Dios como padre y madre amoroso y tierno.
